Daniel Willard, chairman of the national council of defense, who since our entry into the war has been active in the very midst of the country's war preparation, declares that if America's whole energies are to be devoted to winning: the war thers must be had the help of every individual. "Whatever any man undertakes," says Willard, "let him ask himself: 'Will this help America "Win the war?' "

CHINA'S ENTRANCE

fITO WOULD WAR

BY EALPH TTJBJTES. (United Frees Correspondent.) TOKIO. Aug. 20 (By Mail) China smashed precedent of centuries when she entered the world war. She cast aside the ape-old non-resistant, isolation policy of her ancestors. Moreover, although a republic since 1911. and bearing all the trappings and machinery generally approved for the conduct cf a. republican government, China went into the war without a single nod of assent from her national congress. The reason was that there is no parliament today. Its disappearance came about througfi efforts to coerce it in the troublous days when Chang Hsun and h.h rig-tailed soldiers marched on Peking. ' Then came the "restoration" lasting Just one

week, the downfall of Chang Hsun and democracy again. Why did China decide on war? Because, even disorder and chacs, so frequent In China have not destroyed the Cin3nan'3 astuteness. Above all things China needs money. She believes avowed declaration of her sympathy for the allied cause will help her get

the financial aid necessary to put her

house in order. Haw well this hops Is being borne out is illustrated in reports that England. Japan, Russia, and

France the "Four Power Syndicate" is considering a loan of $50,000,000 (gold.) Xot only this, but China hopes for revision of her customs duties, postponement of payments on the Boxer indemnities, a voice at the peace council table where settlement of Tsingtao will bo made, expulsion of German interests and German Intrigue from her borders and Increasing friendship and aid from America. Incidentally, if aid in men Is desired, China has 433,600 soldiers under arms, four great arsenals, a great supply of iron, antimony and ether metals and inexhaustible man power. Some of these coolies are already at work In France. If Premier Tuan-chl, -who has favored war since the break with Germany, and Feng Kuochang, the real president, have really decided to act together and support each other, China and war should get along very well. Tuan. the man who vanquished Chang Hsun and his imperial dreams, began shortly after his return to office to prepare his war plans. These included the formation of a national council, which will be the only form of popular representation to have a hand in China's war activities. Some officials proposed to

await the convention of the national assembly, submitting the war proposal to this body, but Tuan strongly opposed this, insisting on the necessity for immediate action. The national council, composed of ministers, vice ministers, councilors of the various departments, and two representatives from each province, finds iteelf endowed with the following powers, duties and limitations: It will take the place of the provis

ional legislature organ; its session shall not exceed one year; it will confirm the cabinet's war declaration, modify the parliamentary election law

FORMER DRUMMER HAS BEEN KNIGHTED

BY nENRY WOOD. (IT lilted Fre Staff Correspondent.) WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, Aug. 28 tby mail). Knighthood in the Royal Order of the Crown of Italy has Just been conferred by King Victor Emmanuel on Margris Guilbaut, a French soldier who before the war was a "drummer" for a wholesale grocery house. One of King Victor's hobbies since the beginning of the war has been th seeking out and rewarding of real

'deeds of knighthood amongst the sol

diers, not only of his own, but of the '.Hied armies. In conferringthe cross of a chevalier of the Order of the Crown of Italy on Guilbaut, King Viator dubbed him a second "Chevalier d'Assas."

C&ught In a night ambush, and knowing that unless the alarm were given other French soldiers would also be captured, Guilbaut unhesitatingly called out to his men to fire directly onto his captors although well knowing like the Knight of Assas of old that the bullets must almost inevitably kill himself as well. The daring plan proved effective. Realizing they were discovered and that French soldiers were close at hand, the Germans with curses fell back Into ths darkness, the last on

thrusting his gun into Guilbaut's face. Guilbaut seized the barrel and, succeeded in turning it aside, the bullet tearing away part of one thumb and grazing- his chest. With the alarm that had been given the entire German patrol stationed earlier in the night for the purpose of ambushing the French, beat a discreet retreat and Guilbaut's sentinels and advance posts remained master of the situation. Simultaneously with the cross of the Order of the Crown of Italy received from King Victor Emmanuel. Guilbaut received from the French government the Medaille Militaire.
