Gambia, which, however, did not sur

cities against all attacks, and many Of
them were still uncaptured when the

TWINS TO BE SEPARATED
Xiphopagic Cartilage Can Be
Safely Cut, Specialist Says.
[By Gable to The Tribune. J

Paris. Dec 21.-The delicate opera
ton of separating the Partisan born
Siamese twins, Madeleine and Suzanne,
will shortly be performed by an emf
nent French specialist, DR.. lie Filllatre.
Madeleine and Suzanne, who were born
at the beginning of last month, are
joined in a Xiphopagic manner by a
thick cartilage extending from the
breastbone TO the umbilicus.
A thorough X-ray examination
showed the organs of the children to
be separate. and it is therefore be-
lieved that an operation is likely TO
be successful. Madeleine and Suzanne
appear to be perfectly healthy children,
but the constant supervision Of nurse
as well as a system of binding to-
gether the arms and shoulders is neces-
sary to prevent brusque movements
which would cause injury to both.

LATE COMERS OVERCOME
Dark Lobbies Prove Effective
in Paris Theatres.
GBy cable TO The tribune.

Paris. Dec. 27-Paris theatres have
combined in a campaign against late
corners after the performances have
begun. During the present season the
annoyance is greater than ever before,
almost interrupting the players.
Hitherto the public has been warned
by the crescendo ringing of electric
bells that the curtain is about to rise,
but this proved useless. The next plan
was to lock the doors as soon as the
performance began, not allowing any
entrances until the end Of the act, but
this resulted in such loud and violent
disputes and quarrels that the remedy
was worse than the disease.
The new measure now enforced is
simply TO turn out the lights in the
Hobbies just before the curtain rises,
thus compelling the lingering specta-
tors to enter the auditorium. This
plan, put in practice during the holi-
days. works fairly well.

Picking Dec. Professor Frank j.
Goodnow. formerly Of Columbia CniNer-
sIty New York. and now adviser to the
Chinese government. has taken a very
definite stand In opposition TO the draft
OF the constitution proposed by the Par
lament which has just been invalidated
by the expulsion OF four hundred MEM
bers belonging 10 the radical Kwo Ming
tang party.
Professor Goodnow came 10 China six
months ago. II did not take him long TO
reach the conclusion that ample powers
should be placed in the hands of the
President and his Cabinet and this opin-
ion has been justified and supported, he
says by his subsequent observations.
His report on the proposed constitu-
ton has been made public, together with
number Of other opinions supporting
the position OF President Yuan Shih-kai,
as against Parliament. Some of the more
important paragraphs follow:
The present constitution finally takes
from the President almost all power Of
dissolution, and thereby deprves him or
his most effective weapon OF defence
against a hostile legislature, which itself
may not be representative Of the people
What China would seem TO need, for
the present at any rate. is "A strong ex-
ecutive. who should be permitted, sub
ject to a general control to be exercised
by the legislature over the policy TO be
followed. to pursue that policy unham-
pered by veXatious restrictions.
1T appears to be generally believed
that foreign loans will soon have TO be
made. II can hardly ne hoped that the
banks which may be expected TO under
take the placing OF these loans will be
willing TO advance large sums OF money
under a form of government which makes
it impossible to determine with reason
able certainty who will. even in a few
months. have the disposition OF the pro-
Ceeds OF these loans"
