FOREsEEs MORE SHOWERS"
Weather Bureau Forecast for Week
Beginning Tomorrow.

SHOWERS" is again a prominent word
in the forecast of the weather bureau
for the week beginning tomorrow. In
some parts of the country it is going
to shower the first part of the week,
and in others the last part of the week.
but shower it will in almost every part
of this United States, if the predictions
of the weather bureau come true.
Washington is scheduled to get it's
shower tomorrow, following which it
will dry off in time for more showers
toward the end of the week. The pre-
diction for the middle Atlantic states is
as follows:
Local. showers Wednesday will be
followed by comparatively cool and
generally fair weather for several days.
and again by showers toward the end
of the week"
The Ohio valley and Tennessee are in
for exactly the same schedule. Three
or four days of fair weather, sand
WICKED in between showers is the best
the weather bureau can hold out for
any section of the country, with the
exception of the Pacific states, where it
will be generally fair during the
week. except Wednesday. over the ex-
IRENE northern portion"
what is going to happen to the
northern portion is not stated. but it is
a safe guess that it will shower.

No Ground for Interference.

Should the new movement continue
to develop, officials here believe there
would be little ground for interference
by the United States presuming that
it represented the will of a majority
of the Chinese people and it was not
proposed to erect government by an
act OF despotism. OF course, the disap-
pearance of the new far eastern repub-
lie, which it was hoped would be the
forerunner of others in that part of
the world, would be viewed with regret
from Washington.
When President Wilson officially
recognized Yuan Shi kais government
May ., 1913. that thought was devel-
oped in the message he sent to Yuan,

son said
