BASE OF THE AMERICAN FLOTILA
IN BRITISH WATERS. June 20. "All
work and no play makes Sailor Jack a
dull boy," is a truism that is being kept
in mind by the officers of the American
torpedo-boat destroyers, who are doing
everything possible to encourage ath
letics among1 the men.
The most pretentious programme yet
planned for the American Jackies is a
big field day at which there will be
running races, walking contests, base
ball games and many other sports. It
will be held in an athletic park -which
is in course of construction with funds
provided by generous American busi
ness men in New York and London.
Hall Game Honor Writer.
Meanwhile baseball is the only sport
possible. A great game was played
yesterday in honor of the arrival of the
American newspaper correspondents.
A large crowd of spectators was pres
ent, composed mostly of sailors in blue
and soldiers in khaki. The game was
between picked teams and all the play
ers wore regulation uniforms which had
been brought from the United States.
It was strange to see the sailors
emerge from the ships' club like big
league players, and, stranger still,
when they marched through the streets
to watch the villagers drop whatever
they were doing to stare with amaze
ment at the players, as if their proces
sion was something akin to a circus
parade.
GlrlM Learn Slang of Game.
The scene of the game was a beau
tiful green on the cliffs back of the
town. From the diamond could be
seen the American ships at anchor.
There was no grandstand, but the
American, and British naval officers,
as well as many khaki-uniformed ones
and the curious village throng, found
the green grass a comfortable vantage
point from which to view the game.
A goodly sprinkling of girls from
the village was present. They already
have acquired a certain amount of
American baseball slang, and during
the game frequently made use of it.
Pacific Coast Pitcher Win.
The use of the names of the men or
the ships from which they came is
impossible, but it can be said that the
grays defeated the blues by a score
of In to 2.
The grays had a pitcher of some re
pute from the Pacific Coast League
whose curves the blues simply could
not solve. They would have been shut
out but for the fact that the pitcher
passed a couple of men, which, com
bined with poor support, gave the
blues their only two runs. But the
game was remarkably fast, and was;
thoroughly enjoyed by the tars and I
spectators alike.

reports that have come to headquarters
to date. Few large cities have been
heard from, but the smaller towns
have already shown amazing' results.

How's This?
Corns Lift Out
With Fingers -No Pain
Thanks to a new discovery made from
a Japanese product your foot troubles
can be quickly ended.
Ice-Mint, as this new preparation Is
called. Is said to shrivel up hard corns,
soft corns or corns between the toes so
that they can be lifted out easily with
the fingers. It's wonderful. Think of
It; only a touch or two of Ice-Mint and
real foot-joy Is yours.
There is not one bit of pain or sore
ness when applylnfr it or afterwards
and It doesn't even Irritate the skin.
If your feet are inclined to swell or
puff, or if you have cracked or bleedlna:
toes. It will draw the inflammation
right out and quickly heal the sore and
tender places. It is the real Japanese
secret of fine, healthy, little feet and
is greatly appreciated by women who
wear high heel shoes and by men who
have to stand on their feet all day.
Try it. Just ask in any drug store for
a small jar of Ice-Mint and learn for
vourself what solid foot comfort really
i&x Tbere is noUiing like it. Adv.
Ion under a great and efficient organi
zation. "I most earnestly bespeak the fullest
support for it from every man and
woman in the United States. Let each
give the utmost amount possible ac
cording to his or her ability. Let every
man serve with his body if possible and
if this is not possible, at least let him
do everything with his purse to help
the soldiers at the front and all who
suffer bodily ill because of the war."
SOUTHWEST MEKTIXC1 QUOTA
Kansas Expects to Be "Good for
Million and Half."
DENVER, Colo.. June 20. Every re
port from the southwestern states re
ceived by S. Poulterer Morris, director
of the Red Cross for this division, was
optimistic today, though those from
New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming were
meager. ,
A telegram from Kansas late today,
however, said Kansas probably "would
be good for $1,500,000" instead of the
$1,000,000 reported yesterday."
Wyoming, with an allotment of $200.
000, reported $350,000 subscribed. Utah
had sent in but one report tonight,
from Eureka, $500. The state's allot
ment Is $450,000.
The most complete reports at hand
were from Colorado, which had raised
on the face of the returns received
$497,000 of its $1,000,000 allotment. Mr.
Morris said there was no doubt the
state would reach this figure.

CRISIS III CHINA IS
LAID TO EX-PREMIER
Attempt to Usurp Legislative
and Executive Power
Causes Downfall.
PACT WITH TOKIO CHARGED
Pledges Which Would Lead to War
Without Sanction of Parliament
Declared Made President
Proves Stronger Man.
Since the following; explanation of the
Chineae political crisis was mailed from
Pekln the situation has become complicated
by the establishment , of a dictatorship by
General Chans Maun, who-haa made Presi
dent l.I.Vuan Hung virtually a prisoner.
The following Is the first detailed account
to reach this country of the causes which
led up to the disagreement between Presi
dent LI Yuan Huns; and Tuan Chi Jul, the
dismissed Premier, which developed into the
present critical situation.
PEKIN", May 24. (Correspondent of
the Associated Press.) Premier Tuan
Chi Jui's dismissal marked one of the
most dangerous periods of the history
of the Chinese republic and showed
President LI Yuan Hung to be the
strongest man in China and the idol
of the progressive element, which is
battling for a. thoroughly constitutional
government in China.
Domestic politics and international
politics were strangely complicated in
the clash between Premier Tuan Chi Jui
andi the President, which finally re
sulted in the overthrow of the Premier.
Tuan Chi Jui had the support of the
majority of the provincial military
governors and attempted to prove that
his differences with the President were
largely due to the President's un
willingness to have China make war
on Germany. But beneath President LI
Yuan. Hung's opposition to a declara
tion of war under the conditions de
sired by Tuan Shi Jui were many deep
seated reasons which the silent Presi
dent did not discuss.
Premier Summons Governor.
Tuan Chi Jul. while unquestionably
a democrat, is typical of the old mili
tary regime, and had little patience
with any delay on the part of Parlia
ment. He summoned the provincial
military governors to Pekin to assist
him in forcing war upon Parliament
and therein worked his own downfall.
The mob demonstration against Par
liament on the night of May 10 marked
the end of Tuan Chi Jui's power. He
attempted to dodge the responsibility
for the attack made upon Parliament,
but his denials were not convincing.
President Li Yuan Hung insisted that
Parliament should not be coerced.
When the military governors demanded
that he should dissolve Parliament, he
firmly replied that no such power was
vested in him under the Chinese pro
visional constitution, and stood firm.
The lower House of Parliament voted
to take no action whatever on the war
issue while the old Cabinet was in pow
er. That vote marked a sharp issue
between the premier and Parliament.
Military power was directly arraigned
against parliamentary authority. '
President Remain Firm j
Rumors of riots and military demon
strations were widely circulated and
timid Chinese were much alarmed.
But Li Yuan Hung remained firm. He
took the ground that the constitution
must be preserved. Opportunity was
given Premier Tuan Chi Jui to resign.
Charges were widely printed that he
had entered into an agreement with
Japanese financiers to finance reor
ganization of the Chinese army and
the Chinese arsenals upon Japanese di
rection. The premier denied these
charges. He ordered the editor of the
leading opposition paper thrown into
jail. But all the denials of the pre
mier did not persuade the Chinese pub
lic that the charges were groundless.
Premier Tuan Chi Jul rapidly lost
ground. The military governors who
were supporting him became divided
among themselves. Finally they fled
from Pekin in confusion.
Opportunity was again given Premier
Tuan Chi Jui to resign but he refused
and was finally dismissed. He left
immediately for Tien Tsin, and Dr. Wu
Ting Fang, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, took over Ms portfolio.
Premier Tuan Chi Jul power ac
tually began to wane early in March,
when the opposition papers charged
him with an effort to have China
tn-eak off diplomatic relations with
Germany under a secret agreement
with Japan, pledging China to align
itself later with the allies under con
ditions favorable to the maintenance
of Japan's claims of the rights of spe
cial position as the guardian of the
allied interests in the Far East.
Charges Not Disproved
At that time Tuan Chi Jui was not
able to disprove thoroughly the
charges brought against him. He had
a break with President Li Yuan Hung,
who charged the premier with usurp
ing the power of the president and Par
liament through making pledges which
must inevitably lead to war without
having them sanctioned by Parliament
and the president.
After this clash with the president
In March, it became apparent that his
hold upon the public was weakened.
His attempts to prove that President
Li Yuan Hung was opposed to making
war on Germany and had disagreed
with him solely on that account, were
futile. It soon became apparent that
President Li Yuan Hung was battling
for constitutional government and did
not propose to have Tuan Chi Jui and
his supporters make their fight for a
declaration of' war against Germany a
screen for the effort to usurp all legis
lative and executive power.
'FIRST FAMILIES' RAPPED
IT'S TIME rOR "SECOND FAMILIES"
TO ACT, SAYS OSWALD WEST.
Ex-Governor Also Declares Chamber of
Commerce la Derelict, la Address
Before Ad Clob.
"We are following a leader who
doesn't lead," said Oswald West. ex
Governor, addressing the Portland Ad
Club at its luncheon yesterday, and re
ferring to "the First Families of Port
land." "We have looked upon the "first fam
ilies' as leaders end we have declined
to move until they moved. It's time
for the 'second families of Portland to
get into the game, to use a little initi
ative and to do something to bring
about some co-operation in behalf of
the development of the city and state."
Mr. West took the Chamber of Com
merce sharply to task for its treatment
of Tom Richardson, which he declared
was ungrateful in the extreme.
"To my mind the man who has done
the best work for this community was
Torn - Richardson and the community
let hi m die broken in purse, broken in
health and broken in heart. I think
that the treatment of Tom Richardson
by the Chamber of Commerce was
shameful."
In common with the "First Families
of Portland." Mr. West accused the
Chamber of Commerce of failing to
move in matters of importance.
"We have a Chamber of Commerce
here that is supposed to take care of
things that relate to the commercial
betterment of Portland, but it doesn't.
It has done very little constructive
work. The Arlington Club has con
trolled it: petty politics has controlled
it, and its influence has slopped over
into the other civic organizations of
the city."
Mr. West expressed his "resentment"
of the activities of T. B. Wilcox in
the movement to transfer the Great
Northern-Pacific ships to Seattle, and
characterized It as "slapping; the pap
that had nourished him."
PEKIN CRISIS MINIMIZED
JAPAX DOES NOT REGARD SITUA
TION AS SERIOUS.
Reply to America Given Court rou Rec
ognition of Sincerity of Pur
pose of Proposal.
TOKIO. June 19. The situation In
China is not so serious as might be
believed, according to the opinion un
derstood to have been expressed by the
Japanese government in its reply to
the American note Inviting to Japan
to associate herself with the action of
the United States In asking the rival
factions In China to compose their dif
ferences. The Japanese reply gives courteous
recognition of the sincerity and high
mlndedness of America's motives in
seeking to assist China, but sets forth
the belief that China is not endangerd
gravely.
Moreover, it Is said, conditions have
changed since the American note was
presented and Japan therefore submits
her belief that it Is not desirable that
she forward a note to China similar to
that sent by the United States.
STRAND ACT GOLORFDL
WVAS'OTT SISTERS OUTRIVAL BIRD
OF PARADISE.
Don and Patty Are Smral Laughs
Ahead of Audence Hattle Klrcb-
nrr Wins Audience Quickly.
Birds of Paradise and peacocks are
dull and gray compared to the Wyanott
Sisters in their act. which is one of
the features in the new bill that opened
at the Strand Theater yesterday after
noon. The brightest ragtime songs imagin
able, a dash of clever, eccentric danc
ing, and costumes that are as daring as
an army with banners, are what make
their act something to be remembered
long for its color and "pep."
Don and Patty, "the sailor and the
maid," have a line of comedy patter
that goes with simply dizzying rapidity
until the audience is kept at least half
a dozen laughs behind these two speed
merchants of mirth, all the time.
They have the "nut" style of patter,
pure nonsense that is as full of giggles
as Washington street is full of those
dinky little Chinese hats on a sunshiny
afternoon.
Hattie Kirchner, a blonde beauty,
won her audience in an Instant with
her violin act- Her repertory ranges
from classical selections to popular
sentimental and ragtime tunes, and a
potpourri of clever imitations.
The Gene De Bell Trio is a group of
mirth-making harmony singers with
all the latest wrinkles In ragtime and
close harmony.
"A Kentucky Cinderella" is the Blue
bird photodrama that completes the
bill, and It features three of the big
stars of the Bluebird concern: Ruth
Clifford. Rupert Julian and delightful
little Zoe Rae. It is a sweet little
Southern love story with an adorable
Cinderella in It, and instead of a fairy
godmother it has a big, whiskered,
gun-toting miner for a fairy godfather,
out of the placer country of California.
BUTTER MEN FACE PROBE

PEACE NEAR 111 CHINA
Two Southern Provinces Fa
vor Settlement.
NEW ELECTIONS ORDERED
Until New Parliament Meets Presi
dent JA Yuan Hung Will Con
tinue in Power Head of
Secessionists in Pekln.
WASHINGTON, June 20. Peaceful
settlement of China's internal troubles
was forecast in an official dispatch to
the Chinese Embassy from Pekin.
The message, dated today, said the
two southern provinces of Yunnan and
Kwantung. which formed the backbone
of the Southern secessionist movement,
had notified the central government
that they favor co-operation toward a
peaceful settlement and are ready to do
everything possible to clear up the sit
uation. Several other provinces are
said to be about to take similar action.
President LI Yuan Hung, who com
plied with the revolting military gov
ernors' demand for a dissolution of
Parliament, has issued another decree
calling for an Immediate new election.
The old Parliament, elected in 1913,
was held to be unrepresentative. The
new body, which cannot be convoked
within a period of several months
owing to the complicated electoral ma
chinery, is expected to be more closely
in touch with public opinion.
During the interim the present gov
ernment, it is expected, will continue in
power under President LI. General
Chang lisun, the military governor of
Anhwei province and originally head of
the seceding military governors who
came to Pekin after the President dis
solved Parliament, probably will stay
in Pekin for some time.
