CHINESE PRINCESS K

HER POLITICS.-It is said that the
speech of the little Chinese princess,
Miss Jue Quon Tai, who is now trav-
cling in, this country, needs censor
ing. She has acquired, it seems, a
precocious aptitude for American
slang.
But those who censure Miss Jue
for her language can hardly do so
for her ideas.
When she was asked, do you
think there is any chance of your
country becoming a monarchy" she
replied, "A1 the chance in the world.
The royal party has all the money!"

deeper political insight?

WESTERN ARENA.

The territory north of Souain in the
Champagne region of France has been
the scene of determined fighting. The
Germans early in the week attempted
an offensive movement at this point and
succeeded in capturing 500 yards of
French trenches Paris later declared
that the ma ajority of these had been
reclaimed.
According to all reports the Germans
have dispatched a great number of
troops from other arenas to the west
ern line. and although there has been
no sign of a general offensive along
the whole front, 1t is declared in Paris
that this is possible. French, British
and Belgian troops are preparing for
such contingency. Military experts
of entente capitals are more inclined
to believe that the reported transfer
of troops is for the purpose of
Strengthening the western line to pre-
vent any allied offensive in this sec
ton.
Aerial activity has been marked along
practically the whole front and all
belligerents report the shooting down
of enemy machines. Artillery action
continues over practically the entire
