GILES. .llble to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1024, BEKING, May 233—The attempted assseination of,Dr. Wellington Koo, 'hinese minister of foreign affairs, ungxpectedly makes him a hero in the ovds of the Chinese, but it has dome mofpe to strengthen the cabinet's po- fon than anything else. For a'long timp the cabinct has been divided on thet subject of China's international proplems. ior example, thel demand of France that the Boxer indgmnity payments be made in gold insfead of paper francs, while Wang Keimin, minister of flanance, insist- d fthat the French demand be com- pligd with for the reason that it wopld bring about the consent of Fr4nce to an increase of China’s cus- tor} rates which eventuslly would bripg in a large revenue. ! Refused Infernal Machime. Wang Ke-min was stanchly sup- porjed by President -Tsao Kun, while koe did not have any strong support from the cabinet. The attempt to asspssinate Koo, who, having been wagned in advance, declined to ac- cept a parcel labeied “Platinum of | lurge value, gave it to his servants Mr. Koo has rejected to unwrap. This package was found to_contain an infernal machine. This incident has increased Mr. Koo's political prestige. Nevertheless un is showing that he has a firm hold on the government for the first time since his election. He has held the. cabinet together by declin- ing to accept the resigaations of min- isters and insisting that they con- tinue in .their jobs or be disgraced. Kun's unexpected, stand, accord- ing to the Chinese Hersld, is & surprise. Possibly, however, it indication tlat the reunmclllu"l o! China is not far distant. .. Overtures for Place. Tsdo Kun relies upon Gen. Wu Pei- fu to control China in & military way while he looks after the administra- tion of the government in Peking. He is already making overtures of peace to Gen. Chang Tso-lin. The re- calcitrant provinces in southwestern China _are not deemed of importance in Peking while Gen. Wu Pei-fu looks after them. particularly in case Dr. Sun Yat-suu's illness should prove fatal. That would leave the south- west leaderless, The troubles between Yunnan and preat Szachuan Provinces, it is believed, can be quieted easily. The Chihli party leaders are- already so confident of the subjection of the south that they are making important official ap- pointments in provinces that have hitherto defied the Peking goverp- ment.

Franklin €865 Read What This Famous Scientist Says about Coffee Professor SAMUEL C. PRESCOTT, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, after threeyears’ scientific research says Coffee gives comfort and inspira- tion and is the servant of civilization “It MAY be stated that after weighing the evidence, a dispassionate evaluation of the data so compre- hensively surveyed has led to no alarming conclu- sions that Coffee is an injurious beverage for the great majority of adults, but, on the contrary, that the history of human experience, as well as the results of scientific experimentation, point to the fact that Coffee is a beverage which, properly prepared and rightly used, gives comfort and in- augments mental and physical activity, and may be regarded as the servant rather than the destroyer of civilization.” This statement, coming from such an unquestioned scientific authority, will be a source of satisfaction and relief to every true lover of Coffee and estab- lishes the fact that Coffee is a wholesome drink for the overwhelming majority of adults. spiration, Eastman Kodaks,.
