I
Yuan Shi Kai Has Term Ex
tended to Ten Years, and
Perhaps for Life
Shanghai, Pec. 30. The Pekin bov-
crnment'a latest order making the Chi-
aese president s term practically of life
tenure was the subject of the most in
tensely interested comment today in
various circles here.
The fixing of tho term nominally at
10 years wculd not have been regarded
of so much significance but for the
additional provision that it might be in-
uoriniteiy extended by a two-thirds
vote of the senate. Inasmuch is Presi
aeni man aoi Kai admittedly is in
omplete control of the legislative
branch of the government, this was
taken by almost everyone to mean that
ho has nci intention of relinquishine his
grip until death ends U, and that he
prouahiy will do all in his power to
puss his power on to a successor of his
own choosing.
foreign traders in China, with wtom
Yuan is popular, because they think no
one else is so well able as he to oimroxi-
maie a siame rule ot nia country, were
mostly pleased. Tho same view was
taken of tho situation in conservative
Chinese circles. Even in these ouarters.
howover, surprise was felt nt the bold
ness of tho step taken.
the republicans were not sui prised
for they have contended for some time
that the president had become r, mere
dictator, but to say that tnev were an
gry was putting it too mildly. The pre.
iictrjn was wildly mado nmoiuf them
that the new development would only
hasten the revolution which unquestion
ably has been simmering for months in
tne soiitnern provinces.
Latest accounts were to the effect
that Yuan had completely crushed the
Pekin crnspirucy to overthrow his re
gimo and pluce the former prince regent
at the head of tho government until
the deposed emperor comes of uge, and
Tiie.ii to put mm on tlx throne.
No definite news was'nvailnble, but
it was rumored that there hml been
many executions in connection with the
plot.

interest as was manifested hero today
in the cabinet session called to consider
the Washington administration 'e pro

German Prince Had Little Is

plies and a Wireless
London Pec. 15. (By mnil to New
York.) Until recently Germany actual
ly had a submarine base in tho Knglish
chnnnel on territory belonging to the
British crown. Destroyers of British
shipping received supplies under Kng
land's very nose for a time,
This fact was developed hero today In
connection with tho announcement of
the cancellation of a lease under which
the Island of Ilerm was held by Prince
Blucher, a desceiidunt of the famous
Gonernl who helped the Duke of Wel
lington to defeat .Napoleon nt Waterloo.
The London government originally
leased the Island to a Herman company
111 lHlHI nnd it was bv this company Hint
it wns turned over to the prince, who
lived the life of an eccentric recluse on
it for several years.
It wns searched after the war began
but the work was done by raw country
militiamen who, quite Innocent of mili
tary knowledge, reported thnt they
found nothing which could be used for
wnr purposes.
Afler several Gorman submarine ex
pluits In the channel n mure thorough
investigation was mnde. It revealed the'
presence on the Island of quantities of
fuel oil torpedoes and other suppli.'i,
Motorboats, it appeared, had regular
ly carried these stores and munitions
from llerm to submarines tying sonic
distance off shore. '
There wns also n wireless station, by
menus of which the princely recluse
could commuiilcnto ul will with Ger
mnil wnrshlps.
In short, llerm was an Ideal sub
marine base tucked neatly under Kng
land's wing.
Among those familiar with nil these
fuels considerable Irritation Is felt and
were It not for an Indisposition on the
politicians part, to emlinrriiss tne gov
