Revision of the

Throughout England

| Correspondence Of Tho Associated Press.)
London, Sept. o.-Under direction Of
the earl of Crewe, the new president
OF the Board OF Education, the board
is busily preparing for the revision Of
education that is regarded as impera,
tive as result OF new conditions fol,

of science as applied to industry, in

OF the acquisition of trade.
Though, on account OF the large
number of science instructors absent
on war service, it will be difficult to
the actual science courses under way,
it is understood that the scheme, when
launched, will prove to be a wide and
comprehensive one. A remarkable
feature, for instance, as illustrating
the whole-hearted conviction to be en-
countered, is the unmistakable con-
viction among manufacturers all over
the country as to the wisdom of con-

One More Problem
For The Hague

The Hague, Netherlands, Sept. o.
A bill empowering the introduction
of European and native CONSUMPTION
in the Dutch East Indies has beer
placed before parliament by the min
lister for the colonies, TIL. B. Pleyte
who declares that it is intended to in.
troduce this drastic reform in that
colony as speedily as possible,
This question has been under dis
cussion for some time, a prominent
member of the general staff Of the
Netherlands East Indies having
drawn up and advocated plans for a
conscript army OF 10000 natives. 1t
raises many important points, how
ever, so that it may be some time yet
in arriving, but opinion generally in
Holland seems to be coming to re-
gard it as inevitable If the colony is
to be put in serious state of defense.
The service obligation for Euro
peans, says the minister, will begin at
about the same age as in the mother
country, that is, twenty years, and
last for thirteen years, including Pc
,riod OF active training that will not
be longer than one year, with sub
scquent fortnight with the colors
every three years.

PEOPLE FROM ABROAD
INCREASE WAR FUND
Former Britishers and Friends
of England Contribute Cash
to Help Along War.
SOME FROM AMERICA

| Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
London, Sept. 5.-Officials of the
treasury have been surprised by the
steady inflow Of gifts from all parts
of the empire and from former Brit
ishers in neutral countries in the form
of cash, toward meeting the expenses
of the war. The donors range from
men and women to small boys and
girls, the former sending sums mount
ing up as high as $1,000 and the lat
ter renting the contents OF their
savings banks. A total of many thou
sands Of pounds has been sent. Sums
ranging from a shilling to a thousand
pounds are acknowledged \ with the
same promptness and politeness by
the treasury.
Many gifts are accompanied by
notes explaining that they are de-
signed as substitutes for personal
service at the front, and one man in
Canada explains that sum Of E200
is intended as payment for schooling
obtained in England half century
ago.
St. Louis Man Contributes.
A firm in Sandakan, British North
Borneo, sent $500, explaining that
as that territory contributes nothing
toward the finances of the empire,
while enjoying all benefits of British
protection, they wished to be allowed
to discharge a portion of their obi

LOOMS UP Big IN
AFFAIRS OF CHINA
Tang Shao vi, Once Discred.
tied Premier of Republic,
Now Comes Into Own.
HE TALKS OF THE FUTURE

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Shanghai, China, Sept. l.-Tang
Shao-yi, who was the first premier
under the Chinese republic, but in
Cured the displeasure of Yuan Shi-
kai and had been out OF favor for a
period of four years, has again doomed
big in Chinese affairs and is the CEN
ter OF the crowd of ultra republicans
at Shanghai who are endeavoring to
direct the reorganization OF the re-
public.
Tang Shao-yi was educated in
America, and became known in Of
ficial circles there when he was sent
to Washington in 1908 to thank the
United States government for re-
turning to China the portion of the
Boxer indemnity money which ex-
ceeded the actual losses suffered by
American citizens through the Boxer
rebellion.
Associated with Tang Shao-yi in
the present effort to direct the reor-
ganization of the Chinese government
along more democratic lines are DR..
WI Tingfang, former minister to the
United States; DR.. Sun Yat-sen, first
provisional president Of the Chinese
republic, and many other Chinese OF
international reputation.
Remains With Associates.
Although Tang Shao-yi was desig-
mated minister OF foreign affairs in
the compromise cabinet formed BY
Premier Tuan Chi-jui after the death
OF President Yuan Shi-kai, he has not
yet gone to Picking to assume his
duties, preferring to remain in con-
ference with his associates at Shang-
hal until his cabinet appointment shall
have been ratified by the parliament
reassembled under the terms OF the
Marking provisional constitution pro-
claimed by President Ii Yuan-hung
to be the legal constitution of China
pending the drafting OF permanent
constitution under the direction of
parliament.
Tang Shao-yis home on Range
road in this city is large European
house, surrounded by walled garden,
bright with tropical flowers and foil
age. The house has many verandas
and reception rooms, which were
filled with Chinese political leaders
waiting for conferences with him at
the time the Associated Press cor
respondent called and was received in
audience by the Shanghai leader.
Future Of China.
Tang Shao-yi discussed the future
of China very optimistcally. II am
very hopeful concerning the outcome
OF the present crisis" he said II
believe recent disaster has taught.
Chinese leaders valuable lesson. II
has been demonstrated that the
Chinese are earnest about wanting a
republic, and will not tolerate leaders
who desire to thwart the public will
and direct affairs to suit their per-
sonal ambition.

perors. They retained their position
through military strength and
through that alone. By sending north
ern troops into all the southern pro-
vinces they dominated the south, but
never won the loyalty and affection
of southerners. 1t has always been
very offensive to the south to have
troops quartered upon it who spoke
different dialects and were really for
eigners to the south.
Must Have New Method.
"Under the republic the same
tactics were followed. Soldiers from
the provinces north of the Yang-tse
were quartered upon the southern
provinces, just as in the Manchu
days. 1t was continuation of the
old military domination. This sys-
tenn will not work. Southern
provinces will not submit longer to
any such indignity, and there will
never be any peace in China until new
methods are adopted. think the
time has come when leaders in all
sections realize this, and expect to
see parliament allowed a free hand
to correct the old abuses"
Tang Shao-y3s native province is
Kwantung, the center of the greatest
political strife in China at the present
time. When asked if he thought
Kwangtung province will be har-
monized and brought into line
through the efforts of parliament,
Tang Shaggy responded in the af-
firmative. He said all the troubles
in Kwangtung now are traceable di-
rectly to military domination, and can
be cured by meeting the demands OF
the Cantonese for the withdrawal of
northern troops and the maintenance
of order through the use of the To-
cal military
