Republican Leaders Unable to Re

Lack Moral Courage
FIGHTING DOME WITH MONEY
l' king1. Aug. 11. Not only between
China px.per and her dependencies,
but also aiming the Chines- province;
themselvti. conditions Which threaten
disintegration become more and more
nerli us as the leaders ot the Re publi
can movement fail to reorganize the
gov eminent anil delay In re-estuhlisu
ing central authority. The fhaotla
ondltion of China In at preeoat such
,us would cause widespread danger:,
iiiernatKTial fee well as domestic, If
the country were not so favorably Iso
lated from the rest of the world and
If the people were not of an ex 1
Ingly peaceful temperament. Their

money and not with alma.
In the late revolution there were no
battles In which more than a few
thousand men were engaged and the

The snm means today, it Is gen
erall believed, would sav t China from
her ofhclals, who with very few exc.-p

territories beyonc the Gobi 1' serf may
impose their authority as they will,
nnd the Chinese officials in those )iord
countries can obtain but po r advice
and little support from the Cabinet in

POOR PEOPLE OF GERMANY
LIVE CHIEFLY ON POTATOES
Merlin, Aug. 31. The Agricultural
Chamber "f the Rhine Province has
lust published some statistics yvhich
affcrd a striking corroboration of a
statement madi recently by a Social
ist ill the Reichstag to the effect that
potatoes are the chief diet of the poor
er classes in large sections ol Ger
many. The Agricultural Chamber, which is
i ImhIv legally constituted to gatbet
information for the flinrillimeill oa
agricultural matters, has been study
ing how the peasantry lives. It pub
lishes the family budgeU of 30 pea
pant families with annual IggjOmOJ
ranging between $471 and About
two-thirds of them had the higher
figure and owned small farms ol from
It) to 47 acres.
It was found that the average datly
( onsumptioti of potatoes of the 'M fam
ilies was nearly 3 1-3 pounds for each
person erhceeee the consumption of
meat was less that, 3 ounces of butter
1 y.i ounce, and sluhtly more than one
j.int of milk, of which neatly halt' was
skim milk or buttermilk.
The most Important arthle of diet,
after potatoes, was bread, of yvhich
each person consumed nearly 14
ounces dally, besides 4 ounces of flour.
The only other article of food men
tioned in the report was eggs, of which
each person ate one about every fourth
day.
It must he mentioned for the proper
appreciation of these figures that the
Rhine Provin'f is one of the richest
jglll lilt III all provinces In Germany, and
that the p( rsoiis coveted by them an
far t'n m being Riming the pooreat peo

which show that they eat almost no
