 Yuan ShtKa, Picking reports, has found the im- peria crown uneasy wear has returned 1t to the his torica museum, and has again donned the Chinese equivalent to the presidential top hat of the western world. As the official State Department announcement puts it, the popular demand for return to monarchy "is unanimous" therefore Yuan rejects the Elm. perorship and resumes the Presidency
 The fact is that the Chinese. confronted with proposal to return to monarchy proceeded to hold referendum somewhat in the way which the custom Of our neighbors to the southward have made famil lar They started revolutions, and the revolutions marched" They convinced Yuan Shi Kai that his fellow countrymen were ready for return to i'm memorial styles in governmental headgear and pie. ferred the newer fashion late.y introduced Thus fall to the ground the "we-toldyousos" of many learned contributors British reviews who know the East" and were so sure that the Chinese didn't and never would understand a republic and SO would inevitably" return to monarchy.

HIGH MINING AUTHORITY SUPPORTS PRESIDENT

The Mining and Scientific Press. recognized a one of the two or three greatest mining publication in the world. has strongly endorsed the Mexican DO icy of President Wilson and uncomprOmisngly chai tises those who oppose it. In the current number tn great San Francisco mining paper says:
 No surprise need be felt that President Wilson should have issued warning against sinister influences that are seeking to embron the United States in war with Mexico. During recent weeks the dlsreputable portIon-mueh the arger-of the daily press has been pub fishing all kinds of fictitious stories about events in Chihuahua and elsewhere n Mexico; it has indulged in lot of nonsense and some plain lying about the American expe- ditionarv force its movements. and its pur- poses. Undoubtedly there persons along the border who are actively engaged in orig mating rumors of the most sensational sort and there are others distant from the border who are playing the same game for tae pprpose of bringing about intervention in the interest of certain American owners of Mexi- can propertes" The interests of the mining nrogession and those of this technical pueli- cation would we believe. be advanced by an intervention that would insure law ana oFoer in Mexico. but have no right to leopard ize the political welfare of the United States and the lives Of thousands of our fellow clti' zens in working insidiously to bring about such climax We believe that 1t is incon' sisfent with the honor of the United States to interfere in Mexican affairs long as we rec ocnize the government of that country excep, In SO far as that government gives consent Tho lime may come when the logic or events will compel drastic action; meanwhile i, is onr duty Co support the President and ,he moderate policy endorsed by Congress-

Not only does tho opposition to the administration find 1t impossible to unite foreign policy and as result finds itself voting with the President, but now comes the Republican Congressional campaign committee declaring that the Republicans have no in- tention of introducing another ultra high tariff gram In case of victory. piece of campaign litera- ture sent out for use during the week beginning April 9th says that the Republicans do purpose ever to impose a Dlngley or a Payne,Aldrich tariff on the country Thus, one by one, the Wilson policies are becoming the American policies

 What will Terrible Teddy do to the editor of the Duluth Herald who has gone back n the files of The Outlook and from the issue for September 2S, 1914, resurected these remarks by Teddy himself?
 "A delegation of Belgans has arrived to
 Invoke our assistance What action gov
 ernment can or will take do not know.
 Tt has been assumed that action
 be taken that will interfere with our neutral
 ity It is certainly eminenty desirable that
 we should remain entirely neutral and noth-
 ing but urgent need would warrant breaking
 our neutrality. and taking sides one way or
 the other.
 "of course it would be folly to jump in.
 to the gulf ourselves to good purpose, and
 very probably nothing we could do would have
 helped Belgium. We have not the smallest
 responsibility for what has happened her.
 and am sure that the sympathy of this
 country for the suffering of the men,
 men and children of Belgium s very real
 Nevertheless. this sympathy Is compatI
 ble with full acknowledgement of the unwis
 dom of uttering single word of official pro-
 test unless we are prepared to make that pro
 test effective; and cnly the clearest and most
 urgent national duty would justify in
 deviating from rule of neutrality and non interference"
 And what does the Teddy of today have to say of the Teddy of September %, 1914? The Teddy of today cannot find too much to say about our failure to smash neutrality and wade into the war because of Germanys treatment of Belgium in the summer of 1914? He cannot be too fierce in his denunclaon of Woodrow Wilson because he did not plunge Into war for Belgium alongside of Great Britain And at the time whom he wrote his Outlook contribution, in Sep tember. 1914 the outrage Belgium considerably lresher in the public mindif not in the Roosevelt h is today. nearly two years later Why does The Colonel furiousy arraign the Presi- dent for following the very policy which The Colonel himself in 1914 proclaimed the proper policy?
 Can 1t be because The Colonel Is nearly two years closer the campaign which he longs to see place in the White House as Woodrow Wilson's successor some one whose initials IT. R. and like the rest of the longers for that successorshp he can find muni- tions for his fight except blind abuse of the he would succeed?

SOLDIERS MAKE CAFE
IN SALONIKI FAMOUS

Saloniki-( British Official Eye-Wit-
ness -Floca's has become the social
focus of the entente armies In the Bal
kans Some such rendezvous comes to
be associated with almost every ex-
heard's hotel in Cairo was the place
through which everyone passed sooner
or later in the time of the Sulan cam
paigns; the Rand club at Johannes
burg fulfilled a similar function in
South Africa. Here the same unex-
peCted greatness has been thrust upon
FlOca's, so that its name will always
remain in the memory of those told off
to spend this tedious winter at Sa,
! loniki
Floca's in peace times was just a
commonplace cafe, with no more than
the modest distinction Of being the
best of such establishments in Salon
Xxi. Here on an ordinary week day
were to be found sprlnking of Levan-
tine gentlemen drinking Turkish cof-
fee while they discussed with fluent
gestures the latest political rumors
from Athens.
Its fortunate proprietor, who like so
many others here is making a small
fortune, has to thank two of the most
cherished allied institutions-the Eng
lishman's afternoon tea and the
Frenchman's afternoon aperitif or ap-
petizer. From o'clock in the after
noon until s, Floca's is more densely
populated than any spot in Saloniki.
1t is filled with officers of the allied
armies-base officers, camp officers
embarkation officers, staff officers, fly
ing officers, French, British, Serbian,
Greek-such a varied collection of Of
ficers of every rank and corps that
Floca's might be the animated fash
iOn-book of a military tailor of inter-
national clientele.
But Floca's would hardly be a sue
| cess in fashionable London. Its en-
trance is beset by an importunate
horde Of ragged urchins. It's Greek
walters, Of sinister aspect, only con-
descend to serve when their attention
is attracted by series Of sharp hand
claps. But in Saloniki men count
themselves lucky to find a table free,
/ and for those who have lived for
months on barren mountain side 1t
is shadowy and distant reproduction
of the institution of home.

SENIORS COMEDY
READY FOR STAGE
Rock Island High School Students
Promise Surprise for Friends
in Contrary Mary"
TWO PERFORMANCES PLANNED
Fifteen Young People Have Roles in
Presentation Prepared for Tonight
and Tomorrow Evening.

All is now ready for what promises
to be the success of the season, the
senior class play at the Rock Island
high school this evening and tomorrow
evening at O'Clock. The title of the
play is Contrary Mary" and, as in
dictated by its name, it is farce COM
edy The playlet is in three acts and
is presented by a cast of 10 charac-
teTs.
The principals in the play John and
Mary Erwin, whose parts are taken by
Franklin Searle and Miss Fay Booth,
respectively, are newly married cou-
pie who soon discover that there are
Roman noses on both sides of the
house. A disagreement occurs before
long and Contrary Mary" decides
upon separation and life in an art
studio, by which occupation she for
merly made a meager living. Her
privileged cook, Miss Teresa Murphy,
accompanies her
Mary soon finds out that her occu-
patton is not lucrative enough to keep
her much above starvation. Neverthe-
less, she will not change her decision,
and secures, lawyer to arrange about
divorce proceedings. Meanwhile her
faithful cook is secretly plotting with
the lawyer TO effect a reconciliation
between the pair. The assistance Of
Mary's father is also procured in the
matter and he caps the climax by let
ting his daughter know that all OF her
pictures are being bought by him and
that their merit would never be suffl-
cient to earn her living. This brushes
Mary's idea Of independence and final
ly, when she and her husband are
brought together ostensibly for the
purpose Of furthering the separation
proceedings, the long absence from
each other produces its effect and the
two unite once more. although it is
first necessary that the husband make
slight concession to his spouse
The humorous portion of the story
comes in the second act, when the
Irish cook, Teresa Murphy, and the
Swedish janitoress, Juno Jergeson,
have a disagreement in Mary's studio.
The acting in this part is perfect and
the two will likely bring down the
house. Another important feature in
the play is genuine thunderstorm
something never before tried in the
school. This occurs in the third act
and is made very realistic by several
devices worthy of professional play
house.
These in the Play.
The cast of characters for the play
is as follows:
