PEKIN SEEN AS SHOWDOWN OF CHINESEFORCES Nationalist Factions, Under Truce, Are Headed for' City. This is. the fourth of Randall Gold's Hankow series, written for the United Fres3 and The Times. By RANDALL GOULD United Press Staff Correspondent HANKOW, July 9.—Pekin, rather than Wuhan or Nanking, will be the scene of any possible diplomatic "show-down” between nationalist China, and the foreign powers. Inquiry by the United Press among representatives of contending .nationalist forces along the Yangtze has made this point clear, in spite of previous reports that conquest of north China by the south would mean that in a diplomatic sense the foreign mountain must come to the Chinese Mohammet. Pekin is today unquestionably the goal both of the Wuhan nationalists and of the “Chiang Kai-shek Nationalists” at Nanking. In Shanghai it is reported that both sides in this struggle have declared tacit truce while they strive northward. Outcome Is Doubtful Pekin is now admittedly the place to which the seat of government will be moved, if or when it is wrested from the grip of the "Mukden Warlord,” Chang Tso-lin. There is the matter of which Chinese faction will win out. For some ■weeks- past there has been a pronounced tendency among Pekin diplomats to support Chang Tso-lin. Especially has this been true since the “split” in nationalist ranks. Again, suppose it be granted that the nationalist will drive Chang Tso-lin back to his home habitat in Manchuria outside the great wall, there may still be considerable confusion of mind as to which nationalists are the genuine guaranteed article. First Has Better Chance Here lies the greatest single reason or the decision to shift up to Pekin apparently. The group which can get to Pekin first will have the strongest sort of a card with which to bid for foreign support. A thoroughly unified nationalist (government might conquer Pekin and, continuing to sit at Wuhan, Nanking or even down in Canton, it might tell the foreign diplomats to deal with it on its own terms and in its own capital. But neither the Wuhan nor the Nanking groups can afford to try this now. Neither is secure, whatever may bravely be said. Each has as its slogan now, "On to Pekin!”

ft SATIRE ON MODERN LIFE TUROUOU TUI LIPS Os TUB ANCIENTS TH€ PRIVAT6 LIF€ OF H€L€N OF TROY by JOHN 6RSKIN6* IWlshed % wanqmcnl wtth .Hat National Pictures Inc..

The Characters HELEN, an ancient lady with modern ideas. MENELAOS, her husband while she stayed at home. HERMIONE. her daughter and severest critic. ORESTES, her nephew—young enough to be a reformer; old enough to have ambitions. ETEONEUS, gate-keeper by calling; philosopher bv instinct; moralist bv observation. ADRASTE. handmaiden and friend to Helen; scandal to most everybody else.. CHARITAS. the lady next door. DAMASTOR, a boy who strayed from the family doorstep. Menelaos has called Hcrmionc, his daughter, into the parlor to talk over her proposed marriage with Orestes. Menelaos was content to let Hermionc manage the affair herself; Orestes was an acceptable young man to hint. But Htlen thought otherwise; Hermionc should be told by father to go slow—at least, until she had time to look over Pyrrhus, Achilles’ son and mother's ideal of a real “he-man.” The conversation between father and daughter has switched from Hermionc herself to mother, and her frankness and beauty. Now go on with the story. Yes, ‘a devastating beauty’— that's your mother,” said Menelaos. “I suppose it's a gift. I dare say I waste time blaming her for it.” “But at least she ought to know herself better by this time,” said Hermionc. “When you’ve conceded all you can, you can’t excuse her entirely for misleading the innocent and the unsuspecting.” “Oh, come, that's a trifle strong,” said Menelaos. “She doesn't mislead you, who I suppose arc innocent, and no one who knows her seems to be unsuspecting. Every

“I suppose I must come to it,” said Menelaos. “If you’ll stay, Helen, I’ll send the invitation to Pyrrhus at once. I’ll go send the messenger now.”

one, from the family gate-keeper to the neighboring gossips, seems to hope for the worst. Besides, the curious thing is she has had her triumphs Tnost often with the sophisticated. At least they’ve been married. Paris wasn’t innocent nor unsuspecting.” “I was thinking of Adraste, that girl she's so fond of," said Hermione. “I don’t care for the type.” “What is Adraste's type?” said Menelaos. * “Oh. she has what mother would call the love of life, I suppose.” said Hermione. “In plain words, she seems to me—it isn't a nice thing to say of a girl, but I think she is rather passionate. You know what I mean—the unpleasant sensp. If there were a man around and she were in love with him, I dare say she'd say yes after almost no courtship at all.” “Any man?” asked Menelaos. “Or is there a particular one?” “Any one would do, I think.” said Hermione. “Please understand I'm not saying anything against her. In fact I don’t blame her—it's all mother’s fault. “If mother had taught her to control herself, to wait properly for love to come Into one’s life, not to be violent and unmaidenly! Bur. from some remarks Adraste has dropped in my presence, I fancy she thinks romance justifies anything, and of course I couldn't argue with her—mother’s example and all.” “Your own relation to Orestes has been a little informal, hasn’t it?” said Menelaos. “That's different,” said Hermione. “Our relation has been exceptional, but proper throughout. I hardly feel that we had any courtship, we passed so quickly to exchanging advice about the family difficulties. Os course, we’ve seen each other alone, when Eteoneus didn’t know, but you were away, and we thought of ourselves as always destined for each other.” “You’ll have to remind your mother about the destiny,” said Menelaos. “Meanwhile —coming back to Adraste—l’m glad there's no man around just now, unless you count Damastor. Helen thinks he may be making love to Adraste.” “Nonsense!” said Hermione, “his mother has told me several times he’s fond of me—rather foolish of him, you might say. but it indicates, at least, the type he admires. He’s been carefully trained, and besides, he’s only a boy. “I doubt if he would marry out of his tradition, and even if he thought of it. he,hasn’t enough force ofcharacter yet to make love to Adraste, and face his mother. “The sort of man I meant was Pyrrhus, perhaps; you might send for him after all, and marry him to Adraste. Then mother would have him in the family circle, as she desires, and I could take Orestes in peace.” “I won’t have Pyrrhus," said Menelaos. “I’ll tell her that again the moment I see her.” “Tell her now,” said Hermione; “here she comes!” CHAPTER 111 “Helen,” said Menelaos. “I tell you again, I won’t have Pyrrhus here!” “I’m glad you mentioned Pyrrhus,” said Helen; “I want to talk to Hermione about him. You've been reporting our conversation, have you?” “I've told her you wanted Pyrrhus for a son-in-law, and you suggested having him here for a visit,”} said Menelaos. “But Hermione agrees with me that it’s not safe to ask Pyrrhus here.” “Not safe?” said Helen. “Who’s going to hurt him? Guests are always safe.” “But the host isn’t, nowadays,” said Menelaos. “We've made up our blinds to practice some of your frankness. Hermione thinks with

me that, she and I wouldn’t get much out of a visit from Pyrrhus, you here, she wouldn’t see much of him. “He’d be charmed, of course— so deeply enchanted that he mightn’t notice there was such a person as your daughter—or your husband. It won’t do, Helen. You’ve come out all right so far, but from now on we’ll leave well enough alone 1 ” “This is the way you insulted me the last time we discussed this subject,” said Helen. “I told you then I would not stay with you if you repeated the offense. Now I shall go.” “Oh, come now, Helen,” said Menelaos, “I was off my guard.” “I am going,” said Helen, “and 1 ask you to let me depart with some show of dignity in your manners, without words. Adraste and I can be ready tomorrow. I have several places in mind where we shall probably be welcome. There's Idomeneus—” “Helen,” said Menelaos. “I beg of you to stay. I surrender absolutely. I admit, before Hermione, I was altogether in the wrong. I have acted unworthily, I have—•’* “Mother,” said Hermione. “if you'll stay. I’ll do what you ask about here, in this house, before I marry Orestes.” “I suppose I must come to it,” said Menelaos. “If you'll stay, Helen.. I’ll send the invitation to Pyrrhus at

once. I’ll go send the messenger now Will you stay?” “You have made a wise decision,” said Helen, “and you’d better go now and send the messenger. I promise to stay at least till Pyrrhus comes, or till Orestes comes. My own rule ought to work both ways. Hermione, if you ought to see Pyrrhus first, I certainly ought to give Orestes a chance to prove himself what you think him. “Your father is sending for Pyrrhus, but he’s a long way off and can’t arrive for some time. Meanwhile I should like to have your cousin here. Will you see to it that he comes?” “There’s nothing. I’d rather do,” said Hermione, “but I don’t know where he is. I never know. He’s hiding from Aegisthus. We’ll Just have to wait till he comes.” “Couldn’t he trust you with his secret?” said Helen. “I don’t like that at all. Well, then, we’ll have to wait till Orestes comes. I really hope it will be soon. And I want you to know, Hermione, I appreciate your willingness to do what I asked —to see Pyrrhus.” “Before I go,” said Hermione. “I'd like to find out—l'm awfully curious —who that Idomeneus was. Father got quite excited at his name.” “He was one of my suitors,” said Helen. “When I was married the old custom still held for the suitors not to appear in person, but to send gifts with the offer of their hand, and let the lady and her parents decide. Idomeneus is a very original man. He was always far ahead of his times. “He came himself with his gifts, and said that if he had the good fortune to win me, no one else should have the happiness of hearing the word of assent, and no one else should have the honor of bringing me to his home. Do, you know, Hermione, I was so inexperienced then that F thought him most crude to go against the proper rules for a sentimental marriage. “I rejected him first of all, and sent him off alone. Then I weighed the absentee suitors, conscientiously, conventionally, and as I felt, romantically, and decided on Menelaos. “Idomeneus is a strange person to this day. He has never married, j But it's because of him that I think | a girl should see all the possibilities, whether suitors or not, before she gives herself.
