LETTERS ASSERT
CHINA MONARCHY
CANNOT SUCCEED

Letters received from China by 10
cal members Of the National party
say that any campaigns against re-
publicanism In that country would be
beaten. The cable reports show that
the sentiment Is strongly In favor Of
q republican government.
What II the matter with China?T
has been question that ID often
asked when the situation In the Far
East has been discussed. According
to Q local Chinese thu military gov.
errors IN the various provinces have
been WELDING the whip hand These
governors have power SURPRISING that
OF the president.
Unlike the United States, when one
governor ID transferred to another
post he does not leave alone, but takes
his troops with him. In this way he
builds up o power which is greater
than any other IN China. This power
was responsible for the hold Of Gen.
Chang Hsun IN the recent crisis.
Governors IN the various provinces
control the. local situation. When the
word IL sent out that something must
be done, the governors are usually on
the Job. Soldiers take control OF rail-
roads, hotels and public places when
any outbreak occurs. With this situa-
ton remedied, the local Chinese be.
lieve, China WIN progress.

ECONOMY CUTS

NEW YORK, NJ Y.-On the crest
OF the wartime saving spirit comes
the 1917 model bathing suit and the
economy practised IN buying material
makes Il almost invisible to the naked
eye. Il would seem that manufac-
turers, and the women themselves,
are not wasting any material these
patriotic times on special sets OF
scenery when cloth Is needed for sol
diers' uniforms. The skirts have re-
tired to the Hfndenburg line and the
stockings no longer slip down IN q
shapeless bunch around the calves,
because they do not reach up to the
calves. For the most part they either
are socks which give Just touch Of
neatness to the ankles or there II
no hosiery ct al. just bathing shoes,
the fancy. high-laced kind intended
for beach strolling.
To balance the cutting off Of the
skirts, which In some cases were
given up entirely IN the interest Of
economy, the seasons bathing suits
have an equal abstinence OF cloth or
material ct the top or upper end, FREE
QuentIy hardly more than pair Of
shoulder straps, showing that the
dear girls are willing TO utilize that
which has been discarded IN the mod
ern army officers uniform. In few
cases, the designers Of the suits were
not well informed on military STRAIT
egg, which warns against having lines
extended too far.
Observing the first effect Of the war
on bathing suits, the economizing on
material to degree which seems al
most too patriotic, one wonders II
the next step WIN be to adopt the style
Of bathing suits which one used to
see on photographs Of Ostend just as
q tribute TO Belgium. Those suits.
about the size Of bandana hand
kerchief, Of zebra stripes around the
equator. Anyway. these deleted bath
ing suits are good for the defense Of
the coast, besides they always insure
the presence Of plenty Of lookouts.
