HMHUSA W ASBLWP3BB President Says States Will Not Guarantee Chinese or Other Foreign Loans Made by ’ American Financiers BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON. March 19.—Laying It down in unmistakable terms that the United States as a nation will not in terfere, even remotely, with the internal affairs of the Chinese republic, Presi dent Wilson last night issued a state ment declining to lend official support to American participation in the “six power” loan. The statement is accepted in Wash ington as overshadowing in importance all else that has transpired at the White House since President Wilson’s inauguration. It has provoked end less comment among statesmen and diplomats and its deep international conjecturing what the president’s atti tude will have on the other powers that are parties to the $125,000,000 loan. The president’s statement is admit tedly a document of rare composition and is bound to take an important place as a state paper. In this connection there is guess work whether it was the work of- Mr. Wilson, himself, or of Secretary of State Bryan. It is under- Heretofore, while presidents have been consulted always by their premiers, such announcements have usually come from the secretary of state’s office. Mr. Wilson’s open and active participa tion in this matter has lent additional strength to the document. The statement in full. Is as follows: “We are informed that at the re quest of the last administration a cer tain group of American bankers under took to participate in the loan now de sired by the government of China (ap proximately $125,000,000.) “Our government wished American bankers to participate along with the bankers of other nations Decause it de sired that the good will of the United States toward China should be exhibited in this practical way that American capital should have access to that great country, and that the United States The Joy Of Coming Motherhood A Wonderful Remedy That is a.Natural Aid and Relieves the Tension. Mother’s Friend, a famous external rem edy, is the only one known that is able to reach all the different parts involved. It is a penetrating application after the for mula of a noted family doctor, and lubri cates every muscle, nerve, tissue or tendon affected. It goes directly to the strained portions and gently but surely relieves all tendency to soreness or strain. By its daily use there will be no pain, no distress, no nausea, no danger of laceration or other accident, and the period will be one of supreme comfort and joyful anticipation should be in a position to share with the other powers any political respon sibility that might be associated with the development of the foreign rela tions of China in connection with her industries and commercial enterprises. “The present administration has been asked by this group of bankers whether it would also request them to participate in tbe loan. The represen tatives of the bankers through whom the administration was approached de clared that they would continue to see* their share of the loan under the pro posed agreements only if expressly re quested to do so by the government. The administration has declined to make such request because it did hot approve the conditions of the loan or the implications of responsibility on its own part, which it was plainly told would be involved in the request. “The conditions of the loan seem to us to touch very nearly the adminis trative independence of China itself, stood that it was the joint product of the two minds. The essence of the administration’s attitude is stated In the following sentence: “The responsibility on the part of our government implied -in the encourage ment of a loan thus secured and ad ministered (through control of Chinese taxes by foreign agents) is plain enough and is obnoxious to the prin cipal upon which the government of our people rests.” . The consensus as. crystallized today, is that* the president’s stand will be sustained, though it is conceded that it will arouse the wrath of Wall street and the adherents of that diplomacy, which is branded as “dollar” or “Mor gan diplomacy.” The president’s principal objection goes to the very fountain head of the causes that led the revolt of the thir teen original colonies against Great Britain’s imposition of taxes. Another element that adds interest to the situation is the fact that the state ment came not from the secretary of he state, acocrding to old established custom, but from the president himself, and this administration does not feel that it ought, even by implication, to be a party to these conditions. The responsibility on its part which would be implied in requesting the bankers to undertake the loan might conceivably go to the length in some unhappy con tingency of forcible interference in the financial and even the political affairs of that great oriental state just now awakening to a consciousness of its power and of its obligations to its people. “The conditions include not only the pledging of particular taxes, some of them antiquated and burdensome, to secure the loan, but also the administra tion of those taxes by foreign agents. The responsibility on the part of our government implied in the encourage ment of a loan thus secured and ad ministered is plain enough and is ob noxious to the principles upon which the government of our people rests. “The government of the United States is not only willing but earnest ly desirous of aiding the great Chinese people in every way that is consistent with their untrammeled development and its own immemorial principles. The awakening of the people of China to a consciousness of their possibilities under free government is the most sig nificant, if not the most momentous, event of our generation. With this movement and aspiration the Ameri can people are in profound sympathy. They certainly wish to participate, and participate very generously, in opening to the Chinese, and to the use of the To all young women Mother’s Friend is * It J , . to me umriBBe, ana 10 me use ui me ferlt r(*s childbirthofaU its agonies and world, the almost untouched and per- for - dangers, dispels all the doubt and dread, all sense of fear, and thus enables the mind and body to await the greatest event in a woman’s life with untrammeled gladness.

He could not quite understand the fierce impulses of her nature. Here was a woman who had been separated * from her child for five years, a woman who made no stir to inquire after, the man she had mar ried in good faith. . . . Now she wept; he could hear sobbing plain. This weeping, Hammersho told him self, was the most degrading aspect of western life. Nothing could be ac complished with regrets, rejoicings, or tears. Tashan! Those cakes were past eating. The filthy English gas stoves were ruinous!” Bernice was talking softly to Imry now. her back to the house, but the fox-eyed little doctor followed each movement and gesture. Imry was eas ily won, he told himself, to allow this runaway mother to kites and fondle him. Children had no sense of right or wrong. And, after all, the boy had been brought up among ayahs and ccolie house servants. No one had thought fit to stiffen his baby courage with advice. Now Hammersho had known Japanese boys who would, under the circumstances and with proper tui tion, have scorned to be reconciled. Bernice came towar.d the house, lead ing Imry by the hand. Her face was set, her lips tight drawn. Dr. Ham mersho held the door for her to enter. “Imry is a good boy.” He patted the little fellow’s head affectionately. “He must go from here with me, Dr. Hammersho,” she said quietly. “W eshall never again be separated.” He looked at her - under his black brows. “My opinion must be heard in that arrangement, madame.” “Imry belongs to me, Dr. Hammer sho. No tribunal of justice will deny me that. Although,” her voice grew inexpressionably tender “I am willing to listen to you on any point concern ing his welfare.” The Japanese doctor stood rigid as bronze in the doorway, his small hands resting on his hips. Then with a shrug he beckoned toward the stairs. She followed him instinctively to a windowless corridor that led to a small room overlooking the garden. The door was shut, but the Jap doctor thrust it open quickly, silently. “Look,” he said, his black fingers in dicating something that sprawled on an old camp bed in a far corner of the room. “The pipe has not made him strong, Madame Kromer. It has sapped his forces and left him cloudy in the head.” Bernice stared with a stifled sob at the gaunt, inanimate figure on the bed, the sunken eyes, and parched skin of the once handsome sea captain. His clothes were ragged almost beyond de scription, his whole physical exterior hinted at unendurable privations and hardships. “You see, he is beyond advice or help,” the doctor went on. “I am, therefore, the only person likely to be encumbered with him—unless,” he glanced insinuatingly at Bernice. She nodded with her head to the window as one who dared not dook twice upon the figure with the slack mouth and almost lifeless hands. “You desire me to help you?” she vol unteered tremulously. He considered her in the full light of the open window, dispassionately, critically. “You have a friend named Caleret,” he said after a while, “the man who is at present engaging the attention of European scientists.” Bernice regarded him in open-eyed GREATEST iOHEY MAKING SHA1CE ^r rrone ' t ‘°’ be ” recommende<i by aH !

You shall help me to acquire some. Let us, therefore, beg-in with Caleret.” “You wish to—” “Know him, madame! That is why I came to you. Iam passionately fond of research work. To pursue my stud ies I must have friends like Caleret. You will introduce us. There should be no difficulty in that.” He lit a cigarette and stared at her over the twining smoke wreaths. % Bernice had taken Imry in her arms and was listening now to his quiet breathing, the beating of his childish heart against her own. To her Dr, Hammersho’s request seemed difficult. She could not understand his reason for meeting the French professor. The proposition was fraught with peril and some consequences to herself. Hammersho’s vpice broke upon her with reassuring insistence. “I do not ask money from you, Madame Kromer, Although my relations with Captain En- gleheart might warrant a demand on your purse. In return for attention rendered to that”—he made an impatient gesture toward the bed—“I merely ask you to introduce me personally to Cal eret. I desire to ask him one or two i questions relating to an experiment of my own in radio-therapy. His advice may save me years of fruitless labor!” Bernice was impressed by his request. She had come to his house expecting im mediate demands for money under threats of exposure. The ceremony of introducing the little Japanese doctor to Jean Caleret could be arranged without trouble. She decided, after a brief study of the situation, to grant his re quest. Her chief concern now was with Imry. What was she to do with him? She was not yet prepared to confide the story of Engleheart’s return to Fabian. Yet, sooner than separate herself from Imry she was prepared to leave Holmwooa and all that it counted for. The Japanese doctor led the way back to the front room, and with his hand on the front door addressed her briefly. \ “Have care, madame, how your af fections guide you. Think well before you leave this house with Imry. Here there is shelter for him until your mind is quite clear in regard to his future. One inopportune word and you may find yourself at war with this Kromer. I know these American husbands. They cannot endure tension. So . . .” She paused as one caressing each moment of life. To go through the town with Imry would be to risk meet ing some member of her household, or Fabian himself driving home to lunch. The Japanese doctor was right. Noth ing would be gained by a passionate display of affection toward her little son. Tomorrow, if given time, she might fix upon some private establish ment near Chiltonhurst where Imry could be sent to school. There were dozens in the vicinity. Once settled near her she could see him at all times and indulge her maternal instincts to the full. She pressed the boy tightly in her arms. “Will you stay another day with Dr. Hammersho, Imry, dear? I will come tomorrow in my car and take you near my home, where you will be happy.” The boy nodded gravely, while * the doctor sighed in evident relief. “You are wise, madame. Tomorrow I shall expect to meet Caleret. Good-by.” Bernice, with fluttering lips kissed Imry, and then, in fear lest he should call her back, hurried from the house. CHAPTER IV. The ordeal of presenting Dr. Ham mersho to Professor Caleret provesd less difficult than Bernice had imagined. The French savant appeared delighted to meet a visitor from the east. Dr. Hammersho, during the inter view, expressed a desire to visit Cal- eret’s now famous laboratory and to bo shown, if possible, the single grain of zeu which had cost ten years of un remitting labor to produce. The Jap anese doctor had contrived to smarten his appearance before meeting Bernice in the morning. He wore a frock coat of fashionable cut, while his creased pants and silk bat gave him the air of a man of fashion. Prof. Calaret although reticent concerning the methods employed in producing his new element, appeared wililng to gratify Dr. Hammersho’s curiosity. Bernice left them together and returned home in haste. The task of finding a school near Chiltonhurst for Imry was a matter requiring some tact. Her name counted for so much in the district that Imry’s stay at any of the local kindergartens would oc casion much comment. Yet she had discovered in the last few hours that life without her little son would be bleak and empty. He must be near her no matter the consequences. All the art and culture which Fabian had gathered round her could not usurp Imry’s place in her mind.' She found Fabian in the conservatory with the head gardener* inspecting a new collection of Queensland orchids. Some pots had 1 been broken in transit, a few bulbs damaged. The gardener was full of depressing explanatiohs. Bernice noted an almost sudden droop ing of Fabian’s shoulders as thsy walked across the lawn. His face had lost its usual brightness. Above all, he ap peared anxious to avoid all references to his state of health. “I think you ought to see a Harley street specialist, dear,” Bernice prompt ed, her arm linked tightly in his. “We’ve been going the pace this season, and the fiend dyspepsia will not be denied.” They sat on a little seat away from the house under a monarch oak, where the wind had scattered a tribute of white blossom over lawn and drive. “I don’t think a Harley street special ist is going to brighten me much, Berny. A little devil of some kind has taken up his ©abode here!” Fabian tapped his right side suggestively. “But . . . you never told me, dear!” “One doesn’t care to make unfounded statements, Berny. I ought to tell you that I have an appointment with Roch- warne at midday tomorrow. “Here—at the house?” “No, at Caleret’s, Anyway, there’s nothing serious to worry about. The professor, after his recent tests, believes that his half-god will drive out my lit tle devil. It’s a relief, Berny, to know that science can grapple with some of the ills of life!” His eyes had grown luminous again, color came to his cheeks. Bernice did not press him further. For months past she had detected a gradual change in his manner, the sudden passing from pleasant topics to silence and unaccoun table fits of depression. For the first time in many weeks they lunched alone. Bernice found herself watching him covertly as he • ate ana talked. Of wine he took none, content ing himself with copious draughts from the water carafe. Bernice was moved between two wheels of emotion. Fabian hated sentiment tn regard to himself and constantly evaded all mention of possible danger with the mysterious “devil” in his right side. She second wheel of thought flew round Imry in Dr. Hammersho’s house. She could not tell Fabian in his present state what she had kept secret for so long. She must wait until Rochwarne had pro claimed upon the “devil.” It came upon her now how gurrep- SAVE v —~ "W C WHOLESALE FACTORY PRICES FOR EVERYBODY- Write your name on a post card for 'CATALOfi FREE Golden Eagle and White Star Ve hicles are built throughout of the most carefully selected and tested materials, finely painited and finished, *and guar anteed for long life, service and per manent satisfaction.

In the evening a doctor pronounces sentence of death. It was precisely the same with the rich. The man might own Babylons of palaces and land, but the garnered wealth* of innumerable argo sies could not dispel the unconquerable germ. The mother and the wife transcended every thought in Bernice’s mind. To preserve both she was reads’” to suffer die. She could not believe that Fabian was in serious danger. He was not thirty. She noted his strong white hands and sinewy wrists as he turned a heavy chair to the window. The gust of red still remained in his cheeks. In face and carriage he was handsomer than ’any other man she had known. Nothing must .separate them. In a little while she might speak of Imry. Fabian was not unjust and would surely sym pathize with her, since he knew of her unhappy life with Engleheart. Fabian passed the afternoon with his head gardener, while Bernice,* accom panied by her maid, ventured out in her De Dion on a small round of visits. The first was to Miss Allingham-8 kindergarten. Miss Allingham fas fif*. ty and reminded Bernice of a benevo lent lynx. Was it a boy or a girl that her esteemed patroness wished to place in her charge, she inquired. Was the dear little one related to her emi nent patroness? If so, his coming would shed a lustre on ner select but unworthy establishment. Bernice held off like, one playing with fire, offering no information that might lead to a straight out confession of her relationship to Imry. Apart fron» the lynx visaged principal the estab lishment presented many admirable fea tures which appealed to Bernice. Spa cious grounds and airy rooms with half a score of healthy, wen dressed chil dren playing o n the lawns almost de cided her. As an afterthought, how ever, she promised to call the follow ing day. Miss Allingham was de lighted. At 4 in the afternoon Bernice re turned home. Fabian was still in the gardener’s clutches, and as she passed the conservatory window she caught a glimpse of his stooping shoulders. The gusty red had left his cheeks. He ap peared to be brooding over an orchid- covered bench, breathing at intervals lik© one in extreme pain. (Continued in Next Issue,) GOLDEN RULE CHIEF CONVICTED OF IMMORALITY AND DISMISSED Fred Kohler Is Dropped From Cleveland’s Police After 24 Years in Service-Was Chief Ten Years (Ey Associated Press.) CLEVELAND, O., March 18.—’The civil service commission last night announc ed that they had found Fred Kohler, “golden rule” chief of police, guilty of “gross immorality, conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman and conduct subversive to good order and discipline in the police department” and immedi ately discharged him from office. The charges were filed by Mayor Ba ker and the trial of the chief occupied the whole of last week. The charges involved alleged visits of Kohler to the home of Mrs. May Schearer on February 2, May 23 and June 5, 1912, in the absence of her husband. On the last named date Schearer testified in the trial that he surprised Kohler and his wife in the Schearer home. Kohler attempted to prove alibis for the first two dates and declared his mission “on the night of June 5, 1912, was an innocent one.” Schearer got a divorce from his wife in a suit in which Kohler was named. “We should add to the sentence a permit to this officer to receive a full pension to which a retired officer is entitled in view of the term and char acter of his service, but we are with out power to do so,” said the commis sion. In a statement issued last night Kohler indicated his willingness to re sign if allowed to receive his full pen- * sion of $125 a month. If discharged his pension would be $65 a month. Kohler is forty-nine years old, and has been a member of the police department for twenty-four years and chief for ten years. His policy of “golden ruling” first offenders and minor offenders has made him one of the best-known police chiefs* in the country. The title of “best chief in America” was conferred on him by Theodore Roosevelt on the occasion of one of the former president’s visits to Cleveland. The commission’s decision praises Kohler’s work as police chief, and says that “while in other cities police officers have been guilty of corruption and extortion, Frederick Kohler is a poor man.” Three years ago Kohler was tried and acquitted by the civil service commission on charges of drunkenness and personal misconduct in office. Woman’s Beauty is Based on Health RECOVERS HER REASON AFTER NINETEEN YEARS Nineteen years ago Mrs. Carrie Belk Jordan, of 23 Oliver street, lost her rea son just two weeks after her baby daughter was born. Monday, after an operation, she suddenly recovered her reason, and found her baby daughter grown, married, and the mother of two children. Mrs. Jordan can hardly believe that her baby girl is now the mother of chil dren and that she herself is a grand mother. Mrs. Jordan’s recovery is considered a remarkable feat of surgery. For nine teen years she had been without reason. The latter part of February she was operated on, but the operation was with out immediate effect. On Monday she recovered her reason without warning, and her cries of joy notified the attendants of the Red Cross hospital, on Cooper street, of her sud den recovery. Dr. W. B. Lingo per formed the operation. BRIBERY CHARGES DENIED BY SNOW CONCORD, N.

Hollis, told a legislative inves tigating committee yesterday that Snow offered to deliver five votes for Wood bury for $1,000.

But beauty lies deep er than that. It lies in health. In the majority of cases the basis of health, and the cause of sickness, can be traced to the action of the bowels. The headaches, the lassitude, the sal low skin and the lusterlass eyes are usually due to constipation. So many things that women do habitually con duce to this trouble. They do not eat carefully, they eat indigestible foods be cause the foods are served daintily and they do not exercise enough. But what ever the particular cause may be it is important that the condition should be corrected. An ideal remedy for women, and one especially suited to their delicate re quirements, is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pep sin, which thousands of women endorse highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker, 1041 West Monroe St., Chicago, testifies that she is “cured of grave stomach and bowel troubles by using Syrup Pepsin and without the aid of a doctor or any other medicine.” All the family can use Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of mothers give it to babies and children. It is also admirably suited to the re quirements of elderly people, in fact to all who by reason of age or infirmity cannot stand harsh salts, cathartics, pills or purgatives. These should al ways be avoided for at best their effect is only for that day, while a genuine remedy like Syrup Pepsin acts mildly but permanently. MBS. JENNIE SNEDEKER.
