 Priestly entertain the China Club |of Seattle with accounts of this most modern war
 t-~. When the Chinese don't know where to shoot at their earthly enemies," said Priestly, they fire bullets into the air, because they think the devil is up there and il lthey kill the demon they believe they will get the cause of the war Priestly interviewed Dr. Sun Yat iSen while in China He declared lSun Yat Sen to be the greatest poll tician China ever produced, but doubts if he will ever be president of the entire republic, because he is true to his principles and will no cater to foreign powers.

PRESIDENT FELICITATES
ACTOR JAMES K. hACKETT
Appearance by Invitation at odeon
: Theater, Paris, Classed as Recog-
milton Of Histronic Ability.

Secretary Hughes has telegraphed
to the. American embassy at Paris the
following message to be handN to
James X. Hackett on the occasion Of
his appearance at the Odeon Theater.
in Paris.
The President. having learned
with much interest Of the official in
vitation extended to you by the
French government, through the
ministry of fine arts, to appear at
the Odeon Theater, Paris, in the
character of Macbeth. in English, de-
sired me to convey to you his felici-
tation, to which 1 add my own, on
this we'll merited recognition of your
histrionic ability. The President per-
ceives as well in this action Of the
French government an implied com.
pliment to the United states, of
which he is duly appreciative; and
the fact that for the first time Amer
lean, French and British artists will
appear together at a~hational thea
ter by official invitation appeals to
him as significant of those ties by
which the peoples of the three coun-
tries are bound in sympathetic fell
lowship. We trust that your presen-
tation of this masterpiece of the
English dramatist will be the fore
runner of many interchanges of dra-
matte talent between the United
States and France"

Helpful Exercise
I used to sit in pomp and state

I used to sit in pomp and state
and took no exercise, and l
achieved such grevious weight I
panied the doctors eyes. Twas
very little grub / ate, my appe-
tite unsound; but every bite in
creased my weight three-quar-
tiers of a pound. And then 1
heard the doctor say, "You sure
ly lard the earth; you'll have to
walk twelve miles a day, and
thus cut down your girth." So
I put on my nine-league boots,
and walked till / was lame, al
though I never cared three boots
for walking as a game. But one
must heed whatever rules the
doctors may invent, whatever
sort of 'pathic schools those docs
may represent. And SC 1 walked
along the shore about hundred
miles, and then l walked a hun
dred more, in all the ragtime
styles. The first result of all
this toll was appetite renewed !;
the women had to fry and boil
great quantities of food. My
appetite was strange and weird,
it clamored still for more; the
loaves and fishes disappeared,
and all the larder's store. My
weight increased by leaps and
bounds, by bounds and leaps it
grew, and where I used to gain
two pounds l now gain twenty
two. The fat man fails in all he
does, in all the schemes he tries,
and alecks always round him
buzz, and talk of exercise.
