Crosslng Opumynamm —257 Stores in 97 Cities— Fi‘eedom of Action lmpossihle‘ Under Pregent Conditions Peking, May 11.—China is making efforts to free itself from the un- favorable tariff reghlations and other ireaty entanglements waich embarass the country financially and make it impossible for the republic to protect itself against German intrigues. Both the Entente powérs and the neutrals have heen appealed to by tho Chinese government in an effort to gain greater freedom from foreigm in- terferehce in Chinese affairs. The severance of diplomatic rela- tions with Germany afforded an ex- cellent. opportunny for China to press its claim for fair treatment at the hands of the foreign powers. Dr. Wu Ting-fang presented the following memorandum to Dr. Paul S. Reinach, the American minister, in Peking, which ‘15 sald to e virtually’ the same as that presented to the minis- ters of other foreign powers: ‘“With the respect to the share of the United States of America of the indemnity of 1901, it 1s ‘hoped that she will, with the good intention of as- sisting China's finances, suspend the payment for = period of ten years, after which period, the anmual pay- ments, according to the original in- stalments, without any addition of In- terest, are to be resumed. “The Chinese government hope. that the United States of America with the good intention of assisting China's finances, will agree to an immediate imposition- of a surtax of 50 per cent. on the present import duty. In the meantime, the Chinese government will revise the customs tariff and aft- er revision, levy an effective seven and omne-hailf per cent duty. “It is hoped that the . provisions contained in the protocol of 1901 and accessory documents which tend to impede the effectiveness of the pre- cautionary measures of the Chinese government vis-a-vis the Germans, that is, those respecting the inability of the Chinese troops to be stationed within & radius of twenty Ii of Tien- tsin and the presence of foreign troops in the legations and along the railway, will be cancelled IRISH GLOCKS ‘AT “0DDS ON THE HOUR| New Regulations Not Complied With by All Citizens |+ Dublin, May 11.—Ireland as a whole Wwaas utterly unprepared for the in- auguration of the summer time clotk this year. Last year, Ireland had its own local time, and the difference be- tween the newly instituted summer time and the local time was only 35 minutes. But this summer the Irish clock already had been legally pushed forward to correspond with . Green- wich time; consequently noon today would have been only 10:35 a. m. be- fore the two alterations. ‘With the double change there Is nothing like general agreement. The Irish are entirely at odds regarding the time of day. For some business purposes in the cities the new time has been accepted willy-nilly. Trains run by it and government offices de- mand it. Several privately and re- ligiously controlled schools also con- form to it, but the commissioners of National Educatiofi have given half an ‘hour's grace for the roll call'in na- tional schools. In the farming communities a con- siderable portion of the population is still going by the old time schedule, on the ground that the earlier time disarranges farm work and the milk- ing of cows. But, in regard to church service the greatest divergence prevails. The Protestant churches, generally have adopted the new time for their serv- ices, but the bishops of several Cath- olic dioceses have directed their clergy to keep to the old time, even. permit- ting themselves to say some sharp things about the Irish members of parliament who allowed the legislation to pass without an exception being made of Ireland. ' The Archbishop of Dublin, Doctor Walsh, however, has adopted the new time for his diocese. The Primate of il Ireland, Cardinal Logue, favors the old time. FXPILODING ADONIS MYTH. London, May 11.—Americans con- nected with the American Mining Company’s works on the Island of Cyprus are defraying all the expenses of archaeological excavations which have been begun at Arsos, near Tremi- thousa. The work is in charge of the Cyprus Museum. The spot chosen is an interesting one, connected with the great, Adonis myth. SHOE FACTORIES CLOSE. Berlin, May 11.—Of 1,400 shoe fac- tories in Germany, 1,070 will be closed this month and the remainder placed under government control.

Petrograd, May 11.—General gondokoff, who has just been pointed chief” of all the Cossack armies, holds a brilliant record of military and administrative experi- ence, and is one of the most popular commanding officers in Russia. He was governor at Blagoveschtchensk during the revolution. The convicts had been released from the local jail Ha- ap- . when he came riding into town from an administrative trip into the country districts. General Hagondokoff as- sembled all the convicts in the cen- tral square of the town, and said to them: ‘““There has been no order in our country heretofore. But now we are going to have order. All must help to this end. And you convicts must obey the law and return to jail.” The conviots,' after a short confer- ence among themselves, obeyed the general's request. ————————— 'RACKLIFFE BROS. o, lnc Selling Agents for New Britain and VMmty 250-256 PARK STREET It's edsy—just as it should be—to buy a Shirt at this shop.
