SSRUNTANGE PASSING IRRITANT Franklin ~ Thinks 12-Mile Search Limit Would End In- ternational Controversy. By the Assoctated Press. NE WYORK, July 11.—If England could see her way clear to approve a twelve-mile limit within which American government ecraft could search alien vessels suspected of rum running the troublesome question of foreign liners bringing liquor stores to this country would be cleared up. in the opinion of P. A. S. Franklin, president of the International Mer- cantile Marine, Returning to Europe today on the Majestic, he branded as a farce the present situation in which the Amer- ican authorities are confiscating all but medicinal liquor brought into port by foreign liners. “We are in the same position as the government itself,” he declared. *“The_traffic in liquor Is going on in the United States today much same as before the Volstead act and the government is getting no reve- nue from it. [Eastbound passengers on dry boats are bringing their own, with the Tesult that the niships are carrying as much liquor as they would if they attempted to handle it over the bar, and yet are getting no revenue from that source whatever.” What Ambassador Jusserand termed “a transitory irritant” in speaking of the situation between France and Great Britain, Mr. Franklin said, seemed to summarize the feeling in England over America's seizure of rum. The English, he said, were irritated by the immigration quota law, the handling of immigrants at Ellis Is- land and denlal of the right to carry liquor on their own ships, asserting that they did not think the States was showing the courte should be extended by one nation to another. Declaring that the shipping situa- tion still was unfortunate and would remain so until the Ruhr “‘complex” was straightened out, Mr. Franklin announced that the White Star liner Homeric would be turned into an oil burner next fall, and that he hoped the service contemplated by the L M. M. between New York and San Fran- cisco next autumn would provide al greater producer of revenue than the north Atlantic service at present. ANARCHY PREVAILS INCHINESE AFFAIRS Country in Chaotic Condition. Fear of Bolshevism Expressed. BY CLIFFORD FOX. 3y Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News Copyright, 192 PEKING, July 11.—Anarchy in mild form already is prevalent in Chinese sovernment affalrs here and fears -re being expressed that the door has | 'een opened for the entry of bol- i evism throughout the country. Dav- n. head of the soviet mission to king, already has taken advantage ? the opportunity to issue statements arough the Chinese press that China s experiencing all of the same trou- bles that affected Russla before the ollapse of the czarist regime and that the Chinese people are under- solng the same sufferings as did the Russian poasantry before the anti- 'zarlst outbreak Briefly summarized, the situation here today, which borders on. the chaotic, ts as follows: | Li Yuan-Hung, who was deposed as president, is a fugitive in Tientsin, where he is endeavoring to bring about an affiliation with Dr. Sun Yat-Sen in Canton. i Parliament is hopelessly divided | into rival political factions. ao Kun, powerful Chihli aspires to the presi- | ing an alllance either ang Tso-Lin, war lord of Manchuria, or with Dr. Sun, south- ern Chinese lcader. Affiliation by Tsao Kun with elther Chang Tso-Lin or Dr. Sun means loss of the supnort of Gen. Wu Pei-Fu, who controls China’s biggest and best equipped military force. Three cabinet members whose resignations were accepted long ago and whose legal standing is ques- tionable, are endeavoring to func- tion as a temporary government in the absence of any other responsible authority. Military and civilian servants of the government are threatening trou- ble unless they are paid salaries long in_arrears. Various provinces, although they have collected taxes from the people, are refusing to pay over the shares with Gen. ¢ due to the so-called “central govern- ment” in Peking, Chinese lower classes in Tientsin and Shanghal are reported much ex- cited over bolshevik »propaganda. which has appeared, but no serfous trouble has yet been reported from either place. Davtien, the soviet envoy here, refuses to make any per- sonal Statements to newspaper rep- resentatives, but issues all of his comments through a press bureau maintained in Peking. v Something Unusual.
