hal and south China points, Hankow
is even a more important strategical
point because it is the seat Of the only
great modern steel works in China and
has the largest arsenal. Hankow is
500 miles from the mouth of the
Yangtse, which is navigable to that
point for ocean going vessels with a
draft of so feet. Many ships sail di
rect from Hankow every week for
Liverpool and other points in Europe.
1t is the center for tremendous inland
river traffic
Hankow has but one line of railway
connecting with Picking, consequently
the control of the YangtSe river by
enemies of the government would
practically isolate Hankow and make
it impossible for Picking officials to
avail themselves of supplies on Yang
tse valley, the richest section of China.
At present the government has 20, 600
picked troops at Marking and cabinet
members are confident there is no
chance for enemies of the administra
ton to produce disaffection there.

loyal Troops.

Peking Jan. 6.-PreSident Yuan Shi
kai is moving all military stores as
rapidly as possible away from centers
subject to attack by the revolution
aries Even before the recent attempt
to capture the Kiangnan arsenal at
Shanghai much of the machinery
from that arsenal had been moved to
the Hanyang arsenal at Hankow.
Military stores at Shanghai had also
been sent to Tehchow which is located
in the interior on the railway con-
Meeting Shanghai and Picking and
about midway between the two points.
Practically all the troops now To-
Gated along the Yangtaza valley and
in south China are northern men. For
months there has been constant
movement of soldiers, arms and am
munition directed with view to re-
placing any troops in important strate-
gicaI centers whose loyalty to the
president was not beyond doubt
When the trouble broke out in
Shanghai it was feared that similar
outbursts might occur at Marking or
at Wuchapg. These two points on the
Yangtse river were revolutionary
strongholds in former days and are
located in such a manner as to con-
troll a great territory. Marking is 200
miles from Shanghai and at the mouth
OF the Yangtse river. Consequently an
armp there can absolutely control
China. Furthermore, Marking is To-
Gated on the only line of railway con-
Meeting Shanghai with north China.
By taking Marking the revolution

munications between Peking and south

EVERYBODY IS GIVING
Grace Cathedral Parish Committee
Has Not Met a Refusal

Going right along is the campaign
to raise $4,000 with which to COM
plete Grace Cathedral. At the close
of the second days work OF the parish
committee. which is soliciting among
the membership of the parish exclu-
sively, the subscriptions amounted to
$4,000. The citizens committee, of
which E. H. Crosby is chairman, is
also meeting with good success. but it
has not made a report yet.
Every one that has been approached
has given generously, and the convic-
ton seems prevalent with all Tope-
kans that Grace Cathedral must be
finished in 1916. The parish commit
tee, of which Walter E. Smith is chair
man, has not met a single refusal so
far. The members of the parish are
giving handsomely. The committees
feel confident that the sum needed will
be raised and Dean Kaye and Bishop
Millspaugh are both gratified at the
manner in which the people are re-
spending. AT the regular daily con-
ference of the soliciting committees at
the Commercial club today Dean Kaye
expressed particular pleasure at the
generous response of the parishioners
and said he felt that there was no
doubt of the success of the campaign.

ALL HAPPY AGAIN
French Official Says No Public
DiscOrd Exists.
Free Discussion Is Essence of
Parliament Rules.
NONE OPPOSES CALL TO ARMS
Ministers Speeches Posted on
Walls Turnout Nation.
Unanimous About Rushing
Youths Into War MaelStrOm.

Paris, Jan. 6.-"Parliament and the
country are of one accord" said
Paul Deschanel. president of the
French chamber of deputies. in an
interview with a representative of the
Associated Press.
Speaking of the work of parliament
during the last year, NJ. Deschanel
said:
THE chamber has maintained a
union of all Frenchmen. Some very
lively debates have occurred and the
enemy's newspapers affect to see in
them signs of discord; but the ma
neuver is coarse one and the opin-
ion of the neutral countries should
not be deceived by it. Free discussion
is the essence of parliamentary
regime. 1t does not always imply dis
cord.
Notice, for instance, what took
place concerning a particular delicate
question, the call to arms of the 1917
contingent. No one opposed the prin-
ciple of the measure. representatives
Of France being ready for all sacri-
fices necessary to obtain victory. But
if they do not begrudge the country S
resources, they want the best use made
of them for national defense.
Agree on All Questions.
THE minister of war was interro-
gated in the chamber upon measures
taken to assure complete utilization of
those resources. He indicated the
precautions that should and would
surround the incorporation of our
younger men in the army and his
declarations were unanimously ap-
proved.
THE same unanimity was shown on
all important questions. When the
ministers revealed the concordant
views of the allies on the conduct of
the war, when they appealed for the
savings of the country at the time of
the loan, when they asked for the in
corporation of new contingents of sol
diers, they obtained the entire support
of both chambers. The chambers,
moreover. voted that the ministers
speeches be posted on wall throughout
France for the people to read.
That is why the session just closed
leaves the comforting impression that
it has affirmed once more our COM
plete national unity in the face of the
enemy"
Even during the holiday recess of
parliament NJ Deschanel was one of
the busiest statesmen in France. His
time was filled by official visits, by
calls on colleagues of the French
academy and the countless demands
made by members of parliament.
