CHINA AROUSED WILL
INTERNE HUN SUSPECTS
thy Associated Pre.s0

PEKING, Oct. 16.-German plots
TO promote internal trouble in China
are being disclosed almost daily. The
situation is serious. China will un-
doubtedly find it necessary TO intern
many Germans and Austrians. The
allied ministers are extremely un-
easy over the situation,
China offered fine field for Ger
man plots because of inadequate com
munication. For many years Ger
mans have carried on commercial un-
dertakings in interior China, speak
the language fluently and have great
influence over the lower classes.
Through the Teuton legations in
Peking those agents have been sup
piled money to create dissension.
They have aroused Mohammedans in
Western China, telling them that this
religious war was designed to elm.
mate Turkey and Mohammedanism.
They have been able to harrass the
trans-Siberian line in Mongolia by
encouraging the Mongolians to move
north into Siberia and Manchuria
and attack railway towns.

control or supervision of the Balkans

paper, Mir, in long editorial, which
says in part:
"Of all the belligerents the Ameri-
cans alone are in position 10 form
true appreciation of the situation
in the Balkans, They are disinterest
ed and well acquainted with local
conditions, and are in a position to
give everybody his due. Having such
knowledge of the Balkan peninsula,
they ought to have the moral will
to exert their authority on their allies
in the interests of justice and dem
oeracy in the Balkans.
I'VE do not ask that America
should take our side and that she
should protect us. We desire that
she should take the defense of OPP
pressed rights in our countries, and
that she should become an impartial
Judge between us and her allies.
/ We desire that she should create a
situation in the Balkans which will
be in agreement with the principle
of national unification, international
justice and true democracy. We
would like to see the United States
exerting her moral influence not
only where her material interests
are affected, but also where moral
truth and sacred justice call out to
that country. Devastated Macedonia
cries for justice to all the world.
Can America remain a silent witness
when other countries are endeayor-

The German forces which landed
on the island of Oesel at the head of
the Gulf of Riga have captured Aren-
burg, capital of the island, and are
still pursuing the Russians at vari-
GUS places. Aiding the operations
as far as possible are German cruis-

shelled coast batteries and towns.
Attempts by the German fleet to en-

in the waters between Osel and Dago

resistance from the Russian land bat

the latter region the Germans de-

GOVERNOR UPHOLDS
THE PUBLICITY ACT
Continued from front page)

Continued from front page)
circulation Of the newspapers is
not made mandatory upon the
board, but simply optional. If
the members of this board were
disposed to play politics the
awards might be made without
reference to the circulation of
the papers, or without reference
to the lowest bidder under the
optional plan.
''The letting of contracts of
this kind by competitive bids
might result in the elimination
of one, or more than one, Of the
large newspapers in every county
in the state, the printing going to
newspapers of negligible circula-
ton. The intent of the publicity
feature is to give publicity to
these measures, on which every
voter should be informed. I'm
der this measure it might happen
that the publicity IN the newspa-
pers would amountto no more than
the publicity under the old sys-
tenn, when notices were posted
on the courthouse doors. Pub
licity is the very Gibraltar of the
initiative and referendum, and is
the only agency we have for re-
call in Arkansas. Without full
publicity through the newspapers
and through discussions and eX-
plantations, by public men and
women, the law, which should
always safeguard the rights of
the people, might become a
menace.
This measure gives the State
Printing Board the right to take
cognizance of circulation, but
that feature of the law is not
mandatory upon the board,
which, in my humble opinion, is
a very serious defect.
Competitive Bid Wrong Principle.
Furthermore, the competitive
bids for awarding state printing
is wrong in principle. If the
rate is too high it should be low
cred by amending the enabling
clause of the publicity act. If
bids for state printing are to be
received and awarded to the low
est bidder in each county, news
papers will spring up like mush-
rooms over night. And thus, the
legitimate newspapers, which for
years have rendered the state
and their counties signal service,
are not given that degree of rec
