Y U A N IS IN AU G U R ATE D . Foreign Legations Not Represented— Imperialists Gaining. Pekin— Yuan Shi Kai was form ally inaugurated provisional president o f the Republic o f China in the presence o f a great gathering o f delegates, pro vincial envoys, m ilitary and naval offi cers and other prominent personages in the new foreign office. Many for eigners attended the ceremony, but the legations were not represented Yuan Shi Kai, who was in m ilitary uniform, read a declaration promising faithfu lly to develop the republic, observe the constitutional laws, and retire when the national assembly ap pointed a permanent president. The affair was solemn— almost pathetic— and typical o f China’s transition. Most o f those attending were at tired either in uniforms or European dress. The only touch o f Orientalism was the presentation o f the scarfs to Yuan by two yellow-robed llamas. A report has reached Pekin that Tung Kwang, the famous pifes on the borders o f Shensi and Honan pro vinces, has been captured by General Sheng Yuan, governor o f the province o f Shensi, before whom, i f the report is correct, the provinces o f Honan and Chili are now open country The report says that 1,000 republi can cavalry and infantry have desert ed to the imperialists under Sheng Yuan and that a large part o f the republican army in the North iB show ing strong symptoms o f reaction and may be affected seriously.

Germany Would Buy Colombian Ports on Atlantic, Defying Monroe Doctrine of U. S. AMUNDSEN’S SOUTH POLE EXPEDITION SUCCESSFUL OFFICIAL DIRECTORY London— Analyzing the somewhat brief cable to hand, announcing Cap tain Amundsen’s attainment o f the South Pole, one, from previous ex perience, would assume that the jour ney was done with extreme rapidity and under very favorable conditions as regards the weather. Captain Amundsen has attained the geographical South Pole, the long- sought-for spot, and that finishes record-breaking so far as the ends o f the earth are concerned. Assuming that the latitude o f Amundsen’s winter quarters was 74 degrees 44 minutes, that is only 676 geographical miles from the South Pole. This place was named Bay of Whales by a form er expedition and was form erly known as Balloon Bight. I f Amundsen did 15 miles a day and reached the South Pole on Decmeber 14, he would have started south about the beginning o f November, but it more likely that he did not travel at that rate, especially for the first 100 or 200-odd miles, so we may assume that he started fo r the pole about the beginning o f October. There is no indication in the cable whether Amundsen followed the route o f other expeditions in reaching the mountains that guard the approach to the Pole. I t may be possible that he found a new route and an easier one up to the plateau which lies about 9,- 000 to 11,000 feet above sea level. CHURCHES. Philadelphia—The staff correspon dent o f the Philadelphia Press at Washington says: la the United States to be faced with the possibility o f war with Ger many for the control o f the Panama canal? Information which is causing the administration the gravest concern has brought out the fact that recent negotiations between the Kaiser government and the government o f Colombia have resulted in an agree ment which contemplates the transfer to Germany o f certain harbors on the Atlantic coast o f Colombia within striking distance o f the northern en trance to the canal. Mr. T a ft and his advisers have al ready taken steps to meet what they realize w ill, as soon as the facts are known, be regarded by the whole American people as defiance o f the Monroe doctrine by both Colombia and A P P LE B O X E S L E F T O U T .
