issued.
Unofficial statements made by
men prominent in the affairs of sew
eral of the protesting clubs are to
the effect that President Lutz has not
executed his duties satisfactorily this
season. No averages were issued
during the year as during the regime
of previous presidents, other things
were neglected, and this condition
has been aggravated, too, since Lutz

Japan Is getting rich. And here is
the proof that will not take mo" from
anybody:
On May IA of this year the art col
lection which belonged to the family OF
Viscount Akimoto was auctioned of.
1t was one Of the fairly pretentious col
lections in the empire. The Akimoto
family had been the lords Of the old
Tatebayashi Clan, in Joshu. It brought
l,4s8 900 yen in ell, or little more
than s746,5OO. 1.-THE Eight Scenes" By
Keishoh, brought the highest price,
$4,000 gold. And the "Eikws Mono
gatari," by shigenobu, went for $4,000.
The Akaboshi collection also was suc-
toned not long ago. Two million dol
lars was realized for part Of It, accord
ing TO cable from TOXIC to the "Nichi
Bel" a japanese newspaper in San
Francisco.
At this auction DR.. Dan, Of the Nit
sui Company, was reported TO have paid
100000 for one painting by Ryokai.
An ancient tea case brought at the
same auction $4,000.
Mr.. Shoda, the Finance Minister Of
Japan, said the other day to some
friends:
81 understand that the value of Count
Inouye's collection has risen to S5,000,-
TIL L. ~ Ill
him S250000 originally; now ! suppose
il is valued at about 100000 or
$500 ,000"
Last year the Toxic "Jiji' carried on
an extensive and patient investigation
of the millionaires and near-million-
aires of Japan and published the result
on October 7, 1916. There were at that
time 2,202 persons in Japan who were
worth more than 500, 200 yen. or $780,
600. The Iwasaki family was reported
to have s1000O0,000 and the Mitsui
family the same amount. They topped
the list.
From which it will be seen that they
must travel some before they could
reach up even TO tho waistband Of the
New York brand of tax dodgers. II
is curious TO note also that almost one
half Of the number, 076 TO be exact
are business men, and i23 OF them
are farmers and cattlemen, and only
$50 belong TO the nobility.
The wealth is not with rank in
Japan. Since then Japan has produced
quito crop Of shipping Narikin-as
the sudden millionaires are fashion
ably called in Japan, and the above to.
tai might be increased several hundred
by now.
According TO the investigation Of the
Mitsui Bank the capital put into new
enterprises and for the extension of
established business since January of
this year to the end of May amounted
to 750,S7l 500 yen, or little more than
s375,435,750.
This is sls4,434 500 more than was
invested in the corresponding period
Of 1915, and, compared TO the figures OF
the same period in 1915, IL shows tho
increase Of s27s,757 800.
OF the sum, nearly $50 100000 went
into the banking business. and sl46,-

General Feng Kuo-chang is an inter-
rogat!on point Of Chinese politics. His
enemies and large number OF MS
friends do not seem too sure where he
stands. Just what he is going TO do in
the Presidency Of republican China is
the outstanding question in Far East
ern politics.
Els past is simple. he WAS born
some fifty-nine years ago in the metro
politan province Of Chilli, in the
prefecture Of Hochien. He went through
the Peo-ting military academy and
made his way up from the ranks Of
petty officers to the presidency Of the
Peers Military Academy in 1905. His
onward march has been singularly free
from backslidings, which is near
miracle in that dollhouse Of all manner
and variety Of petty jealousies and in
trigues called the officialdom of China.
The following year saw him at the
head Of the Imperial Guards.
Yuan Shih-kai in his glory days stood
upon the shoulders of four stalwart
pillars. They were called his Big Four.
General Fens Kuo-chang was one Of
them. Tuan Chi-jui, the present Pre-
mier; Tuan Chih-kuei and Chao Ping
chun were the others.
Sent to Suppress Revolt
When the first revolution broke out
at Hankau, in 1911, he was sent down
to suppress It at the head of the i'm
perial troops; he was the commander
in chief Of the First Army. Opposing
him was the republican army under Ii
Yuan-hung and Huan Hsing. 1t was at
this time that his men burned the Chi
nese quarters Of the city of Hankau.
1t was serious offence, an exceedingly
heinous crime, In the eyes Of the Chi
nese business men and property own
ers, who, as the Occidental world does
not know, have a way Of their own to
deal with the commanding officers Of
Lub bEIultS Oullu Va "ai'
This action on the part of his soldiers
made him the target Of popular indig-
nation and criticism.
The misfortune was blessing in
disguise, however, as far as General
Feng was concerned. He learned then,
and through 1t, the lesson Of his life.
From that time his career has been
one steady effort to wipe the unhappy
incident from the memory Of his coun-
trymen. This incident seemed to wake
him up suddenly to the keenest real
ization Of the power OF public opinion
and Of the mass.
New Army Victorious
In the military sense General Feng
did not achieve anything memorable at
Hankau. His opponents were utterly
cutclassed The Southern republican
army was no match for the newly
trained and equipped army Of the
North. As the result of the battle OF
Kiangan Station his army took Han
yang. His men planted artillery on
top of the Tapei Hill, which completely
dominated Wuchang across the Yangtse
River. 1t was sheer folly to attempt
10 hold Wuchang against the battery
of the imperial artillery on the Tapei
Hill.
Huan Hsing saw It easily enough
and made his escape TO Nankin. The
officers under Ii Yuan-hung urged

pointinc him as the chief Of General
STAFF. But Feng had plenty OF excuses
10 decline the honor and stay IN the
c;tv of Nankin. He did not stay pas,
siye. either. II was at this critical
time that he brought about what Is
now known as the Nankin CONFERENCE
He invited to Nankin his fellow mill
tary commanders in the Yangtse val
ley-Chang Hsun and NH Shlh-enshg
and others. The result was the 1or-
nation OF the Central China League
with himself as the head OF IT,.
When Yuan Shih-kai went MS way
and Ii Yuan-hung succeeded him IN the
Presidency Of China General Feng was
elected Vice-President. This IN spite
of the keenest and fercest competition
on the part Of such leaders as lush
Chi-jui, the present Premier, and otn-
ers Of equal prominence. HIS election
told a rather singular tale. IL was
brought about largely through the
efforts of the Southern republicans
who at the time and ever since COM
manded the majority in the Parliament;
His attitude toward the monarchlcai
aspirations of Yuan Shih-kai and Mo
election to the VicePresidency through
the Southern republican efforts are tne
two things which make him tantailI-
ing "X" in the political equation. 10
be sure, at the time of his election 70
the Vice-Presidency the. attitude OF
General Feng was markedly pro-Soutn-
ern, pro-republican.
South Lacked Strong Candidate
II was true also that the Southern
republicans did not have a powerful
enough candidate at that time who had
the slightest chance of election. All
that does not quite explain away the
position of General Feng. His pro-
republican tendencies were emphasized
afresh in his attitude toward Chang
Hsun and the recent futile restoration
of the Manchu dynasty.
A number of the students of the Chi
nese politics insist to this day that
General Feng Kuo-chang is OF the North
ernS miitarist party-apparently Tor no
other reason than that he was ono OF
them once-and he has a number OF
friends among the party. OF the North
ern party of military chieftains one
should always keep in mind the fact
that there is clean line OF demarca'
ton between the Chilli party and the
Anhui party. General Feng belongs to
the Anhui party. to which belong also
Tuan Chi-jui and Tuan Chih-kuei.
As man and a leader General Feng
presents a marked contrast to Ii Yuan
hung. Ii is and has always been a
simple and rugged patriot, slow Of
mind and blunt in thought and action.
He was something of a battle-ax type,
while Feng is rapier. Under his
Presidency China is destined to see
some eventful days.
