move to restore order in China. Great Britain is represented to have ex- pressed general agreement with Amer ica's policy but to view the situation from a slightly different angle.
 Meanwhile China is understood not to have replied to the American note, though reports indicate that 1t was "favorably received"
 The state department is not making public any of it's dispatches about the revolution, but news dispatches indi- cate that General Chang Hsun, head of the military faction, has arrived as a dictator in Peking following President Lis compliance with his demand to dis solve Parliament. Whether this means the restoration of a monarchy, as hinted at, is uncertain.
 France, also asked by this country to take action, has not formally re- piled, but it is thought unlikely that she will follow the United States now that Great Britain and Japan have re- fused to do so.

"I've Gained 15 Pounds Taking Tanlac and People

 I was just filled with malaria and would have the hardest chills any body ever had I got so bad I had to give up and for a month I couldn't do a lick of work; in fact, I was so weak I couldn't drive my horse. I had such high levers l would become delirious. I ached all over and my back hurt me all the time. I got very thin and had So poor on appetite I could hardly eat thing and what 1 did eat didn't do me any good. l have taken several bottles of Tanlac and am a well man today.
 My system has been cleared of ma laria. l haven't a pain or an ache any where about me and 1 feel good all the time. I've had no more levers and agree with me like I never had a sick day in my life and I'm just as strong as I ever was and attribute all my good health entirely to Tanlac"

PREDICTS ULTIMATE VICTORY, BUT EXPECTS A LONGER STRUGGLE
Thinks Germany Will Be Beaten, But From No h. side Help, as All Standing
 Solidly Behind the Kaiser
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington June 16.-(SpeciaL)-One or the conservative members of one of the foreign missions in the United States at the present time. is either possessed of an abundance of rueful information or he is decidedly a pessimist.
 To the correspondent of The Age-Her- aid he said today:
 '.The people of the United States are either woefully ignorant of the prodigious task confronting them in respect to the participation of this country in the Euro pean war or in knowledge of gigantic and effective preparation, their assurance makes them calmly contented'
 A sked when the war in all probability would be concluded, he dismally shook his head.
 THE PICTURE UNVEILED
 There is no may of reaching an ac- curate opinion" he answered. He added that peace could only be secured by a positive military triumph of the allies
 What of the submarine menace?" he was asked.
 'The submarine warfare of the Ger mans,'' he replied. has been up to the present time. very effective
 What of Russia?"
 "The present attitude of Russia Is cer- tainly a matter of grave doubt and ap- prehension. What that attitude will be tomorrow one cannot predict. We may entertain hope but not confidence"
 What of the German people?"
 ''Very solidly arrayed behind the Kali ser. There is no reason to believe that . revolution in Germany is imminent"
 A REVOLUTION? NO
 He entered denial to the intimation that he was unduly pessimistic.
 No" he said, T am not a pessimist I am not alarmed. On the contrary, 1 am certain that in the end our nations will not pass from the earth but in victory will be entirely restored.
 "But know conditions as they are"
 When reminded of press reports that a revolution on the part of socialists in Ger many was predicted for September this officer again shook his head
 T cannot believe it,, he said. "Of course, under the burdens and restric- tions of war, the people of Germany are restless. I do not mean all the people, but certain factions of the people. Fac tions in England, France, Italy and the United States are restless.
 But I do not believe that there will be a revolution in either of these countries.

JAPAN REFUSES ID JOIN AMERICA IN
 NOTE ID CHINA
This Is in Accordance With Action Taken by Great Britain-France to
 Follow


 Washington, June 1s.-Japan has taken action similar to Great Britain's in refusing to associate herself with the American action in asking the rival factions in China to compose their diff ferences, it was said today at the state department. No reason was given for the action of either nation, but it is assumed that neither felt that the American action would be successful.
 JAPAN RESENTFUL
 Japan is known to resent that the United States on June 4 addressed a friendly note to China asking the fac- tions to compose their differences. At aboRt the same time Great Britain, France and Japan were invited to take some steps toward the restoration of order in China
 On June 8, the first public intima- tion of Americas actual action came in a dispatch from Pekin quoting the text of the American note, given out apparently by the Chinese authorities.
 On June 9, there appeared in the Tokio Asshi not this real text but a dispatch from New York consisting of newspaper comment The Japanese were doubly disturbed, first by the seeming direct interference in China s affairs and second by the knowledge that America had already taken her action while negotiations were ap- parently still under way.

RUSSIA DEMOCRATIC

And you will see the feeling to- ward Russia with which America has entered the great war in another clause of the same address. President Wilson further declared:
 "Does not every American feel that assurance has been added to our hope for the future peace of the world by the wonderful and heartening things that have been happening within the last few weeks in Russia? Russia was known by those who knew her best to have been always in fact demo- cratic at heart in all the vital habits of her thought, in all the intimate relationships or her people that spoke their natural instinct their habitual attitde toward life.
 "'The autocracy that crowned the summit of her political structure, long as it had stood and terrible as was the reality of it's power, was not in purpose, and now 1t has been shaken off 'and the great generous Russian people have been added, in all their na- tive majesty and might, to the forces that are fighting for freedom in the world, for justice and for peace. Here is a fit partner for league of honor or
 That partnership of honor in the great struggle for human freedom the oldest of the great democracies now seeks in fraternal union with the youngest.

WHAT CAUSED
GILBERG'S SPASM

That our readers and those of the OBJ
server who are at sea over the ovheaval
in Editor Gilberg's breast or the dome
on which his hat rests, we reprint from
The Democrat of November % the arti-
Gle to which he refers but failed to re-
produce. It appears rather tame, no
doubt, after reading Mr.. Gilberg's forty
centimetcr blast. Perhaps that is why
he failed to let his readers have the rea-
son for his virtuous spasm-that it hard
ly covered the wide range of heroic and
patriotic thought he found necessary to
unload on a sympathetic audience.
Here is what caused the wreck and
ruin
"The action of the Mercer County
Liquor License Board in denying IL
cense to John Giere because he believes
the President of the United States is of
small caliber compared to Emperor
William, and the German government
prferable to that of the United States,
and then turn around and grant it to
son who undoubtedly shares the same
views, comes very near being disgust
ing performance. It's dollars to dough-
nut that the Giere family have as much
IL uOl lOl LllN
and this country now than when Giere
was shooting off his mouth in his wife's
saloon. 1t needs something more than
dose of soothing syrup to turn Prus-
sian sympathizer into an American citi-
zen, and the sooner that gets through
through the skull of officialdom the bet
ter for the country. We are willing to
admit it is little difficult to get hold of
the right kind of man to take hold of
a job to make men drunk and help lot
of men rob their families of the comforts
of life, but it would not cause Coldwster
or any other town great hardship if an
occasional license was never granted.
If there was no other recourse than
the one the board took, it would have
been better had they thrown up their

they nor the public might be fooled. ="
So they spent almost year In making
these dies and preparing otherwise for a

ton OF the many things unique In the
