SHANGHAI, July 81. Serious
extension of civil war which has
taken place In North China may
bring about the greatest changes
that have taken place in this coua-
try since the overthrow of the
Manchu dynasty.
Among the possibilities are the
overthrow of the Pekin govern
ment, changing the capital from
Pekin to WI Chang in Hupeh prov
ince and the unification of the
country under constitutional gov
ernment.
The Human armies have been sent
by Tuchu Chao tt against Tuchu
Wang Chan Yuan. war lord of the
Yangtse valley, who has his head
quarters at WI Chang. Already m:-
nor clashes have taken place oe-
tween the outposts of two forces
and a battle on a large scale is i'm
minent.
Cards Stacked for wu.
en-. WI Pei Flu. the war lord OF
Chi Ii province, and regarded as
China's greatest militarist is rush
ing an army to the scene. ost nsI-
bly, to assist Wang Chan Yuan. OBJ
servers believe. however, that with
the arrival of wu Pei Flu, Wang Chan
Wuan will be ousted. Chao Hang Tt
pacified and sent home and WI
elevated to the control of the
Yangtse with the support of other
provinces
This would mean that the con-
troll of the Pekin government would
be very seriously threatened and
the possibility of WI Chang becom-
ing the capital Of the North.
Would Seek Peace.
1t is also thought that WI would
Immediately seek to effect an under
standing with Canton with a view
to bringing about unity in the
country. In Canton, DIR. Sun Vat
Sen has long been working for con-
stitutional government along Amer
lean lines, the two main divisions
of the country having semi-indepen-
dent control over it's affairs.
wu and Chao are friends at pres
ent, but Wu's elevation depends
upon repulsing Chao. 1t is believed
that wu and Chao have a pact for
a bloodless repulse, but the situa-
ton is tense. Chao may scrap the
pact at the final moment and pre-
cipitate further battles IL he sue
ceeds in defeating Wang before WI
arrives.

EVIL or TIE 4; RENTING HABIT
Dependency Is Oh Other Hands for
Homes Marks a Retroaression
IA in Spirit.

When householders become renters
/ by habit, that is, when they become
willing to dependson other hands than
their own to- prayide. and maintain
their homes for them, society loses
much Of that !, valuable individuality
that personal independence, initiative
and self-reliance that distinguishes a
great people from mass of people.
For three hundred years the Ameri-
, can people have led the world in indi,
viduality, initiative and personal indie
pendence. The fathers pulled out OF
the European huddle in order that they
might stand on their own feet; and
having reached America, they had to
stand alone. Most born Americans
We're born of parents who owned their
own homes.
Contentment with huddle,s the will
ingness to live in some one else's
warmed and cared for loft rather than
in ones own fought-for and paid-for
home marks a retrogression in spirit
from the American way to the Euro
pean way of life. 5@ 5 I@ In ss.t3 @ ss
However we may excuse ourselves
for inclination toward the easy COM
fort Of the choreless, commercial, rent
ed compartment,2. and hof shrinking
from the harder demands of the de-
tached, owned and paid for home and
however respectable the renting habit
may have become, it must be admitted
that our inclination is. a phase Of so
cial degeneracy, a drift toward the
huddle, the beginning Of the. abandon

of which the owned home is pre-emi-
nently the symbol and support.-Por t-
