CHINA MAY NOT H
NATIONAL CONVENTION
Revolutionary Troops May Re
sume Military Activities at
Any Moment
(By Aaaociatad Preas.)
TOKIO, Dec. 27.-Yu*n Bhl Kai’s pro
posal to decide ths form of government
which shall prevail under ths new regime
ia China by means of a convention of
delegates from all over the empire, is re
garded here as a shrewd move, but opin
ion is divided as to whether it can be
successfully carried out. Many promi
nent Japanese believe that the proposal
will be accepted by the revolutionary
leaders In order to make It eakier for
Yuan Shi Kat to impress upon the court
that ths abdication is unavoidable.
On the other hand many of the well
informed here think that the great body
of the revolutionists is too impatient for
action to await the tedious outcome of
a national convention. The revolutionists
are fully aware of the present helpless
ness of the Peking government. With
this in mind, the rebel army at Nanking
may insist upon the refusal of Yuan
Shi Kai's proposal and the Immediate re
sumption of military activity. The sol
diers confidently expect that Yuan will
yield as gracefully as possible whenever
such a demonstration Is made.
Many Imperialists Are
In Favor of Abdication
PEKING, Dec. 27 —Representative mem
bers of the imperial court, according to
an authoritative sourse have signified to
Premier Yuan Shi Kai their willingness
to agree to an abdication. The court,
the same authority states, realizes that
there is no bope for it in the detention
of three or four sections of the
country and semi-loyal provinces, and
hopes to obtain better terms by agreeing
to the proposed referendum of govern
ment.
Premier Yuan Shi Kai fully realises that
the Republican spokesmen gathered at
the peace conference at Shanghai are not
likely to accept his proposition for a
carefully elected assembly representing
the entire empire. He is of ths opinion
that the Republicans know that time will
favor his (Yuan Shi Kai’s) plan.
The premier is certain that he could
win several battles with the modern
army at his disposal, which is better
equipped and greatly superior to the rebel
forces, but as he is unable to obtain
any loans he would be unable to recon
quer the lost provinces.
Yuan Shi Kai in all probability will
resign his office after making the best
terms possible for the throne.
Yuan Shi Kai regrets what he consid
ers to be Tang Shao Yl's desertion. He
suggests that Tang Shao Yi might become
president of the republic, which is an
office himself would not accept. He also
regrets that foreign nations have with
held their financial support, with the help
of which he could have reconquered the
country.
“Republic Would Be
Failure,” Professor Says
PALO AI.TO. Cal., Dec. 27.—"A Re
publican form of government in China
would be an absolute failure. It
would be a calamity to the Chinese

Thus declared today Prof. W. G. Bate
man, of th* Imperial university of
China at Tien Tsin, who arrived yes
terday at his -home here, having beent
driven out of China as a result es ths

"The people of China are more ig
norant than we in America realize," he
continued.
"Their conditions is awful and they
are in no position to govern them

by enlightened despotism."

Smoke of Herbs
Cures Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way
and It Costs Nothing to Try.
This preparation of herbs, leaves,
flowers and berries (containing no to
bacco or habit-forming drugs) is either
smoked In an ordinary clean pipe or
smoking tube, and by drawing the med
icated smoke into the mouth and inhal
ing into the lungs or sending it out
through the nostrils in a perfectly nat
ural way, the worst case of Catarrh can
be eradicated.
it is not unpleasant to use, and at
the same time it is entirely harmless,
and can be used by man, woman or
child.
Just as Catarrh is contracted by
breathing cold or dust and germ-laden
air, just so this balmy antiseptic smok
ing remedy goes to all the affected
parts of the air passages of the head,
nose, throat and lungs. It can readily
be seen why the ordinary treatments,
such as sprays, ointments, salves,
quids or tablet medicines fail—they do
not and can not rsach all the affected
parts.
If you have catarrh of the nose,
throat or lungs, choking, stopped-up
feeling, colds, catarrhal headaches; if
you are given to hawking and spitting;
this simple yet scientific treatment
should cure you.
An Illustrated book which goes thor
oughly into the whole question of the
cause, cure and prevention of catarrh
will, upon request, be sent you by Dr.
J. W. Blosser, 51 Walton street, At
lanta, Ga.
He will, also, mail you five days’ free
treatment. You will at once see that it
is a wonderful remedy, and as it only
costs one dollar for the regular treat
ment, it is within the reach of everyone.
It is not necessary to send any money
—simply send your name and address
and the booklet and free trial package
will be mailed you Immediately.
GRAND JURY MAY
PROBE DALTON ELECTION
DALTON, Ga.. Dec. 26.—The grand
jury, which meets here next Monday
morning, will, in all probability, be
called upon to investigate a number of
Irregularities connected with the re
cent municipal election held here. This
fact came to light here Monday after
noon, following the notice of Judge J.
A. Longley that he will contest the
election for city recorder.
The hints of a wholesale prosecution
however, come from the other side ot
the contest M. C. Tarver, represent-,
ing John R. Tarver, who was named
recorder by a plurality of one over
Judge Langley, in a statement hints at
"certain | matters the grand jury may
be called upon to investigate;’’ but with
the hint he has refused to make any
further statement other than to say
that interesting deevlopments are In
store. Z*
In his notice of a contest served on
John R. Tarver, Judgex Longley alleges
that 16 men who voted for Tarver in
the first ward were not qualified, some
being, he alleges, not registered; others
non-residents; others tax defaulters,
and still others who had not. reached
the voting age.

LONDON, Dec. 26.—The proclamation
of martial law at Teheran, following
the dismissal of W. Morgan Shuster by
the Persian cabinet and The fragment
ary reports received as to a bloody
massacre by Russian soldiery at Resht
are causing serious apprehensions here.
According to latest advices, the main
trouble occurred last Sunday, when
victims at Resht are said to have num
ibere. 600, Including some women ana
children. Direct dispatches from Te
heran make no reference to these se
rious casualties and a report from the
Russian consul at that point states or
der is now restored, although he is pre
paring for further outbreaks.
The strategic point of Tabriz, 350
miles to the northwest of Teheran, Is
another center of constant and serious
collisions between Russian and Per
sian elements. The small force of Rus
sians that has been stationed there for
some time has been recently rein
forced.
The Russian troops have come into
contact on several occasions with the
populace, and one dispatch receiver
says the Russian artillery swept the
streets, while another, through Rus
sian sources, says that a condition ot
anarchy exists, even the banks belntt
without adequate military guards to
protect their funds. The latter is evx
dently a suggestion on the part of the
Russians that a strong military force
Is essential to safeguard vested proper

A SURE WAY TO MAKE MOXEY
Free land* in the United States are gone, but
you can get the best of land In Mexico —free,
all required la to have five acres of banana a
planted within five years. The planting can
be done by authorized Improvement Companies
on the Inatallment plan. Tbe first years
you pay $5 a month. The Company will also
care for and market your bananas on share*,
and your share should be about $-’OO per acre.
Producing banana orchards sell for one thousand
dollarg per acre. Bananas bear in 15 months.
You need not go to Mexico yourself. Persons
living In the United States and Canada can
get particulars regarding free land in Mexico by
addressing The Jantha Plantation Company,
Block 902, Pittsburg, Pa. As people know
nothing of these free lands, 1 thought it my
duty to call their attention to them. Surely no
one would pay three hundred dollars an aero
for fruit lands in the United State* and Canada
when they ctun better land in Mexico free,
and land handy to railroads and market, with
climate and health conditions unaurp»Med.
