Pigeons Prove Wars
 Surest Messengers

Behind the Somme Front, Sept. 16 Scattered along the German lines in France but several miles to the rear are a succession of Carrier Pigeon Stations" which form an effective link in the German scheme of, defense, and in times of extreme stress can bec"1ne well nigh invaluable. Especially is this the case when all other means of communication from the front trenches with the rear are destroy ed.
 In the trenches are kept cages of trained pigeons. The birds are kept constantly in practice so that in times of emergency they will go without fail to some station to give word of disast- CT that might have been telephoned, had not the telephone connection been shot away or otherwise destroy ed./
 The messages are written on tiny pieces of paper, enclosed in thimble- like aluminium containers which are attached to a leg of the bird, and the fliers are released. If longer mess- ages must be sent, or maps have to be transmitted, these are enclosed in a larger container which is attached to a sort of harness that can be put over the birds head and fitted tight to its body.

II YUAN-HuNC
 ASKS UNITY IN
 CHINA CABINET
Welfare of New Republic Depends on Cooperative
 Striving, He Says.

Peking, Sept. 16-President Lii Yuan-hung, entertaining the members of parliament at an informal tea party in the Foreign Office building. deliv- cred brief address asking for the united support of the members in ap- proving the compromise cabinet. The president said:
 We have just passed through a great crisis; and your advice is needed on many questions of reform. These I shall cubmit to you in due course and wait for your decision. What the country has been looking forward to is the formation of Cabinet. Yuan-hung Is man of small virtue; and he greatly fears that, in spite of the utmost care, he may after all have failed to select men sufficiently talented to meet the requirements of the day and to satisfy the expectations of the people. This much, however, he is able to say. After two months of careful selection and many changer after the appointments were actually made, he has chosen a body of men, who, while they may not be perfect in themselves, are nevertheless good for certain reasons.
 "In my opinion. as restoration of the Republic has been accomplished by the work of many, the personnel of the Cabinet cannot be limited to per sons of any one party. On this prin- ciple Yuan-hung decided to form the present cabinet. It is hoped that you will take into consideration the difi- culties that are before us and bear the same in mind when the Cabinet is sub mitted to you for approval
 "As to the livelihood of the people and the program of national recon struction, hundreds and thousands of questions are involved. These I shall consult you about from time to time for your valuable opinion. I hope you will, when you have time after your work in Parliament, often call on me so that misunderstanding may be avoided. Unlearned as Yuan-hung is. he intends to treat with you Mn the spirit of frankness and sincerity to the end that we may all cooperate in the great task of building up the nation. Be assured that shall be pleased to accept your valuable advice"

CHINESE PREMIER .DISPR0VES RUM0R
 ABOUT ASSIGNING
Says He Will Stand Firm Despite Criticism of His
 Acts.

Picking, Sept. 16.-Prernier Tuan Chi-jui is constantly strengthening his hold upon the Picking government. In spite of efforts to displace him, his popularity has increased. He is gen. erally recognized as a stalwart mill itary leader who is eual to the pres ent emergency. Rumors of his possi- ble resignation have been circulated repeatedly, but these were set at rest by letter the premier has sent to a friend who wrote urging him to con- tinue in office. In this letter he says:
 Your kind view that my retaining or my resigning office is vitally con- nected with the affairs of State serves only to make me realize how incom- potent I am. Tuan's career has so far been an exceedingly strenuous one and full of unpleasant turns. As the re- suit of many hardships suffered, it was once his intention to live retired life. He would follow in the footsteps of the ancients and spend the rest of his days in the deep forests. It hap pened, however, the country was thrown into endless difficulties, and Tuan was compelled by the people, for internal and external reasons, to abandon his seclusion.
 "He has asked himself this ques ton: What shall I say to excuse my self if I suffer the country to be plunged into perdition after having had a hand in the making of the Re- public from the beginning This view led him to completely change his mind and to throw himself into the whirlpool. He swears that he will rot retire until the causes of trouble in the country have all disappeared. Tre boasts not that he, an old and stupid man, can be of such use to the country; but he believes fully in the words of the Buddha: Who will enter hell. if I do not?' In patriotism he flatters himself that he is not much in the rear of others. And fortunate ly the wise people of our day are ca- pablo of understa ndlng him.
 Whether attempts are made to lead him astray with the offer of an empty honor or to intimidate him by threats be assured that your young brother will stand unmoved under all circum- stances. He begs thus to pour out his heart in reply to your heartfelt inquiry"

Statuette of Favorite
 of Louis XIV. 150
 Years Old Recovered

Paris, Sept. 16.-The national porce. lain factory at Sevres has just recov. cred a dainty statuette which it prizes more than any of the famous works of the establishment for it is the ori- ginal figure of Madame de Pompadoul which the Sevres factory made and presented to her over 150 years ago in gratitude for her founding the in. stit ution.
 Mime. de Pompadour's name is chiefly linked with the gay life o1 Louis XIV. But the famous beauty not only vied with Mime. de Barry in the gay world, but she also exercised much influence in the serious affairs Of state. One of the most notable o1 these works was the creation of the Sevres porcelain factory which Is 8 national institution with an output ol fine ceramics famous the world over the first patron of the institution and to this day "Pompadour blue designates some of the most delics te pieces of old Sevres ware.
 And that is why,'' said M. Bour- geois, administrator of Sevres, that we prize 50 highly this statuette of
 
 recovered after being lost these many years"
 The administrator pointed out the statuette, which was carefully guarded in a glass case. It showed the favor ite of Louis XIV. garbed as a shep- herdess and leaning against an urn in the gardens of Versailles. Very another statuette of Louis XIV. had been placed alongside the re- covered relic, so that just as in the old days of reality at Sevres Louis and Pompadour were here united again in the same place.
 AS this statuetee was specially modelled as gift" MT. Bourgeois ex- plained, "the /moulds were destroyed after few copies had been made. AS a rule scores of examples of @ work are made, and 1t is comparatively easy to obtain one of the originals, as to make another copy from the moulds which are preserved. But as this was a special gift to the founder of our in- stitution, it went only to her, and all other traces of the work were lost or destroyed. We had long known of the existence of the statue and had longer to recover such historic work mark ing the foundation of Sevres. It was only by chance that we got track of it lately, and it was brought back as the most precious relic of the institution which made it as a gift to its foun- der"
