NEW YORK. January 81.


The average New Yorker seldom
lives long in the same apartment. 1t
is seldom that the average middle
class family has the same address for
more than two years, which Is the
ordinary lease period. Every apart
ment house has its disadvantages as
a home, so tenants are constantly
being lured into new ones. only to
find there a new set of disadvantages
to be endured for another two years.
Sooner or later, as his income in
creases, the New Yorker acquires an
ambition to own a home in the
suburbs, but real estate men tell me
that these country homes are kept
only three years after purchase, the
owners then returning to the city to
disadvantages Of country life after
city conveniences, the difficulty of
getting servants to stay in the
suburbs. and the problem OF main
tanning fuel supply.
Sense Of Property Lacking.
Even those New Yorkers who have
acquired great wealth seem to have
failed in intoxicating into their fam
lilies the desirabiiity Of keeping In
the family an estate as a permanent
family seat, such as exists in Eng
land. Ownership OF the costly man
sions erected by New York multi
millionaires is constantly shifting.
and even the great country estates
seldom are owned by the same family
for two generations. The million
dollar home built by the late Capt.
Joseph r. de Lamar at Madison ave-
ma and 37th street has Just been sold
to the National Democratic Club, and

The Challis messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1912-current, 1923-01-03

Pekin.-General WI Pei-Fu expects
to remain at Paotingfu until parlia-
ment is assembled and a new presl-
dent installed. Afterward he will go to
Pekin to pay his respects to tile new
government, thus publicly showing his
support of the new regime military
prowess brought into effect.
Ii Yuan-Hung has not yet definitely
accepted the presidency. 1t is under
stood that he still awaits answers to
the conditions he laid down Sunday,
the most difficult of which is held to
be his demand that the southern, or
Canton, government of Sun Yat-Sen
be abolished.
Sun has not responded to the ques-
ton of whether he is willing to sac
rifice himself for the unity of China.
Lii insists on knowing whether the Can
ton governments intends to attempt to
continue.
General WI, while realizing the
grave problems of his country, fees
that a good advance has been m;.~s
toward converting China to a real re-
public, with fractional discord thing
of the past.
Interviewed Sunday he was hopeful
that Canton would see the wisdom OF
joining the north in an effort to unity
the country. He said he believed that
if the parliament at Canton would
join those members Of the old parlia-
ment now assembled at Tien Tsin, Sun
Yat-Sen would be deprived of further
reason for continuing as president OF
the southern China republic.
He explained that his object in re-
naming at Paotingfu was to give par
lament the opportunity TO re-establish
civil authority without the appearance
Of military pressure.
Public opinion as reflected in the
Chinese press indicated Sunday that
the north had abandoned all luminosity
toward the south. The northern press
appeared unanimously eager to effect
a concilation. The newspaper point
ed out that the south had no reason
to question the motives of WI Pei
Flu, who, they asserted, was the only
military leader showing constructive
ideas and unselfish purposes. They
urged disarmament of the various
armies and abolition of the military
governors of provinces.
These elements they held RESPONSE
BILE for the slow progress Of China.
