DENIES U. 5. HAS HAND
IN CHINESE REVOLT
Lansing Replies to Charges Of
Newspapers in Far East.

Secretary Lansing today made
heated denial OF charges published in
Far Eastern newspapers that the
United States is responsible for the
Chinese revolution.
The anti-American charges in this
connection are believed to be OF Ger
man inspiration. Secretary Lansing
authorized this statement:
Some OF the papers in the Far
East have conveyed the idea that the
United States IS back of a Chinese
revolution. wish to deny II abso-
lutely. There is nothing we have
done that could have been construed
in this light"
Has Taken No Action.
Secretary aLnsinE added that the
first essential is the success Of the
domestic government Of China, and
so long as there is revolution they
cannot have that. "The United States
Government" he added, "can take no
action with reference TO the trouble
in China and has not taken any &C
ton.
I'VE have left the Chinese abso-
lutely free to work out their own sal
vatiOn." Mr.. Lansing said.
Among the allegations in the Far
Eastern newspapers was one that the
United states had actually put up
money for the Chinese revolution.

REJECTED BY LAURIER
Sir Wilfrid Objects to Consumption
Without Referendum.

OTTAWA. Ont. June Plans for
a coalition cabinet have been rejected
by Sir Wilfrid Iaurier, the Liberal
leader, It was definitely announced to-
day.
The proposal which was advanced
by Premier Sir Robert Borden was
rejected on the conscription issue,

should first pass on the measure.
Premier Borden will now press the
CONSUMPTION bill. 1t will probably
be passed, after which parliament
will be dissolved. The government
will then go to the country on the
CONSUMPTION issue with probably Bor-
den as premier, and the Conscription-
lists Of both parties supporting him.

column of unsolved mysteries today.

Court of Honor Gives Courage.
At Fifteenth street many of the
veterans seemed to waver. but as
they caught sight OF the Court OF
Honor and President Wilson. they
seemed infused with a new vigor.
Reaching Seventeenth street, where
they turned to go to the Monument
Grounds, the veterans broke their
ranks, some OF them sitting on the
curb before entering the Ellipse.
On the Ellipse a corps Of Red Cross
nurses and women who had volun-
teered their services served the vet
Grams with sandwiches, coffee, and
ice cream.
Under the shade OF trees in the

"spruced up" and grouped them
