which distrusts him. Furthermore,
Tsai 40 asked what guarantee there
is that Yuan Shi-kai will not make an
other attempt to restore the monarchy
after having quieted the revolution
which has produced SO much sorrow
and suffering.
In conclusion Fsai 40 pointed out
that the constitution makes president
ial succession quite clear. If Yuan
Shi-kai were to resign as the revolu-
tionists demand, Lii Yuan-hung would
automatically become president and
remain in the presidential chair pend
ing the meeting in the near future of
parliament which would elect a
prominent president from the follow
ing candidates, each of whom would
be acceptable to the nation: General
Ii Yuan-hung, the vice president; Gen
eral Tuan Chi-jui, chief of staff; Cen
eral Feng kuo-chang, military gov
ernor at Marking; and Hsu Shin
chang, the secretary of state.
All the revolutionary leaders do not
hold as radical views as Tsai 40. AL
ready number of prominent reyolu-
tionists have shown disposition to &C
cept Yuan Ehi-kai as president with a
proper safeguarding of the rights of
the public. There are evidences that
fighting has been discontinued within
many sections of the war zone, and a

Loss Is ESTIMATED AS $1,000
Dense Smoke Prevents Fighters From
Entering Building for Long
Partially Insured.

Stock and fixtures in the Rosenfield
millinery at III East Second street, in
Davenport, are a complete loss as re-
suit of a fire at o'clock last evening.
The damage is placed at $4,000 and
$4,000 of this amount is covered by in
suIance. The fire department battled
with the flames for over two hours be-
fore they were finally extinguished
and 50 gallons of chemicals were used.
The blaze started supposedly from a
match, carelessly thrown near a gas
range in the rear of the store. at clos
ing time about 6 o'clock. The fire
smoldered for several hours before it
was discovered. The thick smoke pre-
vented the fremen from entering the
building for time
One amusing incident connected
with the blaze was the fact that the
firemen- poured thousands of gallons of
water and some chemicals in the win
dow of the store. The display lights
continued to burn throughout the blaze
and through the dense smoke it looked
as though the entire window was
ablaze, Some time elapsed before
they discovered their mistake.
Carried Large Stock.
Miss Charlotte Rosenfeld, proprie-
tor of the store, had a large stock on
hand for spring and summer trade.
The greater part of the loss is con-
fined to stock. The building itself was
little damaged by the fire.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Curtain net dyed a pretty green
makes cool and serviceable summer
portiers.
Saturate a soft black cloth with
coal oil and hang out in the air a day
or two, and you will have good mex
pensive dustless buster.
A small piece of gauze bandage
placed back of tear in lace curtain
may be used to mend it with Darn it
in place and then draw out the threads
where not needed
When washing and rinsing colored
materials add teaspoon of EPSON
salts to each gallon of water, and even
the most delicate shades will neither
fade nor run. Serge or merino dresses
which have been dyed black can be
safely washed in this way without any
risk of the dye running.
Make Your Head Save Your Feet-If
you are taking anything to the cellar,
be sure to bring something up. If you
go upstairs, try to think of something
to bring down. Save as many steps as
you can and you won't be nearly SO
tired.

Munich, Germany.-The various
problems of war, particularly as they
affect women, has revived to an I'M
precedented degree in Bavaria dis
cussion as to the advisability and
feasibility of the plan, first preached
in the nineties, to compel women to
undergo sort of military service just
as men do. Their service, however,
would consist mainly of economic,
household and nursing duties.
There is unquestionably a large
number of people who have become
convinced that such a plan is highly
desirable, for they feel that this war
has brought out the fact clearly that
much good effort has gone to waste
through lack of knowledge on the
part of women who have willingly
tried to do something for their coun-
try, and who could have been able to
render great services if they only had
known how.
The proponents of universal train
ing and service for women, along one
line or another, comprise many of the
most notable social workers in Ba-
varia.

PAPER TO

Petrograd, May 5.-The Novoe
Vremya concludes its comment on
President Wilson's speech of May l be-
fore the national service school mill
tary encampment for young women
as follows:
The most peaceful lover of peace
has finally convinced himself that his
love of peace has only encouraged the
German government in trampling up
on all the laws of God and man. Even
at this last moment he has given Ger
many way out.
He threatens Germany not with
war but only with the breaking of
diplomatic relations. The speech,
however, shows he realizes the act
would lead to war.
THE German chancellor declares
that Germany has 40 new submarines

note Germany faces a choice of either
risking a collision with America or
swallowing the humiliation of sub
hitting to Americas demands"

In her cookery course at Masonic

Feet will specialize on American
cookery methods. Among these arc
the making of good pies and irving
Both Of these branches of cookery
have been condemned as unwholesome
but Miss Peet has given considerable
study TO frying methods and to pastry
making, and has evolved some fine re-
cipes by which both may be done in
such way as to bring no disaster to
those who eat the foods prepared in
this manner. How to make pastry
that is crisp and brittle and delicious
and at the same time wholesome and
not hard to digest, has been worked
out IN her cookery experiments and is
taught 10 women who attend her
classes This important subject of
making good pies will be taken m
twice or three times in her cookery
course here. She teaches low to fry
potatoes, and dOughnuts and other
foods so they will not absorb grease
which she says is the cause of indi-
sestiOn from eating fried foods. So i'm
portant does she consider this instruc-
tion and so interested does she find
housewives in the subject of whole
some frying that she takes it up at
almost every session.
There will be six of these interest
ing Better Foods Better Homes ses-
sions in Masonic temple next week in
which Miss Peet will talk about what
10 cook and how to cook it. and solve
the troublesome question of what to
have for dinner. There are five after
noon sessions at 2;30 and one on Tues
day evening at S o'clock TO which men
as well as the women of the city are
invited. At this evening session Miss
Peet will again serve baked ice cream.

WAR SIDELIGHTS

Picking. April 2.--(Correspondence
of The Associated Press )-Negotia
tions are being actively carried on for
compromise between the revolution
lists and the Picking government with
the result that alarm over general
uprising has been somewhat quieted.
Communication is very slow between
the southern provinces and Peking.
However, Yuan Shi-kai's close friends
have managed to get in touch with
the military governors in the rebell1ng
provinces, and there are evidences that
middle ground may be reached in a
very short time.
1t is already reported that kwangsi
province, since it has learned that
the monarchy has been definitely can
celled, has announced its abandonment
of the independence movement. This
action on the part of kwangsi is de-
MED by many of the leaders of the
revolution, who insist it is based on
falsified reports. Nevertheless, the
opinion is general in Picking that
kwangsi is negotiating for terms and
feels it has accomplished its main
purpose in forcing Yuan Shi-kai TO
abandon the monarchy
General Chen Vi, the military gov
ernor of Szechuen, addressed a mes
sage to Tsai 40. the leader of the
Yunnan revolt, urging that the revolu-
tionists should cease hostilities pend
ing a discussion of compromise be-
tween the north and south.
Tsai 40 replied that the chief OBJ
ject Of the revolution was to check
the abandonment of the republic. but
that after Yuan Shi-kai had violated
his oath to maintain the republic and
denounced the republican form of
government as wholly unsuitable to
him to rule the country satisfactorily

THANKS AMERICANS
FOR THEIR HELP IN
ARMENIAN RELIEF

London, Dec. 21.-George Il. Gracey,
a member of the American Committee
for Armenian and Syrian Relief, who
has helped to feed and clothe about
55, 900 Armenians in their native land
and again when they fled to the eau
casus to escape from the Turks, has
just returned to London. Most of
this was possible only through the
generosity of the American people,.
declared Mr.. Gracey, who Is not an
American but an Englishman and has
been a member of the American COM
mittee for the last Il years. Since the
war broke out he has been directing
the relief work for the Armenians
from Tiflis.
Armenia has replaced Belgium and
Serbia as the most distressful coun-
try on the face Of the globe" said
Mr.. Gracey. 1.-THE Armenians have
twice been driven from their native
land. Those who were not massacred
when the Turks invaded their country
early in the war fled to the Caucasus.
They returned when the Russians
drove the Turks out of Armenia. They
were forced to flee to the Caucasus
again a few months ago when the
Turks chased the Russians out of Mush
and Bitlis. and for time threatened
the cars army at Van, on the east
side of the lake of that name."
