E Says It Is Better Than Sham Republic-Japan Stirring Up Trouble - By Wang Shi Young (Written for the United Press.) ' r Washington, Dec. ' 17. President Yuan Shi Kni hns recently been un fairly criticised in connection with China's ehnngo to a monarchial form of government. However, a largo ma jority of intelligent Chinese urged the change, dl'siring thnt the government be strengthened, mid foreseeing that the republic, would lack permanence. Restoration of peace and stability within the nation was largely duo to Ylun Shi Kni, but good citizens feared that with his death, the settled govern ment might disappear. Between China nml Mexico, there is a vast difference. Having America as her protector, Mexico could afford a gradual develop ment of republicanism through civil war, nssussinatioii and other violence, without fear of intervention. But China, on tho other baud, witli her neighbor Japan, ever ready to crush her before she ciin grow strong enough to defend herself, cannot indulge in this political luxury. This danger from .lapnn is the impelling reason behind the elinnge in government. There will be no trouble in China unless Japan desires it. The Chinese believe in recourse to reason rather than to force. They have reasons to believe that it is better to give up a sham republic and establish a condition nl monarchy. Japan's interference by tendering her advice to postpono formation of a monarchy was really intended to re sult in the very disturbance she pro fessed nn anxiety to prevent.

The Union Meat company of Port land bid 0.8!) per hundred pounds for fresh beef and Cnrsten's packing plant of Tacoinn bid $0.75, but the Portland bid is not 5 per cent higher than the Tacoma bid and the Union Ment com pany chained the contract under the five per cent limit. Then the question came up ns to whether or not fresh beef was n manufactured article. It is admitted that snusnge, bacon mill the by products of the meat market nre manufactured articles but fresh beef sold in tho bulk is another matter and the attorney general will be called up on to decide the mutter. The fresh beef and mutton contract is tho big Btnto contract and local packing plants entered nn bid on this contract though E. C. Cross Si Son and Steusloff Bros. landed most of the contracts for the other kinds of meats and market sup plies that will be used next year nt the state institutions.

Stol v f- unable to identify Schmidt as one of the men who gave him the advertisement. Evidence of how tho dynamite was loaded on n launch at (limit having already been given, and Schmidt having been identified ns one of the men who received it, by Superintendent Phillips of the Giant Powder company, the state traced the explosive to its final disposi tion. Detective F. B. Carroll of the l.i Angeles police force said he went t San Francisco on October 17, 1010, two weeks after the Times was wrecked and found 10 boxes of the stuff at No. 1022 Uineteenth avenue there.

All ' REPLY TO AUSTRIA VILL Unless She Complies With De mands Diplomatic Rela tions Will End BERLIN PAPERS ADMIRE WAY AUSTRIA SAYS IT They Also Condemn Wilson's "Big Rude Words"-But the Latter Will Win Washington, Dec. 17. President Wil son and his cabinet today read Aus tria's unsatisfactory reply to Americaa demands in tho Ancona torpedoing case. Thoy mapped out a course which Hee retary of Htnto Lansing will execute after the president leaves on his honey moon tomorrow night. Lansing will draft a definito final re joinder which is expected to mean ono of throe things: First, a sovoinnce of diplomatic re lations between America and Austria. Second, that Austria will back down. Third, that Austria will nresent evi dence, refuting the Austrian admiralty statements ns to tho torpedoing, on wlnc.a tho tirst note was based. When ho has completed his rejoinder. tho secretary will take it to. President Wilson; if tho latter approves, it will bo forwarded to Vienna. This answer will lenvo positively no loopholo for prolonged negotiations for which the Austrian reply, received hero early todny, is considered as bidding. "Will Be Ultimatum. In effect, it will bo an ultimatum, it is believed. The only chnnco of not sovering diplomatic rolationB lies in Austria's admitting and furnishing un questionable .proof that its first, admir alty statement was wrong. Even this chance will be worthless, if such evi dence is not "promptly" presented. The first statement confirmed the administration evidence thnt tho shor ing of the Ancona with its consequent loss of American life, was improper and, in tho administration's view, in excusable and unnecessary. The experts finished their tank of decoding tho Austrian reply during the forononn and the copy was taken to tho cabinet sossion 30 minutes after it convened. In addition to considering the note, tho cabinet received from Secretary Lansing Ambassador Penfield's inform al report received yesterday, mid heard from Lansing about conversations he had with Charge d' Affaires ZwiednieU of tho Austrinn embassy in regard t the situation. Lansing told newspaper men this nft crnoon that press forecasts of the Aus trian reply from Kurope, giving full quotes were "ridiculously Inaccurate." -ocipliering the Note. Washington, Dee. 17.

In view of tin) complexity of the code, how ever, it seemed likely that the task, would consume home emirs. Two - more notes America's reply and Austria's answer will likely pass now. These constitute slight barriers) against a breach in diplomatic rela tions between America and Austria. The outcome of the negotiations de pends hugely upon tho uttitude that tho administration iissiimes toward Austria's request for evidence of her contentions as to tho Austrian com manders nets. Indications are that America's ans wer will bo nn ultimatum. It may recite evidence, but it is cer tain that it will reiterate tho oiigiual demands for immediate compliance with America ' ileniands, under threat of severance of diplomatic rolatlons.
