China CABLE SILENT;
NO news FOR DAYS
State Department Concerned Over In
terruption Of Communication.

Grave concern over conditions in China
was manifested at the State Depart
ment last night when it was announced
that for three days the Department has
been without dispatches from Minister
Paul Reinsch at Pekin.
The Department was unable to assign
any reason for the interruption in cable
communication. but there was renewel
reports of German commerce raiders op-
eating in the Pacific Ii was stated that
the China cable had been either cut oil
had developed some strange trouble about
100 miles west of Guam.
All efforts of the United States in China
have been directed toward keeping the
great Mongolian republic out of the
present world war. and recent reports
from Pekin have been disquieting. II
has been reported that pro-Japancse Off
Cials high in the Chinese government
have sought to throw the new Chinese
republic into the ranks of the Entente
allies. 1t has been understood that this
would result in the reorganization OF the
Chinese army under japanese officers
This possibility aroused grave concern
among American officials, who saw in
II another japanese step toward con.
trolling China. and another move toward
closing the "open door" in China.
The State Department is extremely
anxious for word from Minister Reinsch
" hose latest dispatches. it was under
stood last night bore on the question
OF China's neutrality.

when it comes to pageantry there will
not be much to the bottle brigade. but
there are promises that there may be
some fireworks.

And it all happened because the Dis
triCt became bone dry last night at IL
O'Clock. and will remain so until 7
o'clock Tuesday morning. and thus 1t
comes to pass that this city will have q
foretaste of the Sheppard prohibition bill.
Senators Morris Sheppard, Of Texas,
and James A. Reed. of Kansas City, and
others who lined up with the "drys."
will have the satisfaction of explaining
to their constituents who are visiting
here just what 1t is all about.
No doubt many of these constituents
will be very much inconvenenced
Last night the location OF the nearest
saloon was far more important to many
incoming visitors than where they could
get accommodations. Only the late-com-
ers and the uniformed will therefore BE-
dry over Inauguration Day.
When 1t comes to drinking before Tues
day morning some very stringent police
regulations which prohibit the drink
ing of any kind of alcoholic beverage
including near-beer on any government
reservation or on any street. avenue or
alley must be observed
Coppers who have been so rash as to
arrest any one during the past forty

that the time is ripe to make war on

These were the thoughts which immedi-

the outskirts OF the city Friday night
when they were startled from their peace
full sumbers by innumerable strange
cracking sounds and sharp flashes OF
light.
The sounds resembled those made by
high powered wireless when in sharp ac-

given off by flash signals. But after all

PARADE PERISCOPES
HERE FOR INAUGURAL
Invention i'll Enable Short Persons to
View Pageant.


The parade periscope" hit Washington
today.
Right out OF the submarine zone and
the trenches of northern France a young
Washington professor has lifted an idea
that Is going to make 1t possible for any
one-no matter how small in stature or
how far back from the curb-to see the
great parade Monday.
It's an honest-to-G goodness periscope,
exactly like the ones the war has de-
veloped.
In the trenches soldiers, when the"
want to see what is going ON in front
and know that 1t Is sure death TO stick
up a head. simply raise A periscope and
survey the entire landscape with the
top OF their head inches below the top
OF the trench.
The little man. or perhaps the big man.
who gets jammed in the crowds tomor-
row about fifteen rows back from the
curb with nothing hut hats and heads
in front of him. can hoist his parade
periscope.' clamp his best eye to the
keyhole and sweep the parade for blocks
with his gaze.
And It is no bother at all to carry one
of the things about.
The periscope is a hollow metal tube
/ fourteen lncnes long ana Two INCHES H.
diameter. In each end of the tube ars
small mirrors. set at an angle of forty
five degrees and facing each other. A
hole is cut into the tube opposite each
mirror. on reverse sides of the tube.
The eyehole is about as large as n
quarter and the peephole at the top as
large as half-dollar.
The arc Of vision, via the periscopc.
is practically as large with the naked
eye, and by slightly twisting the peris-
cope in one direction or the other it is
possible without turning the head to look
straight down or up the Avenue.
