HONOLULU. oct. 21.-That Great
Britain and France. supported by
Italy and Belgium even now on the
eve Of the conference for the Hmita-
ton Of armaments are conspiring
for the dismemberment Of China, was
the charge made here today by Gen.
T. C. Chen. the principal military at
tache Of the Chinese delegation to the
Washington conference.
Gen. Chen, who is a graduate Of
West Point Of the class Of 1909, fol-
lowed this sensational accusation with
the announcement that China, look
ing upon the United States as its
only sincere friend among the great
powers, would seek a defensive al
lance with America. linking the
richest and most powerful nation in
the world with the richest and greatest
potential force in Asia.
France CovetouS, He Says.
1t Is Gen. Chen's belief, and this Is
concurred in by the other members
Of the Chinese delegation. that Great
Britain covets the immensely rich and
undeveloped territory adjoining Thibet
and that France wants domination
Of the provinces OF Yunnan and
Kuang-Hsi. because their possession or
control would. with Indo-China, give
France a great Asiadc empire.
Gen. Chen says Italy and Belgium
are not directly interested, but they
will support the position OF Great
Britain. and France at the Washing
ton conference because Of their de,
sire to maintain friendly relations
with the dominant powers Of the
entente eordiale.

European powers a greater menace &c

Abiding to President Wilson's

the French to withdraw their troops

ARE ALL OF ROYAL BLOOD
Going Back Thousand Years, Ances-
tors OF at Least Three Races
Were Monarchs.

Even allowing for numerous inter
marriages of relatives 1t is highly
probable that all people of English or
French or German stock are descended
from common ancestors Of a thousand
years ago.
A book has been published recently
in which several of our Presidents
heads of universities and captains Of
industry and finance are shown to be
descended from Charlemagne. This
distinction is one which they share
with probably more than half the clti-
zens Of this republic. Einhart, the
contemporary biographer of Charlie
magne says that he had nine wives
besides many concubines, and although
he was fond Of his children he never
knew how many he had. II it were
possible TO trace our genealogies far
enough into the past and through all
the qualifications il would be found
that all of US are literally descendants
of Alfred and Charlemagne and Will
liam the Conqueror and Of any and
every other person Of one thousand
years or more ago who left many
Notwithstanding nonentities and
worse we hunt up our noble ancestors
and forget others-From "The Direc-
ton of Human Evolutions," by Edwin

SOUGHT TO ENHANCE CHARMS
Roman Beauties Well Knew the Value
of Time Spent at the Toilette
Table.

The toilette of the Roman beauty
was a vastly important affair. The
maids who assisted in ii were usually
Greek slaves, and the length of time
devoted to il may be judged from the
fact that, like beauties of France so
many centuries later, the Roman
woman often had the poets and the
philosophers of the day to divert her
during its progress, favor of which
they seem to have been less apprecia-
tive than their descendants in France.
The equipment for the toilette was
both elaborate and complete. Combs,
mirrors of FURNISHED bronze, bottles
for perfumes and boxes for rouge and
whitening preparations are all to be
found In collections of Roman toilette
articles, and many are the harsh
words on the subject OF the feminine
toilette TO be found in the writings Of

disapproved of charm in their women,

PARROT MADE MUCH TROUBLE
Unapprecated by the Women of
the Neiohborhood.

For several weeks past young wom-
en- passing along Hanson place have
been much annoyed by loud whistling
apparently coming from someone who
wished to attract their attention. The
whistlng has had a most peculiar eff
feet, depending on the temperament
OF the women. Some have quickened
their pace and tried TO get away; 9th
ers have turned and surveyed the man
who happened 10 be behind with
flushed faces and angry glances. One
or two have even complained to the
police while few have Jagged TO find
out what It was all about.
Recently a highly indignant woman
complained 10 policeman.
"That man behind me has been
whistling to attract my attention for
five minutes" she said 81 wish you
would stop it,"
Much to her amazement the police
man laughed unrestrainedly. He
pointed with his hand to a window
opposite the Hanson Place Baptist
church and there sat the culprit, wink
ing and whistling away. 1t was a
gray parrot with long red tail He
had learned TO whistle like mischiev-
Gus country boy, but he reserved his
tricks for the women passing. For
some time the firtatous parrot has
upset the equanimity of the entire
neighborhood.- Brooklyn Eagle.
