PROPOSED CHANGE
HNKOW. China. Oct. 2. Chinese
newspapers have taken the move
ment of the Peace Preservation
suietj to reestablish the empire very
calmly. Kven here in the Yang-tse-kinng
valley, which was such a storm
cei.ter in the two recent revolutions,
there has been little flurry caused bv
the report from Tekln. or president
Ycai. Shlkai-s approval of the move
ment for the restoration o the mon
archy. We don't care -whether we have a
republic or a monarchy if It be stable,
a prominent Chinese merchant re
marked "We simply want a chance
to go alone without changes and iip
sfts in business conditions. Our chief
otiectien to the monarchial form is
thar it will take some time to adjust
to the new conditions "
I Typical of Ilnnkow View.
This view is probably topical of tn?t
held by most of the business men of

nt ntly the administration is confident
tha no rebel demonstration of any
consequence can develop in the valley

tributary.
Chinese papers published in foreign
concessions are almost unanimous In
cle laring this is an unfortunate time
lo the discussion of an empire. Thev
re l.fcve the project should be abandoned
until after the end of the European war
because of the importance of foreign

Would JVot Cause Rebellion.
The Central China Post, of Hankow,
which is published by Englishmen and
is probably the most influential daily
in the upper Yang-tse-kiang valley,
i.i a recent editorial expressed the opin
io that the reestablishment of the
monarchy will not give rise to a re
1 ll"on in Southern China, as has been
predicted by some leaders. The edl
tciial says. "The great masses will
be perfectly content to vote the prest

London. Ens, Oct. . The prince of

all through his holiday here. Nobody
looking at his lithe and spare frame
would imagine him in danger of putting

BERLIN, (iennany, Oet. 2. Such schools of mackerel as have not been seen
in German waters for many years are now kiting the seacoasta in both
the North sea and the Baltic, and the fishermen are making enormous

War Is Aiding
The Inventor
London, Enj. Guglielrao Marconi, the
inventor of the wireless telegraph, is
authority for the statement that the
world will be surprised when the war
is over by the immense strides that
have been made in the inventive field
as a direct result of the conflict. The
benefits of these inventions, he says,
will in a great measure offset the im
mense looses of life and money which
war takes as a toll.

France Is Buying and
Melting Up jewelry Of
Its Hard Up Residents
Paris, France, Oct i. The bank of
France and the mint have come to an
arrangement to buy In all of the old
gold jewelry that so many good citi
zens would only be too glad to get rid
of. The weighing and the bartering are
done at the mint and payment is made
according to the purity of the metal,
'without tax or charge.
This meets a great want Thousands
of people are "hard up," and yet have
odds and ends of broken jewelry In their
drawers that would have been disposed
of long ago if' they had been able to
make honest bargains. In gold pieces,
$1.0,000,000 has been realized since
July I, a snm equal, perhaps, to one
fourth of the gold coin still held back
by the people.

Great Britain. France and Belgium are
negotiating with America for 20.000
movable dwelling houses, churches,

northern France and Belgium, until the
1 mined towns have been reconstructed,
j The scheme is being opposed by the
J executives of the Amalgamated Society

Germans Create Polish
University In Warsaw
Warsaw. Poland. Oct 2. Less than
a month after the occupation of War

all but completed for the creation of a
Polish university, designed to attract
the young Poles -who heretofore have
always sought foreign institutions of
learning because they would or could
not attend the old Russian university

The German authorities have readily
agreed to the proposal of the citizens'
committee which now is conducting the
city's affairsT rUowing the return to
Warsav- of Poles, who now are in for

of all ages. Meanwhile it is arranged
