Peking, July 6.-Fighting between the troops of the Republic and the Empire of China began yester- day at Lang Fang, 35 miles south east of Picking. The Imperial troops were in command of General Chang Hsun, staunch supporter of the monarchy.
 A Republican force consisting of fifty thousand soldiers are con verging on Picking, and the attempt made to restore the ManchW dynasty appears to be a failure.

A Fourth Without Fireworks

There is much to be said in favor Of Fire
Commissioner Adamson's plan to have the
country celebrate the coming Fourth Of
July without fireworks. The idea of the
safe and sane Fourth has made great head
way in recent years, with a consequent
lessening Of blowing off of fingers and
cases of lockiaw. This year OF all years
there should be no need for the burning
of gunpowder in honor Of past perform
ances of the nation or to stimulate pa
triotism.
Aside from the fact that relaxing of
restrictions around the sale Of explosives
might give opportunity for those whom
Mayor Mitchell called exceptional cases Of
malign influence and malicious purpose"
to do damage, there is the element Of
waste. The labor and materials which
would go into fireworks might much better
20 into ammunition for the use of this coun-
try and its allies against the common
enemy. A Fourth without fireworks would
lessen the fire risk, protect the youth of
the land, whose services may be greatly
needed in agriculture, minimize oppOrtu-
rity for alien plots and save money and
gunpowder to use in a better way. 1t is
to be hoped all the cities Of the country
will adopt Mr.. Adamson's plan.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-04-29
Relocate These Tracks

Ii is to be hoped the Assembly will fol-
low the Senates example and pass the
Ottinger bill for the relocation Of the
street railway tracks in Central Park
West. This measure is now far different
from the form in which it was first pre-
scented. 1t contains no menace to Central
Park. since it contemplates the relocation
Of the tracks on the west side of the ave-
nue.. decreasing the width of the wide side"
walk there to fifteen feet to give the
needed space.
As they are at present, the car tracks
are inconvenieutly placed, and constitute
q distinct menace. No houses are on the
side Of the avenue on which they are, con-
seouently few pedestrians use the side
walk there. The result is that persons
wishing to board either north or south
bound cars have to cross the entire width
of the avenue. stemming tide Of traffic
ALWAYS brisk. with automobiles letting out
their speed. Considering the hazards, 1t
is wonder there are 80 few accidents.
The relocation Of the tracks on the west
side of the stree. will make the cars OF
the Eighth Avenue line more ca. lily &C
cessible and will lessen the present dan
ger materially. The ill Is now sound
one and ought to become law.
