CHINA PROVINCE IN REVOLT
President, Virtually Held Prisoner
May Resien-Dismissal Of Mill
tary Governors Asked.

Peking.-Eleven provinces of China,
including the province Chilli, in which
Picking is situated, now no longer rec
ognizes the authority of the Picking
Government. The provinces of Kwang-
Tung, Kwang-Si and Yun-Nan are sup
porting Presi1snt Lii Yuan Hung.
The Provisional Assembly of Kwang-
Tung, in assuring it's loyal support to
the President and Parliament, de-
mands that the military governors be
dismissed and punished.
DR.. Sun Vat Sen, former Premier
Tang Shao-Yi, and other revolutionary
leaders are proceeding hurriedly to
Canton. 1t seems probable that should
the Military Governors persist in
their revolutionary course the three
loyal South China provinces, Kwang-
Tung, Kwang-Si and Yun-Nan, will rise
in support of the President. At pres
ent the situation is serious and the
President virtually powerless.
The chief of the gendarmerie of Pc
king has been requested to watch
President Li-Yuan-Hung, who presum-
ably virtually is prisoner and who is
expected to resign forthwith.

YOUNG AMERICANS

TEN MILLION ENROLL.
First Military Census Ever Taken In
the United States Is Completed
Without Disturbance.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. than 100000
young Americans enrolled themselves
for war service Registration day,
with but few weeks of preparation,
saw the first military census ever
taken in the United States completed
without a single untoWard event or
consequence The manhood of the ma
ton obeyed the Pr esident's call and
volunteered in mass, setting at naugnt
all the schemes and plottings OF Ger
man sympathizers and the few cranks
who have agitated against registration.
1t remains but to select the men VINO
are to go to the front. From prac-
tically every state assuring messages
came to Brigadier General CroWder,
Provost Marshal General, Federal SUI
pervising officer Of the great enter
prise. The Governors were unan-
imous in reporting that complete quiet
had prevailed throughout the day and
that full registration was Indicated.
In some precincts the late-comers
forced the officials to keep the polls
open until long after the 9 p. m. clos
ing hour set in the regulations. Cen
eral Crowder authorized them to keep
open as long as men wished to enroll
themselves. The result will be further
to delay the transmission of returns,
however. The early reports showing
full turnout all over the country in
dictated that the estimates of the Cen
Sis Bureau as to the number of men
within the specified age limits would
be verified by the count. Wherever
partial figures were available the estl-
mates checked closely.

ngton.-American naval gun
ners on an armed American merchant
man are believed to have bagged a
German submarine. Official announce.
ment to this effect was made at the
State Department. The location OF the
action between the merchant vessels
and the submarine, which lasted an
hour and a half, was not given. Neither
was the name of the American ship.
1t was stated, however, that the ship
was not the Mongolia, regarding which
cable advices had been received. The
Mongolia, according to word from
England, ran into a nest OF subma-
rines and had long running fight with
two of them. The official announce
ment says the steamers final shot "ap-
parently struck the submarine, which
raised clear out of the water and stood
stern up for few seconds. She then

PRISON CONvICTs MUTINEER
Defy Troops Bayonets-one Is Killed,
Many Hurt in Prison Riots-Ra'n
Drives Men to Cells.

Joliet, Ill.-After one prisoner had
been killed, eight severely injured and
several others hurt during three riot
GUS outbreaks at the state prison by
1000 convicts, a rainstorm drove the
last 200 of the mutineers to the cell
house, although they had stubbornly
refused to move before the bayonets OF
national guardsmen who quelled the
outbreak. Fires set within the prison
buildings destroyed the Prison yard
buildings, entailing total loss of $780,
900. Several other buildings were
damaged by the flames. A life con-
vict, said to be a leader of the riot,
suffered fractured skull when he was
struck by guard with dubbed rifle.
There were three riots during the day,
but the disorder was almost continu-
GUS from the first outbreak until or
der was finally restored by troops. All
offenders are locked in cells. The first
disorder came at breakfast, when 900
convicts showed displeasure over an
order issued by Warden Bowen that
hereafter prisoners could receive no
visitors except relatives.

Washington.-Th American mis-
sion to Russia, headed by Elihu~ Root,
arrived at Russian port Announce
ment of the safe passage OF the COM
mission was made by Secretary OF the
Navy Daniels. He had received a dis
patch from the commander of the YES
sci on which the journey was made.
Former Senator Root and his col
leagues will proceed to Petrograd i'm
mediately. They will arrive at the
Russian capital at time when the
new Government is hemmed in on all
sides by disorganization, royalist
plots, radical uprisings and lack OF
power to meet the menacing situation
which threaten either to force Russia
into separate peace or at best re-
move her from consideration as bel
ligerent.
Mr.. Root bears plenipotentiary pow
ers to act for the United States. Timed
to coincide with his arrival, message
from the State Department outlining
the war aims of the United States has
been cabled to the de facto govern
ment of Russia,
This statement was drafted, by Presl-
dent Wilson. He wrote it himself
picking it out with two fingers on the
old typewriter which has been the me-
dunn of so much of Americas diplo-
matte correspondence In the last two
years. The statement sets forth clear
ly what the United States is fighting
for and how far it will go. The state
ment is addressed to Russia for two
main reasons-to brace up the Repub-
lican Government of that country by
assurance of the aid of the great sister
republic across the seas, and to con-
vey to the Liberals of Russia the
knowledge that America is fighting for
the same ideals which they demand as
part of any peace treaty. The Wilson
statement was cabled several days
ago, but has been withheld from pub
LEGATION in America as matter OF
courtesy to Russia. The state depart
ment let it be known that the state
ment would be given out here on re-
ceipt of information that the Russian
Government has given it to the Rus
sian press.

Poles Stripped of Copper Wire.

Norwalk, o. - Over a thousand
pounds of copper wire were secured by
band of robbers who stripped the
wires from Bell Telephone poles along
a lonely road near here. Rural and
long distance telephone service was
almost completely demoralized in HUI
ron county as a result. The robbers
are believed to be the same band that
committed a similar robbery near Maui
NEE several weeks ago. They trav-
eled in an automobile. Detectives
from Cleveland and Toledo are at work
on the case.

GUARDSMEN MAY LEAVE
CAMP TO FILL VACANCIES

Fl. Benjamin Harrison, Ind.-Grad-
ually some of the plans of the War
Department for the prosecution for
the war are being revealed at the post.
An order was posted indicating that
many members of the national guard
of the various states are to be com
missioned as officers. The order came
from Major General Barry, Com
mander of the Central Department,
and was signed by Adjutant General
Johnson, of the United States army.
1t was in effect that many members
of the national guard who are now in
training here and at other canton
ments probably will become commits
stoned officers within short time to
fill vacancies that will result from the
increase of the militia units. 1t was
stated any member of the national
guard, any member of the regular
army or detached service, or any clt1-
zen enlisted in the training camps who
is rendered an appointment in the
guard will be discharged for that pur-
pose. A liberal construction of the
order is taken to mean that many ma
tional guard officers are liable to be
promoted for positions in the army
that is to be formed and that the non
commissioned men in the regular army
and the men training to become off,
GERS may have TN early opportunity to
become officers.

1T will be all the easier for us to
conduct ourselves as belligerents in a
high spirit Of right and fairness be-
cause we act without animus, not in
enmity, towards a people or with the
desire to bring any injury or disadvan-

 WASHINGTON, July 16.-Un- certainty as to Greece's status in the world war was cleared today with the receipt of official infor- nation that the Greek govern rnent has not only severed rela- tions with all four of the Central powers but is actually in a state of war with them.
 This information reached the State department from the Greek minister in Paris who notified the French government that Greece considered herself fuil belliger- ent and will act accordingly.
 The minister said it was not necessary to issue formal decla- ration such as was previously is- sued at Saloniki by Premier Veni- zelos, who took with him to Athens all responsibilities and commitments of the temporary Ssloniki government.
 As a belligerent Greece is ex- pected to lose no time in mobiliz- ing her resources and joining in the common Allied operations in the Balkans. The strength of the Venizelos army is placed at co., 900, while the former regular army is capable of reaching 3o0,- 900 men.
