the government authorities have
turned their attention to the
diplomatic features of the
trouble in China. They realize
that the most delicate period in
the relations between China and
the powers is at hand. One
false step may bring war with
all that it means to the civilized
world. Approaching that posi-

take the nation safely through
this most critical period in the
worlds history, the United
States has taken steps to ascer-
tain the position of the powers
regarding certain matters in
connection with Chinese affairs
with the view to maintaining
harmonious procedure. The first
toward this end was taken today
in the preparation of a circular
note to the powers, suggesting
an Arrangement for the recogni.

some central authority in China
with which negotiations for g
peaceful solution of the present

Miss Halle Erminie Rives, cousin to
the author OF THE Quick or the Dead"
has written a novel that makes the
story Of the Princess Troubetskoie
seem absolutely frosty and colorless.
"A Furnace Of Earth" Is the name OF
the latest production from the pen of
the southern girl who two seasons ago
shocked the public by Smoking Flax"
an anti-lynching tale that provoked
criticism from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc. After Miss Rives read what the
papers said concerning Smoking
Flax" she wept herself into a condi-
tion that caused her friends to put her
into a sanitarlum. Her recovery must
have been complete. for "a Furnace of
Earth" surpasses In intensity and
frankness anything that has ever been
written by an American. II will u

Nothing has been heard Of Princess
Chimay for a long time, but probably
this Is due to the fact that her do
nestle troubles are now at an end, and
that her husband has forgiven her for
her indiscreet adventures with the
Hungarian gypsy Rigo. The prince and
princess are now In Paris. and the
last that was heard of the violinist
Rigo was to the effect that he was
somewhere In Africa. Photographs Of
the princess are no longer on sale
either In Paris or Vienna. and big
sums are consequently offered for the
picture Of her as she appeared on the
Partisan variety stage.
