PEKING. A us. 1 Although Pr. Frank
J. Qoodnow, the American whose author
ity on constitutional law wss sought by
President Tuan Shl-kai In framing the
new Chinese constitution, leaves Peking
In August to become President of Johns
Hopkins university, he has agreed to
favor the Chinese president with further
advtoe whenever he may ask for It. He
Intends to return to China during the
summer vacation of 1116. but In the mean
time he has urged Tuan to engage a sub
stitute for him In this 115,000 post.
Will "tart rress Bnreaa.
Dr. Ooodnow's departure, together with
that of ,W. W. Rockhlll, who has already
left for the I'ntted State, and H. C.
Adams, who Is to leave as soon as he has
finished some special work in railway
accounting, will rob President Tuan of
th Immediate counsel of three Ameri
cans. It appears that all three have been
anxious to return to the United States.
Dr. Qoodnow has obtained his release
after little over a year's stay In Peking,
while Ma contract was for a period of
three years. Mr. Rockhlll was urged to
remain in Peking, but he accepted his
recent appointment to Tuan's service
only upon condition that he would not
have to take up his residence here. In
the United States, at a salary of 115,000,
he Is expected to act In Tuan's behalf bjr
counteracting the publicity campaign
which Sun Tat-sen and his party of rebels
Is conducting abroad, and he will also be
called upon to exercise his diplomatic ex
perience when required In behalf of the
president and the people of China.
Professor Adams, who came but here
for one year only, to Instruct the board
of communications in the unification of
railway accounts, will have completed his
work In August. It Is not believed that
that Chinese board Is yet capable of
profiting greatly by his Instruction, and,
It is feaxed that they will be unable to
continue the work successfully without
him. But Adams wishes to return to the
work from which he withdrew tempor
arily in the United States. .
Question as to Value.
The departure of these three Americans
brings up the question as. to what real
service foreign advisers have been to
Yuan Shi-kai. He has had them from
all countries Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Russia, Denmark, Sweden and
Japan, on almost every subject connected
with his government on law, foreign af
fairs, military matters, education, fi
nance; and, whenever a man might be
useful but had no particular line to
recommend him, he has been made an ad
viser In general. Most of these advisers
are seldom called upon to do any serious
work. If a difficulty arises between the
Chinese government and the nation to
which one belongs, his services are llke
' ly to be employed as go-between. But as
to advice, though the Chinese often ask
it they seldom follow It. Indeed it Is
difficult for them to do so; Ideaa and
conditions are still too different In China
and those which prevail abroad. And If
the government, accepted all the advice
which It receives from Its numerous ad
visers, much of It conflicting, the omplre
might be in worse chaos than It is.
Only There for Show.
It Is understood In Peking that the
Chinese, while anxious to have men of
foreign reputation nominally in their ser
vice, desire it chiefly for what is known
as "show pidgin," show business. In
other words, effect. Futhermor, the for
eign adviser seldom receives the confi
dence of the government. He may be
called upon to give his advice on a criti
cal International matter; but, like an In
experienced woman with her lawyer, the
Chinese will confide In him only tnelr
side of the controversy. They cannot
bring themselves to "lose face" by telling
him where they have erred and there
their adversaries have the advantage of
right or might.
The case of Sir Richard Dane, an Eng
lishman, is exceptional. He Is accom
plishing Important reforms In the Salt
Gabelle, which, next to the customs. Is
the most Important tax In the country.
But he has behind him "The Quintuple
Oroub" of bankers and their legations,
the French, British, German, Russian and
Japanese. On the Salt Gabelle the recent
so-called reorganisation loan of $125,000,0
and other loans are guaranteed; and un
less the Gabelle is really reorganised there
would be serious International difficulties
growing out of the failure to repay capi
tal and Interest The Increase In the re
ceipts of the Salt Gabelle have lately been
enormous.
Discipline in British
Military School Lax
LONDON, Aug. 8 Breaches of discip
line at the British military school at
Sandhurst, which Is the West Point of
the British army, have been so numerous
lately that General Sir Charles Douglas,
chief of the Imperial general staff, who
recently Inspected the school, sharply
reminded the students that they were not
merely public school students, but officers
of th- British army. During the last
year the.e have been two expulsions and
a greater number of suspensions than
ever before.
In contrast with the strict discipline
which Is understood here to be enforced
at the American military establishment
on the Hudson, the student fun and
escapades at Sandhurst are as common
and as turbulent as at the public schools
or average American college.
The local picture palace and a theater
were recently put out of bounds at Sand
hurst on account of the rough behavior
of the students, and the most popular
hotel there has suffered the same pro
hibition. According to the newspaper!,
haxlng has been unusually frequent.
Mock funerals are sometimes awarded
to popular men when they are separated
from the Institution. One cadet was
given a funeral with full military honors,
the "corpse" driving to the station In a
cab with his riding boots hung reversed
across the charger in the shafts.
Clerical Party in
Bavaria Wins Fight
MUNCIE, 'Aug. 1 Bavaria's brelf ex
perience with nonsectarian religious In
struction has ended. Hereafter it will not
be permitted In any circumstances, ac
cording to an edict Just Issued by the
minister of education, with the approval
of . tho king. The result Is a complete
vlotory for ,the dominant Clerical party,
which from the start strongly resisted
any changes In the old order of things.
The experiment was begun some time
ago, upon the demand of Bavarian Lib
erals, by permitting nonsectarian In
struction In a limited number of sch.s
attended largely by the children of dis
senting or free-thinking parents. The
Catholics opposed the Innovation from
the first, and they were supported by an
Influential minority of representatives of
the Evangelical (Lutheran) church. In
the meeting of the upper chamber of the
kingdom at which the minister of educa
tion announced his decision to revoke
the permission for nonsectarian teaching,
the spokesman of the Clericals declared
that there could be no such thing as an
unregulated freedom of conscience. The
greatest moral danger, he declared, was
Irreligious. To require that children re
ceive religious Instruction approved by
the state was no violation of the religious
liberty guaranteed by the constitution,
even If this Instruction did not correspond
with the belief of their free-vhlnklng par
ents. Minister von Knllllng of the Depart
ment of Education raid an Investigation
of the schools vhye nonsectarian teach
ing had been permitted showed that this
Instruction was In direct conflict with the
religious and moral principles upon which
the state must Insist for its schools. Ex
perience also had taught the Impossibility
of a proper oversight of such Instruction.
There were, moreover, strong objection
to It from a pedagogic standpoint. From
all these considerations he had decided to
forbid It In all schools for the future.
Suffragists Say
Press Is Unfair
LONDON, Aug., I.-Th fact that local
and foreign newspapers are eager for
militant doings and give little or no
space to the propaganda of the law abid
ing, constitutionalist suffragists ha
caused Lady France Balfour to attack
the cress In this fashion:
"W have to fight with many beasts,"
declared Lady Frances before ths Inter
national Women's Suffrage alliance, "and
the worst of them I the press the'pre
Judlced, perfidious and peccant press."
Mrs. Chapman Catt of America, presi
dent of the alliance, added that the
American papers were not the least of
fenders. One paper, she said, announced
that Swlttedand had withdrawn the
franchise because the women refused to
use It, when In fact women have never
had a vote In that country. The Ameri
can press story that most smused the
delegates was that evidence had been
found In a raid on the militant head
quarter to show the militants received
financial support from the royal family.

Alfonso Objects to
Overcharge of Cabby
MADRID, Aug. I. On one of hi recent
visit to Blarrits, King Alphonso had to
use one of the ordinary railroad station
cabs. Arriving at hi destination, the
king asked the amount due. "Oh, . I
recognise you well." said the drtver. "For
the king of Spain it will be 10 francs (&') "
His majesty smiled, glanced at the meter
on the vehicle, and handed the driver the
sum indicated thereby, plus an ordinary
tip. Some days after Alphonso returned
to Blarrits to consult his physician. Thl
time he also made use of a cab, but with
different results. When the king Inquired
what the bill was the drtver replied:
"Tour majesty owes me nothing for this
small service which I have had the honor
to render him," whereupon the king
handed him a new 100 frano ($30) bill.
SWISS EMBROIDERY EXPORTS
TO NEW YORK DECREASING
ST. GALL, Switzerland. Aug. 1 Th
export of Swiss embroidery to the United
States) were less last June by about $200,000
than during June, IMS. This enormous re
duction Is attributed to what are called
Inquisitorial method of which France la
now complaining. Swiss firms refuse to
show their book to th American com
mission which was sent to Swltserland
by th Treasury department In Washing
ton a few months ago. Therefore, It Is
affirmed here that unreasonably high
valuation are placed upon Swiss em
broideries entering New York.
Lord Bryco Makes
Speech Every Day
I-ONDON, Aug., 1-The mantle of the
public orator has fallen on Viscount
Bryce, former ambassador to the United
States.
Lord Roseberry, lord Bryce's surceasor
In this unofficial position, has, through
lllnes. boen compelled to decline many
Invitations to speak on public occasions,
and these have been taken up by th
former ambassador to Washington, to
gether with many others. Not since the
days of Mr. Gladstone has there been
such an Indefatigable veteran as Ixrd
Bryce, and hardly a day passe that he
docs not deliver a speech, while he always
ha a book in hand, and much time must
be taken up with his correspondence with
the leader of thought In all part of the
world.
At th Fourth of July dinner of th
American aoclety he remarked that he
had lost count of the number of times
that he had spoken of President Wilson
sine hi return to England, and it
might be added that his speeches on this
subject are always euollstlo. University
lectures are weekly occurence, while
the Balkan committee, the British
academy, and speeches and addresses on
Innumerable and varied questions are
always being demanded and granted; and
then there are the session of th House
of Lord to be attended. With the ex
ception of Mr. Asqulth, he must be th
busiest man In England, and although
now It year of age he brings to each
one of the functions he attends'a fresh
ness quit Independent of age or climatic
conditions. ,
Trying the Tractors
(Continued from Page One.)
mighty power. So many have been th
mind set at work upon this problem that
th array of tractors In this class Is as
tonishing, especially when compared with
the few on th market a year and more
ago. It scarcely seems possible that there
Is any' device that ha not been tried In
the effort to secure the minimum of cost
with the maximum of power and effi
ciency. In th demonstration at Fremont there
will be een every make of machine that
ha proved Itself practical, and they will
be well worth going to see. There la a
machine steered like an automobile, but
the steering declse may be lengthened,
allowing the operator to sit at any dis
tance from the regular seat, even at the
top of the load of hay, and guide tho ma
chine. There are tractor that meet the
demand for a non-slipping wheel by lay
ing little tracks for themselves a they go.
You will look In vain for th big, smoky,
dirty steam tractor of a few years ago.
The modern Iron horse of the farm Is a
neat, brightly painted affair, and dis
dain to eat from th coal bin. Kero
sene or gasoline furnish Its motive power,
as for the more aristocratic automobile.
The tractor demonstration Is a new
Idea. Contest were once In vogue where
each tractor man entered hi machine a
In an automobile endurance test. He fol
lowed set rule a to fuel, weight, etc,
Judges were appointed to decide on the
winner and prices war awarded. These
contest usually wound up in a row; en
gineer accused each other of cheating
and the management of favoritism, "When
the contest was over, halt the crowd wr
"mad and wouldn't speak" to the other
half, and th man who wanted to know
what machine was best suited to hi needs
hadn't learned much Of anything about
the matter, because each tractor man was
too busy trying to win to pay any atten
tion to him. The ability to advertise him
self the winner meant more In advertis
ing than the sale of a machine or two.
Last September at Fremont the demon
stration Idea was) tried ovit. Each firm
Is allotted a rloe of ground and a time
for displaying Its machines. The tractors
are put through their paces like horses
at a public market. If a jrospectlva
buyer or Interested spectator want to
"see It do that again'' he Is accommodated.
Then he can get the other fellow to try
the asm thing with his tractor and de
cide for hlmvelt which suits his needs
and conditions best.
Nor Is this tractor demonstration to be
a dull show with long and tedious "waits
and drag." a the rhowmcn say. On
Monday, the opening day, there Is to be
a big tractor parade through the streets
of Fremont. Elephants and camels
lumbering along the streets with a red
coated band playing circus mi'sic may
make a good parade, but sixty giant en
gines, hissing with the breath of gas
oline, rolling majestically down the street,
with th "click and clank" of powerful
Joints, Is no slouch of a parade, and It
la one that would cause the best of boy
to play truant from school to see It.
Tea, ther will be bands, too.
Tuesday there are to be private and
puhllo demonstration In the field. There
are to be "tractor short c.virsea" or lec
ture courses In tractor farming. Ther
Is to be a dynamite demenst ration. In
which some fsnry feats are in be per
formed with dynamite at fe distances
from the crowd. .
Wednesday there la to be rror of the
same with variations. Again ineie are
to be dynamite demonstrations and trac
tor short courses.
Thursday Is Omaha and Ak-Har-Ben
day at Fremont this year, and ther will
b a big crowd of Omaha peopi present
who want to know what the firmer ar
doing. They will watch the big maihine
chug-chuggtng up and down and th
little funny fellow fussing about, but
each leaving behind a wide, deep furrow
of sweet smelling black earth. They will
stand before the geysers of dirt shot up
by the powder explosions where dyna
mite farming la explained. They will
watch th balloon ascensions, and listen
to th muslo and eat their lunche under
the tree of th parks. They will crowd
the "tractor chool" when Prof. A. H,
Gilbert of Purdue explain th worklnr
of th big machln. They will swarm
over th 800 acres of wheat tubble and
virgin prairie In th wak of th tractor
that has caught their fancy for the
moment, and all In all. they will hav a
glorlou tlm and b glad they went.
, Friday I Iowa and Dakota day. Prlvat
and public demonstration ar chduled.
Lectures ar scheduled for th day, nd
various form of entertainment. A big
banquet Is to be served the very first
evening of the how at Fremont. Th
city of Fremont I planning to entertain
th visitor royally on the streets every
morning and evening. Free vaudeville is

THE HORSE'S PRAYER
Han-

thelyric
AL'KOKA. NEH,
BUSH A CHAPMAN, Prop,
To Thee, My Master,
I Offer My Prayer
CjT Feed me, water and care for me; when the day's
work Is done, provide me with shelter, a clean, dry
bed' and a stall wide enough for me to lie down in
comfort.
Cf Talk to me; your voice often means as much to me
as the reins. Pet me sometimes, that I may serve you
the more gladly and learn to love you. Do not jerk
the reins, and do not whip me when going up hill.
Never strike, beat or kick me and if I fail to do your
bidding, see if something is not wrong with my har
ness, collar or feet.
' Cg Examine my teeth when I do not eat. I may have
an ulcerated tooth, and that is very painful. Do not
tie my head in an unnatural position, or take away
my best defense against flies and mosquitoes by cut
ting off my tail.
Cf And finally, 0 My Master, when my useful
strength is gone, do not turn me out to starve or
freeze, or sell me to some cruel owner, to be slowly
tortured and starved to death; but do thou, My Mas
ter, take my life in the kindest way and your God
will reward you here and hereafter.
Cf You will not consider me irreverent if I ask this
in the name of Him who was born in a stable. Amen.
