Troops From, China
Available to Join
japanese at Hardin

LONDON, June 22,-Chinese soldiers
are available for cooperation with the
Japanese at Hardin and near the Sibe-
rian frontier. and. if necessary, more
will be sent, General Tuan Chi Jul, the
Chinese Premier and War Minister,
told the Picking correspondent Of 1.-THE
Daily Mail" The Premier added:
"The threatening situation on our
frontiers certainly demands safeguards.
We do not want the Bolsheviki in
China"
With reference to Chinese participa-
ton in the war on the European bat
tlefronts. the Premier said
Il would like to help the Allies and
would be glad to send 10000 or so O0O
troops, but am prevented by financial
difficulties ana the activities of the
provincial rebels. have sent 10000
troops south. am hopeful that the
Canton rebellion can be repressed
within two months, and then a good
many OF these troops can be released
Tor service elsewhere"
Regarding the feeling Of the Chi
nese toward the Germans General
Tussn Chi-jui said the people generally
could not distinguish between Germans
ana other Europeans, adding:
But the enlightened classes remem-
per that because q mob killed two mis-
SionaTles Germany forced US to cede
Ising-tao, and owing to that precedent
places like Port Arthur and Wei.ha;.
wei were sliced from China. But for
Germany China would be whole TODAY.
Furthermore. it is impossible to
forget that during the Boxer troubles
herman troops were ordered not to
give quarter, and the invasion of the
imperial palace by German soldiers
was disgrace unparalleled in our
civilization and will ever be vivid to
the national consciousness. The Boxer
rising itself was provoked by German
bullying at Tsing-tao. Besides. how
can we forget the Kaiser's continual
harping on the yellow peril'?"

High War Prices
Force Every Week
To Suspend Issue
Magazine With 100000
Readers Unable to Meet
Cost of Supplies

One of the casualties of war not in
the official list issued from Washing
ton is every Week." which passed
away yesterday, mourned by half q
million readers. The CHEEKY little maya
zine fell victim to the ruthless ad-
vance of white paper and the other es-
sentials of magazine production.
Under the conditions that the war
has produced, it seems wise to suspend
the publication Of Every Week." the
Crowell Publishing Company says. The
statement in its final issue, dated June
az, follows, in part:
"The world war, which has greatly
prospered some forms of business, has
laid a heavy hand on the business of
manufacturing newspapers and maya
zines. Almost every week brings news
OF some new dlscontinuance or CONSOLE
dation. And SO far as can be judged
these conditions are likely to grow
more onerOus.
The war has greatly increased the
cost of the raw materials. 1t has made
it difficult, if not actually impossible,
to get the new and better mechanical
equipment with which we had planned
to enhance the physical appearance of
the magazine.
at seems to us wise, therefore, to
adopt the sterner, if less easy, course
and to discontinue Every Week
1--WE have planned that no subscriber
shall suffer any loss as a result of this
decision"
Subscriptions to "Every Week" will
be continued in the other publications
of the Crowell Publishing Company

Companion" and EARN and Fireside."

AFTER the case had been marked
ready the plaintiff announced that he
wished to discontinue. This was his
right. But had he ever intended to try
the cases, it is not apparent why he
should elect to discontinue.
Had he felt aggrieved at the action
CT the court in refusing to grant the
delay that he sought, and had he felt
mat such action was unwarranted, he
could have submitted to dismissal Of
his complaint, and then he could have
moved to have the dismissal set aside

done every day. Instead. however. of
following this course, he chose to drop

When the case was called on that
date Frank Moss, representing the

Surrounded by Superior
Forces and Obliged to Re-
treat Into Manchuria
Chinese Demand Arms
Surrender of Guns Seen as
Imperative Unless Third
Power Intervenes
{By The Associated Press)


HARDIN, Wednesday, June 19.--Gen.
eral Semenoff's movement against the
Bolsheviki in Eastern Siberia has
proved definitely abortive, in the opin-
ion of British and French military OBJ
servers in Manchuria.
Although not defeated in battle, Gen
eral Semenotf has been surrounded by
superior forces and obliged to retreat
into Manchuria, there being no other
course. The Chinese authorities have
demanded that he disarm on crossing
the frontier and surrender his can
non and munitions. General Semenoff
has refused the demand, but recog-
nizes that unless a third power inter
venes the surrender of his arms is i'm
perative
The Bolshevik forces operating along
the Transatlantic Railway against
General Semenoff are assisted by from
two to three thousand released Ger
man and Austrian prisoners. Good dis
cipline is being enforced and the army
has two airpanes in use.
All the Cossacks recruited in con-
quered territory by General Semenoff
have gone over to the Bolsheviki to
preserve their homes and protect their
families.
1t is reported the forces under Gen.
Grail Orlofe, which were ordered to as
sist General Semerotf, decided not to
advance, believing it was useless to
continue the struggle against the Boil
sheviki. On the Eastern Manchurian
front on June II independent forces
under General Kalmakoff attacked the
Rolsheviki at Grodckova. The Bolshe-
WIKI were driven back in brief en-
gagement, but counter attacked and
compelled Kalmskoff to retreat to
Pogranitchnaya.

Austria Ready for Peace
Won Seydler, if he resigns, probably
will be succeeded by an agent of the
Hohenzo.lerns, as Czernin was sue
ceeded by Burian. But the lesson of
the Italian offensive is that. though
Germany may keep Austria from fall
ing apart, she no longer can make
Austria fight. Austria's people, in
their desire for peace. are ready to
accept defeat.
1t is being urged that this country
should adopt the Germany strategy of
attacking weak member of the on
posing combination. This view is likely
to be expressed in Congress in the next
few days.
One plan which has many supporters
is to send large American armv to CO.

is urged, would cut off Germany from
Bulgaria and Turkey. Both Of these
powers are as tired of war as Austria.

necessary to have kind of divided

doubt whether it Is advisable to hava
it anywhere
"on the contrary, believe that We
should make the Fourth of July !
genuine Americanization day. and
should use it to teach the prime lesson
OF Americanism, which is that there ID
no room in this country for the per-
petuation of separate race, groups. or
racial divisions; that we must al be-
Americans and nothing but Americans.
and that, therefore, on the Fourth 81

Accused Draft Evader's
Dash for Liberty Fails

Clifford Rock, charged by Local
Board No. % with evading the draft,
made a determined attempt to escape
yesterday through the window in the
Mushroom of the Brooklyn County
Court House, where he was being de-

Patroman Stapleton, of the Adams

he was halfway out of the window.
Realizing that he could not pull him
back, the policeman rushed out of the
building and took up the chase. He
was joined by John Hill, Secret Ser
vice agent, and Rock was soon recapt-
ured and locked up in a cell.
