RESTORATION. OF MANCHU
REIGN IN CHINA DEMANDED
Overthrow Of Republic Sought by
General Chang Hsun and Other
Military Leaders.
FEARS CIVIL WAR
No Indication Received OF President
Lis Attitude, but 1t Is Expected
He Will Resist Ultimatum as Long
as There Is ANY Chance of Success.
Try Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON. July 2.-The restora-
ton OF the Manchu dynasty in China
has been demanded of President Ii by
General Chang Hsun and other mill
tary leaders. according to State De-
partmcnt advices from Minister Reinsch
to-day. Civil war in China Is feared
il tho militarists have the power be-
hind them that they seem to have.
The monarchal coup d'etat came
just at the time when peace was being
restored in China. The mlitarists,
who had set up a separate government
at Tientsin. in order TO force President
Ii to dissolve Parliament, and the
southern provinces. which had threat
cned armed resistance to such action.
had finally modified their demands and
united behind President Ii in n coali-
ton Cabinet
Minister Reinschs dispatch. dated
noon yesterday, says General Chang
Hsun. military governor of Anhwei
Province, and leader of the militarist
party. has suddenly withdraw from
the compact and sent an ultimatum
to President Ii demanding immediate
restoration Of Emperor Hsuan Tung,
whose abdication OF the Manchu throne
on February IL, 1912. ushered in the
Chinese republic. Chang Hsun was
supported by Shu Shi Chang, guardian
OF the boy Emperor, and former mem
Der of the Council Of State under the
Manchus. and by Kan Yen Wei and
other old-type statesmen.
NO INDICATION RECEIVED
OF PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE
No indication has been received Of
President Lis attitude, but as he is
strong republican and constitutionalist,
1t is expected he will resist the ulti-
matum a s long as any chance of sue
cess remains. Nor is it known how
complete is General Chang Hsun's sup
port among the military governors. 1t
is assumed. however that as he headed
the secessionist military government
at Tientsin, and as he has been bold
enough to make his demand in Peking
itself. he must have considerable con-
fidcnce.
All the southern provinces south of
the YanGtse River are expected to re-
volt in case of a Manchu restoration.
This section was the home of the orig
inal republican movement in 1911, re-
volted when Yuan Shi Kai. the first
President. tried to make himself En-
peror, and again when the present
military leaders sought TO force Presi-
dent LII TO dissolve Parliament uncon-
stitutionally.
China's entry into the war is felt here
now to be practically out Of the ques-
ton. 1t is assumed that the militarists
are strong enough at least to split
tho country.

| Those who believe the Bible Is
the word of God and has been

none can be saved in heaven ex.
oept those who comply with the
conditions laid down 80 plainly
and clearly in its pages, that man,
though a fool, shall be able to
clearly comprehend it, viz: That
whosoever believes in Christ as the
Son of God and tbs Savior OF
sinners, shall bs saved and whoever
will not believe is condemned It
does not teach anywhere that any
one may be saved by being good
or doing good, however much good
they may do, if they fail to comply
with this condition. It declares
that our best works are as filthy
rags in the sight of God, if we pa.
rade them as meritorious in His
sight.
Lastly, how would it be possible
for man to be satisfied in heaven,
il he has made no preparation in
this life fer that heaven?
Many of US fail to grasp this
truth, that all are sinners, resting
under the condemnation of God
and there is no possible chance for
heaven unless we are pardoned.
As it is impossible to secure that
pardon ourselves. we are entirely
dependent on another to obtain it

The Devils Work.

The DEVILS great wo-k in the
goth century is to produce doubts
iu the minds of man as to the in
errancy of the Bible. And he is
doing big work along this line.
Many people who claim to be
Christians are touched with these
doubts. If they do not 60 all the
way with real scoffers. they bring
themselves to believe that most of
the book is to be construed fgur
atlvely. In their estimation so
much of it is Ggurative that there
is nothing left that has any founda.
ton upon which to base saving
faith.
Billy Sunday, in recent utter
ance, setting forth those who have
missed heaven and found place
in the hot region called hell, gave
offense to a large lot of people who
find spokesman IN the person Of
Rev. John Haynes Holmes, who
endeavored to rebuke Mr.. Sunday
for his awful language.
The point that gave offense was
the declaration that it makes no
difference how good man may
be, If he cannot accept the Divin-
ity of Jesus Christ, be is surely on
the road to hell. In this utter.
ance, Billy Sunday voices the Ian.
guage of Holy writ. Now, it is
just how q man looks upon this
old book as to whether be will
take issue with the revivalist. The
rnan who does not believe the
declaration that Christ made about
himself as to being the Son of
God and therefore equal with God,
certainly has no use for the Bible
as an authentic book Of revelation
from God, and must turn the
whole thing down as fable. A
great many really do this, and just
how any man can use text from
it's pages on which to found a re.
