Had Never Received Instructions to Take Pulmotor From Station. Some criticism of the members of the fire department at the Central sta- tion, blaming them for not taking the pulmotor with them in response to fire rms, is absolutely unjust and with- out foundation. Never since the pul- motor was purchased by the safety MONARGHIAL PLAN IS LOSING STRENGTH Chinese Attitude Toward Move- ment Growing Wabbly (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Peking, Nov. 1—Newspapers which were originally friendly to the mon- archical movement and were inclin- ed to accept without qualification to the statements of its leaders, are now becoming somewhat wobbly in their faith as the result of the *farcial” elections now being held| The North China Daily News of Shanghai whicn is generally recognized as a more or less official mouth-piece for Eng- lish interests in China, is one of the early supporters of the movement which is weakening. The following extract from an editorial in this pa- per shows its position: “Meanwhile the trade of Shanghai is suffering, and foreigners want to know whether they are watching comedy or farce. Foreigners and the majority of Chinese are quite prepared to sit through the perform- ance as long as it promises to reach a nedouncement in keeping with real ! life. They are prepared even to | applaud as the curtain falls and to | call Yuan Shi-kai in front of it to receive their bravos. But they do not want to be led on from scene to | scene towards a finale that is merely fantastic. These wordy mandates, | this manoeuvering of so-called popu- | lar assemblies, these petitions, the whole bag of tricks, do they or do they not represent genuineness soms- where, a goal somewhere and definite approaches to that goal? Or are we watching a sham and nothing but a sham, the prolonged evolutions of a topsy turvey piece of nonsense made as elaborate as possible only to cover the absence of any connected, rea- sonable plot. Is the doctrine of mas- kee (it makes no difference) being carried bevond the point of indif- ference to means and to the point of indifference to ends also. If so, we warn Yuan Shi-kai that his finale Will be an interrupted and a troubled one. Disastrous to Country. “If this much talked of monarchical movement with its elaborate inv tigations of pros and cons, with 1 hunting up of musty records and its be-spectacled peering into dry- as-dust precedents is nothing more than a grasping of power for selfish | purposes, then it will prove disas- trous to those who are taking parc of it and disastrous to the country issued instriuctions that the elections’ shall be carried out according to law, but the manner in which his instruc- tions had been at nought, and the at- tempt to fake the voting as evidenced in the Peking elections, show how lit- tle those who are engineering the elections for their own ends are will- ing to obey his instructions. This matter should be brought at once to his notice, and those responsible for not carrying out his order should be severely punished. Unless the gov- ernment wishes the world to believe that the elections all over the country are a fraud and shame and that the people have been robbed of their in- dependence of voting, the recent Pekin elections must be cancelled. Foreigners have been led to believe that a referendum of those qualified to vote on the question of the form of state would be taken. They have believed the bona fides of President Yuan Shi-kai, and the statements he has made on the matter, If, however, this election is allowed to stand and it is shown that he is willing to allow such shameful breaches of the elec- tion regulations to pass by without censure, then the confidence which has been reposed in him will be con- siderably shaken, and it will be be- lieved that he is the party to these discreditable practices.” TRAVEL IN EUROPE IS VERY DIFFICLLT Americans Have Hard Times— Experiences of Rummels (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Paris, Nov. 5.—Difficulties for Americans traveling on the Continent are increasing. Walter Morse Rum- mel, the American composer and pian- ist who has been living for many vears in Paris and his wife, formerly Therese Chaigneau, a French pianist, were arrested at Dieppe recently, sus- pected of being spies. They were returning home from London where professional engage- ments called them. They had sub- mitted their papers to the French Consulate General in London and had received a safe-conduct to Paris. They had an American passpor{ and a personal letter from Mr. Thackara, the Consul General- They were searched after their arrest at Dieppe. Although nothing suspicious was found they were detained in a hetel | overnight. The next morning Rum- i mel was taken by grenades through as a whole.

RESIDENCE TELEPHONE of the sorriest farce that has ever been staged in China.” Commenting on this changed atti- tude of the North Cnina Daily News, the Peking Daily Gazette, which is owned and edited by Chinese only, say: “It is clear that what is moving the Shanghai paper to a lower valua- tion of the movement is the introduc- tion of the apparatus of unreality into it; and just as a sense of reality and actuality is a condition of efficiency and success in the West, so does the exhibition of a marvelous capacity of unreal in serious affairs strike the for- eign mind at once as plain for failure and as intellectually offensive. The statecraft that is at work in our coun- try today—so typically manifested in the gesture of the hour—is based on an order of ideas which may have cor- responded with reality in the seven- teenth century, when China stood in splendid isolation; but in these days when our very existence as a nation is in the trust of friendly powers, me- diaeval concepts of government must give way to the other order of ideas, which inspire men in the west to gov- ern a country as a nation and not as a family domain. We write these words less in the sense of active op- position to the monarchial movement thar- of caution and counsel to those who may know China even in her re- cesses, but are in truth lacking in the foreign experience which alone can enable them to understand and to deal —otherwise than gropinzly—with cer- tain categories of foreign affa Nceds Foreign Sanction. Continuing the discussion of monarchical movement apart from | the attitude of the foreign papers, the Peking Gazette says: “While we | fear that there may be tragic possi- bilities in the movement which is hurrying the nation to the foot of a throne, we are free to admit that the president—whose knowledge of his people is unmatched by any other living Chinese—may yet be right in believing that China must be ruled as an empire if her salvation is to be achieved. But not the least of the things that may make for the possible success is the necessity of envisaging the momentous change as a transac- tion that cannot be complete unless it receive foreign sanction and approv- al. The elevation of the president to the seat vacated by the 'Manchu has hitherto been regarded as a pure- ly domestic matter. Nothing is more calculated to lead the authorities astray in a capital direction than an adherence to such a dubious and false view of the relations of this country to the outside world. We have to in- sist upon the real connection that lies between the success of the great ex- the there in cells, the floors of which were covered with filth and the walls with obscene drawings. They were there six hours before being able to buy a piece of stale bread and a piece of cheese. Rummel’s fellow prisoner | was an Apache who confided to him | that he had just stabbed a woman. Rummel had at every stage of his ex- perience explained who he was and demanded that the authorities should inquire at the American Embassy in Paris before being interned. He and his wife were released therefore after forty-eight hours detention altogeth- er, upon representations of the:Amer- ican Consul in Rouen. Mr. Rummel’s father and grandfa- ther were British. His mother was the daughter of S. F. B. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph; Rummel | happened to lgive bepn born’in Ber- lin during gz, period whgn his father Was there on business. He was reg- istered as British-born at the British Consulate. His parents went to America when he was three years old. After the death of his father his mother resumed American citizenship. Young Rummel was entitled to take his mother’s nationality and did so. The circumstance that he was born in Berlin appears to have drawn up- on him the suspicion that he was Ger- man. The American Embassy has gone fully into the affair and has made representations to the Foreign Office upon the indignities Mr. and Mrs. Rummel suffered. They have spent most of their time since the war be- gan in hospital and other charitable work in France, particularly in or- ganizing funds for musicians. City Iltems F. G. Vibberts and W. F.
