i CHINA A REPUBLIC EMPEROR GIVES UP TITLE TO RESUME BIS PRESIDENCY GERMANS REGISTER GAINS IN FIGHT AROUND VERDUN Classified Column and v Fanners Exchange ACCEPTS ALL THE BLAME Yuan Shih Kal, Who Assumed Presi dency of New Republic and Tlien Accepted Crown Pleads Guilt? and Gives up Title—‘-Calls People To- getlier. ' ' . . x The Chinese legation received from the Peking government the official text of the mandate issued on March 21 by Yuan Shih Kai, who for a brief period Was designated aa emperor of China, and by which the restoration of the republic, was ordered with \ uan Shih Kal as the president. The cablegram to the legation stated that a mandate issued on March 21 relievea Lu Ch..ng Hsiang, minister of foreign affairs, of the additional post of secretary of state “on account of his multitudinous duties," and appointed Hau Shih Chang to be secretary of state^ The legation was also notified in the dis patch that another mandate of the same date canceled the reigning title of Hungslen—or emperor—and that a mandate issued March 23 reinstated the title of the republic. The text of Yuan Shih Kai’s mandate concerning the form of government for China, marking the restoration of the republic, is one of the nioet remarkqhlc human documents |>cnncd by a ruler of conteni|>orarv times. It Is full of inu-rrst Itccausc of the unique atti tude of humility taken by the president In assuming nil of the blame for all of the troubles of China. The mandate concludes with the statement by President Yuan 8hlh Kal that lie cannot remain Idle while the country is racing to perditions, and appeals to all general* and others to rally around the republic. Here la the teat of the mandate: "After the establishment of the re public disturbances folios ed one after another and I was called upon to shoulder the burden of the state Those having the welfare of the country at heart unanlmoualy de clared that ualeea China adopted a constitutional monarchy aha could never exist **I<arge numbers of people then ad vocated the monarchist restoration Prayers were addressed to me In most earnest terms by telegram and peti tions The acting IJ Fa Yuan —State Couecil—decided that the question about the form of the state should bu settled by a convention of rttlaea rep resentatives "la eon sequence represen tat I vea of the province# and special admlntetra- tlve areas were elected sad a conven tion was railed These representa tive# of the roaveatloa unanimously derided la favor of a roast It utloaal monarchy and elected me emperor Itlnre the sovereignty of the country was vested In rltixens and the deci sion was made by the entire body of representatives, there was no room left to me for further discussion, "hevertheleas. I was convinced that my suihtra elevation to the thrt«e would constitute a violation of my oath, leaving me unable to rvplala myself. The l.l Fa Kuan were Arm and stated that the oath of the chief executive was based on hla position and should be observed or discarded arrordlng to the will of the people. Their arguments were so irresistible that there was no excuse for me to decline their offer. Using prepara tions aa a pretext. I took no steps to carry out their program actually. "When the trouble in Runnan and Kwtechow arose I issued a mandate postponing the measure and forbid ding the presentation of petitions praying for my enthronement. Then > 1 hastened the convocation of the l.l Fa Yuan in order to secure various views, hoping to revert to the origi nal state of affairs. Ileing a man of hitter experiences, I cared for nothing hut the salvation of my country. A section of the peop|e, however, sus- ixvrted me of harboring a desire for great power and privileges. Thus dif ference in thought has create an ex-' ceedingly-kdangerous situation. “I have myself to blame for my lack of virtue. Why should I blame others? The people have been made to bear hardships. Com merce has declined. Taking this condition into consideration I feel exceedingly sorry. 'Tam still of the opinion that the designation petitions « submitted through the Acting Li Fa Yuan are unsuited to the ciroumslances of the country. The official acceptance of the throne on Deoeipher 11 is hereby canceled and the designation peti tions are hereby returned- through the state department to the Tsan Chang Yuan, acting as the Li Fa Yuan, to be forwarded to the petitioners for destruction. All preparations con nected therewith are to cease forth with. “Thus I hope to invite the example of the sincerity of ancients by should ering myself all the blame, so that my action will fall-in line with the spirit of humaai'y, which Is the ex- Rerlin Announces Gains at Positions North of Malancourt—French Also Claim Gains.-?- . The Germans have made another notable, gain their drive against Ver- duh, according to Berlin Wednesday, storming French positions north of Malancourt to the depth of several lines along a front of two thousand yards or more than a mile. Malancourt is about ten and one- half miles northwest of Verdun and some two and one-half mifes north east of the southern tip of the Avo- court wood, into which the Germans pushed in their recent great drive west of ithe Meuse. The French lines here formed a broad salient, exposed to attack from either flank and French enture of the position had not been considered secure by many military observers. Apparently the German assult was on the westerly side’of the salient, where Paris previously reported a heavy attack by the Germans, de claring, however, that it had been repulsed. Wednesday's Paris state ment asserts that the Germans Tues day night made no fresh assault p.n the Malancourt front claiming that French forces had won a success against the Germans in the Avocourtj wood, the northeastern corner of which they occupied to a depth of three hundred yards, besides captur ing a strongly fortified redoubt.

The official German account of Saturday night's Zeppelin raid was sent by wireless Monday: "During tbs night of April 1-2 naVal airships renewed the attack on the east coast of England. For a period of one and one-half hours ex plosive and incendiary bombs were thrown on blast furnaces, large Iron works and industrial establishments of Middlesborough and Sunderland. Large explosions, fires and demoli tions were caused and the successful effects of the attacks were clearly noticeable. • “Notwithstanding heavy shelling of our airships they suffered neither loss nor damages.” Aircraft are Very Active. . Aircrafts have been very active around Verdun. The French brought down three German machines, but Berlin asserts that the aerial com bats have results in their favor. Both sides have been busily engaged in dropping bombs on military estab lishments at various points. • Activity in the Woevre. Thursday night the Germans de veloped renewed activity on the edge of the Woevre^ plain, beginning a drive against the French right flank and attempting CG lake the fortiffca- tion east of Haudlomont, about nine miles southeast of Verdun.
