If il comes to a matter Of actual
war there will be no hanging back
on the part of the American, people,
either native or foreign born. But
the man who labors in the factory
and the field to produce the sinews
of war is just as important a cog
in the national war machine as the
one who goes out to meet the enemy
on the field Of battle. Let US each
one strive to do OUR full duty,

Failing Weight Damaged Church

Carson .City.-One of the iron
weights which operates the striking
mechanism of the town clock in st.
Mary's church steeple fell last Sat-
urday evening crashing through the
ceiling and floor of the vestibule into
the basement. The cable which sus-
tanned this heavy piece of iron
weighing between 800 and and 400
pounds, had become worn and parted,
letting it fall. All are glad that it
was not one Of the weights which
operate the time Of the clock as
these are directly over the pipe or
gan, and if one of these had loosen
ed, it would have resulted in serious
damage. As precaution the weights
are now secured by cables fastened
to rings so that it is hoped to prevent
it occurring again. Also heavy ma
pie timbers have been placed above
the pipe organ as an additional pro-
lection.

seriously injured Thursday, when her
foot was caught in the moving ma

During the years that Ii Yuan-hung
served as vice-president under Yuan
Shih-k -kai his position was much the
same that it is at present. 1t is true
he then held the title of vice-president,
but it was a shallow honor. He had
no power. He had no freedom. Most
of those years were passed in an iso-
lated palace on an island in the For
hidden City. He was seldom per-
mitted to leave the walled compound.
No visitors saw him without the per-

Shih-kai, who lived on the mainland
in a palace Lii Yuan-hung could see
across the lotus-covered lake.

day apparently grows stronger every

FORMER PRESIDENT
OF CHINA A CAPTIVE
Ii Yuan-Hung Has Less
Power Now Than Low
liest Coolie There.
FLED TO HOSPITAL
Central Governments Power
Today Apparently Grows
Stronger.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
PEKING-Li Yuan-hung, once Presi-
dent of the Chinese Republic, possess
es today less power here than the
lOwliest coolie. He is prisoner In
the capital of the land over which he
once ruled, and for the first time in
many years he holds no office; and
except for that of Prince WI vi, he
holds no title.
1t is Lii Yuan-hungs desire to leave
Pekin and seek rest in Tientsin, but
the Government has repeatedly denied
this request. Promier Tuan Chi-jui
and Acting President Feng Kwo-chang
apparently have no intention OF al
lowing the veteran warrior to depart
for any settlement where he would be
in a position to communicate with the
revolutionists in the south. The Gov
ernment is said to realize how potent
the name of Ii Yuan-hung would be
were he to be made President of
southern Republic such as Sun Yat-
sen, Tang Shao-yi. c. T. Wang and
other Kuomintang leaders are endeav-
oring to establish in Canton.
Since he surrendered the presidency
a month ago and allowed General
Chang Hsun to take over the central
government, Ii Yuan-hung has divided
his time between the French Hospital
and his home in the Tartar City, with
out the walls of the Forbidden City.
He also took refuge for short tine in
Japanese Legation and he handsome
ly rewarded the Japanese soldiers and
officers who protected him in the try
ing period when the Republicans were
ousting the boy emperor, Hsuan Tung,
and overthrowing the short-lived
monarchy set up by Chang Hsun.
Lii Yuan-hung's illness was not
serious enough to make his retire
ment to the hospital necessary. But
the French Hospital is in the Le-
CATION Quarter. 1t is under the pro-
lection of the foreign guards. And
Lii Yuan hung was not the only Chin
ese who was ailing at the time con-
ditions were to unsettled outside of
the foreign settlement. Hotels, hospi-
tails, legations and private houses
