CHINA WANTS No
|NTERF FERENCE
BROTHER OF SHERIFF LEAVES
FOR REPUBLIC.
POSTAL COMMISSIONER
SAYS CHINA WANTS TO BE LEFT
STRICTLY ALONE.
Interference by America, Japan and
Other Nations Not Desired by
the New Republic.
POSTAL COMMISSIONER

If left alone, the provinces of Chi
ia, now seemingly disrupted and or
the verge of civil war, will compose
their differences. This is the opinion
Of L. C. Applestill, brother of Sher-
iff c. M. Applestill, who left last
night for San Francisco to take a
steamer for Peking, China, where he
is the chief postal commissioner for
the province of Penking.
"In the twelve years during whicf
| have been serving as postal com
missioner at Peking, there have been
many differences arising between the
various political factions and provin-
ces in China said Mr.. Applestill last
night, but all the quarrels have been
settled, once the opportunity is given
the factions to get together.
"Of course, the southern provinces,
which are now reported to be in re-
volt, have never been firmly cement
cd to the central government since
the fall of the last emperor. Several
interior states have been in the same
category. 1t is unreasonable to ex-
pect the provinces of China to be as
firmly cemented as the states of the
American Union, considering the dis
tuJbances and intrigues of the past
few years.
Mr.. Applestill will sail on the Pa
cific Mail steamship China from San
Francisco, July 81, for Peking, to
again take up his duties as. postal COM
missioner for the province of Peking.

ice for the entire republic of China.

RIOTS At CAPITAL OVER
SUFFRAG|STS BANNERS
CROWDS TEAR UP OFFENSIVE
PLACARHS.
MATTER is SERIOU S
CRIES OF TRAITOR" GO UP AS
BANNER APPEARS.
One Banner After Another Rushed
From Suffragist Headquarters
as the Crowd Destroys Them.
(By Associated Press

Washington, June 21.-The persis-
tency of suffrage sentinels culmi-
mated today in an anti i-suffrage DEM
onstration in front of the White
House gates, when a crowd of nearly
thousand tore down the suffragists'
banners for the second time today.
The crowds victory was short-lived
fer in ten minutes two more banners
had been obtained from suffrage head
quarters nearby. Policemen notified
rassersby to let banner alone. Suf-
frage sentinels brought one banner
after another with the same inscrip-
ton. Another crcowd tore down the
second banner. The police did not in
terfere until after the banner had
been wrecked.
The banners were IN front of the
White House gates for only fe wmo-
nents. The crowd was not large.
A man passing in an automobile
stopped his car, walked over, tore
part of the banner off and resuemd
his journey, refusing to give his name.
Later, after the crowd shouted "Trai-
tori man giving his name as Geo.
b. Montgomery of Richmond, Va, tore
the remainder from it's frame. The
police dispersed the crowd. Miss Lucy
Furns of New York and Miss Cath
crime Moorey of Boston held the BAN
rers. No attempt was made to touch
them.
1t is believed that the suffrage
leaders are highly elated over the
events of the past two days and the
tearing down of their banners by
crowds, thus giving emphasis to their
campaign to force President Wilson to
come out in favor of universal suf e
frage.
The police were forced to clear the
sidewalks in front of the White House
several times. One wamon, after
talking earnestly with sentinel, sud
denly snatched her banner and ran.
The crowd took away the other BAN
hers. The police arrested Mrs. Dee
Richardson, who, they claimed.
snatched the banner.

Paris, June 21.-France will stake
all on the determination to wrest Al
SAGE and Lorraine from Germany.
This question will be teh paramount
one before the Entente allies at the
end of the war, Minister Cambon de-
clares. His speech in the Chamber
cf Deputies today was one of the most
epochal ever uttered by Franch
statesman, and defines the attitude of
France as the solution of questions of
territory after the war.
"The American public must know
that all our questions, those of econ
cmy, maritime, colonial, indemnity and
Ee}gian matters, must yield before the
great truth-Alsace-Lo is part
o. France, and must be restored to
her." M. Cambon declared. "Accord-
ing to its solution, posterity will know
who triumphed.
Germany realizes that America
lrings freshness and ardor into the
war. The Kaiser and his aides are
therefore multiplying their efforts to
spread dissention among the Entente
allies"
The utterances of President Wilson
were eulogized by M. Cambon and
other ministers and deputies. The en-
trance of America into the war was
declared to be the last straw for the
Teutonic empires. '

on the basis of color. Fresh seed

Washington, D. C.-Accoydmg to
the report of the Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue, nea.ly 1900 retail
liquor dealers and more than 700
wholesalers went out of bu mess per-
manently during tie fiscal year o.
1916. Also, 40 brew cries, 80 distil-
leries, and 20 rectlfors shut up shon
for good.
But Liquor rnc1 Dciat to IN increase

as compared with l9lN, and assert
that while there arc feTea PRODUCERS
and sellers. tho co2ounptior is in
creased, regards 2s3 Of the 1pread O.
the dry area, ond that figures prove
the contention Of the.wats that Pro
hibition does not prohibit.
But this l;Hucr claim is punctured
by David A. Gates, DerHty Comris-
sioner Of Internal Revenue. When
asked as to the possible cause for the
increase shown by the lax receipt
from liquor, Nv. Gates s&id that the
| government is now collecting all, or
! practically all the tax On whisky,
whereas prior to 1918 i id rot do So
as the distil'er'c1 fr&udaIently with
held large sums due Uncle Sal2 from
this source. Ny. Gates does not know
if the additional amounts collected in
1916 equals the increase shown for
that year, but thinks that the roofing
out of the frauds can be credited with
big part OF the increase.
Other factors to which part of this
increase may be attributed is the bic
increase in the population of cities ant
the unusual prosperity which always
results in Individual indulgences.
1t is quite certain that the liquor
interests are not satisfied with the
showing of the Internal Revenue de-
partment, even if the revenue figures
on the surface give them something
to talk about. They are worrying
over the decreased number of brew
cries, distilleries and saloons, as wei
as the constant spread of the Prohibi
tion area.
