During the late unpleassntness IN
Europe a certain British regiment was
ordered to occupy devastated and
deserted village. On arriving the only
living thing discovered there was a
COW which was promptly comman-
deered for the benefit Of the colonel.
The adjutant was fortunate in find
ing a bed Of strawberries TO which he
laid clam for his own use.
As the days passed, he noticed that
some of his strawberries disappeared
and he had grave suspicious as TO who
was responsible; he therefore wrote
out and posted a notice which read;
"Anyone found stealing my strawber-
ries will have his COW shot. Every

CHINESE NATIONAL BIRTHDAY
(By Lloyd Lehrbas)

Special to tho Eramner.
Shanghai, October, 10.-China
was in festive array today for the
celebration of the tenth anniversary
of the Republic. Just ten years ago
today LII Yuan-hung led the first
revolutionary troops against the I'm
.perial troops and a few months later
the Republic of China was born.
China during the ten years of its
infancy as a republican nation has
undergone a continuous series of po-
litical chnges and today while nom
inally one nation two governments
actually function within the coun-
try's boundaries.
The government is now operated
under a document drafted in Nank-
ing in 1911, known as the Provision
al Constitution of 1911. The consti-
tuition made provision for president
vice-president and national council,
which was to exercise legislative pow
er until regular parliament could
be constituted.
Yuan Shih-kai became the first
president and Ii Yaun-hung, the rev
olutionary leader, became viee-presi-
dent. A month after assuming of.
flee Yaun Shih-kai arbitrarily dis.
solved the Kuomintang party, IN
seating half the members of the par.
Lament and depriving 1t of the quor
um necessary for business. On Jan
iuary 10, 1914. the entire parliament
was suspended.

political situation by formulating
certain laws favorable to centralized
government. Early in 1915, at his
instignation a movement began In
favor OF the re-establishment of the
monarchy.
The monarchil bee buzzing in
Yuan's bennett finally tempted him
into calling a hand-picked Conven-
ton Of Citizens Representatives to
discuss the question, and ~cting un-
der his orders recommended the re-
establishment OF a monarchy with
Yuan as emperor.
! Before Yuan could be placed on
tie throns, however, revolution
occurred In the province of Yannan
that became so serious that Yuan,
fearing to rouse the entire country.
postponed the date of his ascension
to the throns of the Manchus indie
finitely.
Yuan shi-kai's death on June 6,
1916, simplified the situation some
what and Vice-president LII Yaun-
hung upon assuming the presidency
ldecIred that ofYuan's measures to
be null and void. The parliament
which had been dissolved VS. conyen.
ed and the provisional constitution
was again recognized as the funda-
mental law OF the Republic.
Friction soon rose, however, be-
tween the parliamentary party, re-
presenting South China, and the
Northern militarists and acting un-
der the pressure OF the Tuchins (mil-
itary governorsl Ii Yuan-hung dis
solved the parliament for the second
time in its brief life.
