CHINA DIPLOMATS

Loan to Powers Has Manchu-

Pekin. June A-China has scored a sue
cess in diplomacy. In order to satisfy her
financial needs she borrowed q million
taels recently. and accepted the money
from four powers-Great Britain. the
United States. France. and Germany. In
this transaction Russia had no hand or
part.
The loan was raised partly for the uni
hcation of the currency, which is perhaps
the most pressing need Of the moment,
and partly for the purpose OF developing
Industrial Manchuria.
The regular payment of interest is guar
anteed by the excise taxes and customs
dues OF Manchuria. The other provinces
guarantee it only with their excise duty
on salt.
Thus the principal sources OF revenue
In Manchuria are pawned to the inter-
national syndicate Of the four powers.
" which henceforth win possess well-defined
and real interests in Northern and
Southern Manchuria.
Russians complain that China might
have pledged the revenues Of other prov
inces, but cunningly preferred to give
those OF Manchuria, in order that the
states who thus become her creditors
may have lever for action should China
be attacked by Russia or Japan. This is
master stroke of diplomacy.

Remains of Ancient Buildings Un-
earthed In italian Town.
Rome, June 24.-An attempt is be-
ing made to discover the remains of
Horace's Sabine farm in the valley of
Ustica, near the village Of Digentia,
the modern Licenza, about fifteen miles
from Tivon
A site answering to that of the poets
villa was found several years ago and
remains of ancient buildings were un-
earthed, but its Identification was un-
certain as 1t was mainly based on local
traditions supposed to have been re-
tanned in the modern names given to
the neighboring hills.
Later explorations led to the discov-
cry of a mosaic pavement of the Au-
GUSTAV period, but the work had to be
stopped for lack Of the necessary funds
to appropriate the ground. The min
lister of public instruction has now pro-
vided sufficient funds to resume the
exploration and appointed Prof. Pas
Qui to direct the work.
So far the discoveries made seem to
point out that Horace's villa has at last
been found, as the foundations of an
ancient building have been laid bare
and fragments of a oornice of red mar
bic, tiles, bricks, and other materials
have been collected.

The garter terminates in floral design

around which is the motto Of the order in
diamonds. This is encircled by a border
of larger brilliants. Surmounting the
badge is a floral design in large diamonds
terminating in a ring, into which fits a
boldly designed loop attaching the blue
silk ribbon to the badge itself.
The third piece, which Is the star, has
eight points and is of diamonds. In the
center Is the plain cross Of st. George in
specially cut rubies OF unusually fine color
encircled by the motto Of the order in

ter. This Is again surrounded by circuit
of fine diamonds. The shoulder brooch,
or fourth piece of the insignia, consists
OF double row of fine brilliants, five in
each row. and IT is used to secure the rib-
bon to the dress.
The insignia are contained IN a case
bearing a gold plate with the following
inscription: Presented to Her Majesty
Queen Mary in loyal homage from the
Marys Of the empire as a coronation g1rt.

Berlin, June 24-Dr. Hans Kersten,
who is one of the great skin grating
specialists of this country, in a re-
cent lecture, asserts that shortly any
one can be made beautiful at small
cost, with the aid of the surgeons
knife. He describes this as Human
sculptery."
Skillful surgeons. says the doctor,
are able to graft skin, or missing or
gans, so perfectly that no scar is to be
seen. In such a way 1t should be easy
to remedy other defects In the facial
organs or contour, and as beauty re-
lies on symmetry, II would seem that
the most misshapen face can be trans
formed into a likeness OF Apollo Belve-
dere.
The specialist describes as easy op-
erations reducing the excessively large
ears, narrowing unduly distended nos
trils. Strengthening crooked noses,
grating skin, and removing black
patches from the necks. faces, and arms
Of women whose skin is otherwise fair.
It would seem that woman of the
future will be the radiant daughter Of
these miraculous forces of nature.
