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 hation If a republic is established. ’ Thus declared today Prof. W. G.

"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 selves. Ths Bation can be saved only 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..

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.
