Such numbers we regard as a neces

do they cost as soldiers? What would

ARTISTRY OF MIXED DRINKS
A Retired Naaby Discourse! Learn
edly on the Composition ol
Throat Tieklen.
"Most every man who has been
married long enough to enjoy the de
lights of housekeeping or one who
has been proprietor of a bachelor
apartment has some sort of fancy that
he excels in a particular line of cook
ing, and there are men who have the
idea that they know better how to
mix drinks than those employed be
hind bars," remarked Fred Coyne of
Chicago, who used to be postmaster
of that city.
Mr. Coyne's remark was occasioned
by overhearing a dapper young man
who had stepped lightly up to a coun
ter and directed the man behind it
how to mix a cocktail. This young
man in imperious tone had remarked
to his companions that no bartender
ever knew how properly to mix a
cocktail, and that such a drink ought
never to b estlrred, but' shaken.
There's all the difference in the world,
he explained knowingly.
"Now, I think I know how to make
a welsh rarebit about as well as any
body," said Mr. Coyne, "and when it
comes to making salads I am right
there. By the way, there's a popular
idea that 'welsh rabbit' is not correct,
but that it ought to be 'rarebit' Welsh
rabbit is a genuine slang term, de
scribing in a humorous way the spe
cial dish it is, just as 'Irish apricots'
or 'Norfolk plums' are used as con
vertible names for potatoes.
"My friend, here, continued Mr.
Coyne, turning to' a newspaper writer,
"thinks he knows how to make coffee
par excellence. Maybe so. But I can
make the best mixed drink any south
erner or northerner ever let trickle
down his throat. Maude Lillian Berri
called it an 'S. S.,' or in full, a 'Sulu
sour' If we had put an O in It, it
would certainly have described it bet
ter. Here it is:
- "It's 1 mixture of an old-fashioned
toddy, a whisky sour and a mint julep,
but you have to know how to make
it. Never mix a drink with sugar until
you have thoroughly dissolved the
sugar in water first. Well, you melt
your sugar in a toddy glass; then
squeeze a quarter of lemon into the
sugared water. Add whisky of what
ever kind you like not Scotch, of
course and then press the rind of
the lemon against the glass 10 as to
get the oil. Last take a sprig of mint,
press it, like the lemon, against the
glass, and afterward ttir the whole
concoction. There you have a S. S., or
an S. O. S., if you please. Try it."

SOLDIERS STILL UNPAID
(Corraapondoneo of The Aieoclated Frees.)
Pekin, July 21. When Li Yuan
hung, the new president, received the
foreign representatives in official
audience for the first time on June
19, Sir John Jordon, the British min
ister, who is dean of the diplomatic
corps, acted as spokesman for the
entente ministers, a fact that has
caused considerable favorable com
ment on the part of Chinese papers.
The Peking Daily News, says:
"We have much pleasure to record
that the most significant event in the
first official reception of' the new
president to the foreign representa
tives in Peking is the restoration of
Sir John Jordon, the British minister,
to his honored position as doyen of
the diplomatic co.rps of recognized
leadership. During the audience, Sir
John Jordon acted as spokesman for
the ministers of the allied powers,
which means a change of the- rela
tions of Great Britain and Japan to
wards China. The reassertion of the
diplomatic precedence by the British
minister is heartily welcomed by the
enlightened class of Chinese, who do
not like to witness the pushful and
forward action of the Japanese repre
sentative." To Call Legislature.
Four of the foreign advisers of
President Li Yuan-hang, Dr. W. W.
Willoughby and Dr. Jeremiah W.
Jenks, both Americans; Dr. George
E. Morrison, an Englishman, and Dr.
N. Ariga, a Japanese, have had many
conferences with the president since
he entered upon his new office.
These advisers have frequently sug
gested to him that it is desirable, in
their opinion, to return at once to
the Nanking provisional constitution,
the original constitution of the re
public, and call a legislative body at
die earliest possible moment
! While Li Yuan-hung is inclined
(0 act upon his advice, he is opposed
ifi this by several members of his
cabinet. Yuan Shi-kai ruled China
almost entirely by mandate. Abso
lute power was vested in him under
the to-called provisional compact,
which he enacted to replace the Nan
king provisional constitution. The
arbitrary action of Yuan Shi-kai
caused so much resentment among
progressive Chinese that many of the
Chinese advisers of LI Yuan-hung
urge he should avoid government by
mandate as far as possible and en
deavor to turn legislative power over
to an assembly or parliament.
Soldiers Unpaid.
China's empty treasury and thou
sands of unpaid soldiers are a terri
ble stumbling block to the new presi
dent in his effort to put the republic
on a peaceful and substantial footing.
Japanese financiers are striving to
make China a reorganization loan of
100 000,000 ven, or about $50,000,000
gold. Li Yuan-hung is unwilling to
accept this financial assistance from
Japan, and favors the various Ameri
can groups which are endeavoring to
underwrite reorganization loan for
China.
Were the new president to accept
Japanese assistance he would prob
ably provoke a storm of disapproval
which might result in his undoing.
The feeling is far more friendly to
wards the Americans and the negotia
tion of a loan, through American fi
nancial institutions which are consid
ering the reorganization of China's
finances would do much to allay the
general apprehension concerning pos
sible Japanese aggression in China.
Moratorium Still in Force.
Although no official reports have
been made concerning the financial
conditions of the two Chinese banks,
the Bank of Communications and the
Bank of China, they are still unable
to resume specie payment, and the
partial moratorium declared by the
Chinese government is still in force.
Efforts of the government to pre
vent the notes of the two banks fall
ing below par have been futile. Bank
notes are now hawked about at dis
counts varying from 10 to 20 per cent.
Japanese banks have bought in large
quantities of the depreciated notes and
there is a general apprehension that
Japan may make a demand for specie
payment upon these notes at face
value.

"Eternal Vigilance the Price of Lib
erty" Framed by Irish Orator
in Dublin.
"Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty."' The foregoing words have
been adapted by custom from a sen
tence in what is said to be the first
reported speech that the noted Irish
patriot, jurist and orator, John Phil
pot Curran,' ever made out of Parlia
ment, it being made in Dublin on
July 10, 1790.
The occasion was a contett for the
mayoralty of Dublin. The city gov
ernment wat then comprised of an
upper branch or chamber that con
sisted of the lord mayor and the alder
men, and a lower chamber that was
composed of the sheriffs and the com
mon councilmen. These two branches
or chamberi were vested with the au
thority of chooting the mayor. Each
chamber, however, voted teparately,
and the form of the procedure re
quired that the name of the candidate
should first come from the aldermen.
The aldermen at that time were
loyalists to the extent that they per
sisted in sending tome obnoxiout can
didate to the councilmen. At fast at
the namet of these unpopular would
be magistratei of Dublin were re
ported to the councilmen they were
rejected. Finally one of thete alder
manic candidatei, the man who led
the litt of the rejected, Alderman
James, claimed the election on the
ground that the council had assigned
no cause for withholding its support
Of his candidacy. The council mean
while had elected a candidate of itt
own, Alderman Howiton, and the two
candidatei then applied to the court!
for a decition.
Curran appeared for Howiton. The
court decided in favor of the conten
tion of James, the aldermahic candi
date. But the latter refused to avail
himself of the benefit of the decition
and resigned the office. The aldermen
thereupon sent down the name of Al
derman Howiton, and he wat chosen

CHURCH TORULE SELF
English Church, However,
Would Acknowledge State's
Power of Veto.
FOR STATS AND CHURCH
(Correapondence ot The Aeeoclated Free.)
London, July 21. Home rule for
the Church of England, in dittinction
from Mate control of the legislation
of the convocation of Canterbury, and
yet the acknowledgement of the
state's power of veto, are the chief
points in the report of the committee
appointed three years ago by the
archbishops of Canterbury and York
to consider problems of church re
form. The committee was appointed to
consider "what changes are advisable
in order to secure in the relationi
of church and state a public expres
sion of the national recognition of
religion."
The popular criticism that the
Church of England does not repre
sent the mind of the English people
it frankly admitted at a fact in the
report. The latter reflecti in other
wayl the manner in which the leaven
ing influencei of democracy have
been at work during the war.
The committee propotet that its
recommendation! shall be effected
through the establishment of a church
council, contisting of three houses
bishops, clergy and the laity. In the
house of clergy the parochial clergy
would have a majority, while for the
house of laity a tyttem of representa
tion it suggested with special meas
ures for insuring that "not lest than
5 per cent" of itt memben shall be
drawn from the working classes, and
that there shall be an infusion of uni
versity teachert and students.
Power of Bishops,
Special provitiont are recommend
ed looking to the pretervation of the
uncontrolled powert of the bishops
in regard to all matter! of doctrine
and to the end that legitlative meas
ures affecting formalittel or services
must be initiated in the house of
bishops.
As to the method in which the
ttate't control over legislation by the
church council should be exercised,
the propotal it made that every
measure pasted by the body should
be reviewed by a tpecial committee
of the privy council.
In case a measure it deemed '.0 re
quire parliamentary sanction, the
proposal it that both the measure and
the report should then be laid be
fore both houses of parliament. Be
fore the measure may be submitted
for the king't consent, it may lay
on the tablet of both houses of
parliament for forty dayt, and then
only in case no resolution recom
mending against thit courte submit
ting it to the king are patted.
' Some interesting point! are raited
in the portion of the report under
"Reservation! and Appendices,"
signed by various memben of the
committee. H. E. Kemp supplies a
memorandum on the aloofness of the
working cbttes from the church,
which he findt partially accounted
for by the conviction that "it it a
moral policeman used in the temporal
interests of the property classes"
and that "the moral teachings of the
church it againtt progress. Doug
las Eyre contidert it "estentiat for
the church frankly to claim the
power, subject to the constitutional
safeguards referred to in the report,
to make complete and effective rear
rangement! in connection with
ecclesiastical property, the condi
tion! of its tenure and also In con
nection with patronage." He adds
that the church had far better make
up itt mind before parliament
it approached, that it needt an entire
reconttruction.

Huge Coal Combine Is
Effected in England
Correapondence of The Aeeoclated Preao.)
London, July 24. The greatest coal
combine known to the United King
dom hat jutt been effected by Lord
Rhondda, better known to American!
as D. A. Thomat, the Welsh coal
magnate. He has brought into the
Cambrian combine, of which he it
managing director, between 3,500 and
4,000 acres of the richest portion of
the South Wiles coal fields belonging
to D. Davit & Sons, limited. The deal
involves the transfer of the collieries
of the Welsh Navigation Steam Coal
company, limited, acquired three
years ago by Davit & Sons for, $1,
574.250. The combine places . Lord
Rhondda at the head of an organisa
tion with a capital of $17 765.170.
Public interest has been so. much
concentrated in the war that, outside
of business and financial circles, prac
tically no interest has been taken in
the gigantic effect of the deal. It il
that the Consolidated Cambrian Com
bine controls now all of the fields
producing the renowned steam coal
which has contributed so much to
the supremacy Of the .British mer

said to constitute the life of the Brit-'

coal in the world with a higher repu

that more record runs' by ocean craft
between New York and Liverpool
have been made with this coal than
with any other.
Details of the deal are not Svail
