Road to Happiness" Thursday, ia,
7th.

9TH.
When William Hodge two years ago
selected The Road to Happiness" his
present big play hit, out of the mass
Of manuscripts submitted TO him dur
ing the six years Of his starring sue
cess with The Man from Home" he
felt the spirit Of the youth OF Abra-
ham Lincoln reflected in its central
part Of Jim Whitman. He declares
that he never plays the role of Whit
man without having a picture of the
young Abraham Lincoln in his minds
eye. Says this delightful comedian.
to whom Lincoln is the ideal Ameri-
can: Like Lincoln, Whitman is vii
lage born and bred and, like him, he
handles the tools Of q carpenter. Lin
coins own father, Thomas Lincoln,
followed this trade and it was in the
carpenter shop of Joseph Hanks that
he wooed and won that Nancy Hanks
who became the mother of our six
teenth President Lincoln, when he
was in his teens and known as Hon
est Abe not only worked at carpen-
tering but was also noted as an AK
man in the backwoods OF Indiana and
Illinois. Later on he was proud of the
campaign title Of The Rail-Splitter.
AT night, in his rude cabin, by the
fiaring blaze of fat pine knots he
pored over his books and studies,
dreaming Of the day when he should
become lawyer and swing men by
his oratory. He used to do his arith-
metic examples on the wooden fire
shovel, whiting Off the figures when
it was all covered over, and begin
ming with a fresh wooden surface
again.
Whitman in The Road to Happl-
ness is just such a struggling, pow
erty- and ambition young
village type as was this youthful
Abraham Lincoln. He is carpenter,
glazier. horse doctor, anything in the
jack of all trades line by day, and
burns the midnight kerosene over his
law books. He has the same integrity
of character, the same native humor
and wit, the same Shrewd Yankee
GOODNESS and sense of right that char
acterized Lincoln and SO many Of the
great men VI Oui ISSPGbl4S. <ADONC IA,
Whitman has that American courage
which Is defined in the play Itself as
confidence in the truth and it is this
which brings him to sunshine and sue
cess at the end of The Road to Hap
piness.'
The unique Hodge will be seen in
this Lincoln like character Of Whit
man, with which he has already enter
tanned Chicago audiences whole year
and Boston audiences throughout the
past four months, at the Opera House
on Thursday evening, Jan. 7th. Prices

Washington, Nov. 1.-The United States has declined to express any opinion as to whether it approves the proposed change in China from a republic to a monarchy,
 It became known today that some of the interested powers, in seek ing to sound out the Washington government informally, had learned that the latter would take no steps that might be construed as au in terGerence in the internal concerns Of another sovereign state.
 Interest in the Far EasJe.n situ- atiou. which has for months been oyer-shadowed by the controversies of the European war, was revived ir official quarters by a dispatch aa- uouucing the resignation of the Chinese premier, Hsu Shin Chang. This development was regarded as significant, because a few weeks ago the premier made 30 public statement saying that as 8 former official of the Mancbu dynasty he would not serve under another eIn- peror.
 The Chinese government itself has not asked for the views of the United States, and officially no thing has been said here on the subject. It is known here, how ever, that privately the hope is entertained in Washington that the change will not be made. This is

based not only on the natural sym putby for the republican form of government, but because of the be- lief that the change might effect tue political equilibrium of the Far East at this time. The fact that President Yuan Shi Kai was elected for a term of ten years and is in dominant control of the situation appears to those conyersant with Far Eastern affairs to make any change at present unnecessary and ill-timed.
 American Minister Reinscb has re ported from Peking that the Jap anese and British governments seemed to be opposed to the change, and officials here were not sur prised to learn through press dis patches of the call at the Chinese foreign office of the British, Rus sian and Japanese ministers and or the formal statement from Tokyo Of Japaus opposition. The Ameri- can minister. having received no in instructions from Washington, has aot participated in any of the parIeys on the subject at PeEing.
 Both the British and Japanese embassies here are watching the situation closely, and the same views that were reported in Picking dispatches today as being expressed by the British and l Japanese min isters were reflected by the ambas- sadors here.
