 (Note-Dr Ayers has been in charge of hospitals for 16 years at Hwang-hien. North China, across the bay from Tsing Tau, the German port taken by the Japs, and has been decorated several times for Red Cross services).
 Since China has declared war on Ger many have had number of my friends ask me two questions:
 l. What Is the condition of the Chinese republic?
 ?. What service can China render the allies?
 In answer to the first question. the Chinese republic has not only stood the assualts which have been made upon it, but the chances to establish a stable re- public seem better today than ever be- fore. O.
 The first effort to overthrow the repub- lie was made by Yuan Shi-Kai, the man who has long been regarded as the man with the biggest brain and the most as- tuteness as a diplomat of all the Chi nese. His effort to make himself Elm peror was made at time when he was President of the republic, and at a time when he was head of the army. He was not only at the head of the army, but had the backing of some of the great army

be in Mongolia. one hundred thou
 sand dollars has been offered for his
 heart and this will doubtless bring it.
 Yuan and Chang had more power
 than any, two men in China and they
 were recognized as the great obstacles in the way of the republic. With these two men out of the way China's
 chances to establish a stable republic are definitely better than ever be- fore.
 The one great obstacle in China's
 way today, as in Russia, is the illit- eracy of her people. To overcome this and make the republic stable will re- quire time.
 l When Lee became President, Feng
 Kwoa Chang, pronounced as if spelled | Flung Gwoa John, was made vice pres l ident, and recent telegrams indicate | that President Lee has resigned and
 that Flung Is now President. So II is now President Flung He is one of
 Chinas strongest men and has the {, confidence of the people. He is man
 of deep learning and is greater
 statesman than Lee, but is not loved l by the people as is Lee.
 i What service can China render the i allies?
 She can furnisfe hundreds of thousands of laborers to go to France and England I make roads, to cultivate the land and l raise grain, and perform such other duties 1 as are needed to make it possible for other men to enter the army. But will 1 they go? Emphatically yes. When l left China last April they were then going to France by the tens of thousands. | Now, with China as one of the allies, the number to go will be limited only by the 1 capacity of boats to take them.
 | China has also several regiments of
 soldiers as well trained and equipped as ] any in this country. If sent, they could ] do good service. But the great service | she will render will be with her laborers,
 and keeping Germans out of China. | The Germans used tens of thousands of l dollars in propaganda ito keep China out | of the war. She published a weekly pa- per in Shanghai, both in English and Chinese, which she scattered broadcast over China. She subsidized a daily news paper in Picking. She employed agents | in every section to present Germany S
 side of the great war. She did all in
 her power to influence public opinion in an effort to make China her friend. But when America severed relations with l Germany, the Germans lost all their in- | fluence with the Chinese. The next morn ling after the news had reached China that America had broken relations with Germany, the Chinese press came out and

 leaders in his desire to be crowned Elm peror. The first great obstacle he met was in Vice President Lee-L Yuan Hung' who stated that he had sworn to uphold the republic, and that he would keep this oath as long as he was permitted to live There was great difference in the way he regarded his oath and the way Prcsl- dent Yuan regarded the oath he had taken to uphold the republic. This was in keeping with the records of the tive men. President Yuan had never failed tc resort to any means which would pro mote his advancement Vice President Lee has a record for unselishness and of being trrs te hia principles and his friends. President Yuan used every means to have Vice President Lee joir him in h.s efforts te re-establish tho monarchy With Yuan as Emperor. Les was offered the highest position in the gift of the Emperor, Failing to reacf him with the offer of position and money he then was threatened, and for more than a month the people expected daily to hear of his death. In this effort Yuan had the great disappointment of his life He failed to get the support of the vice president. Te army failed to rally tt him as he expected. The people arose in every section and denounced him as traitor and pledged their support te uphold the republic. He recognized his defeat He lost face for the first time in his life. There remained nothing fol him to do but to die and this he did
 The death of President Yuan gave to Vice President Lee the office of President. The friends of the republic rejoiced to know that at last they had at the head of the government man who was honest and faithful There was one man in power who would not give up the hope of res-established monarchy. This man was General John spelled by the Romanized method Chang-Genera1 Chang Hsun. He had a regiment of 40.000 soldiers These were robbers, thieves and cutthroats before joining the army and did not change after becoming soldiers. John was recognized as the Villa of China. A bold, draedevil rebel. No other man would have marched into Picking and made the President a prisoner and put the young Emperor on the throne. He, like Yuan, expected the army to stand by him. In this he was disap- pointed. His army was put to rout and he and the young Emperor fled to save their lives. He Is thought now to

 German and Austrian shipping now interned estimated roughly at 40,000 tons. will be conhscated. All the offices of the Deutsche Asiatische bank have been sealed up and foreign bankers in con junctioin with Chinese officials have been instructed to liquidate it's affairs. !"
 May America and China ever remain friends and may the two republics be drawn closer together.

declared in favor of following in the foot steps of their friend, America. This the government did. She severed her rela- tions, gave passports to German officials, dismissed Germans in employ of the Chinese government and took charge of all German boats in Chinese waters. And now she again follows America and joins the allies.
 In this connection a recent dispatch from Peking says that Chinas entry into the war is valuable in inflicting dam aging blow to Germany's position, as fol- lows

SO Wheat and SO Coal

By government regulation the price OF
wheat on the farm was reduced from 81
to 50, and at about the same txne the
price Of bituminous coal at the mine
was cut from more than So to a tri7e
above 50.
Some farmers, principally those in the
zrring wheat Sactinnz- nhera- n--ns.-e=Ar-
were harvested, protest against the fixed
price. They asked for So wheat This
the food administration refused 10 CON
cede There is a possibility that next
years crop may be less because the price
doesn't meet with the growers expecta4
tons We hope this viii not be so. We
BELIEVE il will NOT be, for we place
much faith in the patriotism and loyalty
of the millions of farmers. But if it were
true, the government would be helpless
Take on the other hand the coal mine
operators They talk Of lessened produc-
ton and demand So per ton price But
there is little real terror in their threats.
and there is no dire cause for alarm in
any talk about curtailing the production.
Thc reason is this:
The government. can take over the
mines and double or treble the production
if necessary!
II cannot. however, do that with the
nations wheat fields.
