ALL new WORLD WITH ALLIES
COMBINATION TO COME WITHIN
YEAR, SAYS SPEAKER.
Entire Western Hemisphere to Join
In War Against Kaiser Is Predict
ton of John Bassett.

Baltimore, Md, June 4.-John Bar.
rett, director general of the Pan
American union, in speech here be-
fore Liberty Loan mass meeting,
predicted that within year all the
Americas will be fighting together
against Germany.
eff Brazil enters the conflict, as
seems imminent" he said, "two-thirds
Of the entire population and five
eighths of the total area Of the We st.
ern hemisphere will be at war with
the common enemy. Can the remain
ing one-third Of the population and
three-eighths OF area stand against
the psychological, sympathetic and
economic appeal of their sister peo-
pies and countries having similar in
terests, similar institutions, similar
governments and similar destiny?
To Align With United States.
''That the whole Western hemi-
sphere will be directly engaged in the
war before another year passes is
very probable. Basing conclusions on
the consistent attitude of the Latin
American press and the expressed
opinions of Lat1n-American statesmen,
there is no question whatever that it
now looks as il events would newt
ably cause all of South American re-
publics to align themselves with the
United States and it's European Allies
and even take such steps as will be
equal to declaration of war.
"The preponderating public senti.
ment everywhere in Latin-America is
undoubtedly pro-American and pro
Ally.
"The tide of Pan-Americanism is
undoubtedly rising with a new power
and a new opportunity to save world
civilization and at this hour it looks
as if the flood would carry all Amer
lea with it,

DENIAL is MADE OF
STORY OF GERMAN BASE
Venezuelan Minister Informs America
That Talk of Kalser's Influence Is
All Nonsense.

Washington, June 4.-Published re-
ports of German overtures for a sub
marine base on the island of Marga-
reta, off the Venezuelan coast, drew a
statement last night from Minister
Dominica denouncirg the story as false,
characterizing talk of German politi-
cal influence in Venezuela as non
sense and declaring no circumstances
would arise to change the friendly
attitude of his country toward the
United States.
Honor and dignity force on Ven
ezuela an attitude of neutrality in the
present war;" he said, "but this neu-
trality is most friendly towards the
United States. The Venezuelan gov
eminent not for a minute would con-
slider granting a submarine base to
Germany. Any attempt to take the
island would find the government and
people of Venezuela ready to defend
every foot of Venezuelan territory"

THREATENED.

SITUATION Is SERIOUS
Demand Made That Military Governors
Be Dismissed and Punished
Three Loyal Provinces of
South China May Rise in
Support of President.

Picking, June 4.-Eleven provinces
of China, including the province Chi
Ii in which Picking is situated, now
no longer recognize the authority of
the Picking government. The provinces
of Kwang-Tung, Kwang-Si and Yum
Nan are supporting President Ii Yuan
Hung. The provisional assembly of
KwangTung, in assuring it's loyal
support to the president and parlia-
ment demands that the military gov
errors be dismissed and punished
DR.. Sun Vat Sen, former Premier
Tang Shao-Yi and other revolutionary
leaders are hurting to Canton.
Expect an Uprising.
1t seems probable that if the mill
tary governors persist in their revolu-
tionary course the three loyal south
China provinces named, Kwang-Tung,
Kwang-Si, and Yun-Nan will rise in
support Of the president.
At present the situation is serious,
and the president virtually powerless.
According to official information,
President Ii Yuan Hung intends to in
troduce bill taking in a declaration
of war against Germany if there is a
quorum present in parliament.
Parliament convened recently, but
there was no quorum owing to the
fact that ESQ members had left Picking.
Eleven provinces have joined in a de-
mand for the dissolution of parlia-
ment. Attempts are being made to
influence President Ii Yuan Hung to
resign rather than to dissolve parlia-
ment, the object being to throw the
blame for any disturbance upon the
militarists.
Ii Yuan Hung Issues Appeal.
The president has issued a mandate
pleading with Chang-Hsun, the COM
mander of the government troops at
Marking and F'eng-Kwo-Chang to come
to Picking and effect a compromise.
The commander has accepted.
The militarists are demanding a new
election Immediately for the purpose
of securing workable constitution.
President Ii Yuan Hung is power
less owing to the Picking Military COM
manders refusing to carry out his
orders.
