Germans and Austrians Here Have Contributed Valuables For Sufferers That the patriotic Germans and Austrians in this city have contribut- ed heavily to the Teutonic war relief fund is attested by the number of iron rings being worn by the donors. Thus far 1,000 such rings have been issued to those who have contributed money or other valuables towards the relief fund. The ring signifies that the wearer has given $1 or more either in money or valuables such as jewelry towards the relief fund. The ring is plain iron and but for the inscription on the inside might be significant of nothing. It is the inscription and the certificate accompanying it, tes- tifying to the fact that the possessor has contributed to the relief fund, ; which makes it a cherished possession. This unique method of raising funds which has been adopted by the na- tional relief committee with head- quarters in New York is serving its purpose well and a huge sum has been raised from all sections of the country. Besides this method of raising relief funds, the Austrians and Germans in this city have raised $3,000 thraugh subscriptions. More money is needed, however, and the Austrian-Hungarian Singing society | plan to hold a picnic at Mountain Grove, Saturday September 18 and is working now to make this event a big success.

AGTION IN CHINA ‘President Yuan-Shib-Kai Urges Cabinet Members to Save Gountry —— (Correspondence of the Assoclated Press.) Peking, July 21l—President Yuan Shih-Kai uttered at a recent cabinet meeting an impressive plea for united action in China which made a deep impression upon Chinese officials. Its publication in English today caused much discussion among foreigners. The Peking Gazette characterizes the address as “couched in the usual P, of over-emphasis,”” but :;Zi‘e’:g:o attempt to discount the serfousness of the dishonesty and jneficiency of Chinese officials which the president denounced as a great nace to the republic at a time svhen outside pressure is threatened. «“Qur suzerainty in southern Man- churia has gradually gone into the hands of foreigners,’”” said the presi- dent. “The foreign aggresor has come to their doors, but our people are still dallying in the midst of calamities. As I am advanced in age and have received the sacred and weighty trust from the Tsing dynasty, how can I let the country go to ruin when I am assuming the duties of chief executive of the republic? By all means I must save the country. To avert the impending disaster is the sacred duty which lies upon the shoulders of everyone of us.” Xargely Figurative. President Yuan Shih-Kai 1is less than sixty years old and in the best of health; consequently his allusion to his old age is largely figurative. “Sorrow comes into my heart when- ever I review our present situation,” were the opening words of the pres- ident’s appeal to the cabinet “It seems to me that the general policy of the nations of the world is to con- quer a weak country, to invade the country which has forfeited the con- fidence of the other nations, to force order upon the country, which is in a state of chaos, and to take by force the country, which is on the verge of ruin. In other words, as many foreigners claim, it is the heavenly duty for the strong and civilized nation to annex and control a nation which is barbarous or semi-civilized.” “Our country does not manifest any sign of instability, chaos, or the lack of confidence of other nations, and it is most unlikely that any nation for the present will invade or insult our country: But when we think of the neglect of discipline by our soldiers, the irregularities in administrative af- fairs, the calamities of floods and drouth throughout the provinces, the selfishness of some officials and the lack of public spirit among the peo- ple, we cannot help realizing the fact: that we are enjoying ourselves while reposing on a bed of straw with a kindling fire beneath it. How many of us know the strength of our na- tion, the tendencies of our people and the general conditions of the world ‘What portion of our country has been free from the disturbance and mo- lestation of banditti and outlaws, and what percentage of the officials are enthusiastic and strictly carry out their duty?” Deplores Shortcomings. “Some persons say that on account of our vast country and population the destruction of our country by an alien people is a matter of impossibil- ity. Look at Korea, the area of which is not much smaller than Japan- Some Japanese papers have stated of late that although China has changed the monarchy into a republican form o? government, her internal affairs are just as deplorable now as in the late dynasty, and that bribery and gam- bling among officials still prevail. Back to Old Ways. During the Chino-Japanese war and the Boxer trouble our people were greatly stirred up and determined to ‘lie on straws and taste the bitterness’ to prepare themselves for future emergencies; but when the anxious time was once passed they forgot everything. “It is worth while to note that when the imperial government was gone it was the dynasty that passed away and not the country- The new method of destroying a country now- adays is not only to overthrow the government but also to destroy the languages of the people and the very race of the nation. ‘“We cannot be ignorant of the his- tory of Poland and Annam. During the crisis of the recent Chino-Jap- anese negotiations it was a good sign that our people were greatly awak- ened by the threatening calamity. Should they again quickly forget the indignity the country received, the greater calamity of the country s bound to come.” President Issues Warning. President Yuan Shih-Kai concluded his appeal with this warning: “Now the situation of our eountry is comparable to a small boat wan- dering on a wild sea. It is not the time for us to pursue our pleasures and let things drift into the course of destruction- Above all, do not for- get the national disgrace of May 7 (the date of the acceptance by him of the Japanese ultimatum, under the terms of which Japan obtained extensive political and industrial con- cessions). Take off your easy gar- ment and cast away your habitual laziness and go ahead with all yvour effort to avert the fate of impend- i ing disaster so as to protect the peco- | ple ana save the country.” WARM WEATHER TOMORROW.

New York, Aug. 31.—Not only the dyestuffs situation but every phase of the chemical industry will be taken up by the agents of the de- partment of commerce sent here by Secretary Redfield tb investigate con- ditions in those trades caused by the war. Dr. Thomas H. Norton, the chief investigator, who began work here today, said e are anxious to see how we can utilize the coal in- dustry, in which we are now wasting products worth $100,000,000. “Germany utilizes every ounce of coal by-products, but only 16 per cent. of our coke furnaces are equip- ped for reclaiming coal tar products. Only a few are actually recovering benzol, napthaline and carbolic acid, which are the bases of most of the coal tar products Unfortunately, benzol and carbolic acid are used largely in explosives, with the result that these products are mostly taken up by the ammunition factories. “The potash problem is large. We import annually from Germany $15,- | 000,000 worth of potash, while off the | coast there are supplies of kelp which | are believed to have a value of $150,- 000,000 now going to waste. We | have at our door enough potash to meet the demands of the world, and the needs of our crops, to- bacco, grain and other produce, in the way of fertilizer. We have always been dependent on Germany for pot- | ash “Photographic chemicals are van- ishing We want to get caught in again, and the depart- e wants to stimulate American development we can supply demands and then world's trade in don't plight ment of comme our own branch out into the chemicals. “After this investigation is con- cluded,” said Dr. Norton, “we will he in a position to determine what can be done to relieve jmmediate necessi. ties, although I am firmly of the be. lief that a strong domestic dvestuff industry can be built up eventually,”
