ANNEXATION OF BELGIUM
ADVISED BY Won Kissing
Memorandum Written by Late Cover
nor General Of Conquered Territory
Contemplates Another War.

London, May 25.-A memorandum
written by the late General Won Bis
sing, governor general in Belgium,
which it is assumed was prepared for
submission to Emperor William, repre-
sents the possibility of a reconcilia-
ton between Germany and Belgium as
illusory and argues the absolute neces-
sity of the annexation of Belgium as a
preparation for another war against
Great Britain. The memorandum de-
clares that no treaty guarantees, how
ever strong, would prevent Belgium
from being swept into the enemy camp
and that therefore Belgium must be
conquered, the Belgian dynasty abol-
ished and the country held with an
iron hand, so as not to repeat the mis-
take made in Alsace-Lorraine and in
German-Poland in attempts at con-

WI T|NC.FANC NOW PREMIER
FORMER AMBASSADOR TOU. s. TO
FORM NEW CHINESE CABINET,
Action Expected to End Deadlock in
Parliament and Bring Declaration
Of War by China.

Pekin, May 25.--President Ii Yuan
Hung has issued mandate dismissing
Premier Tuan Chi Jul from Office and
naming DR.. WI Ting-fang and empow-
ering him to form a new cabinet.
This action probably will end the
deadlock in parliament and make pos
sible a declaration Of war by China
against Germany.
President Stands Firm.
The provincial military governors
who were attempting to disband par
lament left Peking before the presi-
dent took action against Tuan Chi Jul,
as the president had positively. an
nounced that he would disregard their
demand for dissolution of the legis-
lative body. The president declared
parliament must not be coerced in any
way and announced his intention to
conduct the government in accordance
with the provisional constitution at
any cost.
The disgruntled military governors
probably will instigate protests in the
provinces against President Lii Yuan
Hung for his rebuke to the military
power, but the presidents firm stand
is inspiring admiration in unexpected
quarters.

RED CROSS IN BIG CAMPAIGN
PLAN TO RAISE $10OO00,000 TO

Washington, May 26.-The greatest
campaign the Red Cross ever has

to lend a helping hand to thousands in
the districts already devastated by the

was enthusiastic.
Henry P. Dawson; chairman of the
Red Cross war council, announcing
the amount to be raised, said it was
certain $100,000,000 would be required
"even to approach compliance with the
most pressing needs"

u. S. MAY SKATER PLAN
OF TEUTONS FOR PEACE
Exposure Of German Intrigue Expected,
in Forthcoming Statement by
Government.

Washington, May "a. - Americas
forthcoming statement anent the Rus
sian situation will probably blast for
all time Germany's insidious peace-at-
her-own-price propaganda.
This statement, taken with the gov
eminent refusal to give any American
passports to the German engineered
Socialist conference in Stockholm next
month, will probably serve the double
purpose of heartening Russia and of
exposing to the world a new chapter
of German intrigue.
The statement will doubtless expose
the German plans in all their cunning.
It will show that democracy cannot
succeed in the new Russia while Ho-
henzollernism continues unbridled in
Germany.
Britain and France will probably
join, too, in the American plan of re-
fusing passports to any of their sub.
jects for attending the Stockholm con-
ference. This conference, the United
States government has learned, was
engineered secretly by Germany
though ostensibly on the initiative of
Socialists themselves.

On the accession of Emperor Charles
the majority of the officials of the
previous regime were either dismissed

Resents Dominance Of Berlin.
There have been persistent reports
from mary sources that Emperor
Charles keenly resents the dominance
Of Berlin in Austro-Hungarian affairs
and that Count Tisza was the one
great obstacle which prevented him
from freeing his empire from the in

There have been several reports re-

was imminent, but the rigid censor

Political Truce Ended.
At the outbreak Of the war a truce
was declared between the political par

Count Apponyi, leader of the liberals
and strong opponent of the Pan

Ardmore, Okla, May Is. 49, Three
men were killed when they attempted
to rob the bank at Tuskahoma, Okla.
No citizens were hurt.
A. H. Palmer, cashier of the bank,
received telephone advices from HUI

toward Tuskahoma. He Immediately
began distributing arms and ammuni-

Tying their horses on a little knoll
behind the bank, the bandits entered
the building, and covering the en-

sight. When they reached the door
Palmer started firing.
The leader of the gang dropped to
the floor dead, another stumbled
through the door and fell to the side
walk in front of the building. The
third robber started up the hill, but
was dropped before he reached his
horse.

Not alone were the Italians success
