"Already we have provincial Assem
blies and a national assembly.
A constitution of the most en
lightened character will be adopted
and new officers of the provisional
government elected. It is imperative
that our Government be recognized et
this time in order that business may
not be subjected to prolonged stag
nation. We ask recognition that we
may enter upon new life and new ra-
larionships with the great powers.
"We ask recognition for the repub
lic because the republic is a fact.”
On receipt of this earnest appeal,
all the energies of the Hears! news
papers were brought into play to
bring about the recognition which the
new' republic justly deserved. It was
early realized that public opinion in
the United States was strongly fa
vorable to the claims of the young
republic, and a campaign was organ
ized to make this opinion effective.
Hearst Papers’ Campaign.
The campaign soon bore fruit. When
all was in readiness the Hearst pa
pers caused to be Introduced in the
House of Representatives at Wash
ington a resolution tending to hasten
official action on the part of the
United States.
Governor Sulzer of New York, who
was then chairman of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, took
charge of the resolution, which was
introduced late in December. 1911,
and so effective had been the cam
paign of the Hearst papers that on
February 26. 1912. Mr. Sulzer report- |
ed, with a unanimous recommenda
tion from the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, the following resolution.
"Resolved, by the Senate and the
House of Representatives in Congress
assembled: That the United States
of America congratulates the people
of China on their assumption of the
powers, duties and responsibilities of
self-government and expresses the
confident hope that in the adoption
and maintenance of a republican form
of government the rights, liberties
and happiness of the Chinese people
will be secure and the progress of
the country assured.” ,
This resolution, preliminary to the
final official recognition, passed the
House three days later. February 29,
1912 In the Senate, where It was
made a concurrent resolution, it was
adopted jApril 17. 1912.
Within four months of the receipt
of Mr Wu’s appeal to the Hearst pa
pers this great progress had been
made. But the Administration failed
t«- act, and there followed another
vigorous campaign, during which
time the work of perfecting the ma-
(binery of the new republic went
steadily .forward.
A new administration succeeded at
Washington, and the Hearst papers
renewed their efforts to have official
recognition accorded the new gov
ernment. Public opinion again made
Itself felt—it was seen that China
had taken a firm position among the
nations of the earth and that the new
government was established upon a j
stable basis.

ers’ Association, and during last sum
mer he gave a course of lectures on

tures on musical pedagogy and har
mony, theory, counterpoint and com
position. His own success as a com
poser will furnish both material for
instruction and inspiration to the !
young musicians who come to Brenau
from ail sections of the South.
The other members of the Brenau !
faculty remain unchanged for next
year. Mrs. T. J. Simmons and Mr.
Pfefferkorn will continue as directors
and associated with them will be the j
well-known musicians ho have ma *<? i
the conservatory famous.

NEW YORK, May 17.*—'Tom Mc
Guire. "the gamest man that ever
lived.'” according to his physicians and
friends, is undergoing an operation
lasting four weeks for the removal of
a cancer of the jaw at the New York
Skin ^nd Cancer Hospital, and be
cause of his gameness the surgeons
feel that he will recover.
The operation being performed upon
McGuire is unique in the annals of
surgery. Nine years ago McGuire’s
tongue was removed, owing to a can
cer that formed there. A portion*of
his jaw has been removed and the
growth is being treated with elec
tricity dally. When the cancer has
been entirely burned away, a portion
of the man’s arm will be grafted fn the
jaw and he will be free from the mal
ady for at least another nine years.
McGuire at one time was treasurer
Of the old Fourteenth Street Theater
and has many friends among the the
atrical profession. Robert Hilliard,
the actor, has asked all of McGuire's
friends to aid in providing him with a
private room and nurse at the hos
pital.

MALONE TO REPRESENT U. S.
AT CUBAN INAUGURATION
WASHINGTON. May 17.—Dudley
F. Malone. Third Assistant Secretary
of State, is leaving to-day for Ha
vana as the personal representative
of the President at the inauguration
of President Menocal of Cuba on
May 20.
Mrs. Willie Hudson, noted Atlanta
beauty, whose suit for divorce from
Lynn Hudson, scion of a prominent
Kentucky family, created something
of a sensation in this city, will appear
behind the footlights to support her
child following the granting of her
decree.
That was admitted Friday by Mrs.
Hudson herself, who further an
nounced that she had already paved
the way for her theatrical career by
communication with New' York man
agers, Mrs. Hudson expects to re
ceive her papers of divorce within the
next two weeks.
"I will go to New York in the au
tumn." she said in outlining her stage
career, "and begin a serious study of
things theatrical. In all probability I
will take up vaudeville work. I have
been assured by critics on the inside
of such affairs that 1 can fulfill all
expectations of managers along that
line, and I intend to do so. Nor wifi
I be discouraged by the hard work
that attends such accomplishment,
for I w ill wmrk for baby."
Despite the strain through whLn
she passed during the divorce troubles
Mrs. Hudson has changed but little. A
petite' blonde, she intends to make
costuming one of her principal assets
on the stage. She will do a series of
songs and dances.
"I am even now preparing my voice
for future use.” she said. "I will have
a limited repertoire of pretty songs,
and will make handsome costuming a
part of the effect I hope to produce."
Mrs. Hudson was married at the age
of 17 years. But a short time follow
ing the birth of their only child, a
boy, the shadow of disillusionment
came and the young couple separated.
Her husbaml had been a resident of
Atlanta for several years, owning and
conducting the Piedmont stables.
"To give up my little boy will b<s
a terrible tragedy.” Mrs. Hudson tear
fully declared. "He is so beautiful.
But it would be impossible to take
him. so he will, go to his uncle. Scott
Hudson, for whom he is named."
For theatrical purposes Mrs. Hud
son will take the name of Doloreso.

tion has become part of the social
life of childhood in Atlanta. With
each succeeding year the plans have
been made more elaborate and inter
esting, and the number of visitors has
increased until la6t year several
thousand were in attendance.
The queen is always chosen for her
beauty and charm and her attend
ants are among the most beautiful
young girls in the city.
On the occasion of the May festi

Since the May festival was estab
lished at the Wren’s Nest, four years
ago, Mrs. J. F. Purser has furnished
the little ginger cake rabbits and gin
ger cake babies, and these have been
a great source of revenue for the as-
j speiation.
' Three Maypoles will be danced
around, each having its especial col
ors of ribbons to intertwine. The
first pole dancers will be trained by
Mrs. J. S. Nichols. The second pole,

different sizes of children will be se
lected to dance at each pole.

ebilren scattering flowers in the path
of the royal train. Besides, there
will be songs and recitations appro-
j priate to the occasion.

Proof of Friendship Between the
North and South Seen in Plans
for Gettysburg Reunion.
WASHINGTON. May 17.—Perhaps
no greater proof of the close bonds
of friendship which have grown up
between the Nt^rth and the Soutn
5»ince the close of the civil war has
ever been shown than that exhibited
in the selection of Representative
James Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, to
deliver the Memorial address in the
National Cemetery at the Gettysburg
battlefield on Memorial Day .
Representative Heflin is the first
Southerner ever to have this dis-.
tinction, and in acceptance of the
graceful courtesy, replied for the en
tire South to the warm-hearted ad
vances of its former adversaries.
The invitation was extended by
the Corporal Kelly Post. In replying
to /the Southern Congressman's ac
ceptance. the post wrote that the Me
morial Day meeting will be the first
step in the greatest reunion of the
soldiers of both armies ever held—
the fifty-year celebration of the bat
tle, which will be observed in July.
Real Significance.
This only half expresses the real
significance of the invitation to the
Southern orator. In the first place,
it carries* to the whole South the
certain news 'that the old soldiers of
the Confederacy will receive a cordial
and impressive welcome when they
arrive to take part in the big cele
bration. More important, of course,
is the fact that it is a token of a
renewed fraternity* between the vet
erans of the North and South.
In casting about for an orator for
Memorial Day, the post at Gettys
burg received the suggestion that a
Southerner be invited. It was then
recalled that Mr. Heflin had spent a
week in the State during the last
campaign, speaking for the Democrat
ic ticket, lie was* well and favorablv
known, and an eloquent orator. Those
who have heard Mr. Heflin speak in
the House know that this feature
of the Memorial Day exercises will
be fully up to the addresses of pre
vious years. *
Mr. Heflin said to-day:
"I spoke a month in the campaign
last fall in the Northern States, and
I had a very warm reception every
where.
"It was in Pennsylvania that a vet
eran of the Civil War told me the
thing that ought to be done was to
s-end more Southern men through the
North to speak in publfc, and let the
North see what the South stands for.
He pointed out that this w-ould do
away with the prejudice which may
harp upon to maintain feeling in the
North against the South.
"The day for a better understand
ing—for a better feeling between th*
sections—has arrived," continued Mr.
Heflin.
Both Sides Are Happy.
"From now on, in my judgment, the
sections will try causes on their
merits. ^
"Both sides in that great war fought
for what they believed was* right, and
we are all happy in the thought that
we have a real, reunited country."
In delivering the Memorial Day
oration, Mr. Heflin will stand on the
spot on which Abraham Lincoln stood
when he delivered his Gettysburg ad
dress.
