,SHAGHAI, Aug, 26.- China is in the grip of a dictatorship so malig- nant that her only hope of escape lies in help from the outside.
 Not one dictator, but several, are slowly but surely strangling the Celestial republic, now republic in name only. History will probably dub this period of China's misrule as "The Dictatorship of the Tuchunate," t period when each military governor or Tuchun, of province set himself up as little king in his own right and dictated to Pekin what to do.

"The Trails End

One of the interesting events for lovers of the photoplay or the season is occurring at the central theatre, where James Oliver Curwood's latest story of the Northland. 'Isobel, or The Trails End" opened yesterday. This film drama is product of the dlrectorlal IaIent of Edwin Carewe, and is presented with a cast which features House Peters and charming Jane Novak.
 Of all the Curwood stories, i; has been acknowledged that none has the breadth and human appeals of his fa- nous novel, "Isobel," from which this interesting epic of a Northland TO- nance was adapted. Those who have read this volume will find that the photoplay version adheres closely to the lines of action and character DOT trayal as laid down by the author. Edwin Carewe, in fact, has been said to have given photoplay fans their first real glimpse of Curwood; in oth- CT words, he has retained the full pow CT of the authors sweeping charac- ter portrayal and his tense and excit- ing olimaxes.
 "Isobel or the Trails End" will again be the excellent feature at the Central theatre this afternoon and to- night and at the Eagle theatre Sunday and Monday.

The Crux Of Disarmament
 No. TUCHUN REIGN OF TERROR

AS I see it.. China has but one chance to escape from her fatal bond age in Sthe near future and that one chance reposes in Washington. When the conference of the powers, called by President Harding, meets in the American capital, it will be up to the American delegates to take the initia- tive, not only to save China from oth- CTS but fro mherself as well.
 Chinese War-lords
 There are about dozen Tuchuns now saddled on Chinas back. These may be divided into two categOries: FIRST, there are those who pay

on the Yangtze.
 The reason" for the footing by the Chinese troops was that they had been demobilized.
 Things like this are happening in China right along. though fortunately on a smaller scale.
 Was the Tuchun of Hupeh removed from office?
 He was not. Here is his official explanation"
 At the first moment intended to attack these looters with great sever ity, but recollected that Wuchung is the capital city of Hupeh and that Hankow is a commercial city occu- pied by both foreign and Chinese res idents and I did not wish to let the people suffer the disturbance of hear ing the sound of rifles and big guns
 I secretly instructed Brig. Gen. Liu to shoot the looters on their arrival at Siaokan.'
 Picking the Vassa
 At this writing Tuchun Wang is still in office. Chang Tso-lin, the boss Tuchun, has so decreed. He won't let Picking fire Wang-even if Picking could, which it could not unless the dictating Tuchuns willed it.
 And the "Tuchun's Union" does will it. To fire Wang would be bad for the Tuchun business. Other Tu chuns, in their turn. might besimilar- ly held to account.
 As long as Tuchun Wang plays the Tuchun game, he will continue to hold his Tuchun job--unless outside influences interfere.
 Picking can not abolish the Tuchun- ate with it's army of 1,500.000 men. The Tuchuns, however, if they so will, can abolish Picking.
 People Abhor Oespots
 This is all necessarily very sketchy. but I hope it will furnish d glimpse at one of the many grave problems the Washington conference will have to face.
 The Chinese people, rich and poor. educated and illiterate. abhor the mil itarst dictators now exploiting them. Properly approached, adequately aid ed, the people themselves will yank these upstart kinglets from their perches and set Chna's house to rights.
 Aid to China must in no wise be considered in the light of charity. While China would profit immensely through such help, it is the peace of the world at stake and consequently to the everlasting self-interest of the Great Powers themselves.
