Staff Correspondent! Peking.—(United Press.) — tWision of the Canton Nationalist government to shift its capital to Wifehhnjf. in the heart of mid-China on the Yangtze liver, is construed by many here as the beginning of the end of Peking's ancient supremacy. i Peking has a great name, and little more. Its imperial yellow-tiled Forbidden City, its imposing temples, are symbols of a time gone by; Wuchang, unimpressive, but centrally located in the midst of China's commerce, is a token ot the coming industrial age in China. There is small doubt in the mind of any Intelligent foreign observer bore that, whether the Canton cause rises or falls in the next few months, the fundamental ideas of Chinese nationalism and of the domination of commerce over politics are bound in the long run to prevail. Chang TsoUn and all the other "warlords" are in essence but relics of a medievalism which persists id Chiba only as an anachronism which carries within itself the seenda of its own doom, it Is argued. By their very unwillingness to face any facts other-than their own selfishness these leaders cannot but fall in time, observers say. Removal of the capital is of course not essential to the welfare of tho country, but it is a logical move. By moving northward, th e Cantonese give outward token of their conquests and establish themselves in thq midst of a most important territory. Though they may and probably will take Peking by next spring, Peking stands for two things which the Cantonese dislike—imperial sway which accompanied the empire, and corrupt rule by warlords which has been chief fealure of administration of the Republic. thus far. A glance nt history shows that Peking is by no means as ancient a capital as it is popularly supposed. It has served through all of the Republic save for the actual founding at blanking and it served the Manchu Dynasty during its sway frpmAfiJl to i-’ll. But during a considerable portion of the reign of the Mings (13681614) Nanking was the capital. Befor e that Peking was only intermittantly the capital, an honor it shared with such cities as Hangchow, Kaifengfu, Nanking, Hsiant'u, Lia ana many other towns now crumbled into nothing. And now supporters of the Nationalist cause say, “In ten years Peking *■ll be a halt-forgotten provincial village.” — ~o—.

COBB, SPEAKER GAINING FAVOR Re-instatement of Two Stars And Downfall Os Ban Johnson Predicted By Clark B. Kelsey (U. P. Staff Correspondent ) Chicago, Jan. 21.—(United Press.) — Ban Johnson, president of the American league, a powerful figure in baseball for many years, seems certain to meet defeat when he encounters Commissioned K. M. Landis here today. Ty Cobh and Tris Speaker seem certain ot re-lnstatement after directors of the American league meet here Sunday and the presidents of the league on Monday. There was an oninotts ralm in the offices of Ban Johnson and of Judge Landis today. Both were preparing for the “showdown" Monday when Johnsen will claim that Speaker and Cobb were labelled “crooked" by Landis while they were “merely inefficient” and for this reason were run out of the American league. May Play In National. New York, Jan. 21. — (United Press) —Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker, two of baseball’s greatest stars, who were relieved of the management of the Detroit and Cleveland clubs for reasons that have not been made clear, will be playing again next season but in the National league, it was reported today from several good sources. In the course of next Monday's battle in Chicago between Commissioner Landis and Ban Johnson, presP dent of the American league, the reasons for their dismissal will have to be given and from the many conflicting Statements made by John'icr. it seems that the reasons an- not serious enough to keep the two stars out of baseball. Child, Kept In Cellar For 16 Years, Will Always Be A Baby, Physicians Say Memphis, Tenn. Jan. 21—(United Press)—After four years of observation and treatment, Memphis physicians have come to the conclusion that Mary Alexia, the 20 year-old “cellar baby,” will always be a 25pouud baby, helpless and her mind a blank because of her first 16 years spent aJono in a dark Mississippi cellar. Had she reveiced treatment years ago, physicians at St. Joseph’s Itosp tai said, Mary probably would have developed into a useful member of society. Instead, soon after she was born, her - parents placed her in the cellar beneath their home, fearing, they later admitted, the ridicule of their, neighbors over the deformed infant. The parefit.s, who are farmers in Northern Mississippi, kept Mary in he cellar for 16 years. During the entire period the child never saw the light of day. Four years' ago, plumbers digging near the cellar, found Mary--sixteen years old, three feet tall, and weighing approximately 25 pounds. She babbled and blinked tin the light. Her eyes were glassy. Neighbors sent h«r to Memphis for hospital care. Hhe iis treated as a baby. She swallows soft cereals and milk, but according to attendant nurses, she tastes nothing. Her hair has been bobbed and is combed daily. An alcohol bath is given her every morning. Doctors declare that if she remains in her present excellent physical condition, she will live at least 20 years more but tba't at the end of that time she will be Mary Alexia, “the cellar baby." - o Get the Habit—Trade at Home, It Pays
