democracy in Germany. So reports
Frederick Kuh in a United Press dispatch

government as a fai lure.^) Even a leader

statement:
"Our post-war blunder was that of
giving an overdose of democracy to a
people for centuries accustomed to
absoIutisrn."
A member of the German parliament

sailors of John Bull. We learn this
from a United Press dispatch to the
St. Louis Star.
A British steamer carrying 110,000
dollars in specie was stranded in the
Yangtze River 40 miles below Chungkiang.
Another British ship summoned by wireless
arrived on the scene. Its crew last
night was transferring the passengers,
specie and cargo of the stranded vessel.
Suddenly from the bank of the
Yangtze, so Idiers of the regular Chinese
army opened fire on the two British
ships.
The United States gunboat Oahu
was known to be in the neighborhood.
The BncI ishmen ca! led on Uncle Sam's
wars hip for help. It rushed to the
scene of the fray and opened fire with
heavy machine puns on the Chinese soldiers.]
The fir inn ceased f o r t h e time being, but
was renewed in the morning. The Oahu
