FL™ PAYSTRKE THREAT | OFCHNESEENVOYS Heads of Stranded Legations i in Europe Notify Peking of Demands. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily New Copyright, 1923 PEKING, July 20—Official heads of stranded Chinese legations in Eu- Tope, their salaries and expenses un- pald for a year, have cabled the Peking government that they will declare a strike and come home un- less they are paid immediately. Chinese ministers in Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands have all cabled that they cannot attend the league of nations conference because of lack of funds. The Chinese min- ister in Paris declares that his lega- tion is liable to immediate ejection unless he pays the rent, while the Peking representative in Norway pleads he is broke, his staff is short rationod and hungry and that he can- not stay longer unless immediate cash is forthcoming. At the time the Chinese minister to Cuba cables that the legation in Havana is beseiged by creditors and suggests that it be abolished and the handling of Chinese affairs,in Cuba be turned over to the Chinese minister in Wash- ington. Funds Disappear. Investigation here discloses that two government appropriations re- cently made to relieve stranded dip- Jomatic representatives have riously disappeared. One appropriation stead of going to legations abroad, was used by the foreign office here as a secret expense fund, while an- other appropriation of $230,000 has vanished without trace. Government heads here are making frantic efforts to obtain funds for the stranded diplomatic representatives, but without hope, foreign banks de- clining to advance any cash without gocurity. Previous appeals for funds from the same diplomats have hither- to been ignored. government heads believing their threats to strike be- ing idle talk. Now that they have joined forces and threaten to strike in unison, their appeals are being considered seriously.

GERMANY DEFIANT OF REVOLT THREATS Government Replies to Intimations in Nationalist and Red Papers. By the Assoctated Pross. BERLIN, July 20.—The German gov- ernment, according to a semi-official statement today, does not believe there is any foundation for recent newspaper references to the possibil- ity of clvil war in Germany, inas- much as the overwhelming majority of the people will not allow them- selves to be led into such “criminal foollshnes: Should, however, attempts be made on any side to Tevolt against the will of the majority of the people the government will ruthlessly use all means at its disposal to overcome such an attack against the existence and constitution of the reich, and, it is added, the government possesses the necessary means to do this. The statement apparently is a reply to recent nationalist and communist newspaper allegations that each side was preparing for a revolt and par- ticularly to a letter which a nation- list member of the reichstag wrote to Chancellor Cuno, alleging that the Prussian minister of the interior, Herr Severing, was favoring civil War, to be initiated from the left. The communists also have been warning of the alleged imminence of a fasclst rising under reichswehr of- ficers.

By the Associated Press. ON BOARD U. 8. S. HENDERSON, WITH PRESIDENT HARDING, July 20.—A. visit to Cordova, ocean termi- nus of one of the two railroads pierc- ing Alaska's interior, was the fea- ture of today’s program for President Harding, who is nearing the end of the first visit to Alaska made by a chief executive of the United States. At Cordova the President was expect- ed to take the Copper River and Northwestern railway for a run out to the Miles and Childs glaciers. These glaclers are on opposite sides of the Copper river at Mile 49, where the stream is spanned by a mammoth steel bridge set in concrete. That place s said to be the only spot in the world where even one glacier can be reached by train. Cordova is the shipping port for the copper ore brought out from the Kennecott district by the Guggen- heim interests. It was solely to reach this copper that the Copper River and Northwestern railway, which is 131 miles long, was built. The Presi- dent's original plan, given up because the activities of the long days of an Aluskan summer began to break Mrs. Harding down, was to travel to Chitina, the northern terminus of the Copper River and Northwestern rail- road from Fairbanks, the northern terminus of the Alaska railroad, by automoblle over the Richardson high- way. The time at sea is bringing Mrs. Harding back to health, according to her physiclans. Both the Hardings are trying to store strength for stren- uous days on the Pacific coast after they ]and at Vancouver, B. C, day. ~ The Henderson is to stop at Sitka, the capital of Alaska when the Russians owned the territory, be- fore going to Vancouver. No Boom Expected. The consensus of opinion of offi- clals in President Harding’s party is that the territory will gradually de- velop, but that no sensational boom can be expected as a result of the visit of the chief executive, Mr. Hoover is expected to make his Alaska policy clear in a statement to be issued soon. It is understood t the statement will be confined largely to fisheries, probably suggesting the creation of additional fishing reservi- tions With a view to conserving the supply by protecting it from exces- sively rapid harvesting.
