TIEN TStN, June 4.
After less than six years existence,
complete collapse today menaced the re-
publican form Of government in China. A
military dictatorship has been established
and President Ii Yuan-Iiung is virtually a
prisoner In Pekn.
Two more provinces have seeded,
bringing the number up to eleven. The
army has been split up into factions under
the powerful military leaders. There has
been reorganization Of the cabinet, but all
authority Is apparently vested in Hsu Shih-
Chang, the dictator. In addition, the fol-
lowing Cabinet changes have taken place: ::
Wang Shih-Chen, the acting Premier was
made Premier; Tuan Chi-Hwei brother Of
Tuan Chi-Jui. former Premier, was named
Minister of War; Thas-Julin who Is be-
Heved to be str HGly pro-Japanese, was
given the portfolio ul Foreign Affairs, and
Tung Hauling former Minister of Com
n,unications, was chosen as Minister Of the
Interior
The American military forces stationed
In China are watching the situation closely,
for there is widespread fear that civil war
Is imminent
II is difficult TO get news out Of Pekin
for the city has been isolated and "A strong
censorship established on telegraphs
conference has been called in Canton
of the leaders who were responsible for the
overthrow Of the Manchu dynasty DR. sur
Vat Sen has already arrived there

PETROVA HOLIDAY
BILL AT KEENEY'S

A problem of vital Importance to
progressive men and women Is pre-
sented in more Truth Than Poetry"
the fve-act Metro wonderfully starring
Nine. Petrova, which will be seen at
Keeney's theater on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week. This is
whether a man has the moral right,
when he achieves fame and success,
to discard for a younger face the
wife who has worked shoulder to
shoulder with him, denying herself
luxuries, in order that he may attain
prominence. In many instances in
real life the man who has done this
has incurred the displeasure Of the
community, and has found success
slipping out of his grasp, in an unac-
countable manner.
In more Truth Than Poetry, Ash
ton Blair, an uncessful lawyer, is giy-
en- such valuable aid by his clever,
Vera, that he finally wins fame. He
is spoiled by his sudden good for
tune, and neglects her for another wo-
man, finally telling her frankly that he
is tired of her, and no longer needs
her. The way in which this crisis is
met in the Metro wonderplay fur
nishes a highly dramatic climax to an
absorbing screen drama. Several COM
edies, other features and the seventh
episode of the great Paramount serial,
'"Who is Number One?" featuring the
charming little actress( Kathleen Cliff
ford, will be shown to its many fol-
lowers. Three high class vaudeville
acts will conclude the program.
