CHINESE REBELS NOT AIDED BY JAPANESE Former Governor of Yunnan Says Rebels Are Depend :
 ing on Own Resources

Peking, May .-(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-Tang Chi-yao, former military governor of Yunnan province, and now one of the most prominent revolutionary leaders, was interviewed at Yunnanfu by corre- spondent representing the Picking and Tien-tsin Times.
 Tang Chi-yao is credited with hav- ing said: "Yunnan was selected Tor the revolution because of it's location beyond mountain defiles forming an impregnable natural fortress. The re- volt could have been started in other parts of China because many persons were ready to join such a movement but the friends of republicanism be- lieved Yunnan had more natural ad- vantages"
 Tang Chi-yao denied the charge that Japan is assisting the Yunnanese. He said: "We are receiving no assistance from Japan or any other foreign coun- try We regard it as unfortunate that the unrest should come upon our coun- try with all the world at war, but the central government was thrice warned and the fault does not rest with us"
 Tang Chi-yao said the Yunnan gov ernment is very friendly to foreigners and welcomes the fullest investigation of the true condition in China by for eign powers. At present he said the revolutionists have more than 30 Chi nese of modern education directing the movements of troops in the field and are receiving large sums of money from friends of the republic in all parts of China.

mortars were busy and their great weighing five hundred pounds could be watched during their entire slow flight from the muzzle of the gun to their destination. Each one fell directly in the German trenches some two hundred yards from where the correspondents stood and the enor- nous black clouds of earth thrown up by the explosions indicated that at least great material damage was be- ing done.
 The return march was made for half a mile along the parallel and was rendered very interesting from the fact that the occupants of a German aeroplane had noticed the movement in the trench. He immediately be- gan to display an unfriendly spirit by dropping several bombs, which, how ever, did no damage. Meanwhile several French flyers approached and a lively exchange of machine gun fire ensured until the Germans returned to their own lines.
 In the interval the correspondents were advised on account of the brisk ness of the firing to take refuge in the majors dugout. While there they could hear much more plainly than in the open the terrific bombardment by several hundred batteries then in pro- gress in preparation for an attack by the British north of the Somme, the earth seemingly acting as more del icate conductor than the air. It was afterward learned when the party re- turned under cover of night to the generals quarters that the British had taken a thousand prisoners and had made further advance.

The stage settings are a revelation of the possibilities of the modern the- atre. To those who have not closely followed the astounding development of the scenic art, as advanced by Bakst, Benoit and Jones, the settings will be a discovery. No such riot of color has before appeared on the American stage, and the manner of handling these glowing effects is as extraordinary as it is; original.
 No nation ir the world has cultivat- ed congressional dancing as fully as Russia. The Russian is a natural born dancer, and in addition to this racial and temperamental fitness, the Ballet is the result of centuries of tradition. Each ballet dancer is trained from early childhood under severe regi- men which requires not less than six hours practice daily over many years. AS result the Russian Ballet is com parable to no organization in the world.
