A Brief ReiRn

a FTER a reign of only about a week,
"A Hsuan Tung has been forced g second
time to abdicate the Chinese throne, which
General Chang Hsun attempted to re-
establish. 1t appears to be a parallel case
to Finnegan's ION agin. off agin. gone
agin." The taste of republican government
that the Chinese have had. after a fashion,
apparently confirms them in a determination
not to abandon it, and with this latest at
tempt to restore the monarchy defeated. it
Is a reasonable hope that they may yet be
able to establish the republic upon an en-
during foundation, provided they receive the
assistance and friendly counsel OF outside
democratic governments in working from
under the existing confusion.

Peking-Outcome Is Expected to

WASHINGTON. July s.-Final over
throw of the abortive movement in
China for restoration Of tho Manchu
dynasty is believed hero to be only n
matter of n few days. Both official
and unofficial dispatches have led to
tho conviction hat the fighting Is
practically over. and that a solution
soon VIII be found by compromise. since
both sides are faced by IN extremity
neither cares to meet-the monarchIsts
by fear Of the death penalty. and the
republicans by fear OF the destruction
Of Picking.
Latest advIces received here report
tbs" republicans blocking all four lines
OF railroad out Of PekinG. and Chang
Hsun. the monarchist commander, still
holding the ancient capital as a pawn
for his personal safety. In this sit
uation, It Is thought both sides are
about ready to end the trouble.
II the revolution is ended by n COM
promise, officials arc inclined to feel
that It will have had a very beneficial
effect on China, routing the last rem
nants Of M%anchuisnl. and establishing
the republic more 1rmly than ever be-
fore. Many previously discordant Gle
mcnts in China have been brought to-
gether against the monarchist danger,
and a period of unity is expected to
follow.

MY DREAM.
Come Morpheus, guardian OF my peace,
Conc! Give my Houl it's sweet rclense
From strife and turmoil, bear me far
To where my great desires nre!
A rippling lake. a reedcd shore
Wherein the bass delight to play:
A fragrant wood. and from It's store
A hut to hide myself away.
A morning rich from Natures wine
or breezes. whispering thro' the pine;
An evening long, and cool. and still.
With benedictions on the hill.
An early start-for who would sleep
When all Of nature is awaken
A cast-a strike-a fash and leap
A skillful play to hold the break!
And when the mornings quest Is done,
The long siesta fairly won,
A strickland in some shady nook
A drowsy journey thro' a book.
Far from the grumbling heart Of trade
Is Natures ,Respite: in the wood I,
Where myriad tongues in serenade
Call man to know that life is good!
And in the perfume-laden bowers
or pines and cedars. vines and nowern
There Love shall build it's affairs fire.
There Man shall find his Great DESIRE.
O Morpheus. friend and guardian thou,
Come, strike thy note that wakes me nov
To one more day of strife md pain
Then let me dream my dream again!

Wholehcalted Patriotism

WoMEN OF America furnish an inspiring
w example Of patriotism in their willing
ness to serve their country in any capacity
for which they may be fitted. According to
Miss Jane A. Delano, chairman Of the bureau
of nursing service of the National Red Cross.
1900 nurses have already registered for ser
vice abroad. and the enlistment continues at
the rate of from fifty to sixty graduate nurses
a day.
This represents only one class of service
for which the women are volunteering. Not
only are the various activities Of the Red
cross kept going at maximum speed. but
women's organizations of every kind are de-
yising ways and means for making their eff
forts count in the great Work of mobilizine
every resource of the nation.
Their ingenuity in devisinr practical
methods Of helpfulness Is equaled only by
their zeal in carrying to success every move
ment they undertake. They realize fully that
the nation is at war--a war whose duration
no one can with certainty predict-and whole
heartedly they Will do all that women may
do to sustain the soldiers who go to the front.

Curiously enough. the fat woman who shifted

Please remember this is perman-

stand that the plan is to invest the
fund, the interest alone to be used.
Reference to the treasurer's report will
show that this has been done to date.
Let each club make its own plans for a
donation, and remember, each member
doing her part we will soon raise the
$500 which will put our Federation
on solid foundation. Let our slogan
be: 1.-The Endowment Raised in this
Administration.
Our Historian, Mrs. Harvie Jordan,
is now deep in the work of the History
OF the Georgia Federation of Women's
Clubs which she hopes to c omplete by
the next annual convention. This his
tory will be survey of the splendid
work that our Federation has done.
The idea for having the history was
not only that the present generation
may know what we are doing, but
that in years to come, we as club wo-
men will have left something upon
which to base the statement that we, as
women, have done our part in the up
building of Georgia, and that the state
is better for having had the Georgia
State Federation working within its
boundaries, and that the proceeds from
its sales may help to raise the En-
dowment
Any inquiries regarding the Endow-
ment will be gladly answered. Re-
member this fund is your property, for
the benefit of your community and
your state. Shall we not together
work zealously to complete it?
All contributions should be sent to
the Chairmen, Mrs. T. l. Fitzpatrick,
Townsville, or Mrs. P. J. McGovern,
Atlanta.
l trust each club president will have
this appeal for the Endowment read to
her club. Faithfully yours.
