NEW CHINESE PREMIER.
LANG Shih-Yi Has Been Selected to
Head Newly Appointed Cabinet.

Picking, Dec. q, (By Associated
Press) .--Liang, Shih-Yi has been
named premier of the Chinese cabinet
to succeed Chin Yun-Peng, who with

eminent in which all the reactionary
parties are participating. 1t is

shi-kal to create himself emperor in
1915 and under his auspices many of
the officials of the government over
thrown last summer are now produc-
ing documents of state.

Miss Weir said. It's what l col
lected Wednesday for the sanatorium

Isn't that fine?''
Miss Weir's countenance was as
beaming over thes amount she had
collected for the benefit of the sana-
torium as she would be over a beauti-
full gift for herself. She has con-
WINGED many persons of the need for
the porches at the sanatoriunh by call
ing their attention to her mite box on
her elevator car.
IF know they are able to give
and just don't feel inclined 1 some
times keep them closed up in the car

at the Topeka tuberculosis sanatorium.
The amount needed for the purpose is

ASKS FOR $3.50 DAMAGES.
Driver for Payne Taxicab & Motor Ok
Sues Paul ]. Lannan.

Bert R. Bratton, a driver for the
Payne Taxicab & Motor company, to-
day brought suit in the Shawnee coun-
ty district court asking for damages
from Paul ]. Lannan as result of an
accident which the petition states oc-
CURED October 8, 1920.
Bratton states that he was driving
south on Kansas avenue, between
Fairchild and Gordon streets, on that
date when Lannan, whom he charges
with driving at a high rate of speeds
drove his machine against the rear
end of the taxicab. Bratton says the
impact threw him to the floor of the
taxi, wrenching his shoulder and caus-
ing him to suffer various other in
juries. He alleges that the accident
was due wholly to Lannan, who, he
states, gave no alarm of his approach
and failed to clear the taxicab by
turning to the left, a rule which he
claims is provided for by city ordi-
nance.
The plaintiff asks for a total of $3.50
of which $500 is actual damages and
the remainder for loss of time and
doctor fees.

This situation, Mr.. Dulles says does not mean
that Germany is not morally obligated to pay, or
that her attitude at the London conference JUS

pay according to the plans Of the Paris agreement
What it does is that the allies cannot, afford
to enforce this agreement except through the me-

which we can afford to play.
These aspects Of the reparaton problem show
not only that the United States and other nations
which do not participate in the discussions, do
share in the effects Of any agreement that is made.
There appears to be scheme that can be devised
whereby reparation may be collected to the amount
