Washington. D. C, March 2. Should
president Tuan Shi Kal and the rebel
Chinese governors who have demanded
his immediate retirement fail to come
to terms, officials here believe the re
sult would be a long and destructive
ei il war in China. It is knowp that
Yuan has provided himself ivltli a nu
merous and formidable array; according
to Chinese standards, which would
probably be lojal to him so long as he
was willing to draw upon nis large
sources of revenue for their pay..
Yuan 11a Ketlre.
Neither the state department nor the
Chinese legation has received any of
ficial advices concerning the events In
Pekln since Yuan's mandate renounc
ing the throne. Press reports from
Shanghai that Tang Shao Yi, the first
premier of the republic had urged the
president to relinquish his office to vice
president Li Yuen Heng, have been
read with interest, however, and some
officials think Yuan will be Inclined to
heed advice from such a source.
Though Tang was driven out of the
Chinese ministry as a consequence of
the resentment of the European powers
of his conclusion secretly of a loan with
a private banking bouse while negoti
ations were pending for an interna
tional six power group loan, his close
personal relations with Yuan were un
impaired. 1.1 Yuen Stronir Republican.
Tang has been a consistent republi
can and the same is true of Li Yuen
Heng, the vice president, who became
seriously embroiled with Yuan through
his cooperation with the radical ele
ments which resisted the monarchial
idea in its Inciplency.
The wife of Dr. Wellington Koo. the
Chinese minister here, is the daughter
of Li Yuen Heng. but It is said that this
connection counts for little in China.

to llfo; that have the sentiment, the
smiles and the real humanity in them.
"When I have retired, 1 want it said
of me that whatever May Hobson
played, it was clean. I was never
prouder In all my life than once in Los
Angeles, when a daughter asked her
mother If she might go to the theater
to see May Itobson, and the mother an
swered: 'Yes, vou may bo to see May
Hobson any time, for when jou see her
billed for a performance, you can be
certain that it is one that will not make
a young girl blush.' Since that, I have
heard many such remarks from moth
ers and It has always made me happy
to know this reputation I have main
tained. I.ILea Ileal Characters.
"I like plays with real characters In
them. I study my characters and try
to make them all real. I tr to put them
before the public as the characters live
in real life. I have neer plajed any
thing but character parts and I like
comedy parts because I think that is
the best way to reach the people. A
play does not become sloppy or mushy
when it has a comedy element in it.
You can introduce sentiment into a
comedy all my plas have it hut with
comedy In them, you don't drive people
into the blues. While you may tug at
the heartstrings once In a while, you
soon bring a laugh that keeps "the
mushy element out. Life is tears and
laughter. A play made up of tears and
laughter is the sort of a play that ap
peals just a few tiny tears: lust
j enough to make people feel the realit
or it ail.

are always called). Thev seemed to
realize this, and hardly a shot followed
him as he sped across the sky. He
passed over my head and made away

large, dark cloud that stretched away
towards the horizon.
The Attack.
"I glanced up again and, as I looked,
the 'plane made a sudden swerve away
from the cloud-bank and a larger and
darker form seemed to spring out of
the shadow just as you have often Been

It was the fighting 'plane I had seen

"Almost before one could realize
what was happening, the machine guns
were firing and the German was plan

The "Icllni Falls.
"At first I thought it was merely a
ruse to help him shake off his big op
ponent, but the Tol-plane vwa turned
into a spiral, and I knew that some
thing was wrong. For a few seconds
he came down steadily and then seemed
to lose al control. The radius of the
spirals got less and less, and the de
scent more steep till the 'plane was
pitching headlong downwards, whirling
round and round as it fell, like a
dancing Dervish dropping through
space.

dramatic masterpiece. "The Devil's

which the very beautiful and stately
Adele Blood, famous as "Ever woman,"
Montagu Love and Edwin Stevens, are
co-stars. Besides being a play in which
ihere is a real story and interpreted bv
Fuch artists as those named above, this
sensational drama has many points of
interest, among them, being scores of
magnificent gowns, each a creation of
fantastic loveliness. Huge and massive
sets, hundreds of people in the big en
sembles, marvelous spectacular scenes
of unbelievable splendor, an unforget
able production throughout Realistic
revels actually photographed at the
Biltmore ice gardens. New York's latest
craze: scenes in a packed and splendid
metropolitan theater during a mad riot
of enthusiasm and scores of other no
