the situation seem to be Vienna.
Want Parliamentary Ministry.
Copenhagen, July 10,A German
arriving here last night from Berlin
make the statement that the pur
pose of Herr Erzberger, the Catholic
center party leader, in making his sen
sational speech before the main
committee of the Reichstag on Satur.
day was to secure an abandonment
the submarine campaign, a well
as the proclamation of a peace pro
gram without annexations or indemni
ties.
The majority in the Reichstag has
een practically formed on the basis
these demands which it was
thought would align America and
Russia for peace and powerfully in
fluence France and England. It was
said the same majority has been se
cured for a demand for the institu
tion of a pariamentary ministry, with
Dr. Gustav Stresemann. nationalist,
and Philipp Scheidemann candidate
for portfolios.
Situation Badly Mixed.
Copenhagen, July 10. Although it
difficult to gain a clear impression
of the political crisis in Germany from
conflicting accounts in German papers
nd dispatche tent abroad, Reichstag
leaders were expected to be sitting
this afternoon or evening in council
upon a declaration of policy. This,
according to some, would decide the
fate of Chancellor von Bethmann
Hollweg and the present govern
mental system, while others declare it
woe Id end the whole crisis.
Should the party leaders in confer
ence, wherein only radical socialists
and conservatives were not repre
sented. reach an agreement, the deci
sion will be presented, according to
the Vosslche Zeitung, in the form of
caving the chancellor the alternative
of accepting them or facing rebellion
in the Keichstag, which will vote to
dlourn if it -finds co-operation with
the chancellor impossible. ,
Ersbercer Arouses Keventlow.
The Hamburg- Fremdenblatt which
yesterday said that the entire clerical
party in the Keichstag with the excep
tion of three member had voted to
support the stand of Herr Erzberger,
now corrects it previous announce
ment regarding the clerical's vote,
saying the party hat taken no deci-
lon.
In pursuance of it policy of ex
tending the influence of the German
press, big businesj interest under
Krupp leadership have purchased the
radical VYeser Ztitunir. one ot tne Old
est Bremen newspapers, and will make
it like the recently purchased Kerim

ment at Nanking had, in accordance
with the constitution, announced the

monarchist princes from Peking under
surveillance. . 1
Chang Asks Safety.
It also is stated that Chang Hsun,
in Peking, is negotiating for guaran
tees for personal safety.
Chang Hsun's choice of the imperial
city and the Temple of Heaven as his
place of refuge after his desperate
project had been wamped by a wave
of universal republican, opposition
confirms the belief here that he in
tends to hold China's priceless edifice
as a pawn for his own personal safety.
The Temole of Heaven, a large en
closed space dotted with blue-domed
temples, was the scene of the most
sacred worshipping under the old im
perial regime, wnue me imperial city
is filled with irreplaceable relics of old
China.
Royal Troop Withdrawn.
General Chang Hsun. leader of the
attempt to restore the Manchw dy-
nasty m tnina, was reponcu uy mini
ster Reinsch today to have withdrawn
his troooa into the Imperial City and
the Temple of Heaven, the two most
historic and beautiful sections of
Peking. Loyal troops of the republic
surround the city and complete
destruction of the monarchist move
ment i considered only a matter of
a short time. Uninterrupted com
munication with, Tien Tsin was
restored July 8.

Peking. July .10.-(Via Tien Tsin,)
The western army under General
Tsa Kun, military governor -of Chi
LI, is now within a few miles of the
City, while the forces of General
Chuan Chi-Kwein are a few miles
southeast of the capital. Heavy artil
lery fire can be heard in that direction.
Troops from Kalgan, a town in Chi Li
province, have been placed in position
to cut off General Chang Hsun's re
treat toward the northwest. Heavy en
gagements are expected.
Bombs were again dropped on the
imperial palace by an airplane of the
republicans. Foreign reinforcements
have arrived. Arrangement have been
made whereby troop trains daily will
be permitted between Peking and
Tien Tsin each way, subject to search.
Casualties Are Small.
Although there was much noise at
the battle of Lang Fang and republi
cans report the killing of 500 im
perialist and the wounding of numer
ous others, foreign eye witnesses es
timate total casualties at ten on each
side, ' 6
A reward of $100,000 has been
placed on Chang Hsun, dead or aliye.
Lein Chf Chao, chief counsellor of
Tuan Chi Jui, leader of the republi
can forces, says there is no question
of any compromise with Chang Hsun,
as the republicans are determined fin
ally to overthrow him.
Tuan Chi Jui. interviewed at, lien
Tain, is optimistic. He believes the
imperialist movement will collapse in
the next twenty-tour Hours.
Feng Kuo Chang President.
He received a telegram from Feng
Kuo Chang announcing that he has
assumed the temporary presidency.
Negotiations are under way tor the
surrender of Chang Hsun's Suchow
Fu forces. The co-operation of the
navy is being arranged. According to
reports, Chang Hsun's whereabouts
at Peking is unknown. He has urged
the emperor to .take personal com
mand. A train bearing monarchist wounded
has arrived. They said the monar
chists were still in retreat. A repub
lican airplane dropped bombs on Feng
Tai. There were tour civilian casual
ties. Fighting is soon expected at Yung
Ting, toward which point some of the

need is for convalescent hospitals
where the men can be nursed back

JAPANESE MISSION
HAS WIDE POWERS
Former Minister Says It Ex
pects to Discuss War Prob
lems and All Questions
Between Nations.
Tokio, Friday, July 6. (Delayed.)
An euthusiastic farewell dinner was
given tonight by the American-Japan
society in honor of Viscount Kiku
jiro Ishii, head of the mission soon to
visit the United States.
Despite the indefatigible efforts ot
the Germans to bring about discord
between Japan and the United States,
said Viscount Ishn, the two countries
are now practically allied making
common front against Germany.
"My mission I consider is a mili
tary one in one respect," continued
the viscount, "and one of peace in an
other military, as against the cen
tral European system of militarism
and domination, but one of peace to
be consolidated and reaffirmed as
between Japan and the United
States."
After tracing the benefits of the
exchanges of visits between Ameri
cans and Japanese, Viscount Ishii
concluded:
"It is gratifying to think of one
great benefit with which the war has
already endowed Japan and the
United States. I mean the disappear
ance of Germany in this quarter of
the world. Now that Germany, the
universal disturber of the peace, has
been completely and once and for all
out of its Asiatic bases there re
mains no longer any one who will
venture to cherish the design of
estranging Japan and America. Con
sequently, the Pacific henceforth will
have the noble destiny to join the two
great nations and never to separate
them."
Viscount Kentaro Kaneko, a mem
ber of the House of Peers and a
privy councilor, who presided at the
dinner, emphasized the nobility and
uprightness of the attitude of the
United States which he said was
fighting for individual liberty, na
tional freedom, peace and civilization
of mankind.
"A clear understanding with the
United States is most important for
the present and the future," he added.
"This must be the aim of Viscount
Ishii's mission."
Former Minister Hioki expressed
the opinion that in addition to the
questions of the day, all questions of
any importance existing between the
United States and Japan would not
escape either settlement or discussion
while Viscount Ishii was in America.
The mission was a difficult one be
cause of the vastness of the field and
the complexity of the problems to be
handled, he concluded, but the two
groups would not be throwing dust
into each other's eyes. There would
be plain dealing, just and fair,
actuated by mutual respect and sym
pathy.
