FORMAL MANDATE ISSUED Prospect That China Would He Kx cludoU From Peace Conference and Lose Voice as to Ki.au Cliau Strong Factor. PEKIX, March 22. A state depart ment mandate issued toniffht an nounced the abandonment of the mon archy and resumption of the republic. The mandate says the revolution shows that the demand for a mon archical form of government is not unanimous and that therefore Yuan Sshi Kai rejects the emperorship and re sumes the presidency. The imperial documents, the mandate-' adds, will be returned by Yuan Shi Kal to the state council, which will re convene at the senate, preparatory to the resumption of the republic. Secretary Ite-Bntrn Cabinet. Hsu Shih Chans, who left the cab inet because of the monarchical move ment, signed the mandate as secretary of state, having re-entered the cabinet. WASHINGTON.-March 22. In the downfall of Yuan Shi Kai's plans for making himself Emperor hope is seen in official and diplomatic circles here for early restoration of peace in China and maintenance of the status quo in the Far East during the European war. Press dispatches announcing the abandonment of the proposed mon archy occasioned no prreat surprise, al though there had been no report of the action either to the State Department or the Chinese legation and recent dis patches had not indicated that the step was imminent. Yunnan Lone tn Revolt. The province of Yunnan, rebelling ncainst the overthrow of the republic has been maintaining" its independence of the central government for months, and reports of disconcert and revolt have come thick and last from the southern district. In addition to this state of affairs at home Yuan has faced powerful oppo sition to his plans from the outside. Great Britain, Japan and Russia have extended pressure to prevent any gov ernmental change at this time. Yuan had expected to proclaim the monarchy and ascend the throne before the beginning of the new year. When, the time came, however, it was an nounced that the proclamation had been postponed indefinitely and unoffi cially it was eaid that there would be no change In- government until the war was over. It was understood the prospect that China would be barred from the peace negotiations in which the final disposition of Kiau Cb.au will be determined was an important factor in influencing the postponement. Monorchia! Power I'x r rci Med. Since Yuan dissolved the assembly he virtually ha been exercising the powers of a monarch, but in its rela tions with the outside world China has Ttot ceased to be a republic. The lega tion here still is accredited from the Republic of China and the Minister, Dr. Koo, acts in the name of the republic and the President. The United States Government has played no part in the diplomatic ex changes at Pekin regarding the pro posed change. Great Britain, Japan and Russia' sought American co-operation in their opposition, but the Wash ington Administration declined to ex press either approval or disapproval of Yuan's plans. The State Department took the position that the United-States with propriety could not interfere in the internal affairs of a sovereign state. The fact that the American Government so cordially welcomed China into the world's family of repub lics had been relied upon by the Kuro pean powers to influence it to interest itself in the new situation. SAN FRANCISCO. March 22. Offi cials of the Chinese Republic Associa tion, which has been actively financing the opposition to Yuan Shi Kai, said here today that the announcement from Pekin means that the revolution is at an end. The association has a mem bership in the Americas of about 300,000. ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPH OF ZEPPELIN RAID OVER LONDON. Postmasters Are Xa med. OREGONIAX NEWSBUREAU, Wash ington, March 22.

QUICK ACTION IS URGED Editors Say Earl of Derby's Plan Has Not Given Numbers Ite quirert for Campaign of Sum- 4 uier and Early Autnmn. LONDON". March 22. In along article, in which he emphasizes the necessity for the immediate calling up of all available soldiers, the Yrimes military correspondent- says: "The gravity of the recruiting failure has not been explained to the country by government speakers, and unless the consequences of this failure are faithfully explained the Ministers are not likely to obtain that stronjj public support which they must surely desire for the drastic measures that are need" ed to secure victory. "The state of the army in Vegard to numbers is critical. Leaving aside the colonial contingents, we have 70 di visions at home and abroad. In order to complete these divisions and main tain them in the field our need at the beginning of the year was 1,400,000 men. EHtimate Proves UluaorT- "It was hoped that the Karl of Derby's scheme would give us this number, but the estimates proved il lusory and the whole fabric of our military power is now consequently threatened. "These 1,400.000 men must be found as soon as possible, because the oper ations will reach the maximum of vio lence during the Summer and early Autumn. The minimum of four months is needed for training, so we must get the men intotraJning Immediately." The writer in conclusion urges the cancellation of all certified trades or exempted employments and the adop tion immediately of general military service for the period of the war for all men of military age, whether mar ried or unmarried. Akujuith'a Helnrna tion l'osnlhle. The Mornins Tost in an editorial notes that the Liberal party's war com mittee yesterday passed a resolution to the effect "that as the number of single men provided for under the com pulsion act is insufficient to-meet the national requirements the principle of compulsion should be extended to the married men." The editorial adds that the passage of any such measure in the House of Commons would mean the resignation of Premier Asquith. inasmuch as the Premier declared a few eeks ago that any further extension of compulsion would have to be carried out by a Gov ernment of which he was not a mem ber. The Daily Kxpress says all the re maining groups of married men who enrolled under the Xerby act will be called out next Saturday or Monday. whose energy and creative force brought to glorious realization the words of our Emperor that a strong fleet was an urgent necessity for us, but at the same time as the German statesmen who first and most clearly recognised Kngland's purpose to de stroy her peaceful German rival, and who was determined to meet this pur pose with all force and by ruthless cm. ployment of all means at our disposal. "The overwhelming majority of our people feel themselves therein one with the creator and organizer of our navy. Although the people repose un shakable trust in the supreme com manders, apprehensions are widespread that the retirement of the grand admiral is connected with his attitude on this question, and statements of newspapers whose connection with governmental circles is known to have confirmed this interpretation." AMSTERDAM, via London, March 22. The Tageblatt, of Berlin, protests against what it terms the anti-government campaign to obtain signatures to petitions and otherwise to create a tremendous demonstration in favor of intensified submarine warfare. Tile Tageblatt asserts waiters in restau rants and cafes go from table to tab'e In effort to obtain signatures to t'ae petitions.

Retirement of Admiral Declared to Have Evoked Apprehension of Im portant Coming Events. BERLIN, via London, March 22. The Tapes Zeitung, Taeglieche Rundsachau, Post and Kreuz Zeitung publish the following manifesto on their first pages: "In view of the treatment which the resolutions now before the Reichstag regarding ar against commerce have experienced, owing to officially inspired utterances, we feel ourselves compelled in harmony with a great number of leading German newspapers to make the following declaration: "The political events of the last few days have evoked in the German peo ple apprehension of important events.

Replying to the formal protest or the United States against the seizure of American securi ties, the British government will give to Ambassador Page an informal interim answer in which Great Britain will assert the right to make such seizures because their sale by Germans gives them credit and this places the bonds In the same category as gold shipments. Ambassador Page has presented sev eral specific complaints to the British foreign office in behalf of American claimants of the seized Recurties, but no reply showing what disposition the British government intends to make in these cases has yet been received. It is understood the Ambassador will press for an early reply. There is a disinclination in official circles to make any statement regard ing the possible fate of these seized securities, as they constitute a con traband case which has no precedent, and the government here unquestion ably is alarmed by the threat of Ameri can owners of the seized certificates to have them rendered scraps of paper by petitioning the American courts to compel the Issuing corporations to re place them with new isnues.

Abandonment of Czernowitz. capital of Bukowipa, by the Austrians, is . reported in an unof ficial wireless dispatch received here today from Rome. - PETROGRAP, via London. March 22. The Russian operations on the north ern front promise to develop into the most serious movement undertaken by either side. in this theater of war since Field Marshal von Ilindenburg's cam paign against Dvlnsk last Autumn. Taking advantage of the German pre occupation of Verdun, the Russian staff decided to anticipate possible German plans for an offensive In the Dvinsk region by a series of maneuvers, whioh, if successful, will not only make it im possible for them to institute the ad vance they apparently intended, but will forcia them out of thq positions now held. The position of the German forces takes the form of ah. are, extending into Russian territory. This align ment makes the line particularly sus ceptible to flanking attacks north and south of Dvinsk. These, as officially announced, already have begun. In the region of Lake Naroes the Russians advanced along a. 10-mile front, threatening the Vilna railroad and German communications with Dvinsk. It is unofficially reported tlrat this movement was accompanied by maneuvers against the Northern Ger man flank in the neighborhood of Freiderichstadt. The effect of these two attacks. If successfully executed, will be to squeeze the German; from their extend ed position before Dvinsk and convert the present arc into a straight line from Friedrichstadt to Svientsiany. k5H' " ;!j lmr I. -4 : til f hi I . y These Prices Will Interest You TWO TORPEDOES SEEN TIBAXTIA'S OFFICERS SAY VESSEL WAS STRUCK TWICE. IlritlNh N'sval Officials Convinced Aet AVnM Committed by German De stroyer, Not Submarine. S5 . . LONDON, March 22. The sinking of the Dutch liners Tubantia and Palem bang still Is receiving much attention in naval circles. The latest develop ment is in the form of a report from the captain of the Palembang to the Admiralty which gays that his ship. was struck fore and aft by two torpedoes. He also expresses the belief that another torpedo, which failed to ex plo1, i.!t amidships. This report is based on statements by the chief officer and boatswain, who swore they saw the streaks made by both torpedoes. The liner almost stopped, when the first warning of trouble came in the form of a blow amidships, the depositions say, but an examination showed no damage. A moment later the forward bulkhead blew in, and this was followed almost immediately by an explosion aft. Naval officers here are quoted as saying that the Germans may be quite correct in their announcement that no Gorman mines- or submarines were at the time so near the Dutch coast as the spot where the Tubantia went down, as they are convinced she was sunk by a torpedo fired by a German destroyer. They refuse to disclose any evidence which leads to this conclusion, but point out that the Dutch tanker Artemis was torpedoed In the vicinity by a German torpedo boat, Germany later admitting and apologizing for the act.
