That German money and intrigue
are stirring trouble anew in Mexico,
is authoritatively stated. Hundreds
of Teuton agents, availing themselves
of Mexican neutrality, are responsible
for the recurrence of fighting ana
plotting by Villa, Zapata, Pelaez and
Felix Diaz. The seriousness of the
problem for the United States lies in
the output of the Tampico and Tux
pam oilfields, which may be curtailed,
while the difficulties near the border
might ultimately divert some Of
Americas war strength from Europe.

United Press Stan Correspondent.
TOXIC, June 6.-Autocracy's forces
in China apparently have triumphed
and today il appears that the republic
is practically destroyed: A division
OF China into two nations seems prob
able.
A long struggle Of militarism against
constitutionalism may be expected 10
follow the present revolution.
Dr. W. W. Willoughby, American
constitutional advisor to the former
Chinese republic now en- route home
to the United States, thus summed up
the Chinese situation for the United
Press today.
"The revolution is most serious. -
he declared. "The republic is prac-
tically lost. I look for turmoil OF long
duration between militarism and con-
stitutionalism. The present trend is
strongly to a monarchy. The milf
tarists absolutely control the situa-
tion. And even If through a compro-
mise a new government was estab-
lished in the north OF China. chaos
would still continue throughout the
whole country, since the secession OF
the southern provinces would be most
likely.
"As it looks today. a division Of CHM
/ into two nations is probable.
"The democrats of the southern prov
inces are more active in support Of
central government than the people o
the north. The militarists object In tn
revolt is four-fold. First, abolition O
the present provisional constitution; sec
ond. retirement of ii Nuan Hung; third
/ the establishment of a new government
at Pekingi fourth, a new Parliament an'
/ a constitution.
President Ii Yuan Hung would retir

! but he considers that the masses of tn
! Chinese people expect him to defend th'
democratic principles Of the republic

regency. He feels that his declaration
Of independence would only have thl
effect of solidifying tae people for a re
! public.

American, Or. Paul Reinch. had advise,
