IGNORED FALSE PROPHET
Chinese DcmagOg's Advice Did Not
Have Any Effect on Events.

Nniilcsc Dcn3SOgS AuNlcc INA Not
Have Any Effect on Events
-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)
PEKING, March 3O.-Sun Yatsen's
effort to prevent parliament from
severing diplomatic relations with
Germany has provoked a strong dis
approval from the Chinese press. He
has been denounced as highly pre-
Sumptuous in sending a dispatch to
Premier Lloyd-George of Great Brit
ain urging that he require British Of
ticials to cease their efforts to force
China into the eHtente.
A similar message which Sun Yat-
sen sent 20 all the members of the
Chinese house of representatives and
senate also has been widely criticized.
His statement that China's entrance.
or threatened entrance, into the Eu-
ropean war with the entente might
provoke q slaughter of foreigners and
general uprising OF Mohammedans
has been declared absurd
sun Ytt-sen's influence recently
Naned very greatly in China. His ef-
forts to collect money which ~ al
leees was expended in the Yunnan
revolution of last year have been ex
tremely unpopular. and he has been
generally denounced by the press. In
his Message to the members of parlia-
ment Sun latsen wrote:
"Thoef who advocate the adViSa-
hihty of associating ourselves with the
entente powers fer reasons Of profit
al often heard to say that as soon aS
China enters the war she will at once
hecome a first-class power and that
there will be no more difficult diplo-
matte problems for her to solve. But
my opirion is that the elevation of II
weak country to the status Of first
class power depends entirely upon it's
own national stamina.
after matured consideration and
careful stury. | have cone to the CON
clusion that two kinds of trouble will
aiise front the country's abandon
ment of neutrality: G) the posi-
bility of a blind antiforeign move
nent, and (2) the disaffection of the
Mussumans in this country.
THE antiforeign feeling lies hid IN
the bosom of most Chinese peoplc
and it will break out any time when
there is something to provoke It. In
the twinkle If IN eye we shall sea
Cnce more a Boxer uprising in our
midst.
THE mohamme6ans in this country
form a very important factor and
their influence can neither be ignored
nor nlerestimated. If war Is de-
clared upon Turkey the Mohammedan
fanatics here will certainly rise
against the government for the de-
fense of their religion. when this
happens the country may date her
history of great disorder and national
extinction from that day"

FLYING BOATS
TO KILL SUBS
Enormous Planes to Carry

Charles NJ Manly. consulting en-

pie, in an address before an engi-
heering society Of Buffalo, made some
Startling predictions which are re-
corded by the Morning Express and
which will attract more than mere
curious interest everywhere in view
ct the conflict with Germany which
we have now undertaken. The an
RIVER to the submarine, he said, Is the
flying boat, the invention OF Glenn
il. Curtiss. He told the three hun
,dred and fifty men gathered in the
fdining hall Of the Hotel Statler that
he expects the war to last at least
two years longer.
Meanwhile" he said, "the imme-
diate future Will see some very i'm
lortant developments in flying boats
The answer to the submarine will be
the flying boat large enough to carry
q gun of sufficient caliber to sink Il
submarine by firing at Il when the
latter is submerged or when nothing
but its periscope is showing. Such a
flying boat might also readily be
equipped with torpedoes and tubes for
launching them so that il could fight
the submarine with its own weapons
or 1t could be used against commerce
raiders.
Certain 1t is, ] think, that the
largest flying machines will be made
off the marine type, and machines
several times the size of any so far
made will be seen in very few
years"
Even Larger than Whale.
How large these flying boats of the
future may be was left to the imagi-

Of himself and his family and the
preservation OF his property and the
right to enjoy the fruits of his labor or

outcome. There is no outrage that

that the only effective way to wage

morals of our enemies a staggering
blow and demonstrate at the outset
that we are in this war to win.
'And do not forget that to deal this
blow at once may save countless
American lives.
"On the other hand, to hesitate, to
