Vice President, His Friend, Is
Called Man of the Hour in
Present Crisis.
HONEST REGIME IS FORESEEN
Uncensored Dispatch Says Yuan
Shih-K’ai Seems About to
Fall From Power.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Nov. 29.—Li Yuan Hung,
Vice President of the Chinese re
public, is the only statesman able
to cope with the crisis in politics
which seems about to overthrow
Yuan Shih K’ai's regime and restore
Dr. Sun Yat Sen to power.
This is what uncensored dispatches
via Mukden, in Japanese territory, de
clare.
The Vice President protests vio
lently against Yuan's plan to dis
solve Parliament.
Li Yuan and Sun Yat Sen sup
ported the President so long as he de
sired to maintain a democratic gov
ernment. and Li Yuan Hung’s ap
peal against dissolution is considered
a last effort to maintain a semblance
of a democratic government. The
next step most probably will be the
resignation of Li Yuan Hung.
Li Yuan Hung is the only man
capable of handling the situation hav
ing the respect and confidence Oa the
Chinese.
He is a native of the heart of China
and a lieutenant of Sun Yat Sen. This
would mean the return of Sun Yat
Sen and the setting up at Peking
of an honest and patriotic adminis
tration.

The film plays from the pen of Lady
Warwick have already been successful
and have brought her. as welL as the

asid that several theatrical firms are
bidding for some of her plots, which are
rather too elaborate for film production

be put on the boardH this winter.
With her work as a Journalist and a
playwright. Lady Warwick hopes to re-
habilitate the Warwick fortunes, which
have suffered heavily in the last few
years.
It will be remembered that over n
year ago Lady Warwick made a tour of

purpose of earning money, but the trip
was a failure, financially.
King George Is Owner
Of Whisky Distillery
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Nov. 29.—The world has
been surprised to discover that the
Kaiser owns a restaurant, but how
many are aware that King George Is
the possessor of a whisky distillery?
This curious possession of the
Crown is situated on the Balmoral es
tate and Is known as Lochnager. The
whisky produced there was at one time
sold in the ordinary way, hut some
years ago Queen Victoria said that all
the products were to be reserved for
the use of the Royal family and then-
respective households
* The whisky distilled at T»chnager is
said to be the finest produced in the
Kingdom In the opinion of connois
seurs. The King, however, seldom
tastes his Lochnager Scotch, but It is
the favorite drink of the Duke of Con
naught.
New Glass Defies
Suffragette Bricks
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Nov. 29.—A new bullet
proof glass has been invented which will
defy all the efforts of the militants to
break a single pane. Proof of this lies
in the fact that the new glass was tested
at the Criterion Restaurant the other
night, and amid much fun every effort
to break the windows proved a failure.
The new window is a combination of
glass glucous and xylonite welded to
gether under enormous pressure The
burglar’s diamond can not penetrat© it
any more than the stones of the suf
fragette.

| Masterpieces Recovered From An
cient Ship Sunk Centuries Ago
Off the African Coasf.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, Nov. 29.—One of the most
Important discoveries in art during
the last century was made known to
the Academy of Inscriptions recently
by M. Merline. in charge of the ex
cavation of an ancient Greek statue
of Eros, probably executed by Praxi
teles.
The discovery of the sunken ship
vva» made known in 1907, when a na
tive came back from the seaboard one
day, announcing that he had looked
down in the water and had Seen a
buried city. The queer shape lay
some 43 yards beneath the surface of
the sea.
Great piles were driven on all sides
of th? sunken wreck, and excavation
beneath the sea commenced. The
pediment of years and the ceasless
washing of the tides had covered the
treasure with a heavy deposit. As
work continued it was discovered
that the buried wreck was not a city
but a Greek ship. As near as scien
tists can calculate, it was probably
sunk in the year .86 B. C.
Carried Art Treasure*.
The boat carried a heavy load of
art treasures taken from Athens at
th? time that city was sacked, and
on their way to adorn the parks and
palaces of Rome. The ship was
probably driven far out of its way
by a gale and finally waterlogged off
the coast of Tunis.
Many of marble pieces had been
destroyed by the ravages of wave and
time. The bronze figures were pre
served for a happier fate. The briiut
of the sea seemed to have formed a
sort of coat about them, and though
some of them were battered and
broken, several valuable pieces were
taken out of the depths.
The most important of these, of
course, is the Eros, which had been
imputed to Praxiteles, creator of the*
famed Aphrodite of Cnidus, called
by many the finest in the world, of
the Eros oi Jttrsplae, of numerous
statues of sa^Fs, one of which has
been immortalized by Hawthorne In
the “Marble Faun” and of the Hermes
of Olmphia.
The piece is 52 inches high, and
when it was found in the silt at the
bottom of the sea the wings had been
dislodged and the left arm has been
torn away. It was covered with a
heavy saline deposit. The figure In
its original probably carried a bow.
Appears Work of Master.
That Praxiteles fashioned such a
figure, scientists have on the author
ity of the Rhetorlcan Callistrate.
whose description of the original
work corresponds in every detail to
the Eros Just unearthed. The hand
of a master is noticeable in every
line of the statue, and there is lit
tle reason to believe that it is other
than the work of the great sculptor
who flourished in the second golden
age of the Greeks.
M. Merline reports that the stat- 1
uettes taken from beneath the an
cient ship's hulk are more numerous
than the full-sized figures. The
satyr in bronze, thirteen Inches high,
was found in almost perfect con
dition. The metal had corroded in
some places, but not so much as to
disfigure it greatly. The face was
almost perfect.
A remarkable head of Hermes was
also discovered, upon which the ar
tist Dionysius had generally left his i
name. The bronze head of a horse j
was among the other treasures, and
two grotesque figures, one of a dan
cer. were also found.
The most perfect piece of marble I
unearthed was a bust of Aphrodite.
The base of one of the arms was ,
gone, but the face was happily dis
tinct.
Queen Mary Can't Get
Alexandra's Servants
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Nov. 29.—in consequence of
a shortage of servants, the visit of the
Grand Duke Boris and the Grand
Duchess Vladimir was postponed sev- |
eral days until the Archduke Ferdi
nand had left.
The reason is that the King pays the
wages of part of Alexandra’s servants
at Marlborough House <>n the under-1
standing that they shall be transferred
to Buckingham Palace or Windsor Cas
tle when large f?ntertainments are
given, thus effecting a considerable
economy.
I^ast week Queen Alexandra was doing
considerable entertaining herself and re
fused to lend her servants, greatly to I
the annoyance of Queen Mary.

with % pint of warm water, and stir
for 2 minutes. But 2Afc ounces of
Blnex (fifty cents’ worth) In a pint
bottle; then add the Sugar Syrup.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two
or three hours.

cough more quickly than anything
else you ever used. Usually conquers
an ordinary cough inside of 24 hours.

spasmodic croup and bronchitis. It
stimulates the appetite and is slight
ly laxative, which helps end a cough.
This makes more and better cough
syrup than you could buy ready
made for 12 50. It keeps perfectly

branes. Other preparations will not
work in this plan.

the United States and Canada that
it is often imitated. But the old.
successful mixture has never been
equalled.

tion, or money promptly refunded,
goes with this preparation. Your
druggist has Binex or will get it for
