SOMETHING WRONG.

If you've lost your zest for
Christmas,
Lost your love for all it's
cheer;
If you scott at gifts and giving
AS Christmas time draws near,
If you frown at all the clatter
When old Santa trims his tree,
Tell me, please, what is the
matter?
Something's wrong, it seems
to me!
If the stocking by the hearth
stone
Wakes no memory in your
breast,
If the coming Of old Santa
After all have gone to rest
Does not rouse your heart to
action,
Make it beat and throb and
kick,
Answer for my satisfaction,
Are you sure you are not sick :?
If you can't feel joy at Christ
mas,
Joy of life and joy of song;
Ify you can't rejoice in giving,
Whether it be right or wrong;
If the Yule logs invitation
To your heart no cheer can
give,
Let me ask how in creation
Is it worth your while to live?
-Lurana Sheldon in New
York Times.

OHIO HOLDS KEY TO SITUATION

Best Chance and Fair
G banks Second.

Chicago, June 1.-THE situation
seems to be Ohio. The old guard
will go to any limit to prevent bolt,
except to nominate Roosevelt If re-
fusal to nominate the colonel means a
third ticket, they have made up their
minds to go through another CAM
paign with divided party.
To please Roosevelt they would
nominate Hughes. But the progress
sives do not want Hughes any more
than the standpatters do. So Hughes
is eliminated.
The candidate will be man from
the Middle West and Fairbanks has
the second best chance. The best
bet is a dark horse. The leaders are
so tied up with favorite sons that il IS
difficult to unite on any one. OF the
candidates in the field Senator Hard
ing of Ohio is the most talked of dark
horse.
Roosevelt is believed to be opposed
to third ticket and will stake hiS
hopes on the regular nomination. The
radical progressives will nominate
Roosevelt, anyhow, ahead of the 9TH

President Of Chinese Republic
Succumbs to Short Illness
of Stomach Trouble.
SOLVES POLITICAL CRISIS
Ii Yuan Hung, Vice-Presi.
dent and Successor, Ac-
ceptable to Leaders.

Picking, June Yuan Shi-Kai,
president of the Chinese republic,
died Tuesday. Premier Tuan Chi-Jui
Immediately advised Ii Yuan Hung,
the vice president, of his succession
to the presidency.
Yuan Shi-Kai had been i'll for sew
eral days with stomach trouble, which
was followed by nervous breakdown.
Quiet prevails today at the capitol.
The death of the president apparently
solves the heated political crisis. Ii
Yuan lungs succession to the presi-
dency meets the demands of the lead
ers in the southern provinces.
Yuan Shi-Kai was reported to have
been seriously i'll on May %. At that
time dispatches from China said it
was believed in Picking that the pres
ident had been poisoned, but this re-
port was denied by the Chinese am
bassador at Washington, who insisted
the president was not even i'll.
Yuan Shi-Kai died while the storms
of the revolution were gathering in
increasing strength. The revolt broke
out in December, 1915, when the
president announced his intention OF
establishing a monarchy and ascend.
ing the throne as the first emperor o.
a new dynasty. His coronation wa:
set for early in February of this yea
but was postponed indefinitely owing
to the extraordinary rapidity will
which the revolt spread through
southern China. Several attempts
were made upon the presidents life
and a bomb plot was discovered il
the imperial palace.
MONARCHY is OPPOSED.
The establishing of a monarchy was
strenuously opposed by Japan and the
final abandonment of the plan was
largely credited to the representation:
made by Toxic.
The revolt progressed, however
and in March the governors Of the
Chinese provinces demanded the res
ighation Of the president. In May thu
provinces of San Shi and Shan Tuns
announced their independence and ;
provisional government was establish
ed by the general commanding tht
revolutionary forces in the south
President Yuan Shi-Kai announced OF
May 26 his intention to resign when ;
suitable successor was chosen.

War Minister with Staff Lost
When Steamer Sinks Off
0rkneys in North Sea.
ALL ENGLAND IS BADLY STUNNED
Was on Way to Russia ---De-
tails Of Disaster Are Not
Given Out.

London, June line NEWS THAT
Earl Kitchener, secretary Of state for
war, and his staff who were proceed
ing to Russia aboard the cruiser
Hampshire, were lost off the Orkney
islands Monday night was the most
stunning blow Great Britain has re-
ceived since the war began.
This is the second shock the coun-
try has sustained within a week.
The other was when the newspapers
appeared Friday evening with the
first intelligence of the naval battle in
the North sea in the form OF a list OF
ships lost with virtually no intimation
that there was any compensation in
the way of enemy losses. The bulle-
tin telling of the death of Kitchener
gave the country even greater shock.
Kitchener was the one outstanding
personality whom the people talked
of and believed in as a great man,
notwithstanding newspaper attacks
which at former period of the war
threatened to undermine his populari-
| ty and the public confidence in him.
GREAT CROWDS ASSEMBLE.
When the official announcement
was issued, the fact spread about
London, some time before the news
papers could get into the streets.
The windows of the war office had
| the curtains lowered. That confirmed
the rumor beyond doubt. Other
crowds gathered around the news
paper offices; when the boys came
out with an armful of extras the peo-
pie fell on them and fought for the
papers. In the course of the after
noon the flags on all buildings were
flown half mast.
MEMBERS OF STAFF.
Accompanying Earl Kitchener as
his staff, were Hugh James O'Beirne,
former councillor of the British en-
bassy at Petrograd and former minis
ter at Sofia; o. A. Fitzgerald, Earl
lKitchener's private military secretary;
Brig. Gen. Ellershaw and Sir Freder-
ick Donaldson.
The English undoubtedly are a sto-
ical people and have taken the good
land bad tidings of the war as they
came with an absence of emotion sur
prising to outsiders. But no one
could have walked the London streets
today without perceiving that some
thing which the common people tool
as a calamity had befallen them.
| FOREIGN OFFICE SADDENED.
The foreign Office was saddened by
the loss of one of its most valued
members, Hugh James O'Beirne
, while Sir Frederick Donaldson anC
Brig. Gen. Ellershaw OF the ministr.
= of munitions were known to be mel
{ whom the nation could little afford t.
= lose.
, The fact that the cruiser Hampshire
) with between 2C0 and 800 men hat
sunk was generally accepted as al
} unfortunate detail in these days whel
a thousand go under almost as al
incident of warfare.

SUCCESSOR NOT DECIDED.

The king came from Windsor and
sent for Premier Asquith when he
heard the news. The war council
held a long session. Naturally specu-
lation regarding Kitchener's success
sor began Immediately. Among
those discussed were David Lloyd
George, Lord Derby and the chief of
the imperial staff, Sir William Rob-
ertson. But whether a military man
or a civilian will take the war Office
has not yet been decided.
Earl Kitchener met death at a mo-
ment which will insure his position in
British history. He was almost the
only member OF the government who
from the beginning confidently as
serted that this would be long war
his lowest estimate was three years
and he insisted that the government
