CHINA DENOUNCES REBEL LEADERS Issues Edict Against-Men Direct- ing Agitation Campaign (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Peking, Nov 20—The Chinese gov- ernment has issued an edict denounc- ing Sun Yat-sen, Huang Hsing and other revolutionary leaders who are now in Japan directing a campaign of agitation. The edict warns the public against the activity of these rebal leaders. and urges the agitators now in China to quit their trouble-makiniz and to assist in strengthening the government. Sun Yat-sen is known in China as Sun Wen, and Huang Hsing was known in China during the revolu- tionary days as Chu Ming Tang. The latter was a members of the execu- tive committee of the Revolutionary society and later became generalissi- mo of the revolutionary army at Wu Chang. Upon the formation of Sun Yat-sen's first cabinet at Nanking, he was made minister of war. When Yuan Shi-kai became president, he made Huang Hsing resident general at Nanking in command of the souti- ern army, but be gradually undermin- ed the general's military authority, and in 1913 it was Huang Hsing who organized the second rebelllon. He took command of the rebels at Nan- king, but fled to Japan upon hearing of the approach of the northen troops. Revorted to Be in U. S “Huang Hsing is reported to be i the United States, supposedly in con- ference with a number of enemies of the Chinese government. Last year he was expelled from Sun Yat-sen's party, but the movement to restore a monarchical government in China is reported to have brought the two revolutionary leaders together, and Hsing is believed here to be co-oper- ating with Sun Yat-sen, who is in Japan.” “President Yuan Shi-kai (now mon- ach-elect) has issued an edict de- nouncing Sun Yat-sen, Huang Hsing and other revolutionary leaders who are directing a campaign of agitation against the Chinese government The edict reads as follows: “Recent reports from various places state that the followers of Sun Wen (Sun Yat-sen) and THuang Hsing have created rumors, advanced Clerk | fallacies, and circulated inflamma- ' tory literature printed abroad with the object of arousing the people in the interior to sedition. Requests have been received that these acti- vities should be suppressed Murdered the Good. “It will be remembered that after the revolution of Hsin Hai, Kuatung, Hunan, Kiangsi, Anhua, Kiangsu and Fukien were all under the influence of the rebels, who practiced violence under the name of the republic. They devoted their whole efforts to ex- torting money from the gentry and merchants, and murdered the good and innocent ones. They gave a false definftion to the doctrine and wife with others. They called right wrong, and vice versa. They tried to de- ceive the people. In short their ob- ject was to destroy the sense of mc ality, customs and practices, and con- verted this celestial country into a nest of bandits and violent characters. “When the government tried to check their influences they at once made an alliance of the six provinces to defy the central authorities. When ' generals were sent from the central government for their suppression they issued enormous quantities of cu rency notes with the object of col- lTecting all the silver and gold in the market and then they fled abroad to foreign countries. Consequently alt the ringleaders escaped with large fortunes, leaving their unfortunate followers to suffer for their misdeeds. 1t has been the principle, even of o robbers, to help their asso- ciates and protect their common in- terests at the risk of their own lives. But even this principle is disregard- ed among the rebel-chiefs who heart lessly pursue their selfish ends at the expense of their accomplices Hence they are worse than ordinary robbers, Later on they allied themselves with White Wolf, molesting several pre- vinces, which were devastated hy ravishing the women, incendiarism, and looting. Their cruel actions baffle description, and the same are all within the memory of this coun- try. Cheat Overscas Chinese “The Chinese merchants abroad in foreign lands have been industrious and have acquired health by sweat and blood. Taking advantage of the ignorance of these overseas Chinese as to the real circumstances of their mother country, these rebels have devised various methods to chent them of their hard-earned money in order to squander the same as they like. Sometimes a few tufei (band- its) were employed to create a small disturbance, so they might submit a bill of expenditure. But the overseas Chinese have now gradually come to understand their dishonest methods, and have refused to contribute more funds. SCHOOL QUESTION PROBLEM IN LODZ Hopelessly Inadequate Facilities Found in Town By Germans (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Lodz, Poland, Dec. 26.—By no means the least of the problems which the Germans have to solve in Lodz is the school question. On their occupation of the city last December, the Germans found hopelessly inade- quate school facilities, and, a short- age of teachers o great that it was out of the question to supply entire- 1y the deficiency from Germany. The city has a vouthful population of some 80,000 and facilities for only 25,000 pupils. Some 20,000 of these atteryl the Polish folk or common schools, where they are instructed by men who themselves have nothing more than a high school education and practically no pedagogical train- ing. The remaining 5,000 attend private schools, and come, of course, from the beter classes of the popu- 1ation. Only 150 In all the Polirsh folk schools, which are terribly overcrowded, there are in all but 450 underpaid, illy- prepared teachers. Aside from the number of children who attend the public and private schools, there are unconnted hundreds whose only edu- cational opportunities lie in the 300 odd Jewizh “cheders.’ Tn company with the educational chief of the cit 1 Associated Press correspondent recently made a tour through Lodz specially hent on see- ing the ‘cheders” and iheir hordes of pupils, There was revcaled a con- dition of things almost unbelievable. The first school visited w of all the rest. It was in the second story of a building overlook- ing a stable, and was large enough to accommodate 30 children at out- side. Sixty-seven youngsters, how- cver, were lammed into the little apartment, and =at in ecach other's laps to avoid standing Dirt Covers Fi Dirt, scraps of bread and pieces of vegetables — remnants of bygone lunches by the children—covered the floor. Such of the clothing as was not ragged was monstrously dirty. The teacher was a middle-aged Jew, whose wife teaches on alternate days a class of girls in her bed room un- der conditions that appear no more favorable than in the boys' school. Each child pays 60 kopeks (80 cents) a month for the instruction he re- ceives, consisiing principally of a smattering of religion. The school inspector visited this particular ‘“cheder” be- fore, but from long experience he lighted a cigarctte before entering the room to combat the sickening odor of the overcrowded place, The teach- er. used to Visits from Russian offi- cials, began at once to protest that he had no money with which to pay tribute, and showed obyious relief when he was assured that no money was desired.
