SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.--CiVil
strife in their home land has caused
no breach in Chinese unity on the
western shores of America. Senti-
ment among the thousands of orien-
tails on the coast almost unanimously
favors the Cantonese forces.
~ Strangely enough it is the Chinese
youth in America which is most
deeply concerned in the outcome of
the great upheaval. Chinese youths
+ here for the most part, are Ameri-
can-born. Their fathers, many of
whom migrated from China, seem
disinterested in the affairs of their
native land. They are content to loll
about their curio shops, discussing
lotteries, or even the weather, in
preference to China.
Young Students Lead
There are 10000 members of the
Chinese Nationalist party on the
Pacific coast. Young Chinese, most
OF them university students, are the
leaders of the $50 locals.
In huge Chinatown hall here in
the oriental Capital of the United
States hundreds Of the Nationalist
meet weekly. News from the front
is read, patriotic speeches made.

More Attention Than Any
Since Boni de CaSteIIane'S.

iBy the Associated Press.
PARIS. April 29.-The fashionable
places where the American and for
eign colonies gather were agog today
with the news that divorce proceed
ings, oft rumored and denied, had
been started by Mr. and Mrs. VIII
liam X. Vanderbilt Not since the
Ioni de Castellane case 20 years ago
have such American personages ap-
piled to the Paris courts to unbind the
marriage ties. Even the French press,
contrary to usual custom, went so
far as to devote brief paragraph to
the news.
Mrs. Vanderbilt filed her petition for
divorce first. charging that her hus-
band refused her access to his home
4 in Paris; then Mr.. Vanderbilt insti-
I tuted a counter suit for divorce, bas-
ing his action on the allegation of his
wife's coldness.
Daughter of Former Senator.
The two suits were filed, it is un-
derstood, to avoid prOtracted proceed
ings. Under French law the party
against whom judgment is given for
feits advantages obtained from the
other party either under the marriage
Fcontract or by subsequent settlements
A Cross-petition. which is usually
granted, obviates this difficulty
Mrs. Vanderbilt was Miss Virginia
Fair. daughter of the late James
Graham Fair, at one time Senator
from Nevada and a noted figure in
mining circles in Nevada and Calif0r-
mia, She was married to Mr. Wander
Silt 28 years ago, but they have not
been living together for years. They
have one son, William X. Vanderbilt,
Sd, and two daughters, Mrs. +. G.
Church, jr., and Mrs. Earl f. 7.
Smith,
Friends of Mrs Vanderbilt limited
that she might apply to the rota at
sRome TO have the marriage annulled
on the ground that undue pressure
was exercised by her parents to bring
about the marriage. The rota an
nulled the marriage of Consuelo Van
derbilt and the Duke of Marlborough
on such grounds. Consuelo is the
sister of W. K. Vanderbilt.
Marriage Rumors Heard.
Mrs. Vanderbilt is a Roman Cath
, haio, while Mr.. Vanderbilt is an Epis-
copalian. Both daughters married
IEpiscopalians. one by a Catholic cere-
lmony and the other by both Episco-
tpalian and Catholic rites.
When the couple appeared at the
Raris law courts yesterday afternoon
ITO file their suits they were told to
return in three weeks, when, in ac-
.Dordance with French law, an effort
will be made to bring about reconcile
alton.
Since Mr.. Vanderbilt returned to
Paris recently from a Mediterranean
cruise there has been gossip that
after obtaining a divorce he would
marry Mrs. Rosamond Lancaster
SVarburton Of Philadelphia, who was
b member of the cruising party.

RED MARCH

Bind up our uncouth wounds, o granite earth !
With hammered marching we are buffeted
Between contemptuous Winds
And catapaulting minds
Breaking upon us with shoddy of the dead,
Shrillng against us for our uncommon birth.
o sounding earth, be resonant for us!
Their cormorant clamor and witches brew in
vain
Are flung upon us here,
Our ranks are without fear,
Our banners catch the red of dawn again,
Our shouts devour them our march is ominous !!
Bind up our wounds, but never be at ease
Wit quiescent tents and panoplies
Blu imb up to the portals of the wise,
b amber to the outposts of the skies

And realize what's mine-and theirs.

Runs thru my veins l am enraged
With all my impotent disgrace.
What vistas of a magic land

What pearl and sapphire unfold
As aching feet plod on and on.

THERE is a deluge of questions;
notes are sent up to the platform.
The verbal questions are written
down by the comrades in charge of

speaks calmly and with assurance.

Comrades, what the comrade from

true. If the author had written swear
words just so, for the mere sake of
swearing, out Of bravad1 it would
be a different matter. There are
writer's whose every third word is
swear-word, without any necessity,
so that it's disgusting to read their
stuff. But in this book it is the pure
truth. Take these peasants who re-
treat along the sea; they swear all
over the place without thinking about
it; that's their habit. The peasant
must be described as he is"

A piece Of paper is sent up:
"If these peasants who suffered so
much during the retreat and through
blood and pain learned to organize
themselves, once more should stick to
their piece Of land, would they remain
as well organized or would they once
more hang around the samovar."
