Associated PreSS)


 ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 22.-Henry P. Davidson, chairman of the war council of the American Red Cross Society, in a speech here tonight in the interests of the Red Cross work declared that the $100,OO0,0 900 raised last summer by popular subscription among the American people will be exhausted before the coming of next spring. Despite the steady pouring in of funds from regular sources, the coffers of the American Red Cross Society are steadily diminish ing under the pressure of enormous demands made on it from all quar- ters. The society is doing vast work in every field, and especially in France These activities will be greatly extended as the number of American troops in France increas- es. and more and more money will be necessary.
 In order to meet the demands and requirements of the occasion, Chairman Davidson declared that it would be necessary for the people of America to be prepared to make even larger contributions to the Red Cross cause in the near future. A campaign for increased subscriptions is expected to be opened shortly af- ter the first of the coming year.

Public Institutions
OF City Yield Poor
Crop Of Soldiers

New York City's eight penal and cor
receive institutions and thirteen hos
pitaIs. asylums ana homes" for in
valids and paupcrs yielded a poor SOL
dier crop. Out Of more than 1900
registrations i'm the penal institutions
no more than or . per cent oil the
men Of CONSUMPTION age were found to
be TT for military service.
City Clerk Scully appointed the SUI
perintcndent Of each city institution
chief registrar, and the returns which
came in last night showed that the ma
iority of men Of Consumption age are
human wrecks.
One of the penal institutions. the
Workhouse, on Blackwel.s Island,
ranked zero. All the inmates were
found to be used up in the battle with
life during times of peace and pros.
perity, so that not single man could
measure up TO the physical standards
required for military service.
Burdette G.. Lewis, Commissioner OF
Correction. had taken the precaution of
ordering his registration cards and
other blanks long before registration
day. Mr. Lewis shrewdly concluded
that all the men in his charge came
under the general classification of those
who would not be at home on registra-
ton day, and were therefore entitled to
register in advance.
The result showed that about 10 per
cent Of the prisoners in the peniten-
tiary on Blackwell's Island wer. fit for
service. The inmates range in age be-
tween sixteen and sixty, the average
being about twenty-seven.

Rebellion Is a Coup by
Men Who Aided Yuan
By GARDNER L. HARDING

There is no question but that the
present rebellion in China, ! dramatic
reactionary coup by the friends and
comrades Of the late Yuan Shih-Kai,
puts President Ii Yuan-hung's govern
ment in desperate straits.
For months he has had feud with
these northern military leaders over
every appointment 20 the Cabinet, over
every act of the Administration. lie
chose to break that feud ten days ago
by dismissing Premier Tuan Chi-jui,
Yuan's trusted lieutenant and the
leader of the military party of con-
servativc China. Parliament was then,
and is still, solidly behind him; so was
South China, so was large part OF
Central China and liberal opinion IN
the north. In the rapid mobilization
Of the military factions TO the support
of their leader these less mobile and
aggressive factors which support the
President have been left far behind.
Ii is to-day surrounded by his enc
mics; his own guard is composed OF
Tuan's soldiers. The Mukden, Tient-
sin, Marking ard Hankow arteries Of
connection with the capital are cut.
The speed with which the northern
generals have moved discloses long
pre- DdfdtlOU, ana IL SHOWS dlop tHht
their recent meetings in Peking as a
military conference had the specific OBJ
ject Of taking some such chance as
this. In domestic politics, their rea-
sors for action are obvious. Ever
since the downfall and death of Yuan
they have plotted to overthrow the
liberal regime under Ii Yuan-hung,
which succeeded him. Liberalism in
China means first and foremost the
control Of the armies by the central
government This, as feudal chiefs
controlling politics by personal armies,
they will oppose as bitterly as the
Manchus opposed the revolution.
Ii showed superb courage in chal-
longing them instead of waiting for
the rising which was sure TO come
sooner or later. for all that his courage
may cost him his office and his career.
The issue was unavoidable, and the
world cannot miss the fact that IT IS
the northern generals, not the southern
radicals, who this time are rebels
against authority.

So far as could be learned tonight
the "Frankfurter Zeitung' has no cor
respondent in New York at present.
A former representative of the paper
in this city said last night that he
had filed no dispatches in several
weeks. German newspapermen ex-
pressed the belief that the Frankfort
paper clips dispatches from neutral
papers and dates them at their point
of origin.

Heavy Rush to
Register in Jersey;
Little Disorder

Trenton. June 5.-From nearly every
city and town in New Jersey came re-
ports tonight Of quiet and orderly
registration. If agitators or anti-con-
scriptionists were abroad. they kept
themselves strictly within the la" ana
very few arrests were made.
From most Of the important Jersey
points it was reported that the regls-
iration had exceeded expectations. 30
heavy was the rush to register IN
Newark that the authorities feared
the supply or registration cards would
be exhausted. Early in the dav a
telegram was sent TO Washington. m
response to which 10000 additional
cards arrived.
In this city the registration also
was unexpectedly heavy and the gen,
eral sentiment seemed one OF cheerful
compliance with the law. The United
States Marshars Office here was IN
readiness throughout the day to help
duell Immediately any disturbances ana
was i'm constant touch with all sec
tions Of the state, but no reports OF
serious trouble were received.
Atlantic City reported heavy and en-
tblsiastic registration. Throughout
the dav automobiles sped about the
city, bearing buglers blowing call to
arms TO arouse young men to their
duty. Tonight Samuel Gompers was
the principal speaker at patriotic
mass meeting on the Million Dollar
Pier.
Among the few reports Of arrests was
one from Hoboken, regarding the SEIZURE
of Otto Schroeder, thirty-liye years
old. a native of Germany, who is held
on charge of treason. lie Is. accused
of distributing handbills attacking the
conscription law, almost in front OF the
Hoboken City Hall. II required eight
policemen to protect Schroeder from IN
Jury at the hands of men waiting TO
register. The draft registration in Ho-
boken was nearly double what had been
expected.
it had been feared by some that the
registration authorities IN Bayonne
would have trouble with the foreign
element, but this did not prove the case:
The registration was accomplished
thoroughly and quietly. The authorities
/ in Hackensack kept a close watch on
the socialistic element centring in
/ Ridgefield Park. but no trouble de-
veloped. Jersey City, Plaintield, Patcr-
son. New Brunswick and other points
reported quiet and orderly registration.
Religious services in connection with
registration were held in several New
/ ark churches. Eight thousand school
children and numerous military and
T civic bodies paraded.
Six thousand registered men paraded

/ fifteen bands. The men in line were
