China.-The Peking government has
come out openly in approval of the
tuchun of Kiangsu in his fight
against the tuchun of Chekiang and
the defense commission of Shanghai
1t will be recalled how in 1919 Chang
Tso Lin, supertuchun of Manchuria-
allied himself with Tsao Kun, now
President of China, time supertuchun
Of the great provinces of Chilli, Shan
tung and Honan, and how their
combined forces overthrew the party
of the Anfuites, WI Pei Flu, as a
subordinate of Tsao Kun, doing the
lions share of the fighting and thus
laying the foundation of the power
he now wields. In general the An
flutes were ousted from power, but
the Anfuite tuchun of Che kiang and
the Anfuite defense commissioner of
Shanghai avoided the wreck and held
on to their very. fat jobs. Precisely
why that wicked old tory, Chang Tso
Lin, Joined in the move to overthrow
his spiritual brethren, the Anfuites,
has not been disclosed.
In 1922 Chang Tso Lin attempted
with an army brought down from
Manchuria to impose himself as die
tator at Peking, but Wu Pei Flu (pro-
Tossing himself, and probably sim
cerely, to be a patriot with liberal
views) being then supertuchun of
the provinces of Human and Hupeh,
brought up his forces from the south,
thrashed Chang Tso Lin and sent
him flying back to Manchuria. Sun
dry AnfuiteS emerged from cover and
joined Chang Tso Lin's enterprise,
but to the best of my recollection the
tuchun of Chekiang and the defense
commissioner Of Shanghai lay low.
Tsao Kun, still supertuchun of
Shantung Chilli and Honan, NOM

won, he might (backed by a fresh
army kept well in HANDY, posing as a
benevolent neutral. plausibly have
claimed the gratitude of Chang Tso
Lin, in the form of a substantial
share in the fruits Of victory.
No honest occidental pretends to
the slightest comprehension of po-
litical developments in China since

A WEICHTY DECISION,

~ HAT can a man do when
he has been sitting
Wv between Jesus Christ
and Napoleon Bona
parte?" These words
we're credited to Clemenceau, the
Tiger" as he emerged one day from
the peace conference. Strikingly
suggestive they are. They remind
one of the remark of another who
declared that, 1.-The struggle was on
between Jesus Christ and the man on
horseback" In one form or another
TINS statement has been repeatedly
made during the past fateful years.
IL implies that so-called Christian
civilization has come to it's period of
supreme struggle with forces that
would supercede and destroy it.
The world is called to make choice
between the mighty principles enun-
Grated by Christ and to recognize His
leadership, or to choose for it's guild
ance some human system or philoso-
ply that recognizes the sovereignty
of man and his judgment. The two
are so utterly opposed and antithet-
ical that there can be no compro-
mise or reconciliation.
Religion of Convenience.
Choose you this day whom ye will
serve" is the clear call of this mo-
mentous hour. True, our civilization
has been but part Christian. We
have made a compound of our selfish
conceits and our Christian faith and
called it "Christianity." Our religion
has been largely matter of con-
Nen1ence; we have recognized it as
having a value in regulating our So
cial habits and practices. Its aesthe-
tic value has been unchallenged, it's
lofty standards unrivaled, its ethics
widely recognized as altogether in
comparable. Jesus Christ among the
great teachers of religion holds a
place utterly unique. He stands
apart and alone among the sons of
men. All this is readily recognized.
and yet we refuse Him His place of
sovereignty. When the world is ex-
periencing tranquility and peace,
whep trade is good and social and
industrial conditions are practically
normal, and when there is general
contentment abroad, we seem to get
on pretty we'll without ethics or re-
ligion. and We chafe under any sys-
tenn that imposes discipline or self
restraint. Conditions are different
when the opposite of all this is true.
We need something more than human
ingenuity can supply when the strain
is on and things generally are out
of joint. We come at length to find
that
Our little systems have their day,
They have their day and cease to be
but that the big issues that have to
do with our largest and most vital
concerns find their security and per-
manence in the recognition of divine
plan back of the scheme of things.
The world at different periods has
seemed to lean toward the man on

their ancestors to substantiate claims
for joining societies, for historical
data regarding posts and expeditions.
There are many interesting docu
ments in these archives. such as the
original oath of Gen. Washington and
all his officers.
The records of the World War are
so voluminous that a special division
had to be created to keep track of
them. This World War Division,
located at Sixth and B streets north
west. covers an entire city block, and
contains all the records of organiza-
tions and individuals who participant
ed in that titanic struggle. These
records date from 1912 to 1919. This
division contains the personnel rec
ords, which furnish the facts for
reckoning how much bonus is due
each claimant.

first be made clear that besides being

partment records the adjutant gen.

Cows in City Thrive
Like Country Cousins

We have all come to believe that
the cows are all in the country and
that they have no city cousins, in
spite of the fact that any day Wash
ingtonians can see one Of the finest
herds of Holsteins in the world graz
ing in the Soldiers Home pastures.
AS a matter of fact, there are 1.200,-
900 city" cows in the United States,
as against 25.556,000 country cows,
according to a survey by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The combined production of the "city"
cows and the country" cows in the
United States last year was 100000
600, 900 pounds of whole milk or an
average production per COW of 1850
pounds. The effect of city life on the
producing capacity Of, COW is not

LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN

TON, CONTINUED

sgd, Ruth's answer to my ques-
ton about women loving their chill
dren more than their husbands was
most surprising. Without the slight
est hesitation she said:
"Of course they do. A woman has
the same feeling of possession in re-
gard to her children as a man has
in regard to his wife. They aspire
to be the arbiter Of their chill.
dren's fate.
This however is something that
is going to be done away WITH" con-
tinued Ruth, "for children are al.
ready asserting their independence
They will hardly now listen TO dicta'
ton without reason"
Here, sgd. / realized that / had
been putting off the fatal question

feminine philosophy simply to Keen
her from telling me that she thought
| should go to Leslie and tell her
the whole story.
Just as 1 had screwed up courage
enough to tell Ruth / would confess
TO Leslie that night she was called

damned efficient press agent Of hers,
Dick Summers, had sprung some
thing new upon me. He had written
Leslie a letter asking her to be one
Of the patronesses at a reception
given to Paula after one Of her
matinee appearances.
Leslie had consented TO do this
providing Ruth and some of her
other friends would Join her. The
Summers individual was calling
Ruth to tell her Of the scheme.
When Ruth came back to me she
was almost smiling. knew she con-
sidered it quite a joke. and then her
face grew serious again.
