PAGE TWENTY FORMERLY BANDIT RULES HALF CHINA ==: Chang Tso-Lin, Millionaire, Has Accumulated Eight ' -. Ls a emerged the Manchu emperors for centu -half a world away, PEE 2 Hig Kai-Shek and Marshal La, rival Chinese war lords, who, it is reported, may forget their bitter enmity and combine against the in- vading Japanese in Shantung. Youthful General Chiang, still in his 30's, is a college graduate, the husband of a Chinese girl who was educated at Wellesley College in the United States, a man who speaks seven languages. As commander-in- chief of the Cantonese, or Nationalist forces of South China, he lives in almost simple poverty. p Former Bandit The grizzled Chang Tso-Lin, dicta- tor! of Northern China is a former bandit chieftain who'owns a string of banks, railroads, industries and news- papers and has accumulated a for- tune of many millions, despite the fact that he cannot write and barely able to read. He has eight wives and 32 children. General Chiang Kai-Shek is fre- quently referred to as "the George Washington of China," leading the nationalist forces of the south. The veteran Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, who with 'an 'iron hand in North pn gh has been called "China's Mus- 80 The war between them has found Chiang Kai-Shek leading the college-trained, educated youth of China who wish to free their coun- try: from foreign domination, abolish treaties, make the Chinese republic a 'reality and give China its place with other nations of the world. He has accepted aid from Soviet Russia, but it is claimed that he has shown the Soviets few favors. Friendly to Foreigntrs Chang Tso-Lin, the ex-bandit who is now the dictator of Northern China is friendly' to concessions granted foreign powers and is said to harbor secret desires to re-estab- lishing a monarchy with himself as emperor of all China. He rules North China from a palatial palace in Pekin with an iron hand, has ab- solute authority in dispensing con- cessions to foreigners in his domain and is a foe to the Soviets. He de- clares that the Nationalist armies of Chiang Kai-Shek are being financed and inspired by Russian Communists. Chang Tso-Lin blames China's present troubles on college-trained Chinese who have returned home af- ter being educated abroad.,, He says they are stirring up China needlessly with false ideals of indepedence and that China must continue conces- sions 03 14 Soreign nations in order to represents the old order gp nearly every respect, except that he employs airplanes, machine guns and other modern instruments of warfare. Emerging from brigandage about the time of the Russo-Japanese war Chang Tso-Lin fought in the Japan- ese army. He made such a reputa- tion 'that he became one of China's |' leading military figures. His wealth is, | and his power expanded in the turbulent days that followed the overthrow of the emperor in 1911. He is said to have favored Japanese in some of the richest con- cessions. Today his wealth is estimated at many millions. He recently gave 7, 000,000 for charity in famine districts and to pay the back salaries of thou- sands of Chinese school teachers. Cold, cunning and cruel, Chang Tso-Lin has ruled North China with an iron hand. There has never been a run on any of his banks, for the simple reason that he announced that he would cut off the head of the first man who started it. General Chiang Kai-Shek, the youthful commander of the national forces in South China, began life as a bound boy to a merchant and later enlisted in the emperor's army. He won a scholarship in a government military school made an enviable re- cord there and then went to Japan for a college education. 'When the emperor was overthrown Chiang, like many other young Chin- ese, returned to China to fight for the new republic. His bravery and daring won him rapid promotions and he rapidly ascended to power, despite his youth. . Chiang is a Buddhist but last De- cember he was married by Christian ceremony to Miss Milling Soong, a Wellesley College graduate and sister of Madame Sun Yat-Sen. He had di- vorced his first wife, marrjed by Chinese ceremony, by the simple Chinese custom of publicly announc- ing that the marriage no longer ex- isted. Attacked as having had two other wives, he replied that the lat- ter were merely concubines. Chiang Kai-Shek's victorious fore- es were chasing Chiang Tso-Lin's ar- mies northward and threatening the capture of Pekin when the Japanese intervened to restore order in Shan- tung where they have millions in- vested.

They are the invention of a Lon- don medical man who describes him- self as practically a beginner in wire- less research. With sets of such coils in a normal circuit a reporter recently heard sig- nals--telephony and Morse -- oh a wave-band ranging from 10 metres 'to 10,000, and all on the one wireless set. These signals were tuned in di- rect on a loud-speaker, and every 'one of them could be built up until the loud-speaker could. carry no more volume without distortion. The number of turns of wire in the coil varied from 3,000 to 3. The coils are the discovery of Dr. F. W. Twort, superintendent of the Brown Institu- tion (University of London). He em- ploys his special coils for reception from the broadcast wave-band as well as for lower-length signals. The coils possess a remarkable sta- bility, which removes all trace of the bugbear of "hand-capacity," and permits of signals being tuned in and amplified to what the loud-speaker will stand. The coils are selective as well as sensitive. Leipzig was heard per- fectly in Surrey, with Lendon--only five metres lower--in full blast. On the lower waves, Schenectady, United States (31 metres), had to be tamed down lest it proved a nuisance to the neighborhood. KDKA, Pitts- burgh (trimmed with atmospherics, since the night was rather a bad one for disturbances), could be made equally loud, though the quality of the transmission was not so good. The experimental low wave Trans- atlantic telephony gave up the Ame- rican half of its conversations. NO APPREHENSION IS FELT OVER DR. MANNING'S ILLNESS Vancouver, May 20.--Rev. C. E, Manning, D.D., of Toronto, Gener- al Secretary of the United church for Home Misions was taken {ll Thursday night .while attending the annual British" Columbia con- ference of the United Church here, and is now i nthe General Hospital. He is sald to be suf- eringf from a high fever, but it is thought that a week®of rest will accomplish his recovery, A report received here on Sun- day afternoon by the family of Rev. Dr, Manning wa sto the ef- feet that his condition was qujte avorable and no apprehensions were. entertained. IRISH TO HAVE «NEW COINAGE Free State Money to Dis- place--Same Value up to Half Crowns Dublin, Ireland, May 21.--A few: months hence the people of the Irish' Free State will begin to handle new coins intended to dis- place British coins in local circu- lation. The contract for. minting was given 'to the London Mint, which has submitted Dublin the first strikings and now will pro- ceed with production, beginning with silver coins. The new coins will be of the same value as British coins up to half-erowns, and no higher denom- ination will be coined at present. Provision has been made for a pro- portion of silver higher than that in British coins, in order to coun- teract any possible suspicion of the new coinage. The sixpence and the three-penny piece will be of nickel, the new three-penny piece being of the size of the British silver six- pense, but without any milling. Bronze coins also are being struck, but it will take a little longer to substitute these for the correspond- ing British coins. A committee of artists and nu- mismatic experts was formed, with Senator W. B. Yeats as chairman, to consider designs, and the rec- ommendations 'of the committee were accepted. The symbols and inscriptions were considered by the advisory committee after consulta- tion with the Society of Antiquar- jes, who, while advocating the re- tention of the Irish harp, strongly opposed the use of hackneyed sym- bols such as round towers, sun- bursts, and shamrocks. Seven se- lected artists in differenf countries, including Ireland, were invited to submit models in plaster, composi- tion, or metal, and the committee's final recommendations were unani- mous, It is stated that the new Irish half-crowns, florins and shillings will contain as much as 75 per cent of fine silver and only 25 per cent of copper alloy, compared with equal proportions in the corres- ponding British coins. The six- penny and three-penny pieces will be of pure nickel. Pennies, half- pennies and farthings will be of bronze. Emblems of Irish indus- tries, including agricultural ani- mals, appear on one side of nrany of the new coins, and the Irish harp is represented on the other, In London recently a man was knocked down by a perambulator and injured. A newspaper suggests that if no horn is provided nurse- maids should give the baby a sharp pinch at crossings. Rayon Crepe at a Great Saving Wednesday This lovely material just in.
