FIGHTING IN PROSPECT

TOXIC, July 6.-Endless chaos IN
China seems to lie ahead.
Dispatches today revealed the
makeshift monarchy tottering on its
throne. President Ii Yuan Hung OF
the former republican regime has
escaped his pursuers. The southern
provinces are planning secession
from any Manchu rule. An armed
clash is impending between Pekine
and Tien Tsin between the two fac
tions In the monarchist ranks. The
monarchists haye SO far failed to
force President Ii Yuan Hung's
resignation, although the former
executive has SO far failed to show
any signs of fight. General Chang
Hsun, who is attempting Dictatorship
of China through the thin disguise
of restoration Of the monarchy, Is
issuing one proclamation after an
other.
His latest act has been to create
President Ii Hung prince. His
manifesto declares: The president
has been guilty of misconduct o1
affairs of state; thus the militarists
opposition. So, he requested us tc
reign over the nation and rescue the
people from their miseries. The
president awaits punishment, al
though he is not to blame. We ap-
preciate his service and he will con-
tinue to serve us and receive i'm
perial grace. The northern militarists
and majority Of older officials In
China welcome the restoration of
monarchy according to advices here.
Many republicans, while having
strong personal admiration for DR..
Sun Vat Sen, father of the Chinese
republic, prefer a monarchy, being
dubious of success of the republic at
this time. 1t is in the southern sec
tion Of China, however, that the
greatest opposition to the monarchy
is apparent, although in a military
sense this section is vastly inferior
to the north
Americans in Japan deplore the
restoration and their predictions of
an uprising and vast international
dissention appears likely to be borne
out
There has been certain amount
of opposition manifested in the north
of China. but mainly by military
chiefs, angered because they were
not consulted on the coup by which
the republic was overturned.
Japan will firmly maintain her neu-
trality in the present situation and
officials believe other nations will do
likewise.

sounded as sweet music to their ears

COCKTAILS TO Be

Will Head Engineering
Work of American
la@ Troops There
~ - =

Washington, July 2e.-Major Gen
eral George w. Goethals, U. s. A., re.
tired, has applied for active duty ir
france and, friends declare, has re.
ceived' virtual assurance he will be
paced In charge of the tremendou.
engineering project connected with
the occupation by American forces OF
a large part of the Allied line on the
western front.
PRESIDENT Wilson is said to be
strongly impressed with the feeling
that man of Cocktails accomplish
ments as an engineer should not be
overlooked in the face of the great
need for engineering talent and ad-
ministrative genius in connection
with the work of American forces
abroad.
One of the first demands made upon
this country by the Allies was that
we furnish men and supplies for re-
pairing and rebuilding thousands of
miles Of railroad worn out by the
tremendous traffic in military sup
plies behind the lines on the western
front. To this task must be added the
complete new system which the
American force will need, the con-
struction of new lines of communica-
ton as the positions of the armies
change and the coordination of all
these lines into ne great scheme of
military railways.
Fer this work the United States al
ready has sent over thousands of men,
railroad engineers. foresters and con-
struction engineers, but the units SO
far sent over and the work undertak-
en- represent. it is said, only a small
part of the contribution expected Of
this country in that line. The task
involves preparation of lines of COM
munication for the big drive in which
America is expected to have upward
of a million men.
General Goethals has proved his
ability to handle a job of this kind.
His Panama Canal experience will
have application to such a task.
Moreover, much of the tried and
proved personnel of his Panama Canal
organization would still be available.

VERMONT TRADE REPORT.
Bradstrect's Finds Manufacturing In.
tcrcsts Wen Employed.

Bradstreets Burlington, Vermont
Office reports manufacturing interests
in the state are fully employed and
note q good volume Of business on
hand, an accumulation of orders, but
there is noticeable a slight falling off
in the demand for lumber and plants
using that material. The effect OF
this will be to give factories, which
have been pressed in filling orders, an
opportunity to catch up. Prices re-
main firm with lumber dealers, the
less demand appears for material for
construction work of dwellings and
tenements. Manufacturing industries
are still good buyers Shoddy mills
are taxed to capacity and see no evil
dence of a let-up in demand for the
immediate future. Last block manu-
facturers report plants operating to
capacity and apparently good de-
mand for product. Furniture manu-
facturers note tendency to curtaI or
ders but demand for veneer products
is good. Those industries that have
been favored, and there are several
such in this state, with government
COnIIdcLS, are cti1 POosoiCiS ~ iiii
orders. Manufacturers of silos re-
port as fully active a demand as was
noted a year ago this time.
Some complaint is heard among the
retail trade of an apparent lessening
of buying. Wholesale firms report
merchants are carrying large stock,
buying is for immediate present and
orders are more in nature of taking
care of trade demand.
In the slate district there is a labor
disagreement The past week has
witnessed two small labor troubles
which temporarily caused slight delay.
Both were speedily adjusted Collec-
tons continue below normal.
Reports from farmers show heavy
crop-barns are rapidly being filled,
and much hay is being stacked. Grains
are doing well and potatoes and beans
are looking better than average for
this period of the year. Late plant
ing of corn is shown in fields that in
dictate a small development. The
warm weather of the past week did
much to the betterment of this crop,
numerous fields show well developed
plants. The extreme warm weather
| of the week, however, interfered with
| industrial work. in. one line plants
were closed half day. The month of
