G. \V. Gong, proprietor of the Val
dez Iron Works, says that business
is picking up with the beginning of

a job known to metal users. His
shop is especially fitted* to handle
heavy work, and he has a large braz

GRAVE ECKECT ON THE WAR
German IJefeat in Great Struggle
Would be followed by lnijiortunt
Change* in International Sitna
| tion in Europe.
L!j-.DON, March 28.—The British
press Is studying carefully the ef
fect of the Verdun fighting on pub
lic opinion in the neutral countries.
A special correspondent sent to
Sweden by the Telegraph warns the
British public as follows:
“Any decisive Gernym success will
produce a far-reaching political ef
fect upon neutral countries. The re
bound in Sweden would be great and
almost immediate.
“It is hardly realized abroad that
the recent fluctuations in the atti
tude of the Swedes were the direct
results of the vicissitudes of the cam
paign in general and of Russia’s
grave reverse in particular. While
the majority of the Swedish people
entertain no desire to entertain a
safe and lucrative neutrality for a
belligerency, which can bring no last
ing advantage, the sentiments otOhe
inarticulate majority are of liwle
avail against the motives by which
the ruling statesmen are impressed.
“It Is certain that a decisive Teu
tonic victory at the present juncture
1 would bo followed by most important
changes in the international situa
tion.”
The Athens correspondent of The
Telegraph says.
“If (Sreeco can serve as an exam
ple of the effect which the gfant
struggle at Verdun will have upon
neutrals, oue can safely forecast that
It will he immense. Greece is follow
ing the different phases of the battle
of Verdun with absorbing Interest.
It is believed here that the effects
and political consequences will be
even more far reaching on Germany’s
Balkau Allies.”
Dispatches from Bucharest show
that keen interest is taken there iu
the Verdun fighting. The correspond
ent of the Exchange Telegraph Com
pany says:
“Only a groat German victory can
prevent Rumania from joining the
Entente Allied soon. .

ABANDON PUN
FOR MONARCHY
KKTUHLIC UK CONT1MKO CHINA
Country Is Torn with Rebellion
Against the Re-establishment of a
Monarchy with Yuan Khi Kai Hold
ing the Reins of Tower.
PEKIN, March 23.—An official an
nouncement was made today that the
plan to establish a monarchy in Chi
na, with President Yuan Shi Kai as
emperor, has been abandoned, and
that the Republican form of govern
ment will be continued.
This change of attitude on the part
of the President and his officials is
believed due to the many uprisings
which have broken out throughout
the country. A major portion of the
country is now in a state of rebellion
against the government becan.se of
the contemplated change. Rebel lead
ers declare that the oevrthrow of the
Manchu dynasty and the establish
ment of a republican form of govern
ment was accomplished after years of
struggle and much bloodshed, and
thaj they will fight to extermination
to prevent the restoration of a mon
archy with Yuan Shi Kai as the ruler.
They state that ii' the monarchy is
restored they much prefer the estab
lishment of the rightful monarch on
the throne that the reins of power
should not be seized by the Presi
dent.
JOIN FORCES TO
STOP DRUNKENNESS
LOS ANGELES, March 28. -Los
Angeles—a wet city without a single
drunk! This is the slogan of Judge
Griffith Jones of the sunrise police
court. Mayor ( . E. Sebastian and
wholesale liquor .-alers who are
working lO banish the reeling drunk
ard from this town. Analysis of the
liquor situation by Judge Jones
showed that out of 1184 intoxicated
men arrested, only four got in that
condition by drinking beer or light
wines. The others drank whiskey and
“hard stuff."
Asking the men where they got
their liquor, the police found that
most of the drunken men came from
one of lour saloons. There are scores
of bars here, but a close tab shows
that only four had a habit* of send
ing forth helpless staggerers.
The offending four were warned
not to sen u> known drunkards or
persons already under the influence
of liquor. The average daily number
of arrests decreased from 7fi to 27.
and the average number of men ar
rester Saturday night fell from 138
to 32. Judge Jones hopes to, prac
tically eliminate public drunkenness
within three months.
