OPPOSITION DEVELOPING IN CHINA TO RETURN TO MONARCHY Many MiIitarists Are Adhering to the
 Republican Ranks.

Washington. July 5.-BeEef here that the monarchica1 coup d etat in China is destined to failure was increased today by each item of news both ofh- ciaI and unofficial which came to the attention of the state department Minister Reinsch reported that at least some of the northern military leaders who are felt to hold the coun- try's destiny in their hands have taken the field in opposition to General Chang Hsuns attempt to destroy re- publicaniSm in China.
 News of the creation of an emer- gency republican government at Nan king, headed by some of the strongest men of China, with reports of active military preparations to bes1ege the nronarchists in Picking, was received with keen interest.
 The adhesion of many militarists to the republican ranks is interpreted here as showing that Chang far over played his hand and that the greatest gamble of his adventurous life will not
 succeed. Nevertheless, fear is felt that
 he will make an active resistance with
 his considerable military forces and that an attack by the republicans and
 possibly serious damage to Picking may follow. Chang probably could
 maintain himself for some time be-
 hind the Picking walls. especially as
 artillery is lacking in China. A com
 promise is rendered doubtful by execu-
 tions, particularly that of Prince Pu
 Lun who, though a Manchu and a
 cousin of the restored emperor, has
 been an ardent republican and pro-
 gressiVe.
 The action of Tuan Chi Jui in ac-
 cepting his former post as premier
 under instructions from President Ii from his asylum in the Japanese em-
 bassy at Peking, has strengthened faith in the ultimate success of the republic.
 Yuan has been one of the republics strongest men, with influence among the military party. On the other hand. the Imprisonment by Chang of Wang Shin Chen, formerly republican mem
 Der of war and appointed to a siIni- lar post in the monarchical cabinet confirmed the belief existing here that Chang had appointed many men to office in his cabinet who had neither accepted nor been consulted. The i'm perialists had claimed the support of Feng Gwo Chang, who is in actuality acting president of the republic a Chang Hsun has taken control of the telegraph wires from Picking. Dr. " K. Wellington Roo, the Chinese minis ter. called at the state department to- day, but had no information farther than the pro-monarchical reports sent out by Chang's leaders.

an immense throng, estimated at be-
tween 1000 and 5000 people, thus
showing that the people of Minot and
surrounding country liked the idea.
The Park Board had requested the
superintendent of the parks, w. O..
Doolittle, to build a permanent stand
for series Of concerts to be held at
the park, and while the stand was not
quite completed there was room for
the large chorus that gathered at the
park Sunday afternoon. Ultimately
there will be room for chorus Of at
least $50 people.
The program for last Sunday was a
combination ow old familiar songs and
the patriotic songs that everybody
should know, and they were rendered
by the large chorus in mastery
manner. The next concert will be held
at Riverside Park in the very near fu-
ture. Watch the Minot papers for full
announcement.
Not the least enjoyable feature of
the afternoons entertainment was the
splendid address of Rev. Clifford, pas
tor Of the Methodist church Of this
city. Mr.. Clifford was in fine voice,
and all the people attending the con-
cert were able to hear every word he
uttered. He commended that the pres
ent war was war for democracy, and
as such was in line with the previous
wars in which the United States had
been engaged. He sounded the key
note, when he said that all men and
corporations who used the present
war as cause to raise the prices of
food should be branded as traitors to
the country and treated as such.
Withal the address was opportune and
in keeping with the object Of the af-
ternoon's entertainment.
The Community Life committee will
have something different to offer the
public within few weeks, using the
park. as the place for the entertain
ment. 1t is hoped to have some enter
tainment at Riverside Park each and
every Sunday during the summer
months, so that the people of this city

''DAGO FRANK" UP
TO OLD TRICKS
Minot Barber Was Compelled to Re.
fund Michigan City, N. D., Man
$500 to Escape Arrest.

liver A. Moe, of Michigan City, N.
D., who came to Minot Saturday to
file on reservation land, visited Frank
Roses barber shop and asked for a
shave and a shampoo, expecting to
pay "Dago Frank" a couple Of dollors.
"Dago" saw that he had a olive one"
in his chair. After shaving Mr.. Moe,
his eagle eye detected some blackheads
and these he voluntarily removed. He
kindly applied hot and cold towels to
Michigan City mans face and out Of
the goodness of his heart presented
him small bottle of perfumed face To-
ton which he guaranteed to be YER
liable fountain of youth.
"You owe me just $780," the good
hearted barber said, after he had care
fully figured the cost Of his high
priced work, but I'll let you off for
just 500"
Moe didn't have that much money in
his jeans. He said he would have to
get check cashed. "Dago" wouldn't
take the check, but allowed his colored
porter to accompany Moe to bank,
where the money was secured. Moe
told his trouble to the police and the

torney. Rose, when he saw the jig
was up, refunded $500 and the case
was dropped.
This isn't the first time "Dago
Frank" has been in trouble for over
charging. Reports have come from
his shop frequently. Strangers have
gone away from Minot with mighty
poor opinion of the city, just because
Rose has overcharged' them. The next
time thing like this occurs, Rose
ought to be arrested and dealt with
summarily.
