SEES REPUBLIC
IN China FOR
YEARS TO COME

China will continue to be a repub-
lie, but II the monarchial party could
have remained in power q year the
country would better have taken hold
Of q number Of questions the south.
ern Chinese are fighting for.
The situation now seems to be a
struggle between the idealists Of
South China and the old. strongly
intrenched "grafters" Of the monarch
ial party.
These are the views held by George
r. Marsh, president Of George T.
Marsh & Co., Of San Francisco, i'm
porters OF Chinese and Japanese art,
who Is completing his 9th round
trip TO the Orient In search Of ORR
entail art treasures and curios for his
company. He is q through passenger
on T. X. K. liner bound for San
Francisco.
Under the old system, the mon.
archy was under the Manchus, with
recognized official grating" said
Marsh today. They knew how far
they could 60 and how much they
could get.
Young China started with the idea
Of reforming the nation by means Of
a republic. They set out to crush the
power Of monarchy and draw into
their fold dissatisfied members of the
monarchical party, the latter having
become dissatisfied owing to the linn
itations placed on their official graft
Ing while under the monarchy.
The Republican party was forced
to take on number. of these dis
satisfied grafters, who were mostly
northern Chinese and who quickly
gained control Of the departments
wherein greater gratis were possible.
Thus It was that many Of the Chi
nese came to see that conditions
were even better under the old mon
archy then In the new republic, as
the graft was not controlled and
there was no way Of telling where
It was coming from,
That was the direct cause of
bringing about restoration of the mon
. archial form, which lasted but q few
days, after which the republic was
re-established.
ct Is q question whether the new
monarchial government would not
{ have been the best thing for the ma
ton for time-say a year or So
as the new monarchial government
would have met good many Of the
questions called for by the idealists
OF the southern body who are trying
to maintain the republic. UnQuestion-
ably, however, the young chinese have
set an ideal for them Of q perfect re-
public. The monarchy ; could not
have held control indefinitely but It
would have been an aid to the for.
nation of an ideal republic such as
the majority Of the southerners are
working for"

DESTRUCTIONOF
GROWINGCROPS
IS SUGGESTION

BIRMINGHAM, England-(Corre-
spondence Of the Associated Press.)-
A plan to destroy the German crops
by setting them on fire by means Of
fireballs dropped from entente air
planes, is suggested by Lord Cal
thorpe, former member Of the Brit
ish army who has given much thought
to the food situation brought about
by this war. Lord Calthorpe married
q daughter Of Ogden Holman Bur
rows Of Newport, r. I.
Lord Calthorpe's proposal, made
known through letters to the news
papers in London and other cities OF
England, has attracted a great deal
of attention. While many methods
for bringing Germany to terms by the
starvation route have been suggested
no such theory as Lord Calthorpe's
had before been preached.
I'm the Rhine Valley and districts
within reach Of our aircraft" he
writes, there are vast tracts Of land
planted with grain, the fields touch
ing one another, and without fences
or hedges. Similar conditions exist
near the Russian frontier of'Germany
and in the plains of Hungary.
"Fireballs dropped from airplA1es
would. If properly constructed, destroy
thousands of acres, as the crops be-
come drier than in England, and with
little risk to the inhabitants, other
wise non-combatants, as cottage and
farm buildings among the fields are
rare
"A suitable fireball could soon be
devised and manufactured by our ex-
perts, but 1t is imperative, however
that the necessary experiments and
plans are made quickly, as the Ger
man harvests are earlier than our.
There is therefore no time 60 be lost"
Lord Calthorpe says that, as it has
become question as to which coun-
try starves first, Germany or Eng
land, it Is important that the entente
allies lose no time in Fastening the
destruction Of the German crops.

Simplicity Rules
Mi|ady's Fashions,
But Prices Soar

That women on the mainland are
continuing their social activity as ex-
tensively as before the war and are
spending even more money on clothes
which are soaring in price, are the
conclusions reached by Miss Ruth
Jeffs, president and manager Of the
Jeffs Fashion Company, who returned
to Honolulu yesterday after an extend
ed buying trip on the mainland.
THE women Of American mlscon-
strued the presidents message calling
for economy following our entrance
into the war. For a while there was
a marked cvessation in social activity
and an attempt to save in DRESSING
said Miss Jeffs, "but now, they have
realized that 1t was not intended that
they should let their efforts to econo.
miZe interfere with the normal life Of
the country, and they have continued
as before, to keep the money circu-
lating.
The price of women's clothes has
gone up and will continue to go up
In spite of this fact, women are still
spending much money for clothes, for
theaters and social events also.
TT seems to me that the women
here have not q syet realized that tho
president did not advise a cessation Of
social activities. However, If they
follow the word Of the president they
will continue as before, in time, just
as the woman on the mainland have
done.
The styles have become simpler,
largely on account of the war. They
are quite as pretty as ever.
Miss Jeffs travelled across the Unit
ed States to New York and then came
back to- the Western coast across Can
ada. She went into all Of the large
fashion centers in search of the lat
est and the best women's furnishings.

ASSUMES ROLE
OF PEACEMAKER
Wife and Husband Split When
He Accuses Her of Burning
His Clothes

A silent session" was held in po-
lice court this morning to try and
settle the martial troubles OF the
Howell family of Kaimuki. Mrs.
Charlotte Howell, the wife, vas
charged by her husband with maliC-
ious injury because he alleged she
had torn and burned a portion of his
clothing She did not deny this, but
said she found articles in his pocket
which indicated that he was too init
mate with other women.
Judge Larnach attempted to ar
rive at some solution OF the Difficult,
y between the couple, even conunu-
ing the hearing TO the court cham
bers, but without avail, as the family
split seemed to be one that could not
be healed by words Of advice. 1t de-
veloped that Howell is suing his wife
for a divorce.
Mrs. Howell has several times at,
tempted to commit suicide by taking
poison, but has always failed, it is
reported by the police. AS she Is
scarcely out of her teens and extraor-
dinarily attractive, she drew much at
tention in court this morning as she
sat among the other women prison
ers, all hard-faced denizens or Homo
lulu's scattered underworld.
Judge Larnach decided to postpone
decision in the case, with the under
standing that Mrs. Howell remove~her
possessions from the home Of her
husband This she agreed to do. but
her husband insisted that an officer
be sent with them to preserve the
peace while this was being done

sitions at the expiration of the train
ing period o fthree months.
Il am in favor of permitting the
