CHINA ESPLlT
OVER ABREAK
WITH GERMANY
Entente Seeks to Bring
China Into War on
Their Side.

Washington. March S.-Peking ad-
vices to the Chinese legation here to-
day explained the recent cabinet cris-
is. which eliminated in the resigna-
ton Of Premier Tuan Chi Jul and his
cabinet. and his withdrawal to Tien
Tsin. as constitutional controversy
which would have no ultimate effect
on the country's policy as to sevsring
relations with Germany.
The cabinet has voted in favor Of
such severance in conformity with It's
threat to Germany in case the SUBJ
marine warfare were not abandoned.
but President Lii Yuan Hung has TAX
en- the ground that such a decision
rests with him only. Whether the
cabinet still is in Tien Tsin or an
agreement has been reached 10 not
known here.
No further details have been receiv-
cd as to the efforts Of the entente gov
ernments to bring China into the war,
but added confirmation of the move-
ment has been received, and 1t 10
known that the subject is under dis
cussion between Peking and the vari-
Gus entente capitals.
Diplomats here say China has been
offered the postponement, not the re-
mission, of the Boxer indemnity and
the adhesion Of the entente govern
ments to an increase from five per
cent to 10 per cent in the Chinese
customs duties.
People Are for War.
Peking. March 6.-(Delayed)-
immediate breaking off Of relations
with Germany is expected here, and
it is generally. predicted that China
will join the entente.
This belief Is due to the fact that
dispatches from Tien Tsin say that
Tuan Chi Jul. who resigned March 4
and left for Tien Tsin, has decided
to return to the capital Immediately
and resume the premiership. It is
said that President Ii Yuan Hung has
agreed to give the cabinet full power
to frame the foreign policy.
The cabinet is known to favor the
severing Of relations with Germany,
and parliament is showing DISPOSE
ton to follow the leadership of Tuan
Chi Jul rather than that Of the pres
ident.
A dispatch from Peking. March a..
said the cabinet had decided to join
the United States in severinR diplo-
matte relations with Germany, but
that the president refused to approve
Of such action.

FISHERMEN ARE
HEROES OF WAR
French Herring Fishers Have
Kept Prices Down to

Paris. March s.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press) ).-The her
ring fishermen are counted high up
among war heroes by the housewives
of Paris. Braving submarines men,
aces in the most dangerous zone, they
have caught enough herring this sea-
son to drive the smoked variety down
from three and one-half cents to two
cents pound: 1t enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the only provision that

The mysterious migration Of the
herring brings 1t In immense shoals

with the pronouncement OF the gov
ernment, and after stating that any
part of Ireland that wanted home
rule could have 1t, suggested two al
ternatives for the settlement OF the
differences between the Irish fac
men, and the other was the setting
up Of a commission Of inquiry to re-
port to the government and parlia-
ment.
Asquith Makes Plea.
Mr.. Lloyd George was continually
interrupted, and as he proceeded was
greeted with angry jeers from the Ma
tionalfsts, who accused him OF desert
Ing home rule. In conclusion he Of
fered an amendment to the National
list resolution to the effect that con-
viction that this house would welcome
any settlement which would produce
land and the rest of the United King
dom, but considers it impossible to
impose by force on any section of Ire
land form of government which
has not their consent.
AS the premier sat down. EXPIRE
mier Asquith arose and began a con-
ciliatory speech. He pointed out the
vocated a compromise. He suggested
that the ministers Of the dominions
who are in England should be called
on to act as mediators and report to
parliament.
Retlmond's Bolt.
John Redmond. the Nationalist
leader, Immediately took the floor
and declared in no uncertain terms
that he would have nothing to do with
lowers, he said, had been fooled once
before. After a brief speech he with
drew from the house with his adher-
ents and the Nationalists went into
conference. The only result of this
meeting made known was that the
Nationalists voted approval of Mr..
Redmond's action.
lists has been arranged for tomorrow
and the deepest interest attaches TO
this, as there are many who still
feel, in view of the statements Of the
premier and Mr.. Asquith concerning
possible settlement, that an early
opportunity should be taken to sub
nit proposals in a more concise form
for the consideration OF the parties
concerned.
"Play-Acting," Says Tim Healy.
Timothy Healy, who did not follow
Mr.. Redmond's lead In quitting the
house. sarcastically predicted in the
course of speech late tonight, that
"Mr. Redmond. who made such dra-
matte skedaddle from the house, will
return with his tail between his legs"
He also declared that the Irish peo-
pie would "be able to take the meas
ure of this pre-arranged play-act-
ing"
From the day the home rule bill
was introduced, in 1912. Mr.. Healy
said. he had never known Mr.. Red
mond to hold out the hand Of friend
ship to the Conservative party. On
the contrary, he had tabooed every
suggestion the Conservatives had
made for an agreement. Mr.. Healy
charged that Mr.. Redmond had de-
liberately upset the Nationalist party
and thereby created Sim Fetnism.

home RULE IS
]: AGAIN issue
IN ENGLAND
Bobs Up in House of Commons
and Results in Bolt by
: John Redmond.

London, March S.-The presenta-
ton by the Irish Nationalists in the
house of commons last evening Of q
application Of the home rule statute
to ireland precipitated one of the
most bitter sessions in months. and
threw the home rule question back
into its old position OF uncertainty.
The resolution forced the govern
ment into a declaration of policy to-
ward self-government. namely. that
any part of Ireland that wished home
rule could have it, but that no coer-
cion would be employed to compel Ul-
ster to accept. At the same time, the
proposal drew from the Obstetrics the
ultimatum that they would not ac-
cept, which, coupled with the gov
ernment's announcement. effectually
crushed all hopes for a speedy settle
ment.
The Nationalists tonight, headed by
their leader, John Redmond, were in
conference. having withdrawn in q
body from the house Of commons. and
Mr.. Lloyd George was facing his first
embarrassing situation since he as
sumed the premiership.
Call Premier 'aTurncoat."
For more than an hour before the
Nationalists left the house the pre-
mier had faced whirlwind of angry
ter, which at times forced him to
take his seat because he could not
make himself heard. He was called
q "turncoat" on the home rule ques-
ton, and one Nationalist exclaimed:
"Hangman Carson! He is only fit
to be hangnan, not first lord Of the
admiralty"
The Nationalist resolution was in
troduced by T. P. O'Connor. who as
serted that the manner in which the
government had handled the Irish re-
people into one filled with bitter hat
red against England. He pleaded that
home rule should be put into opera
ton Immediately for the sake of Ire
land and in the interest of England.
the empire and the allies.
At ono point in his address he paid
tribute to the president Of the Unit
ed States, saying that President Will
son In his recent speeches and notes
had shown that the United States
government recognized the rights of
small nations and the principle of ma
tionality. He called attention to the
valiant service rendered by the Irish
troops at the front. and asserted that
they had enlisted with the under
standing that home rule was to be
applied to their country. In conclu-
sion he said there were only two
ways of remedy-settlement or coer-
cion. He favored settlement
Redmond Urged Compromise.
Mr.. OConnor was followed by Will
liam A. Redmond, who made an i'm
passioned plea for a compromise be-
tween the Nationalists and Unionists,
and sat down amid the applause OF
the house.
Thus far things had been running
smoothly. but Sir John Lonsdale,
speaking for the Unionists, threw a
wrench into the machinery by de-
claring that Ulster wanted nothing
to do with home rule Of this sort, and
sarcastically remarked that his sec
ton Of Ireland had furnished troop.

ENGLISH FARMERS
URGE THE USE OF
POISONED WHEAT

London, March S.-Farmers have
appealed to the government to allow
them to use poisoned wheat to de-
stroy the sparrow pest. Fifty years
ago the farmers were free to combat
the sparrow with poisoned wheat but
the practice Is now forbidden by law.
The theory was that game Of all sorts
might eat the poison Intended for the
sparrows. The farmers ask that they
be allowed to use the poison only
during December. January and Feb
ruary when these birds swarm to
their lands in search Of food.

Chicago, March 8.-Cancellation of
100000 bushels wheat have been
made by seaboard exporters lately
mainly by Fahey Of Baltimore. There
was also some corn and oats cancelled
by Chicago and other interests. This
action was due to inability to get cars
and authority to ship and in a few
instances to the withdrawal Of the
neutral ocean tonnage under charter.
The latter was a most important fac
tor. In one instance charter Of oats
to Holland was changed from March
to April loading. A seaboard ex-
porter, explaining the cancellation of
purchases Of grain said it was impos-
sible to ship to Holland, Greece and
Scandinavian ports. Many of the con-
tracts for grain showed good profits
and 1t was deemed best to get out. A
heavy load Of long grains and pro-
visions have been put on the market
the last three days. The technical
position favored break after the
early bulge yesterday. It was said
while some further recession in values
was due after the big advance that
1t was not wise to follow the decline
