Try Cihle 70 The Tnhun.l

Shanghai, China, July 3.-The leaders
of the southern provinces Of China have
issued a manifesto here refusing to
recognize the monarchy set up by the
young Manchu Emperor, Hsuan Tung
The navy is leading the revolt, which
is expected to develop serious conse-
quences.
Refusal of the southern provinces OF
China to support the new monarchy ol
Hsuan Tung was predicted here on re-
ceipt Of the news Of the overthrow Of
the President by the military gov
ernors, both Imperalsts and Conserva-
tive Republicans.
The southern provinces are repub-
lean to the core. and have stood
stanchly by the republic ever since ITS
foundation. The coup d'etat effected
by the northern military power was not
expected to go unchallenged by the
highly educated southern leaders. who
have realized that Chinas salvation lies
in a republican form of government.
That serious troubles will follow the
accession Of the Manchus TO power is
the belief of all observers of Chinese
developments in this country. Officials
in Washington expressed the opinion
Monday that the worst civil war in the
history of China would follow the over
throw of the republican government.

Troops in France
To Enter Training
Camps This Week
Battalion Arriving in Paris for
the Fourth Wildly Greeted
by Great Crowds

Paris, July 3.-The American troops
now at a French port will begin going
to training camps for instruction be-
hind the lines by the end Of this week,
it was announced this morning. The
first contingent may start thence i'm
mediately after the Fourth Of July cele-
bration.
A battalion of American troops ar
rived in Paris this morning TO parade
on July I. The Americans were greet
ed by wildly enthusiastic crowds, which
packed the streets through which they
marched to Neuilly Barracks, where
they are quartered The officers are be-
ing entertained at the Military Club.
The Americans arrived az the Auster-
litz Station at 7:4O o'clock, having been
thirty-six hours on the way from the
French port at which they debarked.
The soldiers were greeted By repre-
sentatves of the French and American
armies. The French Red Cross proyld-
ed refreshments. and the American Red
Cross and Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation also sent representatives to
greet them.
Headed by their own band, the sol
diers. carrying their rifles and field
packs, fell in and marched off TO the
barracks. The crowds waved American
and French flags Hundreds Of Ameri-
cans were in the throng az the station.
As the troops swung through the
streets French girls pinned bouquets
and American flags on the soldiers
breasts. Flowers were scattered along
the route. The band played Yankee
Doodle Dixie" Marching Through
Georgia" and other American airs.
French soldiers on leave grasped the
hands of the Americans and marched
beside them.
Several times groups Of shop girls on
their way TO work slipped through the
police lines and kissed the soldiers, TO
their great embarrassment. Now and
then an American voice would be heard,
calling out, Hello, boys." Welcome 20
Paris!" or Good Luck" When the
regimental colors were carried past the
men barred their heads. The Americans
were greatly surprised TO see a number
Of children kneel in the streets as the
flag was carried by. They were or
phans from an institution IN the neign-
borhood.
The soldierly bearing Of the men IN
pressed military observers. Ihey were
lean and brown, and the new field packs
gave them quite a different appearance
from British or Continental soldiers.

and accurately kept by each unit. The
orders he issued at the outset, which
comprised scores of details, were OBJ
served. the admiral declared, with such
exactness that he contingent units and
conveying warships invariably met
each other within a half hour Of the
appointed time
Never Unguarded
This exactness on the part of the
navigation officers, the admiral said
undoubtedly was responsible in no
small degree for the brilliant success
OF the entire undertaking, because,
thanks to it. the troop and supply ships
were never for moment unguarded.
The admiral allowed The Associated
Press correspondent a glimpse into
some details of the exhaustive prera-
rations for departure from America
which of necessity provided against
every routine occurrence and countless
emergencies. Without going into de-
tail, he pointed out that these prepa-
rations included minutest plans about
movements, signalling and even dis
posal of the vessels garbage. so that
no tell-tale trail might be left.
A big contributing factor in the
crossing, according to officers Of both
branches Of the service, was the hearty
cooperation between the army and
navy. From the time of the departure
until the present there had not been
the slightest suggestion of friction
they declared, and coordination had
played its part distinctively in the sue
cess of the expedition.
An American War Department Off
cial arrived here to-day to inspect local
conditions and report what needs exist
that can be supplied from Washington.
The officer has been making tour OF
France and making arrangements wher-
ever American forces are located or
will be located.
The American naval officers have
utilized the few days they have been
here to make hurried trips to Paris and
nearer French cities. To-day the ma
jority are back, ready to return to
America whenever the order may come.
All of them, however, are keenly de-
sirous of returning to France at the
earliest possible moment.
Many OF the junior officers have ex-
pressed hope that they may gain admis-
sion to aviation schools where Ameri-
cans are being schooled in hydroplan-
ing. and several have applied to the
American Embassy for assistance in en-
listing in this branch.
From the youngest ensign to the ad-
miral himself, the American naval Off
GERS have been received with open arms
by their French brother officers, and
they are enjoying hospitality which
they declare could not be exceeded.

A French seaport, July delayed
The last units of the American expedl-
tionary force, comprising vessels load
ed with supplies and horses, arrived
here to-day amid the screeching OF
whistles and moaning of sirens. Their
coming. one week after the first troops
landed, was greeted almost as warmly
a the arrival of the troops themselves
because it meant complete success OF
the undertaking.
Many of the American soldiers
crowded down to the wharf to greet
the last ships Of the expedition, and
the American vessels in the harDor
which had made up previous contln-
gents of the force joined in the well
come. The late arrival Of the supply
ships was due not only 10 later de-
parture from America, but to the fact
that the vessels were slower than those
which had come before. The delay
caused little anxiety, although 1t
worked temporary inconvenience to the
troops, who haG been waiting for ma
terials to work with.
Training Schedule Begins
Equipped with supplies for which
they have been waiting since their ar
rival a week ago, the American troops
encamped here to-day began an in

long. strenuous marches about the
country. This schedule will continue
every day except tomorrow, which Will

Republican Army
Advances to Battle
In Fukien Province

The Republican army OF Kuantung
Province has already commenced ITS
northward advance. according to cable
messages to the Chinese papers in New
York. The troops are reported to have
made their way into the neighborlng
Province of Fukien. Their progress is
being opposed by the army under the
Military Governor of Fukien, and
fighting is in progress.
The Republicans are being aided by
the cooperation of the Chinese feet

information concerning the vessel, her
tonnage, equipment, and even her
destination and when she expects to
reach it. German companies in this
country are active in marine insur-
ance, and, by the system of reinsur-
ance. obtain abundant data. which
would be immensely valuable TO the
German government, if it could be got
out Of the country. And this is a
comparatively simple matter.
The government has full power to
establish a rigid censorship upon all
outgoing cables, without infringing
upon the freedom of the press or Of
speech, constitutionally established
within the country. But the govern
ment is not strict in this regard.
Censorship Inadequate
Information dealing directly with the
army or the navy is, of course. prohib-
tied. Further than that, the censor
ship does not go at present. Cipher
cables cain go through absolutely un-
suspected, and dispatches openly hos
tile TO the United States may be sent
TO neutral countries from South Amer
lea.
The German agent, in fact, has few
troubles in obtaining and transmitting
his information mere. He can gather
it freely at the German insurance
companies, which have authoritative
facts. and he may send il, as long as
he takes the most common precautions,
directly under the nose Of the censor
who presides with lenient hand at the
cable Offices.

CARTER THOMPSON.

Over two years ago Mr.. Joseph
Wheeler Thompson, named after
the stratician, Gen. Joseph Wheel
err, first met Miss Lucy Carter, the
charming daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. X. w Carter, of Iuka, Miss,
and then and there decided that
he would capture this young lady's
heart, even if he had to resort to
strategy. He wooed her long,
much to the interest of her many
charming friends, and met with
such success that he at once Gre
ated panic among her many other
admirers. Though Joe wandered
far from Iuka, even to the wilds of
Arkansas, Alabama and Ohio,
still the great magnate of his heart
brought him back to Iuka to spend
the holidays, and in his persistent
manner he renewed the attack on
the Young lady but still she hest
tated, until Joe, losing heart, gave
up the fight and had even boarded
the train to bid Iuka adieu. But
the picture of the beautiful girl he
had just left came before his eyes
and Joe, declaring his intention
to win or die, grabbed his grip
and jumped off the train, renewed
his pleadings with the young lady,
she agreeing that he might call
the next evening, they having ar
ranged the code of signal that
would mean SO much for the fu-
ture of The gallant Joe If his call
was to come up and cook then Joe
was to know he had a cook for
life, but if it was to come up and
play rock, Joe knew that he was
to go back to cold Ohio alone.
For over eight hours Joe sat
waiting for the verdict Of the
jury, and finally when it came at
$3.50 he had just time enough to
grab preacher and run. AS this
charming young couple left for
their future home in Ohio at
9:46 that night they took with
them the best wishes for happy,
prosperous life from their many
friends in this section. x
