In the iast analysis this is a war hetween .iiU'-rent types of sovernment, be.ween oligarchy and democracy; nid in Midi a struggle there is J.ut rne side for any real American to stand, re-Kardlexs of hirth or minor yiMpathies.

S. in Break With Germany PEKING, March 3. The cabinet Sunday decided that China should join the United States in breaking oft relations with Germany. This decision was submitted to the president who refused to approve the cabinet's action, saying such power rested entirely with him. Premier Taun Chi-Jui immediately resigned and left for Tien-Tsin, accompanied by several others of the cabinet. Tho resignation of the entire cabinet is. expected. Parliament is virtually unanimous in favor of the opinion of the cabinet. The leaders of all the political parties are adversely criticizing the president's position. The vice pretdtlent of the republic supportn the action of the cabinet. An otlicial statement issued from the president's office nays that the break between the president and the premier was due to personal differencerather than to the foreign policy. Pres't Li Yuan-Hur.g has sent representatives to Tien-Twin to induce the premier to return to Peking. According to the president's office the immediate ca ,se of the break was a dispatch Kent to the Chinese minister at Tokio, committing China to a rupture of relations with Germany and a union with the entente powers tinder certain conditions. The president refused his approval because. he eleclared, parliament must sanction all measures contemplating war as well as a direct declaration of war. Pres't Li Yuan-Hun? Justifies his position by article '. of the provisional constitution, which reads as follows: "The provisional president shall have power, with the concurrence of the national council, to declare war and conclude treaties."

THEATERS

AT THi: AUlMTOIlirM. The big pipe organ which has been installed in the Auditorium will be dedicated today, when recital.will be given at intervals during the afternoon and evening by Miss Cooke, a professional organist of Chicago. This splendid Instrument hasj been placed in the Auditorium at great expense and should prove an attractive addition to the already popular programs given in that theater. The special feature for today is a picturiztttion of Hall Caine's noted play "The Christian," with Karle Williams and Kdith Storey in the leading roles. Mr. Williams is cast as John Stornr , a sincere member of the Episcopal clergy who has devoted his life to the good of the poor in the Mum. Realizing that his flock neecid recreation, he converts the humble meeting house into a dance hall on certain nights, when those living In the neighborhood may enjoy themselves to their heart' content, but the bishop objects to the dancins and is greatly shocked, but John Storm la broadminded and says if they don't get the pleasure in the churches they will find it in other places. The piece is an exceptionally strong one and Is Faid to have been beautifully screened. Miss Storey takes the part of Glory Gayle, nn actress with whom the minister is in love, and is said to be most charming in ths part. Tin: mxi: imhaimsi:." Seats will go on sale today at the box office of the Oliver theater for the Messrs. Schubert's elaborate production of "The Rlue Paradise," the reigning musical success of the sea-son, which will be presented Wednesday matinee and night. As all discriminating playgoers are aware this latest and gayest of Yiennese operetta has had a remarkable run of ore entire year at the Casino theater. New York. Professional critics and delighted playgoers were unanimous in declaring "The Rlue Paradise" the most satisfying musical entertainment of the decade and it is proving equally as popular with all classes on tour as it was on Broadway.

to be the world' greatest photoplay; in every way it Is the biggest art weirk of any description ever created. In compirison with tho-tpc-antic structures reared by Mr. Griffith in his re? urrection of anient IJabylon. the mighty walls, tho temple .if j'el. and the porgeeuis palace of P.elshar.zar. the most imposinjr structures of New York or any other modern city seem unimportant. Unparallclle.i in battle scenes is th ferocious and thrilling attack upon Pabyn by th creat Cyrus ami his hordes of mail-clad warriors.

-ins svi:i7riii:.in is A (i()l)l PHGTO-I'LAY. The motion picture, "His Sweetheart", partly wr.tten and splendidly acted by George Peban, shown Monday at tiie Lasalle, is an excellent examidc of a good jthotojlay. The story interest is maintained throughout. The many dramatic interests are consistent and are woven with scenes of light and yhade. The . actin.: ef Mr. Peban, as tiie excitable Italian, devoted to hi.s mother, cpuick te make friends and equally sudden in his desire for vengeance, is lemarkable. Tvpical New York slum life and characters are graphically pictuied. In contrast tho home and country club life of the wealthy politician afford pleasing- relief. Sarah Kernan is splendid as the immigrant mother, the sweetheart ! of the stcry. Donald Crisp, a good screen actor himself, directed the picture and many of the pathetic and humorous touches are his.
