Resignations or Election. The “Morning Post,” equally with the “Times” and the “Daily Mail”— all conscriptionist papers—sees the possibility of several cabinet resigna- tions, or the other alternative, a gen- cral -election. The “Morning Telegraph” and the “Chronicle,” anti-compulsion organs, are also apprehensive of a crisis or a general election. The ‘‘Chronicle” editorially protests against “intriguers A and wire pullers, who contemplate the desperate and mad expedient of a gen- cral election—a gambler's plunge, Which might entrail disastrous conse- quences,” and points out how, by DASHING AFTERNOON :r.m;?l_v \Vi:hho(;dlng its assent to the 5 barliament and registration bills, the ++ COSTUME FOR HER ** OUR SPECIAL—*“California,” all wool Blankets, have no equal any- where at the price, $4.50 to_$8.00.

Comparison With America. C- “cerning the people who made a ccmparison with America during the Civil war, .the. “Chronicle” argues stimulated by extravagant bounties. The ‘“Chronicle” adds that: *“Our voluntary army in one year exceeded in number all the men recruited by the federal government in the four years of the war, and that without drafts to force them, or bounties to bribe them.” TWO BANK ROBBERS SHOT BY CASHIER Latter Escapes After Being Thrown Into Vault and Overtakes Bandits Near Railroad Station, Grant, Okla., Dec. 28.—After hav- ing been thrown into the bank vault with his hands tied by two youths who yesterday robbed the bank of Grant of $4,000, Cashier Webb slipped out of his bonds, intercepted the bandits and shot and badly wounded both, The robbers, whose names of- ficers gave as Claude Jones, aged 23, and Arthur McFarland, aged 17, were taken to jail at Hugo last night.

The latest ground for complaint of this sort was supplied by the cap- which a French cruiser took into and ammunition for munitists in India. without passport admitted his German nationality, and is reported to be a fcrmer member of the German con- sular service in China. This steamer sailed from Shanghai, and is alleged tc have carried ammunition cases and arms which were thrown over- board when the French cruiser gave chase. Arsenal to Store Supplies. It has even been charged that the German social club in Shanghai is used as an arsenal for the storage of tupplies to be used in promoting scdition among the colonies of Ger- many’s enemies in the Far East. On e Shameen island at Canton much of the British concession has passed into the hands of German cwners. The presence of these Ger- mans is so distasteful to the British that they endeavored to find a means to expel them. This plan was vetoed, however, by Sir Edward Grey, the British minister of foreign affairs. It was argued by the British residents on Shameen that the English subjects had no right to transfer their holdings to the subjects of .another nation. China leased this island to the British for one hundred years. Many FEng- listhmen now owning property on the island argued that leases there could be held only by the British subjects, and that a transfer of leases to the Germans was in violation of the treaty between Great Britain and China. Supporting Germany’s Cause. Another cause for irritation has been the circulation of literature sup- porting Germany's cause by Major Dinkelmann, a German officer em- ployed by President Yuan Shi-kai as military adviser. French and English newspapers are clamoring loudly for the dismissal of Major Dinkelmann by the president, and Insist that Presi- dent Yuan Shi-kai should not main- tain a German officer on a princely salary when he is directing a cam- paign against . powers friendly to China. v poured into the rooms of a lodg- ing house on the upper floors ea today.

IN EUROPEAN WAR| BIG LOAN I Charges and Counter-Charges Shanghai, Nov. 20.—Foreign con- cessions in China have been centers of never-ending trouble since the begin- ring of th BEuropean war. As the re- sult of activities of various belliger- erts in these settlements charges and counter charges have been made con- cerning the violation of China’s neu- trality. China is so enmeshed in European treaties that it is always extremely difficult to determine her sctual status with reference to the Furopean powers. Practically every foreign concession was created under different conditions, and the commer- cia] treaties between China and the various powers are so varied that few diplomatists can harmonize them. Newspapers under German control et the treaty ports are constantly charging that China is violating her neutrality by permitting shoes and cther supplies to be shipped from Shanghai for the use of the Russian army. They are also voicing protests ugainst the shipment of supplies for On the other hand, the English and French press are loud in denouncia- tion of German activities which are permitted to continue on Chinese soil ture of the Japanese steamer Iro Saigon under charge of carrying arms A passenger on board this steamer RUSSIA NEGOTIA Transaction for $60,00( Pay for Supplies Now in Stockholm, Dec. 28,—Coni has been received here thal is to negotiate a loan in th States for $60,000,000 for pose of paying for supplies o that country.
