China At Work On a New
Constitution For The Republic
PEKING, September 16.-Member ,
of the constitution drafting committee
of ten named by the Chinese Senate to
frame a permanent constitution for
the republic are gathering here for
their first formal meeting. Dr. Frank
J. Goodnow, president of Johns Hop
kins University and constitutional ad
viser to the President of China, has
been in frequent conferences with the
committee, together with Dr. W. F.
Willoughby, formerly of the Prince
ton University faculty, who has suc
ceeded Dr. Goodnow as resident ad
viser.
It is expected that the new constitu
tion will be completed by the end of
the present year, when it will go to
the Senate for its approval. After the
Senate passes the constitution it is to
be submitted to a citizen's conference
which the president will convoke. Af
ter the conference has approved the
constitution the president will “pro
mulgate and enforce" it. Meantime
there is to be no publicity as to the
terms of the new constitution. A wars
ing has been issued by the president to
the newspapers that they are not ta
divulge any of the terms of the new
document until it becomes the official
constitution of the republic.
At present China is governed by the
president under a revised provisional
constitution prepared by a provisiona.
constitution conference. Power is so
thoroughly centralized in tire presi
dent under this constitution that *
Chinese newspapers in all sections of
the country are finding fault with the
‘‘one-man" government and urging
that the permanent constitution shall
decentralize power. The recent crisis,
when Japan was making demands up-1
on China, is cited by many papers as
an illustration of the folly of having a
president who is all powerful.

tell President Yuan Shi Kai he, and he
alone, was the Chinese government
and must give an immediate answer
to its demands.
This comment from the Peking
Daily Gazette is typical of the attitude
of the Chinese press on the constitu
tional drafting: “We are on the eve ol
settling the great rules that shall se
cure national stability and domestic
peace in China. It may not be out of
place to transcribe here the words of
two profound jurists, who at the end
of a joint study of the greatest of
British constitutional documents—
Magna Charta —declared: ‘With all its
faults this document rightly becomes
sacred text, the nearest approach to
an irrepealable fundamental statute
that England has ever had. In brief, it
means this —the king is and shall be
below the law.’ ”
"I WANT I CITY FELLOW”
GIRL WRITES ON AN EGG
WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 16.
While sorting over a carton of eggs
he had purchased, Guy Hanby, a clerk
in the office of the recorder of deeds,
came across one on which was written
this message:
“Will some one who receives this
egg please write to Sadie S. Smith, gen
eral delivvery, Stroudsburg, Pa? I am
18 years old, and my friends say I am
very pretty. It is very lonely up here
on the farm, and I would like to meet
some nice fellow from the city."
Hanby has not yet decided whether
he will comply with the young wo
-1 man's request, but thirteen of his
1 bachelor friends have carefully copied
the address written on the shell of
theegg.
COMMERCE PMPLE
FORECAST EFFECT
OF WAR ON 0. S.
WASHINGTON, September 15
How every phase of American indus
try has been benefitted by the world
war was outlined in an official state
ment today by the Department of
Commerce forecasting the effect of
the conflict on the industrial future of
the country.
“The blow in the face received by
-American industries through condi
tions brought about by the European
war has acted as a tonic, has forced
the nation to create new branches and
enlarge the scope of existing phases
of manufacture, opened the way to
utiliz, on a vast scale, great natural
resources of the United States, and in
duced manufacturers and merchants
to expand their markets into foreign
fields with prospects of permanent re
sults," says the statement.
“American ingenuity has been ap
plied with success to the making of
articles previously imported, and
among those who have shown con
spicuous ability in meeting the situa
tion, an important place is given to
Thomas A. Edison, ‘America’s scien
tific wizard,’ who has had a great part
in the enterprise and initiative requir
ed to build, at a moment’s notice,
some of the new American manufac
tures required by the emergency.
“A review of the chief industries
ministering particularly to the tem
porary needs of the belligerents across
the Atlantic shows that the final out
come will be a very material addition
to the manufacturing plant of the
United States. Part of this plant will
be simply anticipatory of the normal
growth of the country’s mechanics:
equipment; part must lie idle in time
of peace, but is a distinct asset in the
national preparation for an adequate
defence against attack; the remainder
furnishes at once products needed in
the healthy expansion of the chemical
industry of the country.
“Less conspicuous and spectacular,
but of far greater permanent value, is
the impulse given to the manufacture
on American soil, with American raw
materials, of a variety of articles for
which we have hitherto been depend
ent upon foreign skill and enterprise.
In a more or less uncomfortable way.
we have suddenly been brought to
recognize the unwisdom, the folly, of
shipping vast amounts off the crude
material of our farms, forests, and
mines 3,000 miles across the ocean
anad buying it back in a manufactured
form at a vastly enhanced price. We
have likewise come to recognize the
absurdity of allowing many natural
products of the tropics, of South Am
erica, of the Far East, to find their
way to Europe, and of paying foreign
intelligence and skill to transform
them into articles of daily need in our
lives.
“American ingenuity, adaptation
inventive talent, scientific attain •
ments, and general enterprise have
promptly rallied to meet wide-spread
demands, and establish on our own
soil the permanent manufacture of a
number of wares, some of minor, oth
ers of major importance. The retur i
of peace will see them well rooted and
able to withstand foreign competition.

DEMAND FOR RECRUIT
GROWING INSISTENT
IN JR AUSTRALIA
EVERY INDUCEMENT BEING OF
FERED TO HAVE AUSTRALIAN'S
ENLIST FOR SERVICES OF
EVERY KIND.
MELBOURNE. Australia, Sept. 16.
Everything possible is now being done
to get more recruits in Australia—
everything short of conscription it
self. There are, after a year of the
waar, 90,000 Australians under arms,
either in the firing line at the Dardan
elles or in training camps, but instead
of there being any let up in the call
for men, the demand for them grows
mor e and more insistent.
Although the Ministry of Defense
denies that it looks to conscription, a
census of unmarried men has just been
taken by the police of the various
states to determine the fighting
strength. The result of this has not
been made public. The campaign to
enlist volunteers, however, takes on
new vigor each day. There are speech
es by civil and military authorities
there are newspaper appeals; there
are huge advertising posters, there
are parades, and there is even the dis
play of wounded soldiers—all to tho
same end. In this state (Victoria) a
recruiting campaign covering the last
three weeks of July resulted in more
than 18,000 enlistments, a number
which, it is pointed out, equals the
strength of the entire Australian force
which was sent to Egypt last Novem
ber. The fact that New South Wales
is in virtually all things a rival of
Victoria—in some ways jealously so—
figures to a certain extent in a recruit
ing campaign which is now in pro
gress there.
Business houses all over Australia
are making it easier for young men in
their employ to enlist by either keep
ing up their pay or promising them
their old places if they return; and to
induce men—even with dependents—
to join the colors, the press is by re
quest of the military authorities print
ing almost daily the liberal rates of
pay for Australians on active service
and the pensions which will be paid
the disabled and the relatives of
such officers and privates as may be
killed.
But the chief appeal is to patriotism
and never have the Antipodes seen
such a widespread and ardent use as
nowadays of the Union Jack of the
Empire and the southern cross of the
young Australian Federation. The
government will have comparatively
little trouble in clothing the greatly
augumented number of volunteers, but
it will have considerable difficulty in
arming them. It is not improbable
that it will have to have the assist
ance of the Imperial Government in
this respect.
Meanwhile wounded men are be
ginning to be brought back all the wav
from the Gallipoli peninsular in fair
numbers. By November it is likely
that with cooler weather in the Red
Sea Tiiiny more will be returned home
Elaborate preparations have been
made for the care and treatment of
these soldiers. In order to raise funds
for this, July 30 was chosen as “Aus
tralia Day” and every conceivable
method of obtaining and soliciting
contributions was employed on that
rate from one end of the Common
wealth to the other. Melbourne and
Sydney resembled nothing so much as
huge county fairs. The result of the
patriotic charity was a sum which at
this writing—with the returns not yet
in from many sections—amounts to
nearly $4,000,000.

courts must decide whether a flivver

It all arose when J. T. Jasper came
