Straits Settlements and in Europe are furnishing millions of dollars to the revo1utionists. A single merchant in Hong Kong is reported to have sub- scribed half a million, and pledged his whole fortune to the movement. The Central Government is canvassing the foreign situation carefully, and is endeavoring to ascertain the attitude of the overseas merchants towards the present situation.
 So far foreign interests apparently have not suffered as a result of the revolution in Yunnan. GreaI care has been taken by the revoIutionists to avoid a conflict with foreign inter- ests. The French and British have greater interests in Yunnan than any other powers. and the consular rep resentatiVes of those two nations in Yunnar have made favorable reports so far to their legations in Picking. Yunnan adjoins French Indo-China and Burma. Consequently, the French and English are much con ble in that province. Only recently the French completed negotiations with the Chinese for the settlement of boundary disputes.
 Tsai 40 and his associates in the rebellion are seriously in need of ready money to carry on their activi- ties and immediately after they de- clared their independence of the Pe- king Government they began to cast about for sources of revenue.
 The agencies of the salt gabelle, or salt monopoly, in Yunnan formerly yielded the Chinese Central Govern ment an annual income of about $6OO,000 gold. Agents of the revolu- tionary leaders approached the for eign agents who have charge of the salt stations and demanded that here after the Central Governments share of the revenue be turned over to them as Yunnan is now a separate govern ment and has a right to it's own reve- nues As the salt gabelIe is the se- curity for a loan participated in by five European powers, the agents de-

Former United States Senator Will liam Lorimer, who was unseated, is an interested but not a perturbed spectator of the fight in Chicago to put him behind the bars of the state penfteniary. He was placed on trial before Judge William E. Dever of the criminal court, charged with conspir- acy as president of the La Sale Street Trust and Savings bank, to wreck the bank and it's subsidiaries. Three fn- dictments returned against him, charging conspiracy to defraud by false pretenses receiving deposits when the bank was inso1vent and a. confidence game resulting from alleg- ed misrepresentation of the banks as- sets. were consolidated by stipulation. The defense will be that Lorimer, as president of the bank. knew nothing of any improper conduct of the banks affairs. and so cannot be guilty of conspiring to bring about a situation that lost their savings to hundreds of depositors. On the other hand the state is bu1warked with nearly hun dred1 witnesses.

Amateur Circus of
 Y. M. c. A. Interests
 Appreciative Audience

Few Bridgeporters remember an Amateur production that contained more thrill than did the r. M. e. A boys circus and minstrel. given in the, gymnasium of the Y. M. c. A. last night.
 The opening number, Grand En- trance March" was greeted with hearty applause, over 50 participants of the show were in this march. John Ugohck, as Uncle Sam, led the march and made decided hit with the aud- fence. Fourteen High school boys de- picted the athletic jubilee in ia gym nastic dance, the boys were dressed as clowns and gave a very graceful exhibition of gymnastic dancing. Ed ward Shaw and Bruno Smiling in a sketch, "A Fool There Was" proved to be real laugh manufacturers The regular gymnasium class of the erp- pIoyed boys which was led by Ralph Huda gave a very interesting drill with Indian clubs Laid at Rest, ,' by a comedy company was one of the best numbers of the program. In this number Policeman Levy shot a clown and the cortege and burial followed shortly. The boys leader crops, under the direction of Assistant Physical Director Harry Abbott, furnished the seventh number of the program.
 By special permit four-round boxing match was staged. The ninth number was a drill and dance by the leaders corps. Tumbilities, the eleventh number. by, the BIaury-Car Troupe was a tumbling act that few amateur performers can equal. George Warek gave a novel and interesting exhibition of club swinging.
 ! Professor Shamdoubt Hercules gave an exhibition of heavy weight lifting and amused the audience by bending heavy iron bars S-%lb1e. The profes- sor also succeeded in tearing horse shoes apart and performed many other wonderful feats of strength. The cir GUS came to close when the gram mar school boys gave wand drill. The drill was admirably executed and the parents of the boys who took part were somewhat surprised by, the per- formances of their youngsters in this number.
 The last half of the show was a Hainstre1. given under thed irection of @=>xst Fitch.

sis in children under five, 7s per cent, are the result of tuberculosis other than pulmonary.
 Four years ago, tue government gave to the Women sHealth associa- ton a grant to provide sanatorium treatment for tuberculosis patients un- der the insurance act. The associa- ton began it's work, overcoming the objections of neighbors near and far and erected a sanatorium near Dub lin; but the grant proved insufficient to carry out the associations plans for other buildings. And then, came the war.
 Threat of Bankruptcy
 Contractors who had agreed to work on the deferred-payment plan are, in the majority of cases, willing to finish the work and wait for payment, but not so in every case. Since the asso- citation is incorporated, no member can be liable for more than 10 per cent: but it is possible for creditors to present a petition to court to have the association wound up and thus realize a certain amount to meet liabilities.
 Should these contractors carry out their threat to wind up the assoeia- ton and it's work, the beginnings SO valuable in themselves, so promising for the social and individual advance ment of Ireland's sick will be sum marily brought to nothing.
 The impending danger to the asso- citation, especially to it's plans for extensive child welfare, make appeal 10 ali in this country who claim Irish history and traditions as their own and indeed all to whom the welfare of children is a, matter of concern.

BRYAN ASKS WILSON
TO OUTLINE REASONS
Says President Has Heard
From Biased Sources and
Should Be Frank

Mama, Fla, Jan. 2S.-As hon vOy-
age message on the eve of President
Wilson s departure on his middle west
ern preparedness stumping tour, form
er Secretary of State Bryan today is
sued a statement challenging him to
outline his reasons for urging prepared
ness. He did not, however, hint at
what his own future plans are, with re-
spect to the administration program.
" | cordially commend the presi-
dent s plan to lay before the voters his
reasons for asking further prepared
ness, said the statement. 1.-The peO-
pie are entitled to all the light possible
in order that they may intelligently
advise the public servants in congress.
They have heard from the manufactur-
ers of munitions to whom preparedness
is sort of an "outdoor relief; they
have heard from the big corporations
which want large army to overawe
their employees; they also have heard
from army and navy experts who,
magnifying their calling, plan to meet
every imaginable danger.
Having heard fully from all these
biased sources, the public will appre-
ciate a statement from the president
setting forth the reasons that have led
him to urge so radical departure from
the historic policy of his party and the
traditions of te nation.
"The sum which the president asks
for the army and navy would absorb
most the entire income of all Ameri-
can farmers, and the scheme would
work complete revolution in ideals,
governmental methods, and the charac-
ter of the influence we viii exert on
the world.
