in the events and moral of the French
Revolution, ard was acquainted with
much OF the native revolutionary III
/ erature.
I'm her fifteenth year she was writ
ing leaders for Shanghai paper, and
I'm the company of her father attend
| ing meetings of very advanced po-
litical character In the same city. The
two brothers, Pao-tsu-woo, the poet,
and Yuan-Shi-Kai, the soldier. having
drlited far apart In matters of opin-
ion, seldom met, and the girl only
saw her uncle once.
"HiE memory remains with me,
she said, more as that of a warlike
spirit than of a man. At the age OF
fifteen | was sent to Japan to study.
and there wrote little book, entitled
'Tsu-yu Tsong' CThe Liberty Bell)
which circulated In my native coun-
try. besides being very active In what
must be called, suppose, plotting TO
overthrow the Manchu dynasty.
Soon Yuan-Shi-Kai began to press
me by letter and telegram, and
through my family, TO return to China
and take charge of a school In the
Province of Chilli. of which he was
then Viceroy. / have always stead
lastly refused, however, so much as
to see him, believing him to be an
enemy OF true liberty and of the fu-
ture Chinese Republic"
In japan, the girlstudent met her
future husband, Mr.. Chang, who has
now been studying for some time at
Aberdeen University. and is a first
prizeman in international law.
Mrs. Chang holds very decided
views on the present political situa-
ton. Her uncle she regards as the
arch enemy-an able and probably
sincere reformer, but constitutional
| ly untitled to play a useful part in
free state.
"Yuan-Shi-Kai," she declared, lis
not soldier, nor statesman, or
even a politician. His ideal is linn
tied monarchy, because he believes
that under such system his popular
| ity with the army would give him
the power of an autocrat. AS an
autocrat he would, no doubt, intro
duce many sweeping reforms, but the
Chinese people would not be free. /
firmly believe that no Parliament
would be able to control his actions"
In any event, Mrs. Chang intends to
/ devote herself largely to educational
work among the women Of China, be
lieving that only by raising the status
OF women In the empire can real and
steady progress be secured.

LONDON, Jan. 16.--England has en-.
tered upon the most ambitious and
momentous sociological experiment In
her history.
With the enactment OF Lloyd
Georges so-called national insurance
bill, the government goes into part
nership with employers and wage
earners In a vast scheme for the
alienation of human suffering and the
betterment OF industrial conditions. In
the language OF its author who piloted
the measure through parliament In the
face If the most determined opposl-
ton on the part of the tories. this
bill will do more to hinder and as
suage human misery than any measure
enacted since the abolition OF the corn
laws"
The insurance bill has two main OBJ
jects-provision against the misfor-
tunes OF ill-health for the $4,000, 900
workmen OF the United Kingdom; linn
tied Insurance against unemployment
for the 100000 men engaged in the
two great trades most likely to fluctua-
tions.
Here are the benefits under the
health section OF the bill:
When laborer falls Ill. he receives
$3.50 week for 26 weeks, II his dis
ability continues so long as that; after
that period $1.25 week indefinitely.
II his disability is permanent, his pen
sion continues until death The sick
workman is, in addition. given free
medical attention.
II he develops tuberculosis, the in
sured Is cared for at a government

equipment OF sanatoria, located at vari-
Gus and most favorable spots, $780,
900 Is appropriated. and for their
maintenance $5,000,000 is to be ex-
pended annually.
Every wife of an insured person, re-
ceiyes $3.50 at childbirth, in addition
to medical attendance. and $3.50 addi-
tional IL she herself Is a contributor
TO the insurance fund.
The unemployment feature at pres
ent extends only to the building ana
engineering trades, and the Dement'S
range from $3.50 to $l.75 a week for
not more than Is weeks of unemploy-
ment In any one year.
To the American workingman the
pecuniary benefits seem small. but
when Il is considered that under the
low standard OF wages prevailing In
England, the average laborer's income
per week Is only little more than 50,
they are not unduly disproportionate
The general purposes Of the bill, more
over. cannot be wholly appreciated in
terms OF dollars and cents. AS state,
employer and employe all contribute
to the fund, each will benefit by II.
The employer gets better service.
The taxpayer will benefit I'm the conse-
quent reduction of poverty Further
more, II Is the expectation of the pro-
moters Of the measure that 1t will go
A long ways toward wiping out the
slums OF the great cities.
The bill is designed TO encourage
thrift. II will permit the workman
TO keep his savings account intact
until the time OF heavy trouble comes.
lie will not have to withdraw his
funds from the bank on account Of i'll
ness.
Perhaps the most material benefit
under the bill Is the maternity fea-
ture. Lloyd-GeOrge says that yearly
there are born In this country mil.
lion children. under conditions not
only detrimental to the welfare OF the
little ones and their mothers. but dis
astrous TO the future OF the race. The
insurance bill is expected 10 change.
all this
II is 10 the compulsory contribution
feature OF the measure that the chief
objection IL made BY It's terms all
male manual laborers and other male
employees whose yearly earnings are
less than $500. contribute cents
weekly To the insurance fund women
6 cents. The amounts are deducted
from their wages by the employer,
who turns them into the government
along with 8 cents himself for each
employe. The governments share is
4 cents for each employe.

WHAT INSURANCE BILL WILL DO
ny David LIoyd-George,

This insurance bill will prevent
sickness for multitudes, will reduce
the pains and perils OF ill-health
for many more. and Will TO large
extent obviate the penury which
follows upon the heels OF sickness
In the homes of labor. ] believe the
health OF the multitude should be
more precious I'm the eyes OF the
law than the wealth OF the few.
believe that the home OF the laborer
can be saved from Indebtedness and
want and that the best or all can
be concentrated and organized to
avert the worst from each.

NO PAY FOR LOSS OF
LIFE ON The TITANIC
LEGAL EXPERT SAYS THERE rs
NO LAW ON WHICH TO
MAKE CLAIMS.

New York, June 5.-SOme Of the lc
gal aspects of the Titanic dsaste. and
the right Of survivors and their rela-
tiVes TO recover damages are discuss
ed authoritatively in Bench and Bar.
Just issued.
THE first inquiry heard ON all
sides has been as to civil liability for
loss of life" this authority SAYS '!f
such a liability existed and could be
fastened upon the owners of>the IT,
tanic. il might aggregate millions Of
dollars, and greatly exceed even the
loss of the vessel and cargo. But there
IL. unfortunately, no general law o.:
the United States by which damages
can be recovered in admiralty for the
death OF a human being on the high
seas. The right 10 recover such dam
oges. If any such right exists, is that
given by the law OF the domlcile OF of
the fiag--that is. the State or country
to which the vessel belongs.
1T would seem. indeed, in view of
all the circumstances, tina. II Is not
probable that there will be satisfied
to any considerable extend, claims
of any character against the company
| that owned the Titanic. As the Tita
nic was a total loss, the liability OF
the owners in proceedings instituted
in the United States will be limited
to the value of the freight pending
unless IL should be established that
the loss occurred with the "privlty
and knowledge of the owners
The insufiiciency Of lifeboats. IL Is
asserted does not necessarily imply

Titanic was a British vessel, on heI
maiden voyage to this country. she
had not become subject to the laws

ment for life saving.

or not the Titanic owners can be held

vented certain passengers from get
