CHINA IN QUANDARY.
Has War and Doesn't Know What to
Do With 1t.

Peking, Aug. 31-The Chinese press
is urging that a foreign commission
be sent to advise and assist the gov
ernment of China in preparing plans
for participation in the war. The
Peking Times says: China is not
making any progress toward par>
ticipation in the war and as she la
bors under the guidance Of the local
diplomatic corps her force as a moral
or martial PARTICIPATION will be moth
ing"
The Times declares that China must
appeal to foreign capital for assist
ance as it cannot get results from the
Peking diplomats. China, 1T says, had
not made necessary preparations be-
fore the declaration Of war and has
had little help from the Allies, ex-
cept in the form of interest bearing
loans. AS result, the paper con-
cludes the government is facing en-
barrassments which intelligent direc-
ton could have obviated.

Senate Military Committee
Makes Adverse Report on
HardWick's Bill.

Washington, Aug. 31-Unanimous
adverse report on Senator Hardwick's 8
bill to prohibit sending drafted troops
abroad without their consent was or
dered today by the senate military
committee.
The senate today resumed debate
on the war profits provisions of the
war tax bill under an agreemnt for
a final vote on the bill itself not later
than Monday, September 10. The
vote will be taken before then should
debate end sooner than expected.
The agreemnt also calls for dispo-
sttion of the war profits section not
later than next Wednesday and the
income tax provisions by September Z.
AS a result Of the agreement, the
petition for cloture fled on Wednes-
day has been withdrawn.
Senator Harding Of Ohio opened to-
days debate with an argument for
caution against to drastic conscrip-
tion of wealth. He urged that taxes
be levied which would not cripple
business deplete reserve strength OF
the nation and its ability to carry fur
ther loads. The war, he contended,
is not popular.
There are scores of contributing
reasons" he said. I'VE are sincerely
devoted to peace, the campaign cry
OF the year before our Involvement.
We are a polyglot people, without ra-
cial entity. Our free republic is full
of aliens. We have many who cloak
themselves in American habiliments
but their souls, genius and cunning
are loyal to the land from which
they came. We harbor the trained
propagandist whose business is to
spread sedition. We have plotters
and bomb planters and wholesale
murderers. We have the anarchist
whose creed is destruction. We have
the greedy and the profiteer in every
walk of life, as we have not been
clear in our reasons for making war
it would be we'll to say less about
world wide democracy and let it
ring clear that we mean to hold
America safe for Americans.

mittee continued it's consideration Of
the $11,53S,945,640 war bond and GER

poets that the measure would be re-
ported favorably Saturday in virtually

GERMAN SPIES SENTEN CED.
Three Gave Tip on Sailing of Swedish
Vessels.

Christiania, Aug. 31.-Three Ger
man spies have been convicted at
Bergen for supplying information to
submarines regarding the sailing time
of vessels which later were torpedoed.
Captain Laven and Officer Schwartz,
German citizens, and Thorsen, q Nor
wegian, all were given terms in the
penitentiary. Laven was sentenced
to five years, Schwarts to four and
Thorsen to ten years imprisonment.
Captain Laven admitted they worked
under the instructions of the German
authorities. He said German sub
jects were forced to obey such orders.
Norwegian newspapers, In COM
menting on the trial, emphasize that
the country must take note that Ger
man citizens must obey orders from
their home country.

ONLY FEW GO SEPT. 5
Another Change in Orders to Draft
Board Cuts Down Quota to Be Sent
to CaIltonment Next Wednesday.

Although both No. and No. 2 ex-
emption boards are still at work
passing on claims, examining a few
tardy registrants and preparing sup
Elementary lists of the drafted men,
there was little of public interest to
be given out today. The second ex-
emption district, however, has re-
ceived some additional orders from
Washington which will affect the
number of men from that district who
must leave for the cantonment on
September 5.
AS explained by members of the
board, the orders provide that on Sep
tember only two men will be sent
away. On September 6 three will
leave, on the 7th two more will go,
while on the 8th three will go and on
the 10th two will be sent away,
making a total of IL which has now
been designated as the first quota of
the 239 from the second district.
This change in plans has caused
some confusion, but as explained by
the board the original order was to
split up the 239 into four groups;
three of 80 per cent. each and the
fourth Of ten per cent. The latest
order changes this so that the first
quota, to be sent between September
S and 10, is to be only five per cent.
On September 19 the board will send
quota of 40 per cent. and early in
October 40 per cent. more will be
sent The remaining Is per cent will
be sent at date to be announced
later.
1t was stated at the first district
board that the initial quota to go be-
tween September 5 and 10 Is IA men.
Thus this board will send only about
three or four each day.

Copenhagen, Aug. s1.-A warning
that unless the German government
needs demands OF the Reichtag for
reforms the majority parties will
take measures was given by the
Relchstag main committee on We'd
nesday.
Resolutions of the majority, intro
duced by DR.. Karl Heine, socialist,
again demanded abolition of the po-
ntlcal censorship and limitation of
the military censorship to facts con-
nected with the conduct of the war
and criticism thereof. This was
deemed necessary because 1t is motor
lous that military authorities exercise
sweeping political censorship of the
German press on the pretense that
publications Of a political nature may
affect the military spirit of the
people.
\ DR.. Heine gave the government
four weeks until the assent bling Of
the Reichstag, to mend its ways.
otherwise, he said, the Reichstag ma
jority would be forced to take steps.
The government has received some
half dozen earlier warnings of SIM
liar nature, and its response In the
present instance is regarded as fair
test of the influence of the present
majority in the Reichstag.
