BANDITS RULE IN MANCHURIAN TOWN Russia Striving to Send Out Un- Welcome Mongolians Hailar, Manchuria, Aug. 16—Cor- respondence of The Associated Press. —Officials of the Russian government are endeavoring to induce the Mongo- lian outlaws who have seized this city to abandon their depredation and return to Mongolia. For more than two months the Mongolians have been in virtual pos- session of this large municipality.

Crawford Boilers are also economical. They give more heat per pound of coal than any other boiler. The deep, roomy fire box is responsible. It insures a dependable, slow-burning fire — with plenty of reserve capacity—that is not overtaxed in zero weather.

Foreigners have not been interferred with to any extent by the Mongolians, but Chinese and Chinese property are absolutely under their sway. The invading party numbers about 5,000. When they first arrived here they carrled the red flag of the Rus- sian revolutionists and declared they were in sympathy with the republican movement in Russia. When the Chinese boy emperor was put back upon. the throne in China, the out- laws announced they were Chinese monarchists and flew the yellow flag of the monarchy over Hailar. They are now flying the red and yellow flags together, and profess to be- lieve that the boy emperor is still on the Chinese throne. Belgians Flee Into Holland. Paris, Aug. 30.—According to 2 telegram from Havre, where the Bel- gian government is temporarily lo- cated, about 150 Belgians have suc- ceeded in crossing the frontier inte Holland and freedom in a curious manner. The German military authorities had decided to have certain trees cut down because they interferred with the view of the sentries placed along the barbed wire fencing and the cable which, charged with a strong electric current, prevent persons from escaping from Belgian territory. One hundred and fifty inhabitants of Sel- zaete were requisitioned and ordered to work at cutting down the trees. The improvised three-cutters suc- ceeded in doing their work in such a way that several trees fell across the barbed wire and the electrif cable, and made a wide, safe open- ing. Then they proceeded to trans- fer themselves to Duteh territory, ac- companied by their five Gérman guardians, who had long grown tired of their duty and were only too pleased to desert, bag and haggage. French Go Insane in German Camps. Paris, Aug. 30.—A train of 201 French officers and men arrived at Lyons recently—prisoners repatriated from Germany. Of these, not fewer than 155 were out of their minds. Their reason had gone probably under some terrific shell bombard- ment, lcaving them often without any bodily injury, incapable of any men- tal effort. One, a typical example, was a sec- ond lieutenant, apparently 22 or 23 yvears old. He was calm and quiet, but unable to reply to a question. On his tunic was pinned a card with the words ‘“Picked up, without a wound, at- , 1914." These unfortunates have heen in- terned at Lyons, and their photo- graphs are to be circulated through- out the country in the hope of iden. tifying them, so that those who na doubt have long mourned them, as lost forever, may perhaps be able to win them back from their living tombs.

Press.) Pcking, August 25.—Li Yuan-hung, once President of the Chinese Repub- | lic, possesses today less power here | than the lowliest coolie. He is a pris- { oner in the capital of the land over which he once ruled and for the first | time in many years he holds no office and except for that of Prince Wu Yi, he holds no title. | Tt is Li Yuan-hung's desire to { leave Peking and seek rest in Tien- i tsin, but the Government has repeat- | edly denied this request. Premier | Tuan Chi-jul and Acting President Feng Kwo-chang apparently have no intention of allowing the veteran warrior to depart for any settlement where he would be in a position to communicate with the revolutionists |in the south. The Government is said to realize how potent the name of Li Yuan-hung would be were he to be made President cf a southern Re- | public such as Sun Yat-sen, Tang | Shao-yi, C. T. Wang and other Kuom- intang leaders are endeavoring to es- tablish in Canton. Since he surrendered the presiden- Cy a month ago and allowed General Chang Hsun to take over the central government, Li Yuan-hung has divid- ed his time tetween the French hos- pital and his home in Tartar City, without the walls of the Forbidden City. He also took refuge for a short time in the Japanese Legation, and he handsomely rewarded the Japan- ese soldiers and officers who protect- ed him in the trying period when the republicans were ousting the boy em- peror, Hsuan Tung, and overthrow- ing the shott-lived monarchy set mup by Chang Hsun. | Became Suddenly TiL. Li Yuan-hung's illness was not se- rious enongh to make his retirement to the hospital But the French Hespital is in the Legation Quarter. It is under the protection of the foreign guards. And Li Yuan- hung was not the only Chinese who was ailing at the time conditions were so usettled outside of the foreign set- tlement. Hotels, hospitals, legations | and private houses within the Lega- tion Quarter were filled to overflow- ing when Tuan Chijui’s troops moved against Peking on July 12. During the years that Li Yuan-hung served as vice president under Yuan Shih-kai his position was much the same that it is at present. It is true he then held the title of vice presi- dent, but it was a shallow honor. He had no power. He had no freedom. Most of those vears were passed in na isalated palace on an island in the Forbidden City. He was seldom per- mitted to leave the walled compound. No visitors saw him without the per- mission of the sli-powerful Yuan Shih-kai, whe lived on the maj in a palace Li Yuan-hung c across the lotus-covered lake. The central government's power today apparently grows stronger every hour. It has the support of the great foreign powers. They have no thought of recognizing a strugglin band - of parliamentarians in the south who have only the lukewarm support of provinces south of the Yang-tze. All hope of reconvening in a legal way the parliament which Li Yuan- hung dissolved under pressure has apparently disappeared. The Kuo min tang, or party which is opposed to Premier Tuan Chi-jui and Presi- dent Feng Kwo-chang and their gov- ernment, controls far less than a guor- om of the disbanded parliament. Con- sequently, even if they could muster their complete strength at Canton under Sun Yat-sen and Tang Shao- vi, they would not, it is declared, have enough to satisfy their demands for government strictly under the condi- tions of the Nanking provisional constitution. Compromises have already ° been suggested by various leaders who are endcavoring to harmonize the north and the south. Guilds, chambers of commerce and other commercial or- ganizations are tired of the political strife. Overseas Chinese are not lih- eral in their gifts to the southern necessary. i leaders and lack of money may pre- vent the southern movement from aking on great proportions. The action of the Japanese banks in advancing the Peking government $10,000,000, Mexican money, on a possible loan of $100,000,000 Mexi- can, to be made by the old quintuple group of bankers, has relicved the temporary financial embarrassment of Premier Tuan Chi-jui and steadicd ! {he politicl situation in the north. Within two months President Feng Kwo-chang is expected to be able to convene a provisional national coun- cil, or legislative body, composed of five members from cach province. This makeshift organization will ar- range for an election and the draft- ing of a permanent constitution. Rearranging the Seasons. (Syracuse Post-Standard.) Light Winter—October, November, December.
