peror on the throne of Manchuria,
exactly as was done with Korea in
1897 Many pamphlets have appeared
in Japan dealing with the restoration
of an empire in China. Out Of regard
for the Chinese people, which means
in reality in order not to lose the
friendship of the Chinese (by means
of which the Japanese have obtained
an ally against America) Japan alter
ed its plans at the last moment and
will not permit the ex-emperor of
China to come to Japan but will send
him to Dalny.
MTE see how the Japanese imperial
w lists are working in China, how
they wish to dismember the country
and to suppress the Chinese people.
On March 20, great Japanese
newspaper in Toxic mentioned in
leading article the extraordinary ex-
penditure of the government for mill
tary purposes for the last ten years
from 1914 to 1924. This amounted to
milliard yen. OF this amount 900
million went to the navy and 700 mil
lion to the army. The paper in ques-
ton fiercely attacked the government
(it is said that no Japanese govern
ment had ever been so attacked IN the
press before) and stated
300 million yen for extra naval OK
penditure, this appears credible, for
during the world war the Japanese
had to maintain order in the Indian
Ocean and in Tsingtau; but the 700
million yen for the army; to what pur-
pose was this devoted? There has not
been a war in the meantime?"
To this question one can calmly
reply: the money was required for
speculations in China.

BY TANG SHIN SHE

THE foreign imperialist press in
China and the foreign representa-
tives are raising great cutlery re-
garding the bad conditions in China,
and are constantly demanding that
law and order be finally established
and that China be made a unified
state. AS a matter of fact, however,
war and unrest mean good business
for the imperialists. They are support
ing the generals with all their powers
and are smuggling arms into China in
order to sell them to the military
chiefs. The Japanese in particular
have been very active recently in this
respect.
When in 1917, China entered into
the world war it received large milit-
airy credits from Japan. From this
time on Tuan She Sui become a slave
of Japan. Even now he is working not
only in the interest of these imperial
lists but also in the interest of the
French. Tchang Tso Lin is likewise
an out and out supporter of Japan. In
the October war of 1924-at Shang-
haikwan-the Japanese supported
Tchang Tso Lin not only with aero
planes and money ETC., but in Tsin
Huang Dau Japanese troops fought
iirectly against those of WI Pei Flu.
ION the 9Th of March last there took
~ place in Mukden a military con-
terence of the supporters of Tchang
Tso Lin which was even attended by
the local Japanese consul. The follow
ing decision was arrived at: 10 million
Chinese Dollars are to be devoted to
improving and increasing the army OF
Tchang Tso Lin; half of this sum is
intended for the air fleet. the remain

Los Angeles in it's attempt to fly to
Minnesota Sunday and that the
Shenandoah could not be made ready
for fight in less than two weeks.
"All the steamboats, gas cells
he said, rare folded and stored away.
It would be necessary to repurify
some of the helium now in the Los
Angeles and then transfer it to the
Shenandoah. We haven't inflated q

there might be difficulties in getting
this done promptly and efficiently.

PROBABLE W|NNER
IN BALLOON RACE

Brussels, June 9-(AP)-Tonight
it seemed certain that Belgium would
be declared the winner of the first
renewal of the Gordon Bennett cup
race for lighter than air ballons. This
evening Ernest De Muyter, VINO pi-
lotcL the bag Belgica, was credited
with having gone the greatest dis
lance from the starting point, landing
at Quimpar, Brittany, 422 miles away.

cred ITO kilometers (440.1S miles)
but dropped in the Atlantic near the
Ushant light, and Van Orman prob
ally will be disqualified under the
rules governing the race.
a wireless dispatch was received
by way of Havre tonight from Van
Orman on board the steamer Water
land. The message said:

the lone aeronaut of the I8 who
started tn race who had not reported
up to 10 o'clock this evening. Veen-
stra has been the runner up to De
Muyter in all the balloon races in
recent years and there IL strong hope
among his partisans tonight that he
may yet prove to be the winner Of
the race.
Like the Goodyear III, the French
bag Grand Charles, piloted by the
youthful Frenchman Ladu, came to
grief in the ocean, dropping in the
sea sonuth of England. The Picard,
flown by the famous French pilot
Bienaime, and one Of the favorites
to win the race, came down in Pa
cardy. having gone much shorter
distance than several of the other
starters. 81
Although three of the IS starters
dropped into the sea all their crews
were saved.
Lieutenants Floord and Mccormick
who flew the American balloon S-14,
returned to Brussels this evening.
They landed yesterday in France.
The aeronauts said that after a flight
of four hours they noticed they were
drifting too quickly toward the sea,
so they rose to an altitude of 5000
feet. Then the STA drifted for an
hour in the neighborhood of Able
vile, but it was decided to land as
the course Of the balloon was taking
them toward the open sea If they
missed Cherbourg. ~

BRITAIN TO CEASE
POLICY OF ISOLATION
FOR 4 power PACT

LONDON, June SI(AP)-Omc1al
papers explaining the Anglo-F French
accord in replying to Germany's
overtures for q pact guaranteeing
Germany's western frontiers will not
be presented to parliament, Mr..
Baldwin. the prime minister. ex-
planned in the couse Of commons to-
day, until the British foreign secre-
tary, Austen Chamberlain, returns to
London about the end Of next week.
An authoritative statement given out
tonight. however. indicates fully the
nature of the proposed pact. which,
should Germany accept. as deemed
likely by the British government,
will institute an entirely new factor
in European relationship.
In the first place, Great Britain
will abandon her policy of isolation
and become virtually member of a
four power alliance-for it is as
sumed that Italy. will join-to pre-
serve the peace of Europe and guar
antee the frontiers of France, Bel
GUM and Germany as established
under the Versailles treaty, against
violation from any side and will en-
ploy the whole of her defensive fare
es for this purpose.
The pact will be bi-lateral, Great
Britain undertaking to guarantee the
frontiers against unprovoked attack
by either France or Germany. But
there is an important proviso. The
phole pact will be under the auspices
Of the league of nations which Ger
many must join, and any action TAX
en- will be under the league coven-
ant.
Apparently both Great Britain and
France had to make concessions.
France wanted the right to send
troops across the Rhine to help Po-
land in the event of war. Great
Britain objected to this and SEEM
ingly a compromise has been found,
under which the pact guarantees
Germany equally with France and no
action can be taken in the event OF
hostilities in either western or east
ern Europe except under the coven-
ant of the league.
The pact which Mr.. Chamberlain
negotiated will be certain to meet
strong criticism in the house OF COM
mons because many will contend
that it involved Great Britain too
deeply in possible European embroli-
mentts.

COOLIDGE SEES
MOVIES OF HIMSELF
As TRAIN SPEEDS

President Coolidges Train enroute
to Washington, near Akron, Ohio, June
9.-(AP)-The presidential train.
which was a travelling White House
today as 1t sped through southern
Wisconsin and northern Illinois ana
Indiana, became motion picture thea
tire tonight in northern Ohio.
During the day President Coolidge,
in buoyant spirits as the result of the
reception given him yesterday at Min
nesota, held his usual bi-weekly press
conference with the dozen newspaper
men travelling with him, dictated q bit
to his stenographer and conferred
with Secretary of State Kellogg and
Secretary Sanders.
Tonight, to break the monotony. a
movie show was put on in the dining
car for the entertainment of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge. They saw a
news reel of scenes yesterday in St.
Paul and Minneapolis and at the Min
nesota State Fair grounds where the
president delivered an address at the
Norse-American centennial a project
ing machine having been put on the
train at Chicago especially for the
showing.
The special, on time, was scheduled
to arrive in Washington about s
o'clock tomorrow morning. For a time
today while speeding through Indiana
it skirted a windstorm which stirred
up mammoth cloud Of dust less than
half mile from the railroad.
To the disappointment Of several
hundred persons who had gathered at
the station, the president had not
arisen when his train made a brief
stop at 7.30 A. M. at Madison, Wis,
the homo Of Senator LaFollette.
Although he appeared on the rear
platform at times to acknowledge
salutations along the route, Mr..
Coolidge remained in the seclusion of
the observation car most Of the day.
During his conference with news
papermen, the executive gave his i'm
preston of his reception in Mime
sofa. with the usual restriction that
he was not to be directly quoted and
announcement was made that Secre-
tary Kellogg had been informed that
Belgium would send commission to
Washington In July to, negotiate the
funding Of its $430, 100000 debt to the
United States.
At every meal, except breakfast. he
has had on the train since leaving
Washington, the president has eaten
a beef steak.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
ate an early dinner and were in the
midst Of their meal when the train
stopped at Willard, Ohio. The crowd
at baseball game near the station
rushed en- masse over to the train,
Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge leaving the
dinner to greet them from the obser-
walton platform.
"Mr. President" someone shouted,
you ruined perfectly good ball
game"
We'll, you ruined a perfectly good
support" remarked Mrs. Coolidge
with a smile.
