probably capture the burglars. He

Not Expected to Last
Long.

Correspondence Of Associated Press
PICKING, August lS.--Tuan Chi-jui's
new cabinet represents practically all
political parties in China. as well as

not seem to appeal very strongly to
any Of the political parties, and pre-
dictiOns are general that the new cab
met will not last for many months.
Tang ShaO-yi, the new minister OF
foreign affairs, and several OF the
other members Of the cabinet will not
be able 20 come to Picking for some
time Political conditions here are
still very much unsettled, and prob
ably will be for many months. 1t was
not anticipated that the reconvening
on August OF the parliament which
Yuan Shi-kai disbanded, would i'm
mcdiately bring about solution OF the
political difficulties.
Representatives of the various prom
lncnt political leaders Of the south
who dare not come to Peking at this
time have gathered in the capital, and
others are coming daily Scores OF
members Of the old parliament are all
ready in PCking engaging in political
controversy. About two hundred 9TH
or members of the old parliament are
gathered in Shanghai, where they are
meeting Informally and keeping in
! touch with the situation in the capital
Hsu Shih-ying. the new minister OF
the interior, was a Judge under the
Using dynasty. and rose to the rank
OF minister Of justice in the early days
OF the republic He was forced to
resign this position. and later became
governor Of Fukien province, a post
which he held until the outbreak OF
hostilities in the present revolution.
Chang KuO-kan. the new minister Of
commerce and agriculture, was a mem
her OF the state council under Yuan
Shi-kai. and was intimately connected
with the mOnarchial movement
Sung Hung-yi. the new minister Of
education, has been a prominent poll
tician most of his life. He took strong
position in opposition to Yuan Shi-
kai's monarchial movement, and did
able work for the republican cause at
Shanghai,
Chang Yao-tseng. who becomes min
lister of justice in the new cabinet, is
graduate Of a japanese university
and a member of the parliament which
Yuan Shi-kal disbanded. He formerly
taught in the government university at
Picking. When the monarchial move
ment was started last year he left the
capital and joined the revolutionists in
Yunnan province.
Admiral Chen Pih-kuan. who be
comes minister of the navy, was edu-
Gated in British naval school, and
has served in the Chinese navy most
of his life He was captain COM
manding the cruiser Haichi when the
revolution broke out in 1911. For
some time he served as naval adviser
to the late President Yuan Shi-kai.

Santa Claus Is Overworked.

Santa Claus has sent word to his Girl
Scout assistants in Washington and to
his secretary at The Star that he will
be unable to answer any letters re-
ceived after today. because his CORE
spondence this year is heavier than

who has six brothers and two sisters
each of whom wants small present
and little candy. The part of his let
ter containing his name and address
was lost on its way to the north pole
and keen search has failed to find it.
Send another letter to the Girl Scout
headquarters, sol Woodward building,
in Washington, and the girls Will an
swer it.
The various Girl Scout troops in the
city are investigating the sources of
all the letters and making arrange
ments to answer them. Nearly every
thing, SO Gar, in the way of gifts has
been made by the girls themselves and
a few friends Troop 20, OF which Mrs
Frank A. Woodheld is captain, in the
northeast section of the city, has, with
the aid of friends. made fifty Santa
Claus stockings, and now IS filing them
with candy, fruit, nuts and small toys.

thing coming more directly from the
heart of the giver-
All contributions should be sent to
