What Cash Does IN China.

Money IS power and especially 50
i'll China, in the opinion of the Yo-
rodzu. Almost everything in China
is settled by money, and one with mon
ely succeeds and one without fails Who
ever succeeds in China, does so through
money. Those who succeed obtain mon
ey and are able to hold their position.
The Yorodzu says that iua before
and after the seizure of Peking by
General Tuan Chi Jul, a large amount
OF money entered China from Japan
That money was probably used to re-
seat the boy emperor. The editor con
tinues: 1.-The finances of China are
puzzle to everybody, and although sew
eral hundred million taels are short
every year. no attempt is made to COW
er the shortage, and the government
al we'll as the public, never worries
about the matter Since the death of
uan Shi-kai, the financial condition
of China has been in such a chaos that
even the government does not know
how the finances of the country stand
Many loans obtained were not used for
the purpose of re establishing the gov
ernment and country, but for individ
ual benefit From one standpoint, the
coming Of money into China by various
loans was the cause of internal dis
turbanccs there and refusal of further
loans from foreign countries might
bring about peace. Gen. Tuan Chi-iui
declared war against Germany and Aus
I tria, and by entering the conflict made
the financial condition of China much
better than before; but if he uses the
surplus money for defeating the south
ern and other opposition parties, in or
| der to protect his own personal inter
ests, the abundance of funds in China
viii again cause a great political lis
/ turbancc. If loans are made to China.
while the financial foundation of the
country is not sound, it will only serve
to make the conditions worse The
| 4orodzu hopes that while China is in
a favorable condition financially, as at
present, the question of placing her I'M
der the financial supervision of the en-
tente powers will be seriously consid-
cred, for if some such plan is not adopt
ed China cannot be saved from financial
ruin.

FIERCE FIGHTING
American Arriving at Atlantic Port

Great Enthusiasm.

AN ATLANTIC PORT, April %
An American officer who was at the
battle of Picardy arrived last night
on an American steamship. He gave
his impressions of the fighting at the
point where he was stationed making
observations He said that the Ger
mans had actually broken through the
forces of Gen. Herbert de la Poer Cough,
commander of the Fifth British army,
and were unaware of their success be-
cause of the heavy fog enshrouding
the battlefield.
The gap was about two miles wide
and a BODY of British cavalrymen also
unaware that their line had been
broken, charged forward directly upon
the Germans, who were in great force.
The American officer, who was with
the Fifth army said that the cavalry
men came galloping back with I'M
mounted soldiers who were in panic.
He asked some of them why they were
running and they said the Germans
were coming in great numbers. Then
he suggested:
Why not stop and relieve yourself
of some of the weight of bullets. You
can run easier them

do here in America. But that is the
way with life, history; and human

When Paris found that the Ameri-
can Indian coloring was something to
be copied in the most modern of cos
TUNES, we began to look at our primi
tive workmanship, from Behring sea
to the end of South America. Those
who have explored more thoroly tell
us that the designers have uncovered
a world of brilliant inspiration; that
if we in America were the designers
to the world, we could find in these
Indians who governed this continent
enough beauty, ancient and moredn,
to provide us with the most striking
ornamentation; that if we used this
wealth of material right at our hands
we would not have to go to Babylonian
history, to the bazaars of Delhi or to
the palaces of Bagdad. A Paris de-
signer has said that one Alaska totem
pole should give a dressmaker enough

Colored frocks for youngsters were

necessity after the war began, and
their infiltratfon into American fash

colored clothes than we have seen in
