have already reached Honolulu and
that money has been contributed here
and sent out of the islands. Whether
German agents are already at work
here is not known and officials will
not advance any theories in this re-
spect. 1t is believed, however, that
German agents are probably already

Straits settlements. -.
Consul Woohuan is authority for
the fact that Doctor Sen is now in
Canton, where he has surrounded
himself with a so-called congress of
loo followers and members of his
party. He is also reported to have
two divisions of the southern army at
his disposal, as well as two or three
Ssships which he designates as his
Avy. 1t is with these advisers and

nese government, thinks the consul.
China has joined the Allies in this
world war" said the Chinese consul
today, "and although she has no big
army to send to the front, yet she is
doing all she can within her own ter
ritory to aid her allies.
Consul Woohuan also points out
that the central government, shortly
following its reorganization, issued
an official mandate which denounced
Doctor Sen and large number of his
. followers. This action, adds the con-
sui, is one not generally known out
side of China.
German Agents Working
Another important point made by
Consul Woohuan is that it is knowl
that German agents and money were
sent recently to Canton and into Man
churia. This throws further light on
the belief that Doctor Sens proposed
revolution is being aided by the leu.
tons. This was done, believes the
consul, to stir up the bandit tribes
against the central government, as
we'll as to incite further revolutions
which might be detrimental to the
central government This action, he
adds, was brought out in the official
mandate denouneing Doctor Sen and
his followers.
Copies of the Liberty News, Chi.
nese newspaper published here,
which are now in the hands of the
district attorney, show that, on seve.
raj occasions, that publication urged
the Chinese in Hawaii to contribute
to the loan.
] Information to be on the lookout for
Chinese. subscribing to the loan or
otherwise aiding Doctor Sen was re-
ceived recently by the district attor-
ney's office. Thus far that office has
received nothing upon which to base
an action. In the Chinese district,
however, it is reported that the pro-
paganda is already being secretly
aided.
