General WI Wins a Victory
(From the New York Herald. }.

The victory OF General Pei-fu
V:ceroy Of Honan and chief OF the
central Chinese army, appears com
plete. The forces of his rival, Gen

the gates OF Pekin, and the railroad

open, much to the relief of the for
eigners in the Chinese capital.
The war between these two Chi

seventh since the Republic in which
some party or faction has resorted
TO arms to settle in its own way the
political difficulties OF the country.

KTDDIES CROWD ZOO
ON MAY SUNDAY

All day yesterday Brandywine
Park looked as II a dozen or more
Sunday school outings had been un-
loaded on its shady lawns. The sun
shine brought out thousands OF boys
and girls and a good many Of their
parents. The youngsters kept their
elders busy following them around,
and viewing the latest additions to
the zoo.
The most popular place was the
monkey house. The monkeys seem
ed TO be the only ones who had the
ambition to skip about their cages
for the entertainment OF the visitors.
The brown bears and alligators had
a spell OF spring fever and refused
to do anything but sun themselves
and sleep. The elk as befitted their
stately manner, condescended to oe
viewed in a most dignified way.

has a rather interesting political
background. with a plan Of reform
OF his own. He got not little Of
his political training and advance
ment from his former chief. Yuan
Shih-kai. Chang Tso-liu was gener-
ally referred to by the Chinese
themselves as a bandit lord who
dominated Manchuria and as an un-
crowned king OF the north China
provinces. BY the military forces
which he had at his command he
was able TO extend his power to
Pekin. The grasp which he thus had
upon the central Government and
the control which he exercised over
the nominal President. Hsu Shih-
chang, are what aroused the opposi-
ton OF the WI Pei-fu.
The rivalry between these two
chiefs IS not ended by any means.
Chang Tso-Liu is likely 10 be a men
ace TO Pekin until he is driven back
to his capital at Mukden. To accom-
plish this Is WI Pei-fu's declared
aim. But even this ultimate success

DEFENDS SMOKING BY GIRLS.

| DEFENDS SMOKING BY GIRLS.
70 the Editor of The Evening Jour
nal
Sir: When reading some OF the
back editions of The Evening Jour
nal. came across this very inter-
esting piece:
should a Teacher Smoker
Should any girl smoke ?" was the
sist Of It: We are all of use in one
sense or another teachers, for there
is always someone psttering after us.
Therefore, 1t behooves us to be care
full of our every action. Then, If
some smoke there are others who
will say. ''So-and-so smokes; I will
too" And. does It make a girl less
lady-like to do so? That is the ques-
ton.
Every privilege we have is abused
by many, but that is not saying
that we should all be deprived of its
use because some abuse II. Then.
too, what Is a better example than
a person who uses a thing without
abusing 1t.
There fare lots of things that are
done in private that one would not
dream OF doing in public. 1t does
not necessarily say that one is a
sneak to restrain oneself from doing
certain things in public that one
does in private. 1t should be a good
lesson to the young men to know
that girl could restrict her use of
tht weed. Indeed, It might be a good
influence and cause them to be more
moderate in using II.
I have heard many men say that
a smoke is good for the nerves. Is
that not all the more argument in a
girls favor? I would not think
much of the opinion of one who said
It was not. We also know that ex
cessive use OF It will destroy ones
nerves, and, as I said before, there
Is not a thing but what you will find T.
many who abuse it.
I positively cannot see how II will /
degrade a girr who is careful in her
use of It and who does not smoke in /
public, or. in the presence OF a
man. I cannot see how her restrict
ed use of It could be anything but a
good influence.

LOCAL MAN HAD
LOST ALL HOPE

Got Relief From His
Troubles
HE HAD SUFFERED
FOR MANY YEARS

The fact that Plant Juice Is an un-
usual medicinal preparation for the
stomach. liver kidney and blood
should now be established to every
body in Wilmington because. since
this famous herbal remedy has been
introduced here. hundreds of local
citizens have publicly testified 10
the wonderful benefit they have re-
ceived, even in cases of long stand
ing illness.
Another of these surprising testi-
monials about Plant Juice given by
Wilmington residents was received
recently from Mr.. Harry Miller, of
921 Church street. who has lived
here for several years and has. many
friends. He said:

ful medicine in Plant Juice. for II

Il felt blue and discouraged. For
years had been a great sufferer from

terrible pains in my back and had
such pains all through my body that
when I bent over in my work I
could hardly straighten up again.
and after sitting down for any length
OF time my legs would be stirf and
sore when I got up. I was consti-
pated and had a bad taste in my
mouth all the time. I was so ner-
vous I couldn't sleep right. I was
weak, had no energy or ambition and
had catarrhal trouble and was al
ways taking cold.
II took many medicines without
results but when I heard OF Plant
Juice I decided to try It as a last
resort and I want to say that the
benefit I got from this remedy was
perfectly wonderful. I sleep like a

appetite for my meals. do not know

NO SEPTEMBER MORN
BATHING AT ARDEN

The responsibility for preventing
bathing "a la September Morn"
and other abuses of the swimming
pool offensive to the residents of
Arden during the coming summer
season, now rests with the village
authorities. The Arden Clubs
swimming pool committee, in relin-
gushing its obligation TO supervise
the operations of the famous pool,
is looked upon by the residents as
an easement Of the strict rules put in
force by the committee last year,
which raised such a storm OF pro-
test. Visitors to the village inn and
other boarding houses were dis
barred from the use of the pool. last
summer, and took revenge by build
ing a rival pool further up the creek
and threatened to duck any Arden
ito who ventured there.
