 Military Leaders. q

Washington, July a-The restora- tion of the Manchu dynasty in China has been demanded of President Lii, by General Chang Hsun and other military leaders, according to state department advices from Minister Reinsch today. Civil war in China is feared if the militarists have the power behind them they seem to have.
 Tokio, July 2.-Relations with the United States and China continue to be the basis of opposition attacks on the government in the diet. Ketaro Muchizuk contended in parliament Saturday that a grave misunderstood ing exists between Japan and the United States, owing to am biguity of Japan's Chinese policy, many Ameri- cans suspecting an intention to sub- jugate the Chinese and to exploit their resources.
 M. Mochizuki suggested that the difficulties might be removed if Ja- pan negotiated with the United States to exchange Japan's newly acquired South Sea Islands for the Philippines.
 Viscount Motono, the foreign min- ister, declared relations with the United States were never friendlier and a cordial understanding exists between the two governments.

HEAD OF PROHIBlTIONISTS ::
 MAKES ATTACK ON WILSON
Henshaw Criticnes Presi-:: -}
 dent for Coming to Res
 cue of Brewers in the <. Final Hour.'''

Washington, July 2.-virgil Hin- shaw, chairman of the national com- mittee of the prohibition party, to- day issued a statement attacking President Wilson in asking prohibit ton leaders not to delay passage, of the food control bill by insisting on retention of the provisions affecting the manufacture of beer and light wines.
 We would undoubtedly have na- tional prohibition within thirty days said MT. Hinshaw, were 1t not for the interference of Woodrow Wilson coming to the rescue of the brewers in the final hours
 If his purpose had been to speed legislation he would not have sug- gested course involving the action of the entire lower house excepting five members.
 'He may lead the economic forces, but he cannot lead the moral forces henceforth.''
 The Anti-Saloon Leagues legisla- tive committee. in response to Pres ident Wilson's request, agreed not to press for prohibition of beer and light wines, in connection with the food bill but would work for the en- actment of such legislation later on.
 The senate contest over prohibition was complicated somewhat today when the agricultural committee endorsed Senator Cores substitute stopping dis tillation of beverages and giving the president authority to suspend manu- facture of beer and wines. The ad : ministration compromise of Senator Chamberlain was rejected by the committee. te5 k Despite the committees action ad-
 ministration leaders planned a con- k test in the senate to prevent giving Es the preAldent any power to stop pro- |s pctlonsspf beer and wine and be E M1yad thAy; would be su ucoeseful, all k though If absolutely necessary many sof them are willing to accept the Gore plan.
 The agriculture committee stood six to five on the Gore substitute The committee is composed largely of those with prohibitipnist leanings.
