CHINESE BREAK
WITH GERMANY
Seizes All German Ships at
Shanghai and Puts Crews
on Shore Under Guard.
Young China Resents kaiser's Order
70 Make the Word German"
Dreaded in China for
Century.

washington. - American Minister
Reinsch at Pekin. on March IA, re-
ported to the state department that
China had severed diplomatic relations
with Germany and that the German
minister had been handed his pass.
ports.
Advlces to the navy department said
that China has taken possession of all
German merchant ships in Shanghai,
ABOUT six in number, placed their
crews on shore under guard and plac-
ed armed guards on the vessels.
China's severance of relations has
been expected here for weeks. The
action of the United States in break
ing relations was received with accla.
nation by Chinese officials and press,
particularly young China. Feeling
against Germany has run high; not
only because scores of Chinese on the
way to Europe have lost their lives
through German submarine operations.
but from the memory of the kaiser's
order to the Boxer punitive force to
make the word German" dreaded in
China for century and the seizure
by Germany of the whole province of
Shantung for the murder of two mis-
sionaries.
Seizure of the German ships may be
taken by Germany as an act of war as
in the case of Portugal. China's ac-
ton may be followed by seizure of Ger
man property in China, which is very
extensive. In addition to all the CON
cessions held by the Germans in Chi
nese cities which it is presumed will
ne seized as quasi-public property,
there are extensive private German
holdings in China. Latest figures show
there are about 1900 German civil
lians scattered throughout the republic,
but it is not known whether they will
be informed.
China's action is expected to have
far-reaching effect on far eastern his
tory, as it aligns her with Japan and
the other entente powers. German
trade, which before the war had be
come the most dangerous competitor to
British and Japanese business in
China, amounted to about 20 per cent
of Japan's trade and offered a tempt
ing prize for the latter.

ael Alexandrovitch shall occupy the
Russian throne, abdicated by his
brother Emperor Nicholas, is left to
a plebiscite of the Russian people. ac.
cording to a manifesto issued by the
grand duke. This is taken in some
quarters to mean that Grand Duke
Michael does not intend to accept the
regency temporarily. except only aft
er the holding of elections.
A new national cabinet was an
nounced on March Is with Prince
Lvoff as president and premier and
the other offices held by men close. to

Even the imperial council realized
the gravity of the situation and added
its appeal to that of the duma that the
emperor should take steps to give the
people policy and government in ac-
cordance with their desires and in or
der that there should be no interfer-
ence with carrying on the war to a
victorious ending
The emperor fastened back from
the front, only to find that the revolu-

new government was in control The
empress who, it is alleged, had been
influential in the councils opposed to
the wishes of the people. is reported
to have fled, or to be in hiding.
The city is now quiet. Perfect or

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,

It's like magicl

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
apply upon the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get a small
bottle of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries, the moment
it is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many Of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

4 Beautiful in every detail was the
marriage Wednesday of Miss Gather.
inc Davenport to Mr.. Emory Rylander
at the Episcopal church.
The church was handsomely decor
ated in a verdant bower of smilax and
ferns. while the altar with its lighted
tapers gave a delicate soft glow over
the happy couple.
Miss Davenport Is the Oldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. James Augustus
Davenport. Her beauty and unusual
talent has, indeed, won her a merited
place in the younger social set of the
city.
Her wedding gown of white satin,
with a tulle covering and beautifully
trimmed in handsome silver passe-
mentrie. was exquisite. The coronet
veil hung gracefully to the bottom of
the robe. while she carried bouquet
Of bride roses, showered with valley
lilies.
The vested choir led the bridal par
tv in the church. sweetly singing "The
Voice That Breathed DER Eden" The
ushers. MIR. E. ]. Eldridge and Mr..
Walter Rylander, followed.
While the first melodies of the
strains of the wedding march were
healing forth their consecrated strains
the bridesmaids, becomingly attired in
elaborate robes Of rainbow colors
were met at the altar by the grooms-
men. stately dressed in conventional
evening clothes.
Miss Mary Ella Davenport was
charming in a pink tulle frock over
mink satin. followed by Miss Flora
Denham, modishly attired in a blue
tulle over blue satin. Miss Mary Dav-
enport was unusually lovely in her
handsome creation of green tulle over
taffeta.
Miss Maude Sherlock's gown OF
starchinelle yellow was exquisite.
The lavender costume of Miss Geor-
giana White was unexcelled in its pi-
quaint style.
Each made gracefully carried an
elaborate bouquet Of sweetpeas In the
dainty pastel shades which gave de-
cided loneliness to the occasion.
The groomsmen were Mr.. John Ma
this. Mr.. Furlow Gatewood, Mr.. Law
son Stapleton, Jr., and Mr.. Frank Sta
nleton. Each gave dignity and gallan-
try to the affair.

BOUDOIR SHOWER
FOR MISS ALLEN.

Miss Elizabeth Allen, whose mar
raige to Benjamin Worthy occurs this
month, was the honoree at pretty
beudoir shower given for her by Miss
Ruth Britton at her home on Harold
a. venue yesterday
A color scheme of blue and pink
was observed in the decorations which
made the Britton residence particular
ly attractive for the occasion. The
gifts brought by the various guests
were palced in a large boudoir cap of
crepe paper hung directly over the
table at which Miss Allen and three
other young ladies sat during the
question contest which furnished
amusement. At a given signal the re-
ceptacle was lowered to the table oc-
cupied by the bride-elect and the
pretty gifts deposited before her.
An ice course was served by the
