TALK ABOUT AN ULTIMATUM.
(By Associated Press-)

PEKIN. Feb. 1e-The foreign ENJOYS
have given the Chinese authorities eight
DAYS in which to issue satisfactory edicts.
The afternoon newspapers follow the
morning papers to-day in opposing mill
tary expeditions into the interior OF
China. The Westminster Gazette says:
.If the United States and Great Britain
maintain their present opposition to the
expedition policy it is a prophecy that an
expedition is not likely to be launched into
the interior
The eight days given the Chinese au-
thorities for the publication of satisfac-
tory edicts, cannot, the foreign ministers
say. be considered as an ultimatum, as
the notice only refers particularly to the
cessation of examinations and also TO the
liability of the governors of the provinces
where outrages may be committed. The
military officials fail to see the difference.
in a series of uItimatums. or 4 single ul-
timatun covering the entire demands and
ask if the Chinese refuse TO agree to any
points during the number of days given
what the ministers intend to do.
In the meantime the military continue
preparations for the expedition. the inten-
ton being to send out six columns OF
troops. two columns leaving Pskin, ITEM
Tsin and Poa Ting Flu, respectively Field
Marshal Count Won Waidersee believes
that eight days rations viii be ample for
the columns to take with them. as the

White House Cuisines:
Gifts For the Children

In general il is to be understood,
of course, that presidents Christ
mas is very much like any ones else
Christmas. Then, too, the president
has children, and they are like any
ones else children. Hence the an
nOuncement that preparations for
Christmas are being carried on within
the walls of the White House in the
most mysterious manner possible
merely accords with the situation in
other households. Still scenes at the
White House are somewhat unusual.
After the Roosevelt children have pre-
pared their lessons for the next day,
it is their habit either to collect a
number of little friends about them
and work diligently on numerous
mysterious presents for members of
their families or friends, or else they
all huddle into a government carriage
and drive to the home of Secretary
Cortelyou, or some other indulgent
friend with children, where they
spend the evening in the same secret
session. The Roosevelt children are
resourceful to n marked degree, and
the presents most valued by the pres
ident and his wife are those made by
the hands of the youngsters. Ethel
recently fashioned calendar for her
father which will likely be put into
practical use in his executive bust
ness, while the really complete boats
already made by Kermit and Archi-
bald indicate equally as skillful bits
of handiwork as presents for other
members of the family and their
friends. Another thing that oc-
cupied the children was the con-
struction of various ornaments for
the Christmas tree to be unveiled tor
night at Commander COwles' house
This ceremony will be attended by
the president and Mrs. Roosevelt with
all their children. as well as by Secre-
tary and Mrs. Cortelyou and their
family of small children. 1t has not
yet been quite decided whether there
will be a Christmas tree at the White
House or not. but as Mrs. Roosevelt
has for years interested her children
in taking care of the Christmas tree
ornaments from year t" year it is
likely that they will be in use this
year as formerly.
1t is said that both President and
Mrs. Roosevelt take the keenest de-
light in letters to Santa Claus indited
by the two younger children. Archi-
bald and the White House baby, Quen-
tin, of 3 1-2 years, and even Ethel is
not above taking this sly method of
securing some silver ornaments for
the toilet table she has started to
furnish for her own special use. II
is limited that Miss Alice may get a
pearl necklace in her stocking and
