ADVISE
CHINESE TOEND
INTERNAL WARS
Consider Outside Help Will Be
Futile Until Strong, Central
Government Is Set Up.
BY FRANK CHARLTON.

International New. Service Foreign News
Editor.
While the foreign powers will care
fully refrain from actual interference
in China's domestic affairs. 1t was
learned today they have indicated in
formally that the time Is at hand
est exertions TO put her house In
order.
Inasmuch as the delegates Of tho
powers most vitality interested IN
China have begun to make progress
toward a definite program for ex-
ternal relief OF China, the statesmen
fear their efforts will be minimized
by the civil war and provincial reuds
in the celestial republic.
Not only Is China torn apart by
armed strife. with the south arrayed
against the north, but many Of the
provincial governors are carrying on
little wars OF their own. In addition
TO the fighting two political cur
rents are aligned against each other.
One Is the old system OF ancient China,
with It's monarchical sympathies, its
superstitions, and hatred OF change;
the other Is the element OF New China
young men and women who have
been educated In democratic political
ideals and progressive methods abroad.
Compared to Civil War Days.
The position of China Ia more critical
than that of the United States during
the American civil war. The Pekin
government might be compared with
the Washington Government in this
country from 1851 to 1855, although
II is much weaker and with much less
resources to draw upon.
The republic Of South China, with
headquarters at Canton, might be
compared to the American confeder'
acy.
Instead of increasing its strength
since civil war broke out In China,
the Pekin government has had a
struggle to hold it's own. Some OF
China's best friends expressed fears
| that the Pekin government would
| collapse before the end of this year.
The Pekin government has the sup
port of the foreign powers, and has
been able to secure steady revenues
| through the customs tariffs collected
| in port cities by foreign nations which
kept a part of this money to insure
| payment of China's foreign obliga
tons. The funds Of the republic OF
south China have been contributed
| voluntarily.
There is third element in the Chi
nese population who are not giving
active support either to the Picking oil
| the Canton government. This element
Ia composed of business men and edu
Gators who seek to bring unity anc
| tranquility to the country. They ar
| represented here by an unofficial SCI
of delegates.

half-from 100000 to $4,000, and
from three classes to one and a half

France has not made the utmost
effort to limit her forces.

colonial troops. But 1t does include

asked whether he anticipated a dis

the subject of land forces in which a

In q pity that Marcel Knecht, so

Even TO my knowledge the German
emperor showed a willingness to
enter into an alliance with France.
When in May 1914. l arranged for
Colonel House a talk with the Ger
man Emperor. the audience was
given at the "Schrippen feast" an
annual military feast and spectacle
at Potsdam. After the lunch the
colonel. whom Europeans regard as

emperor and I with the lovely crown

offers did not seem to have the back

All such preparations looking to
the end Of war. should nowadays, be
made openly. 80 that the great mass

may throw the weight Of their num-

No one who saw the enthusiasm OF
the great meeting addressed by Sena.
tor Borah in New York can question
how Americans feel about making
an end Of war and it's horrors.
II France should bring about the
restoration Of the part taken of Up

a desire to help the beaten foe and
reduce the indemnity, these acts
would be a shield Of protection to
France far more effective than any

criticism Of the conference even from
the Socialists in the French Cham
Der of Deputies. 1t is believed that
there may be some protest from them
against any decision limiting land
forces without representation from
Russia and Germany, but this Is not
taken seriously, since the Socialists
are no longer strong enough to be
effective.
When asked whether the assurances
of sympathy and cooperation given
him at the conference yesterday were
sufficient to convince him that his
hope of support for France in times
of trouble was not a dream impos-
sible to realize, Premier BRAND ex-
pressed complete satisfaction in the
response made to his speech.
II am greatly encouraged" he
said. And was more touched
than l can say by the reception
accorded my speech. Every member
of the delegation was deeply moved.
