Former Vice President and Former Premier Are Lead ing Mighty Hosts.
THINK COUP DEFEAT
 WILL BE FAILURE
Washington Officials Expect Republi- cans tO Defeat MOnarchiSts in China. Former Premier Takes ParticuI-
 arIy Strong Stand.

London, July 5.--Thc Picking cor respondent of the Exchange Telegraph company says that the advance of the northern and southern republican armies, under Yuan Chi Jul, the former premier, and General Feng Kwo Chang, former vice president re- spectively, has commenced. They are moving toward Picking.
 The situation, the dispatch adds, ls' considered grave.
 Believe Efforts Will Fail.
 Washington, July 5.-Belief here that the monarchial coup detat ill China is destined to failure was 1n- creased today by new items of news, both official and unofficial, which came to the attention of the state de- partment.
 Minister Reinsch reported that sev- eral of tho northern military leaders who are felt and believed to hold the country's destiny in their hands, had taken the field in opposition to Gen. Chang Hsuns attempt to destroy re- publicanism in China.
 The adhesion of many militarists to the republican ranks is interpret ed here as showing that Chang far overplayed his hand, and that the greatest gamble of his adventurous life will not succeed.
 Shanghai Invites Lii.
 Shanghai, July 5.-At conference of military and naval leaders, and other prominent men here today, a resolution was adopted in favor of the transfer of the central republi- can government to Shanghai instead of the establishment of a provisional government here.
 A telegram was sent to President Iii Yuan Hung, who took refuge in the Japanese legation on his escape from the palace following the proc lamation of restoration on the Man chu dynasty, inviting him to come to Shanghai forthwith. It is believed here that if Iii comes the situation will assume far more serious aspect.

EVERYWHERE l have found a
IL growing feeling that there
must soon come a reckoning
with these manipulators of the ma
tion's food supply. -Four classes of
men are vainly trying to postpone
that day Of reckoning.
First.-The impractical theorists
who on principle are so opposed to
any increase in the authority of the
federal government, however tenn
porary, that they would rather risk
the safety of the nation than to
sacrifice their theory on the altar of
national efficiency.
Second.-The fanatical pacifists
who are unwilling to take any steps
that will make this government into
an efficient war machine, even after
war has been thrust upon us by the
greatest and most relentless mill
tary power the world has ever seen.
Third.-Those sordid, unscrupu-

Fourth.-Tne enemy within our

who, with treason in their hearts

legislation as a pretext for A BIT

BORAH LOSES WATCH;
PRESIDENT FINDS IT
"Wear 1t on Wrist" He Advises
Senator, Who Receivers 1t
In Riding Boot.

Washington. - Senator William e.
Borah of Idaho lost his watch recently,
and President Wilson found 1t. The
senator was riding his horse In Rock
Creek park when he looked at his
watch, the present Of Coeur d'Alene
miners. Then he showed 1t into the fob
pocket of his riding breeches-or
thought he did. When some time later
he reached for the watch 1t was miss
ing. Recalling the spot where he last
had looked at 1t, he galloped back, dis
mounted and, leading his horse by the
reins, scanned the bride path.
Just then President and Mrs. Wilson,
attended by a cavalry sergeant, can
tered up the path, and the president
stopped when he saw the senator.
Lost anything, senator?' asked the
president.
"My watch" replied Borah.
The president dismounted and Joined
In the search. After ten minutes he
suggested that perhaps the senator had
missed the fob pocket and that the
watch had dropped inside his riding
breeches. Sitting down on log, the
senator pulled off his right riding boot
and found the watch.
AS the president turned to remount
he said with whimsical blandness:
"Why don't you wear wrist watch
senatOr?"

Automobile Radiators.

To assure the efficient operation and
long life of your automobile it is es-
sential that the radiator be kept clean.
Every radiator has been designed for
the purpose of dissipating some Of the
heat from the engine to prevent 1t from
Overheating The radiator can only
accomplish this, advises the Popular
Science Monthly, when the radiator
cells are cleared Of mud, so that the
comparatively cool air can circulate
through it. Yet many are the cars
which are allowed to clog up with mud
and dirt until it almost takes a ham
mer to knock them out. A good antidote
is powerful stream Of water from a
hose. or where this may not be con-
venient a stiff brush or a broom will
assist In solving the cleaning problem

When the sergeant moves of the ra-

government and the coast Indians, in
cludfng the Coos, Umpqua and Siuslaw
tribes, the remnants of those aborigineS
met at Empire and sat in council to
consider the settlement of their claims
against the United States government.
The council was called to provide
chief for the Indians of the tribes men

Burns, who was a Coos, having died
five or six years ago. Until the at
tempt by George Wasson, a Coos de-
scendant and graduate of Carlisle,
to secure for the coastal tribes set
tlement of their claims, there has been
no apparent reason for chief, for the
remnants Of the tribes were scattered
and without concentration.
When the treaty of Empire was dug

interior congressman who were fair

The Niaht Table.

The night table is not as well known
in bedroom lore as 1t might be, think.
1t is such a comfort to be able after
going to bed to read by the light on
the night table and to be able to
stretch out hand at midnight and
switch this same light on. On the
night table may be kept any of the lit
tie things which might in any possi-
bility be needed during the night-a
light, clock, carafe of drinking wa
ter, a book for chance wakeful hour.
