Chang Hsuan Active,

General Chang Hsuan, who is mill
tary governor OF Anhwei province,
has taken a prominent part in the re-
cent internal troubles in China and a
dispatch from Peking, June IS, said
that he had assumed the power of
dictator. AT that time it was reported
that Ii Yuan Hsung was virtually
prisoner and that friends of the presi-
dent were not permitted to enter the
palace. General Chang Hsuan is re-
ported to be the strongest Of the mill
tary governors in China, and there
has been various reports in the last
year or two that he would make an
attempt to reinstate the Manchu dy-
nasty.
A dispatch from Peking, June Is,
reported that all the provinces which
declared their independence of the
government of Ii Yuan Hung in May
and June had ceased their war-like
preparations. At that time it was re-
ported that General Chang Hsuan had
expressed the hope that a settlement
of the crisis in China would be
reached.
Ii Yuan Hung Has Trouble.
General Ii Yuan Hung became
president of China, June E, 1916, after
the death of General Yuan Shi-Ka
soon after Yuan mad attempted to
change the form of government in
China to a monarchy. Since his aces
sion to the leadership in China, he
( has had much trouble with the north
ern military leaders, including General
Chang Hsuan. The present difficulties
of President Ii arose over his refusal
to uphold the decision of the cabinet
to break with Germany and it had
been reported that he was opposed
to the entry of China into the war.
On June 10, after the revolt of sew
eral of the northern and central
provinces, General Chang Hsuan de-
manded that President Ii issue an ul-
timatum dissolving parliament The
president refused to accede to the de-
mand and also declined to offer his
unconditional resignation. A day or
TWO ldler, however, he ylelueQ 10 the
demand of the rebel leaders for the
dissolution Of parliament, but the act
ing premier refused to countersign the
decree and resigned.
After this the Kuo Min-Tang, one
of the strong political parties in
China, which had supported President
Ii, withdrew its approval of his
course.
After several days delay President
Ii succeeded in appointing an acting
premier and the latter countersigned
the mandate dissolving parliament. 1t
had been reported that the southern
provinces, in which DR.. Sun Vat Sen
and his followers have much power,
would revolt as result of the dis

missal OF parliament by President Ii.
An official dispatch to the Chinese
embassy at Washington. Peking
June 20, said that President Ii had
issued a decree calling for an imme-
date election for members OF parlia-
ment
Hsuan lung, son of Prince Chun,
asended the throne of China Decem-
Der ,, 1908, under the regency of his
father. On December 6, 1911, Prince
Chun abdicated as regent and
February II, 1912, the youthful en-
peror abdicated the throne and the
Chinese republic was established.
Since that time the emperor had viz
tually been a prisoner of president
Yuan and Ii.
In February of this year, it was
reported that Hsuan Tung would be
brought to the United States to COM
plete his education, and it was said
that President Ii had approved the
plan for the Manchu emperor to
come to the United States.

Quebec House in England
Preserved as Landmark

Westerham, England, June TO-
Quebec House, the home of General
Wolfe, hero Of Quebec, which, be-
fore the war, was one of the show
places about London for American
and Canadian tourists, has passed
from control of the Canadian govern
ment to the National Trust, a semi
official body which aims to preserve
historic landmarks.
The home was purchased in 1918
by the late J. B. Learmont of Mon
treal, who wanted to maintain it as
a public monument He died before
his plans could be completed, but his
heirs conveyed it to the Canadian gov
ernment. Owing to the difficulty OF
administering a trust SO distant, that
government preferred that the prop
erty should be vested in an English
body.
The house contains a collection OF
specimens of the native work of Ca
madam Indians and of pictures and
prints illustrating the progress of the
Dominion. Wolfe was not born in the
house, but at house close by which
still exists. He spent most of his
childhood days at Quebec House.

vantage 70 the Entente Allies, as well

through the neglect OF agriculture by
so many other countries the prosperity
of the nitrate industry before the war
was dependent to the extent of more
than two-thirds Of the product on the
demand for this fertilizer from Ger

Germany But, as the navies Of the
Entente Allies commanded the sea, 1t
was impossible TO ship the product 10
the destined ports. Consequently the
nitrate mas been held over TO the credit
Of Germany since the beginning OF the
war. Owing to the extraordinary de-
mend for nitrate for the munltlon fac
tories and iodine for the hospitals, the
demand has been upon such a scale
that it has been exceedingly difficult
for the various companies concerned 10
cope with it,.

received no payment. But the credits
lodged with the German banks IN pay
ment for the product have been trans
ferred TO an American bank in New
York. Consequently the money, as well
as the goods, is available for Allied
purposes. Owing 10 the great demand,
the price has risen to over 10 shillings
