Lin in Peking. STRUGGLE FOR CONTROL “Restoration of Manchus Through “Boy Emperor” Not Regarded as Probability. BY JUNIUS B. WOOD, Resignation of the Peking’cabinet is the direct result of China's finan- cial troubles, which have been in- creasing in recent weeks. at the present time, it offers dra- matic possibilities for immediate action. That it was precipitated by the presence in Peking of Gen. Chang Tso Lin, the Mukden warlord and former Hunhutzu bandit, indicated by the cables.

School soon will learn that they are all wrong as to what kind of husbands they will condescend to accept, when they reach the higher ground of college life, ac- cording to Goucher College girls, who claim to know. The Western High girls took a ballot recently on “What three at- tributes would you require in a husband?" In_ order of impor- tance, the qualifications required of a husband were that he should be handsome, tall and good na- tured. “The only essential qualification of a husband,” Goucher girls say, “is that he consent to be a hus- band. We are not so_ foolish as to hold such contests, because we realize their futilit “It would be heavenly to get a husband as handsome as Wallace Reid, Conway Tearle and Thomas Meighan; as rich as Vincent Astor and as gentlemanly as Mr. Poult- ney. But they don’t come that way.” They admit, however, that they like handsome, rich and kindly men. Many other qualifications were mentioned incidentally, but it appears that a religious or hon- est man is not particularly yearned after—or maybe they took those qualities for granted. “boy emperor,” whose mother com- mitted suicide in a palace of the Forbidden city on October 1, seems hardly probable. The chances are better for a struggle between Chang Tso Lin and Tsao Kun, the two war- lords who control north China, the Peking government being merely their puppet figurehead. Complain of Finances. The resignation of the cabinet itself is little more than “the ma; nificent gesture” so essential to ori- ental statesmanship. Members of the cabinet have been resigning as in- dividuals for weeks. The substantial reason was that there was no money in the treasury to pay them, and while they might have been willing to serve for the honor alone, they realized that more substantial emolu- ments were necessary for the officials and employes under them. Most of the resignations were of the usual “face-saving” tvpe, with a substan- tial string attached so that the cabi- net minister continued in office, the resignation serving to register pro- test and discouragement. Gen., Tsai Chen Hsuan, minister of war, tendered his resignation, ex- plaining that he was unable to satisfy the demands of his subordinates for their pay. Admiral Li Ting Hsin, minister of the navy, did likewise, fol- lowed by Pan Fu, No. 2 vice minister of finance, while Niu Chuan Shan, No. 1 vice minister of finance, announced a threaténed resignation. Wu Chi Sun, chief secretary to President Hsu Shih Chang, upon whom devolved the task of keeping the cabinet intact, resigned with the declaration that he “found no way to appease the unpaid officials.” < Effort to Avold Crash. Sir Francis Anglen, the capable Englishman who is the head of the Chinese maritime customs, has been the financial mentor in the trouble. His trip to the Washington conference was canceled just as he was leaving Peking in the hopes that he would be able to ward off the crash. The Bank of China and the Bank of Com- munications were threatened with financial difticulties, and the cabinet demanded that the surplus from the Co., The Home of the Study T, 817 14th st. n.w.

Fhoas customs be turned over to assist the banks. Sir Francis refused, his prin- cipal contention being that the Chi- nese domestic loans which have been floated in the past ten years mature in 1422, and the sur s has been pledged to pay the 25,000,000 taels ($12,500,000) which falls dued The cabinet insisted on a reconsideration of this decision. That the days of the cabinet were numbered seemed obvious last month, The October drawings for the first year internal loen were postponed In- { definitely. 1t defaulted on principal and interest, due November 1, on_the $5.500,000 foreign loan from the Con- tinental and Commercial Bank of Chi- cago. It defaulted on the principal, due December 1, and secured a ninety- day extension, ‘but paid the interest on the $5.300,000 foreign loan from the Pacific Development Corporation of New York. Both loans had been | made in 1919. Charges are made that the cabinet aggravated the crisis. Employes either were not paid or were given checks on the government treas- ury, which the banks refused with the’ rubber-stamped explanation “No | funds.” A run started on both banks. | Foreign banks delivered $300,000 Mexican to them to pay the Pe- king police and soldiers. They han- led the crowd. The fronts of the anks were barricaded with planks and for days long lines slowly passed through the doors, one at a time, to get a maximum of ten silver dollars in exchange for notes. Despite the cabinet, the panic was staved off. Chang Tso Lin came to the rescue with a remittance of 3,000.000 taels. In return he suggested that the re- ceipts of the Peking-Mukden railroad be turned over to him as security and that he appoint certain officials in the | banks. His hand-picked cabinet was willing, but the bank officials refused and struggled along without the 3,000,000 Gen. Chang's friends say that he is! heartily in favor of the present con- ference, having contributed $100,000 Mexican, tothe expenses of the delega- tion. His oldest son, Brig. Gen. Chang Hsu Liang, passed last month in Japan, one of the guests at the an- nual army maneuvers. He speaks English and TS-an active member of the Mukden Y. M. C. A. Chang Tso Lin's army and the Hunhutzu bandits that he formerly commanded hold undisputed sway over Manchuria and a good share of Mongolia. In China he is denounced as an agent of Japan and in Japan he | is looked upon as the greatest ob- stacle to that country's activities in north China. He is for whichever is best for Chang. He is young, about forty-five years old, intelligent, shrewd and energetic, and unless sudden death intervenes is destined to con- tinue the strongest man in China. It has frequently been said that he will gound a new dynasty or at least a separate kingdom of Mongolia. When he comes to Peking officials tremble, the streets are lined with his soldiers, ordinary trains stop run- ning and everything halts for hours until he passes. With Gen. Wu Fu, the best and most popular leader of his rival, Tsao Kun, and most of the troops of the north busily engaged in fighting the armies of south China, Peking is easy picking for Chang Tso Lin today if he wants it.

A friend of the Christmas oppor- tunities has been doing some figuring on his own account as to what it will mean in terms of Christmas joy and benevolence to save these fourteen homes throughout the coming year. He says that reduced to arithmetical terms it means 77,745 individual square meals. It is as if some Lady Bountiful should invite 77,745 per- sons to a Christmas breakfast, and vet he says it means much more than that, because with each meal goes a warm fireside in each of the fourteen homes and assured shelter over the families’ heads for a full twelve months, with warm clothing, besides companionship and a mother’s train- ing for the fifty-two children and all the rest that goes to make up home, sweet home. When thus translated into terms of human joy and child- training $13,000 does not seem too much, this friend of the opportunities says, for a big, rich city like Wash- ington to contribute to assure 365 happy days for seventy-one people throughout 1922. Another contribution has been re- cefved to take care of one of the 0p- portunities for a whole week. This comes from Mrs. Walker's class of the Calvary M. E. Sunday School, who sent $27 to support Opportunity No. 2 for a whole week. This is the oppor- tunity where there are no outside re- sources, and the sum needed is the largest in any of the opportunities. Printers’ Union Kind. The Plate Printers’ Union, which has been a good friend of the oppor- tunities for many years, sends its usual donation of $5 to each of the fourteen. No. 6 being closed, its share is given to No. 14. The morning’s report, acknowledg- ing $2,146, shows that returns are slightly behind last year at this time. With only six more days till Christ- mas and with $11,000 still needed, there is, as Jack, who placed his money on No. 9 said, “need of more pep.”” which means speed in filling these empty stockings. 3 Contributions sent to the Associated Charities, John Joy Edson, treasurer, 923 H street northwest, or to The Star will be promptly acknowledged. Contributions for the remaining thirteen opportunities may be sent to the Associated Charities, 923 H street northwest, or to the office of The Evening Star. Checks should be made payable to John Joy Edson, treasurer, Associated Charities. No. 1.

BUENOS AIRES, December 19.—Vast clouds of volcanic ashes from the erupting ‘peaks in the Andes are sweeping across Argentina, obscuring the sun in many sections. Carried by a southwest wind from a point in the Andes range at about latitude 41, where the eruptions are supposed to be occurring, ashes are reported to have fallen at places nearly ten de- grees of latitude farther north, and from the Andes to the Atlantic ocean. ;l‘he first ash clouds reached the city of La Plata, thirty-five miles south- east of this city, at 5 o'clock yester- day aftccnoon; the sun was ob- servers also repcrted a slight film of dust over- Buenos Aires, aithough it Iwu not noticed by the inhabitants.

No alarm is felt in this section, as the fall has not been heavy enough to do any damage, but it is feared that livestock in the ter- ritory to the southwest is in danger through the ashes covering the graz- Infi lands. |, Reports continue to be received from remote villages along the Ar- gentine western border of earth shocks and subterreanean thunder, ] together with the renewed falling of volcanic ashes.

SHONINGER PIANOS Altogether we have ordered within the last few months six carloads of Shon- inger Pianos, more than we have ever ordered before of this particular make in any one year. Certain circumstances at the factory and the large order we placed enabled us to receive unusual price concessions, of which we are giving our customers the full benefit. The Shoninger has a World-Wide Reputation for Quality and Durability and is sold ragularly for $525. Since 1850 the Shon- inger has been on the market and we have handled and sold hundreds of these instruments in the past 18 years. AT $395.00 WE CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT THE SHONINGER PIANO IS THE BEST PIANO VALUE OFFERED IN THE WHOLE UNITED STATES. After our present stock of Shoningers is sold the price will have to go back to $525.00. If it is not convenient to pay the $395 cash, we will sell the same on terms of $25 when instrument is delivered and balance can be paid 'Music Roll Cabinets A cabinet would make a most acceptable gift.
