CHINA IN DISPUTE
" OVER NEW OFFICERS

According to the statement of Chi
nese authorities in Japan, reaching
Honolulu papers, the most important
problems confronting China at pre-
sent are the election of vice-presi-
dent and the appointment of the min
isterial members. The southerners
want to elect Gen. Tuan as vice-presi-
dent, and Tang-Shao-Yi as premier,
so that they may get the control of
the state. but the northerners seek
to elect Hsu-Shih-C Chang to the post
of vice-president and appoint Gen.
Tuan as premier and minister of war.
maintaining that since the president
is southerner the yice-president
should be northerner. ..
The appointment of minister of war
is most important In China, since the
party which has the command of the
troops dominates the situation in the
Republic. 1t is for this reason that
Gen. Tuan declares that he will not
accept the vice-presidency unless he
be given also the post of minister of
war. -. H.: r.. .'.:z.. -. =:"

and Eugene Field, children's favorite
poets, we're told to about half hum
dred children at the Atkinson park
playground Monaay afternoon by Mrs.
Brooks, wife Of Rev. Raymond C..
Brooks, d. d., of Berkeley, Cal.
Although most of the children were
Hawaiians with scattering of Portu.
guese, japanese and Chinese, all be-
tween the ages of four and IL years,
they seemed to especially enjoy the
representations of the Hoosier poet,
judging from their interested and keen
attention. "A Perfect Rest by Riley,
was one of the most popular selec-
tons.
Mrs. Margaret Waldron, in charge
of the Atkinson playground work, is
chiefly responsible for the enjoyable
affairs arranged this summer for the
children although she is ably assisted
by Mrs. F. NJ. Swanzy, who is partic-
ularly interested in Kakaako district.
Besides a number of amusements,
including croquet set, photograph,
checker boards and swings, the chill
dren are taught domestic duties.
