E. c. IS FINE COOK.

An unsigned postal card. recommend
ing friend of the writer for admis-

great deal of merriment at the Army
recruiting station at 7th and Pennsyl-
vania avenue northwest this morning.
The recommendation of the unknown
writer follows: "E. c. is a fine cook.
He has always been a shief cook.
Cookies for dinner and a good lot of
cooking. Cooked at Johnson Hotel.
Cooked at Manning. Cooked at Howard.
Cooked at Cape May. Cooked Ocean

a statement as to the address of the
friend.

No Loan From State.

There is no question of loan from
the state nor of a private loan. The
arrangement merely gives facilities for
payment to German clients by Swiss
exporters acting as banks. This is the
pure and simple truth. Had it been
made known Immediately. many err
roneous and dangerous interpretations
could have been avoided. The conces-
sions asked by Germany are sufficiently
disagreeable without being represented
as incredible surrenders. In short,
Germany seeking in a roundabout way
to raise the price of coal. makes the fol-
lowing proposition: Switzerland either
must accept a raise in the price of coal
or compel it's merchants to open credit
to it's German clients. The entire
benefit of the transaction goes to Ger
many, though the latter officially feigns
to be disinterested. The borrowed sums
naturally will be in it's territory when
future war loans are fioated.
Furthermore the value of the mark in
foreign markets can but be favorably
affected by this transaction. If Switzer-
land refuses to grant Germany this ad-
vance she must submit to an enormous
increase in the price of the coal which
her neighbor is now selling her. To
justify this increase Germany calls at
tention to the prices of combustibles on
the international markets. When one
considers that this increase is due
mainly to the increase in freight rates

The restoration was the result of
the weakness Of President Ii Yuan
hung. He was warned that if he gave
in to Chang Hsun's demands he would
lose all power and would become a
puppet in his hands. This came to pass.

oner in the palace. His.seal was taken
away from him and his name was at
tached to documents of which he knew

MISTAKEN FOR STATE LOAN
BY RENE ARGOS.
Especial Cablegram to The Star and
Chicago Daily News.)

Copyright, 1917, by the Chicago Daily News
Company
GENEVA, Switzerland. August IL
The excitement caused by Germany's
alleged request of Switzerland for a
loan of capital on the occasion of the
renewal of the economic agreement be-
tween the two countries has not been
allayed. The newspapers of Switzer-
land, Germany and the allies discuss
the event with equal passion. Fortu-
nately for Switzerland it is incorrect
to assume that Germany demands this
loan. Germany confines herself to re-
uuesting the Swiss exporters-not the
Helvetian confederacy-to open a
credit to German buyers representing
100000 900 francs (S4.00O.000) a month
that is, one-third of the amount of the
expectations.

No Choice for the Generals.

The four generals were taken COM
pletely by surprise. Their common sense
told them that without being sure of
the support of the military such a
change could not be brought about nor
any permanency given to it. They were
fully aware that the house was sur
rounded by Gen. Chang Hsun's braves
and that if they did not agree with him
they would never be permitted to get
out of the house alive.
My informant tells me that the room
was silent for a number of minutes,
when Gen. Chang Hsun, becoming inn
patient, turned to Gen. Wang Shin
chen and. pointing his finger at him,
said: do you agree to support me or
not?"
In low voice the general gave an
answer in the affirmative. Chang Hsun
then addressed the other generals in
dividually in the same manner, and
they. realizing the hopelessness of their
situation, answered in the same man
ner. AS soon as they had given their
replies Chang Hsun said:
Since you consider that it is abso-
lutely necessary that the monarchy be
restored and have advised me to that
effect. 1t is your duty to order your
troops to take up such positions as are
necessary to preserve order in the city.
and while you are doing that will
make the final arrangements to place
the emperor on the throne again"
