ACTION OF JAPAN ALARMS CHINESE Tokfo's Warning Gives to Rebels Much Encouragement SERIOUS OUTCOME SEEMS INEVITABLE Movement to Restore Monarchy Now Beyond Stopping -Vote Must Be Continued as Planned. Pekln, China While outward calm prevails in Pekin, Japan's communica tion has caused excitement in official circles, ss it is feared this is only a prelude to further action. It is in comprehensible to the Chinese why Japan chose .the present moment to hand in the communication, as the secret service must have informed the Tokio government two months ago that a monarchy was surely coming. The communication is more likely to cause trouble than to prevent it, by encouraging the revolutionists with the idea that foreign powers are against the restoration of the mon archy, and thus strengthening the op position to it Foreigners and Chinese realize that the restoration movement has gone so far that it is impossible to stop it. Japan's action is all the more strange, considering that Premier Okuma a fortnight ago said that the restoration of the monarchy was China's domestic affair, that it bad been decided on and that he was convinced it would be brought'' about peacefully. The Chinese government, he said, was fully able to control any situation which might arise and Japan had no right to interfere. In some quarters Japan's communi cation is considered an impertinence. It is said here that the Russian min ister bad not received any intimations from his home government, but accom panied the Japanese Charge d Affaires, Obata, with the object of fully under standing the situation should compli cations arise. The French minister did not attend, because he was not invited and had no instructions from his home govern ment. Whether the British minister was advised by his government is not known, but it is most significant that before Obata presented the communi cation he waited for the British min ister to speak. Both the British and Russian mln isters remained silent, forcing Obata to read the communication. The elections are still going on, and as no attempt is being made to alter the voting schedule, the monarchy un doubtedly will be decided on. Late December fixed for Nuptials of President Wilson Washington, D. C It was formally announced at the White House Monday that the marriage of President Wilson and Mrs. Norman Gait will take place "near the close of December," and that It will be private, at Mrs. Gait's home here. This statement was issued by Secre tary Tumulty: 'In order to quiet speculation, Pres ident Wilson and Mrs. Norman Gait have authorized the announcement that their marriage will take place near the close of December. Their plans are for a very simple ceremony. It will be quietly performed at Mrs. Gait's residence. No invitations will be issued and it is expected that the only geusts will be the members of the two families." v General Staff Favored. London Simultaneously with the newspaper damands for a smaller cab inet, which apparently resulted In Pre mier Asquith adopting as a compro mise the constitution in definite form of an inner war council, there has arisen in various influential quarters an advocacy of a creation of a general staff on the German plan. The Week ly Nation, in an article on this subject, says it believes the lack of such a body has been responsible for all the graver errors of the war. It points out the advantages attained by the Germans. Rich Perfumer Punished. Montpelier, France Henry Racine, a millionaire perfume distiller, hss been sentenced by a courtmartial here to five years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of 20,000 francs (14.000) for having supplied essence of nerolltoa firm of perfume manufacturers at Co logne. The court also, ordered goods Belonging to the perfumer to the value of 270,000 francs confiscated. Racine orglnally was sentenced by a courtmar tial to perpetual deportation. He ob tained a reversal of judgment and was sent here for trial by courtmartial. Teutons to Attack Canal. Paris, via Rome The Austo-Ger-mans are preparing a new offensive against the Sues canal, according to an Athens dispatch to the Tribune, which adds that the British have made gigantic preparations to meet such an eventuality.

The experience of Motherhood Is a try. Ing one to most women and marks dis tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one woman in a hundred la prepared or un derstands how to properly care for her self. Of course nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, but many approach the experi ence with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when It Is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following; right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change In the mother results. - There Is nothing more charming than ahappy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The nnexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and With am pie time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonle and Invigorator of the female organitm. In many homes once childless there are now children be cause of the fact that Lydia E. Pink barn's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthy and strong.

Only 45 Out of 2000 Seamen , Pass Test Act Imperils Shipping San Francisco Only 45 out of a total of more than 2000 American sea men in this port who come under the strict requirements of the La Follette seaman's act had qualified before the local Federal steamship inspectors up to the closing of office hours Tuesday. Unless an order comes from Wash ington setting aside the letter of the law and making it flexible In many respects, San Francisco shipping In terests fear that vessels scheduled to depart on the day the law goes into effect will be held in port for want of clearance at the cuBtom house. Collector of Customs J. O. Davis said that no vessel which did not have 40 per cent of its crew list qualified under the new law would receive clear ance papers. San Francisco shipping men mani fested a pertinent interest in the new law in that it possibly meant the hold ing up of vessels at a large pecuniary loss because seamen could not qualify for service. While more than 850 able seamen had qualified before the local inspec tors as to profession examinations, the stickler came in passing the physical examination before the medical exam iners in the United States Marine Hos pital. Launch Wrecked; Two Die. Port Townsend, Wash. The 60-foot powerboat Seeam was wrecked on the north end of Whidby Island in a strong gale Tuesday, and George Bridges, master and owner of the vessel, and a man named Wickersham were drowned. Their bodies and the wrecked launch were found on the beach. A large hole was stove in the Seeam when she struck and she filled with water. The seas carried away the pilot house and stripped the deck of all gear. The Seeam was carrying a cargo of fish from Hood Canal. "Peace Plans" Denied. Madrid, via Paris Premier Dato said Tuesday that he had no official information concerning the report that Prince von Buelow, ex-German chancellor, would come to Madrid to present to King Alfonso an outline of conditions op which Germany might be willing to consider peace ne gotiations. The Overseas News Agency of Ber lin made denial Tuesday of the report that Prince von Buelow had been en trusted with preparations of peace ne gotiations. t Divorce Cases Held Up. London Divorce eases against offi cers and men serving at the front will have to stand over until they return to Great Britain. Such waa the decision of Justice Sir Henry Bargrave . Dean when asked for leave to serve a di vorce petition upon an officer on the fighting line. "It Is not In the interests of the nation," said the court, "for men to have their minds diverted from their duties by such matters." More British Gold Arrives. New York British sovereigns to the amount of 12,226,000 gold, which were shipped on the steamer New York from London to the Guaranty Trust company, were deposited at the assay office Tuesday.

The strong, export " de mand is the feature of the salmon market- Domestic trade has - been good all the season, and. with, foreign business Increasing the situation is entirely satisfactory at this end, and there is every prospect that the. pack will be entirely cleaned up. . ' ' " European orders, heretofore" this sea son have been for medium grades, and a large quantity of Alaska reds and silversides has been disposed of. Now the London trade is becoming Interest ed In fancy Columbia River chlnooks, an inquiry of this kind' having been received yestertayvVA:' The British steasnersjity oruonnin, now loading on the Sound will reach Portland the latter part of the week, and will take on between 6000 and 10,000 cases of salmon here for Lon don. The steamer Tamplco left down the river carrying 250 tons of salmon for west coast points. The steamer Yucatan will reach As toria in a few days with about 86,000 cases of Alaska fish, and the steamer Despatch is also due there from Alas ka with a salmon cargo. All the Port land salmon ships are now in. Eastern salmon orders are also in creasing, a new development of the trade being the booking of new busi ness with Boston. A still heavier ton nage could no doubt be disposed of but for the Interruption of Panama Canal traffic. The blockading of the canal and the congestion of freight at Gal veston has left the Eastern markets lightly supplied, and some grades of salmon are practically unavailable there. The total shipments of canned salm on by land and sea from American ports for the present year up to Sep tember 1 were 2,676,795, as compared with a total of 1,801,898 for tie same period last year. Inasmuch as a large percentage of the Alaska pack for this year had not reached San Francisco by September 1, this season, the pack ers expect that more recent ehitrhents will show a still greater Increase over; the shipments that were made last year. In the first part of the year, before the current season's pack be gan to move, Puget Sound exported 850,000 cases of Balmon to Great Brit ain, double the quantity exported to that country last year. . :- .;' v Wheat Business Less, -'i1" Portland.
