Peking. The forces of General
Chang Eso-Lin, the Manchurian lead
er. have been completely driven from
the region of Picking, and General WI
Pei-Fu now is in control of the situa-

was eliminated with the disarming OF
his guard inside the capital and Gen

government as having assumed con-
troll.
1t is understood President Hsu Shih-
Chang will remain in office until the

eral WI says he does not intend to
interfere with him.
The reorganization of the cabinet is
expected Premier Liang Shih-Yi,

eral Chang, will he automatically
eliminated. The premier at present is
in Tientsn.
Acting Premier Chow Teu-Chi, prob
ably will resign. He has conferred

with regard to the government. Cen
eral WI has remained outside Peking
thus far and has given no indication
of an intention TO enter the city. He

Hastings Finances
in Splendid Shape;
Officers Installed

At the installation of new officers
of the municipality of Hastings last
night a financial statement was pre-
scented which shows that the little
city prospered Unusually during 1921.
The cash in bank increased $2,518.22
during the year, or 82.9 per cent. Also
$2,259.19 was paid on old accounts
due prior to January, 1921, being 25.6
per cent of all the money that was
paid out during the year. 1t was
shown that the town does not owe any
but current bills.
From 1914 to the end of 1920 the
sum of $3,01S.46 was placed to the
credit of the sinking fund, an average
of $431.02 year for the seven years.
During 1921 the sum of 81, 600.42 was
placed in the sinking fund in addition
to $500 for interest.
A feature of the meeting was the
installation of Mayor B. B. Bailey
and Councimen W. r. Sellers. R. B.

of Film Tomorrow

D. W. Griffith's spectacle, 'The
Birth of a Nation" begins its en-
gagement at the Grand theater to-
morrow. There will be two per-
formances daiyl at p. m. and $3.50
p. m.
Nothing like this wonderful at
traction has ever been seen upon the
local boards. It is given here exact
ly as presented recently in New York
city, where the drama set a new rec
ord for attendance at the famous
Capitol theater, playing to over $46,-
900 in one week and to more than
100000 people in fortnight.
1t covers wide range of Ameri-
can history and touches only the
highest points of interest in the
great events that preceded and ter
minated the civil war. The force
that slavery played in producing this
crisis is traced from its inception to
its abolition. While the basic theme
is historical, $4,000 people fill the
stage which has vast territory for
its background, 5000 horses pass be-
fore your view in wild dashes over
miles of country roadway. The de-
cisive battles of the civil war are re-
produced in faithful detail and you
see these conflicts fought again just
as they weer waged over so years
ago. Cities were built up only to
be destroyed to lend force and verify
to the dramatic narrative. One
enormous battlefield is shown
stretching over an area of 10 square
miles and upon these plains and
trenches 10000 soldiers clash in a
warfare tina tbs as real as if you
were an eyewitness of the actual &C.
curenrce. Holding the great effects
in tether is story as tender and
true as love and romance can be pic
tured. There are tears and smiles,
noble sacrifices and heroic deeds of
personal valor. Youthful dreams of
loves fruition are rent asunder by
the demons of war; home ties snap
before the call to arms, and suffer
ing such as cannot be imagined is
depicted in the crude manner that
history is made when men surern-
der reason to passion and engage in
deadlock of armed resistance.

and telephoned to Miami Beach,
