act OF General Cara, the new pro-
vistonal president. was to utilize the

purposes.
The state department is particularly
anxious TO know whether Gutierrez

visional presidency or had gone to Pa
chuco with part OF his cabinet to set
up o government there in defiance Of
the conventionalist faction in Mexico.

To End the Chinese Farce.

There are college presidents and
college presidents. One of them,
now at the head of the government
IN Washington, set out some time
ago to establish constitutional gov.
ernment in Mexico, based on the
theory and practice of an enlighten-
ed and educated people. Another
OF them, who has been legal adviser
to the new Chinese republic, is cred
lied with advising Yam Shi-kai to
set up monarchy in China on the
ground that the monarchical form
OF government is better suited than
the republican form to conditions
in the great Asiatic nation.

little for forms. so long as results

that China is no more republic now
than when the Manchus were REIGN

try is governed under dictatorship
although the dictator is called the
president Of the new republic.

Government Secrets.

The protection of government Sc
crets has always required the great
est vigilance. Each nation is inquis-
tive as to what every country is &C
complishing in inventing new appli-
ances for war purposes. The con-
struction Of warships, for example,
calls for much secrecy. Neutral
powers must guard we'll their naval
secrets. Offenders against the neu-
trail policy Of a country should also
rear in mind the severe punishment
IL store for them, for discovery is
certain sooner or later.
Mary government secrets do leak
out in every country. This is owing
to the lure of gold and to the &C.
tivity Of unknown secret agents.
The United States in common with
other nations has its secret service
and, perhaps, it is as succ essfuI as
any other similar agency.
Scientific means for the protec-
ton of the country have not vet
been exhausted; indeed they are only
are just beginning to be used. Pre-
sent naval secrets of neutral D )wers
1nay prove of slight Importance
Compared with the possible methods
Of warfare in the future. These
rev methods devised here should be
solely at the dispos: 4 of the United
states and unknown until it Is re-
necessary to use them.

No New Genius.

That the epoch 1914-1915 has not
produced single genius in France

by the French journal, LIE Cri de
Paris.
'In fact" says the Cri, cit ap-
pears that the stars in our literary
heavens have been growing pale
for some time. But the time hes
produced an astonishing, almost
miraculous phenomenon. Certain
works already ancient, of which the
authors are dead, have suddenly be-
come noted as Incompatible, which
before were not considered so beau
tiful. 1t is the war that all at once
has revealed their splendor. and to-
day they evoke universal enthusi-
asm. One may count them upon
the fingers, for there are but four

The 'Marseillaise. The young peo-
PIE imagined it was a ritournelle,
a mere flourish. They have just found
that it is masterpiece. The sculp-

ton, while the serge was used in a

Many similar effects were to be
seen. Serge seems to be even
more popular than in the past sea-

fact that it is so hard for the French

"A Co9tuih1 OF oalih-Strlped Fallle Showing the

There seemed to be no limit to the
shortness of the skirt. The costume
