 0F MISS VARNEY IN MURDER CASE
Sensational Developments Expected in Examination
 Death of Woman.

Boston, Mass, July 5.-Mysteries of an unusual nature remain to be solved in the case of Miss Harriet A. Varney, described as a hospital attendant, who is to be given a preliminary hearing in court tomorrow on a charge of causing the death of Mrs. Pauline Reyes, wife of Boston real estate operator.
 Mrs. Reyes, 26 years old and a bride of only a few months, was found dead in her handsome apartment in Brook line on June 19. Death had been caused by two bullets fired through the head. A revolver was found on the floor beside the dead woman and it was at first believed to be a case of suicide.
 Subsequent investigation by the police, however, led them to discard the suicide theory. Miss Varney was connected with the case when it was learned that she had been known to members of her family and acquaint- ances as Mrs. George Reyes" Later she is said to have been identified by neighbors of the slain Mrs. Reyes as un unknown woman who had called at their home ten days before the all leged murder and inquired for min ute description of Mrs. Reyes.

Clash Is Imminent.

Tien-Tsin, July 5.--A military clash in China is imminent. The troops of Pekin are showing signs of opposi- tion to General Chang Hsun's dictator ship under the guise of a monarchy. At the same time the troops of Tsao Kun, military governor of the prov ince of Chilli, are mobilizing and pre- pairing to proceed to Picking.
 Tsao Runs action followed an u'- timatum sent to Genera. Chang Hsun. giving him 24 hours to withdraw troops from Picking. General Hsun took no notice of the demand.
 Execution and Imprisonment of prominent officials have resulted from the disturbed state of affairs. Treachery and opposition to the Man chu restoration are given as reasons for this action. Among those impris oned are Wang Shi-Chen, minister of war, under the republic. The execu- tions already number nine, the most prominent being Prince Pu Lung, chairman of the council of state.
 A provisional government has been established at Nankine capital of the Province of King Su. BNon Fling Kwo Chang, ex-president O. the national assembly, was named president; Lut Mung Tio, vice-president, and Yuan Chi Jui, premier.

Fl Paso, July 5.-Since the pro- all campaign in Mexico was first started by Ell Universe in Mexico City, the sentiment favoring the al' lies has reachet northern Mexico, anti during the past 30 days well de- fined movement favoring an open break with Germany on the side of th2 entente allies has developed.

Prussian War Minister Tells Reichstag Gen. Haig
 Is Making Preparations.
TALK OF SHORTAGE
 OF WINTER FUEL
Government Is Criticised By Socialist Members For Inefficient Measures For Dealing With Problem of
 Providing Food For People.

Copenhagen, July 5.-Lfeutenant General von Stein, Prussian minister of war and state, told a committee of the German reichsiag yesterday, according to dispatches reaching here, that further British offensive was expected north of Arras. where General Haig apparently is prepar- ing action on a large scale.
 The minister said that the aban- donment of the Saloniki campaign was improbable, but he regarded the Italian offensive on the Isonzo and in the Tyrol as shattered. His views on the Russian offensive are unre- ported if expressed.
 Fuel For Winter.
 The Social organ, VortWaertz, in it's report of the proceedings. says Herr Eberts, the Socialist, devoted considerable attention to the unsatis- the people and the prospects of an inadequate supply of fuel for the fourth war winter which the Ger mans probably will be called on to face.
 Herr Erzberger, the clerical leader, and Herr von Payer, Radical, supp ported Herr Ebert's view of condi tions, and criticised the government inefficient measures for dealing with. the problem.
 Peace Discussed. Representatives of various parties expressed different views on the l peace question. which was also dis cussed by the committee. Herr Ebert said the government could have peace ] this summer if it would only offer peace without annexation and indem- mites to all opponents and abandon 1 separate overtures to Russia. Herr von Payer said that further peace proffers were harmful and tend to defeat the German object. The only thing to do, he said, was to hold out, meantime bolstering public sem timent by immediately beginning tho l work of democratizing the country.

 It has been announced the drawiJfs will be held in Washington and it Is expected a statement covering the method to be followed will be made tomorrow or the next day.
 Reports current today that selec tions already had been made probably arose from the fact that many boards had numbered their registration cards and in some cases, probably already are publishing the list s~>suuired by regulations.

 There have been reports recently that the Rumanian army, re-equipped and reformed was ready to assume the offensive, and it is probable they are to follow in the path of their Russian neighbors.
