(Correspondence of ths Associated Press
r'EHlNU, July 31. president Yuan
Shl-Ksl uttered at a recent cabinet
meeting an Impreenlve plea for united
action in China, which made a deep
Impression upon Chinese officials.
Its publication In English today
caused much discussion among for
eigners. The Peklnr Oaiette charac
terises the address as "couched in tbe
usual language of orer-empbaals, '
but makes no attempt to discount the
seriousness of the dishonesty and In
efficiency of Chinese officials which
the president denounced as a great
menace to the republic at a time
when outside pressure Is threatening.
"Our susoralnty in southern Manchuria
has gradually (one into th hand of f or
al nor, said the president "The for
eign sggTessor haa com t. their doora,
but our peopla are still dallying in the
mldiit of a calamity- As I am advanced
In age and have received tho sacred and
weighty trust from tha Tslng dynasty,
how can I let tha country go to ruin
w'.ien I am assuming the duties of chief
executive of the republic t Fy all means,
I must save the country. To avert the
Impending disaster is the Barred duty
which lie upon the shoulders of every
oaa of us."
President Tuan flhl-Kl is lees than 60
years old and In tha best of health, con
sequently hla allusion to his old age is
largely figurative.

'Sorrow comes Into my heart whenever
1 revtew our present situation," were the
opening words of the president' appeal
to tha cabinet. "It seems to me that the
general policy of the nations of the world
is to conquer a weak country, to invade
tha country which has forfeited tho con
fidence of tho other nations, lo force
order upon the country which Is In a
state of chaos, and to take ever by force
the country which Is on the verge of
ruin. In other words, as many foreigner!
claim, it la the heavenly duty for the
strong and civilised nation to annex and
control a nation which is barbarous or
seml-dvillsed.
"Our country does not manlfrst any sign
of Instability, chaos, or the lack of con.
fldence of other nations and It la most
unlikely that any nation, for tha present,
will Invade or Insult our country. But
when we think of the neglect of dlsclpllna
by our soldiers, tbe irregularities In ad
ministrative affairs, tha calamities of
floods and drought throughout the prov
inces, the eelftshness of some officials
and the lack of publlo spirit among the
people, we cannot help realising the fact
that we are enjoying ourselves while re
posing on a bed of straw with a kindling
fire beneath It liow many of ua knew
the strength of our nation, the tendencies
ot our people and the general condition
of "the world? What portion of our
country has been free from tha disturb
ince and molestation of the bandit and
outlaws, and what percentage of the of
ridals are enthusiastic and strictly carry
UK out their dutyT"

After deploring what he regarded as the
many shortcomings of China, the prest
icnt continued:

The war and war prospects are
forgotten and crops alone act as tbe
barometer that governs the buying
activities of the merchants who are
mending the merchants' market
week in Omaha. This Is the second
day of that week of festivities and
business activity, and "00 merchants
are In from twelve states.
Wives and families accompany many
of them, so that a total of over 1.00J
persons are In Omaha already and the
entire crowd together with 250 whole
salers of Omaha went to Lake Manawa
this afternoon in chartered cars to spend
the afternoon and evening in rowing
and fishing, athletic sports and dancing.
The wholesalers declsre this Is a good
buying crowd that they talk no war at
all and that crops of Nebraska alone
hold the center of their attention. They
now feel assured of a corn crop, and as
