Toxic, June 6.-Autocracy's forces
in China apparently have triumphed,
and to-day it appears that the republic
is practically destroyed. A division OF
China into two nations seems probable.
A long struggle of militarism against
constitutionalism may be expected to

Dr.. W. willoughby, American consti-

republic. now en- route home to the
United States. thus summed up the
Chinese situation to-day:
The revolution is most serious, ne

Have Been in No Battle Yet,
but Submarines Hide When
American Craft Appear

The British Port Base of the Ameri-
can Flotilla via London. June 6.-Ihe
American destroyers have completed
their first month of active service IN
the great war. They have been favored
with excellent weather, which Is a big
factor in anti-submarine warfare Most
of the time they have had sunny SKIES
and smooth seas. with just enough
souall and storm TO put their seaman
shin to test. The favorable weather
conditions made their task of learning
the technique of anti-submarine war
fare much simpler and easier.
The American boats are assigned to
work hand in hand with the British
souadrons. being virtually assimilated
into the British naval machinery here.
4 destroyer is usually out for four or
five DAYS. and then returns to port Tor
two or three days while coallng ana
loading supplies. Thus every Amerl-
can sailor gets at least half day
shore leave practically every week.
Find Plenty TO DO
The Americans take their turn with
the British boats in all routine WORK
Of patrol and convoy. The work is in
teresting. and the Americans have
never yet found time hanging heavy on
their hands. The lookout must be con
slant and eyes must be trained to an
unbelievable degree Of keenness.
The young Americans take jealousy
to this business of finding the peri
scopic needle in the nautical haystack,
and daily reports of submarines sight
ed. of observations made, of wireless
warnings sent out, show that the Amer
lean boats are already making an aver
age of results almost as satisfactory
as the long experienced British boats
with which they are operating.
There has been no actual battle as
vet between an American destroyer and
The enemy. although several reports
show that U-boats have been sighted
and have been compelled to beat

Rev. G. c. Martindale, S. j., says
that the non-Catholic English soldier
is a close observer OF what the Cath

the Faith. Frequently requests are
made for the medals, crosses and
other religious articles that are dis
tributed in the Catholic ranks, though
the petitioners of course do not under
stand just why their brothers in arms
are SO anxious to get these remem-

Father Martindale has known con-
versions to result directly from COM
parison between the clergyman who,
before an attack, went among his own
men giving out tobacco, and the priest
who impaired absolution to the kneel-
ing rows of Catholics, between the
Presbyterian who cheered his men to
courage by the jest that even if they
didn't all come back, well-Glasgow
was overcroWded,' and the priest who
gave his men the highest courage
when he administered Holy Com
munion to them before the engage
ment, and so gave them strength and
fortitude for whatever the conflict
might bring"
