CHANG TAKES DICTATORSHIP AT CEREMONY Authority Held in Fact Long Before Formal Assumption. BY RANDALL GOULD United Frees Staff Correspondent PEKIN, Aug. 18.—'“Generalissimo” Chang Tso-lin, having swallowed the Pekin political canary, feet and feathers, after long dallying, has announced a program of general reorganization to include both Government and Northern armies. Chang’r. change of status is more apparent than real. For several months he has operated both military and government matters from his yamen in the West City, and in taking the title of “ta yuan sui” which means “dictator” in effect, he simply makes a convenient springboard from which to hop off into more sweeping changes. Funny as Volstead In other words, he has held sufficient power previously to bring this semi-comic “election” by his subordinates, together with his ceremonial inauguration at the presidential palace on a day and hour picked by ancient soothsayers in solemn fee-fl-fo-fum congress assembled. A curious blend of the old and new, this affair; a former oandit out in gaudy raiment to enact, in the midst of a maze of machine guns and beheading swords, the form of assuming a dictatorship in a hall dedicated to republican government. Os course the American and other foreign Ministers could not lend their presence to such an affair, since to do this would imply a recognition their home governments are not prepared to authorize; but they were all very glad to drop in at the Foreign Office an hour later for a tea party at which the newly installed and much pleased generalissimo arrived, with pomp, in an American-built motor car bearing a machine gun in place of spotlight. Eliminating the melodrama, Chang’s latest move boils down to an assumption of full responsibility both civil and military. Previously he l\as had the military responsithough in less direct form, and has dominated the political siauation without having direct responsibility. Plans Reorganization The Northern armies, formerly a rather 100,.e confederation, are now to be known simply as the Ankuochun or Peace-of-the-Country Army without division into Shantung, Fengtlen !ind other forces as heretofore. The government is to be reorganized, or rather organized, into some semblance of reality. Among the ambitious projects to be undertaken by this new Chinese Mussolini are: Encouragement of industry, establishment of harmony between capital and labor, revision of the military system together with some consolidation, leveling of class distinction, re-establishment of an examination system fdF-ttie choice of officials and revision of the Cabinet. Moreover, anew Nationalist party pledged to certain of the more hrmless Southern Nationalist doctrines is to be organized With a strict proviso against the communist taint. Foreign observers in Peking regard the whole development with, for the most part, hope mingled with skepticism. Business interests in particular would like to see Chang make his move a success but fear that the latest change may prove to be form without substance.

BEGIN HERE TODAY VERA CAMERON, plain but efficient, private secretary, consents to let Jerry Macklyn, advertising manager for Peacn Bloom Cosmetics, transform her Into a beauty through the use of the company cosmetics. Sne consents only after she falls Instantly in love with a man who Ignores her. In transforming her, the beauty specialist copies a picture Jerry finds In his desk. Vera wants to be beautiful so she can spend her vacation at Lake Minnetonka and meet the man she loves, Schuyler Smythe. At Minnetonka, Schuyler and other guests mistake her for the ex-princess, Vivian Crandall, who, after a divorce In Paris, has disappeared. Vera’s attempts to convince people of her true identity fall and she puts further confession from her when she realizes Schuyler is in love with the girl he thinks she is. Thurston, the manager, asks Vera t,o notify her parents she Is at the Mlnnatonka, to avoid a scandal. She again states her true Identity. Thurston has her and Schuyler followed all that day. Vera learns Schuyler Is a small salaried secretary, a four-flusher and a fortunehunter. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXV 11-- -3 hen Vee-Vee Cameron had VX/ finished dressing for dinner vv that hectic Wednesday she surveyed her reflection in the long mirror of the closet door with complete satisfaction. “If the storm breaks tonight I shall at least be dressed in honor of the occasion. A dress like this would help ;ny girl to bear up under disaster,” she smiled. It was Jerry Macklyn, oddly enough, who had designed the costume. Big, red-headed, roughneck Jerry was the last man in the world to fit the average person’s conception of the male designer of women’s clothes. But he had insisted stubbornly that his “Galatea” should have the dress, had made a clever sketch of it, had sought out the French dressmaker who could do justice to his ideas. Her clear green eyes, glowing like jewels in their setting of coppertinted lashes, laughed with pure joy in the perfection of the picture. “I know now how Aunt Flora feels when she dresses to receive a proposal,” Vee-Vee smiled. “I want to look my very best when I tell Schulyer Smythe that his Princess Vivian is really Princess Nobody. “Then if he still wants to marry me, nothing else wilL matter—not even front page exposure.” She draped herself in the Spanish shawl which she had bought as a summer evening wrap—thick, soft white silk, heavily embroidered, deeply fringed. Beneath the tight basque of the dress was hidden Jerry’s letter, which she had never been without since she had received it and which she intended to show Schuyler Smythe when she made her confession to him. She was about to leave the room when it occurred to her that it might be wise to destroy the clippings which Jerry had sent with the letter. She had stuck them away in a drawer of her dressing table, careless of the maid’s prying eyes. But now the unpleasant thought came to her that if the storm broke that evening her room might be searched. The clippings would be a link in the chain of evidence against her, something concrete to connect her with the strangely missing Princess Vivian. She opened the drawer, searched through the litter of handkerchiefs and cosmetics and discovered that the envelope was missing. With fear-cold hands she Jerked open drawer after drawer, then flew to her desk and searched it thoroughly, but unsuccessfully. The envelope had undoubtedly been stolen. “Oh, maybe the maid threw it out,” she decided at last, impatient of her own fears. When she opened the door to leave the room, a letter which had been stuck between door and casing fluttered to her feet. She stepped back into "the room, closed the door and tore open the envelope with nervous haste. The message, on a sheet of the hotel stationery, was scrawled in pencil, the handwriting that of an uneducated person. Her eyes darted down the sheet: "Dear Princess: I know who you are and I can sell my information to parties interested. But I won’t let on if you will put a hundred dollars in an envelope and leave it under the edge of the carpet outside your door. Your* well-wisher and friend.” “Blackmail!” she w’hispered. Then she laughed, crushing the sheet of paper in her trembling fingers. “A hundred dollars! Your demands are quite modest my dear well-wisher and friend! I wonder

why I hadn’t thought of the possibility of blackmail. “Probably every servant in the hotel knows that I am supposed to be the Princess Vivian. If I attempted to bribe them all to silence as well as the more mercenary of the Minnetonka guests, I should need quite a slice of those fabulous 40 millions I’m supposed to possess. Sorry, well-wisher! I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed.” She tore the foolish letter to tiny bits and dropped them into the waste basket. Then a delicate flush of excitement burning in her cheeks she walked toward the elevators. She dined, as usual, with Schuyler Smythe, chaperoned by the watchful eyes of nearly every guest in the big dining room. They were both nervous, keyed up to the breaking point, but no one observing them, could have detected it. The man, tall, beautifully groomed in his impeccable evening clothes, with a white gardenia in his buttonhole, presented a picture of a wellbred gentleman enjoying dinner and conversation with a lady whom he admired and to whom he deferred graciously. A casual observer would have said that Vee-Vee was a beauty long accustomed to homage, and not more than superficially interested in her dinner companion. But the man was saying behind the mask of a pleasant smile: “This is hell, Vee-Vee. We’ve got to dodge this mob of self-appointed chaperons somehow. Where ean we meet —alone?” “Ignore me as much as you can after dinner and in the ballroom,” she said in a low voice, her smile arch as if she were parrying a compliment. “I shall slip away from the danc; as near 11 o’clock as possible and go to the far pier. If we find someone else already there we can take a walk along the lake shore.” “All fight,” he agreed, smiling broadly for the benefit of those who watched. After dinner Vee-Vee was immediately challenged for bridge. It made her blood boil to see Schuyler ignored, but she accepted almost eagerly. Flora Cartwright, a bridge devotee, had bullied Vee-Vee into learning the game, but she had never enjoyed it tremendously. This evening she played so badly that when- the game broke up at nine for dancing in the ballroom she owed her opponents more than S4O, a loss which meant far more to her than any of the other three players could have dreamed. Her budget for hotel expenses had not included heavy losses at bridge. In the ballroom she was easily the most sought after girl on the floor. For two long hours her supple body swayed to the rhythm of jazz music, played with mad abandon by the orchestra of six black boys. Cutting in was permitted, and sometimes she had been in four different pairs of arms before a piece was linished.

For two long hours she smiled up into eyes alight with admiration. Foq| two Interminable hours she parried compliments and questions, evaded topics of which Vivian Crandall was no doubt familiar but of which Vera Victoria Cameron knew less than nothing. She had arranged with a bellboy, by tipping him a dollar, to be paged at ten minutes to eleven. When the boy came darting through the crush of guests on the ballroom floor droning out his “Telephone for Miss Cameron! Phone for Miss Cameron!” she excused herself to her partner, darted to the chair over which she had draped her Spanish shawl, and slipped out of the door just a few steps away. Since nearly every person in the room was dancing there was no attempt made to follow her, a fac’ for which she was almost prayerfully thankful. She sped down the corridor Just outside the ballroom, gained unnoticed the stairs leading to the rear entrance of the hotel. She had not danced all evening with Schuyler, had not seen him at all since 10 o’clock, but she knew he would be waiting for her at the pier. Summer dew lay heavy on the grass, but she disregarded it, scorning the winding cement paths, as she took the shortest route to the lake. It lay before her, faintly agleam in the starlight. There was no moon to speak of—just a thin crescent of

silver hanging above the trees that rimmed the lake. The broad, hospitable bosom of the lake nursed only one canoe, faintly discernible in the dim light of the stars, but advertising its presence by a rollicking jazz sorg that the brooding peace of the night and the magic of water made beautiful. “I want to be happy,” the boy in the canoe sang lustily. “Well, you ought to be,” Vee-Vee smiled to herself. “You’re young and out on the lake with your girl, and you haven’t sickening, shameful confessions to make —or I hope you haven’t.” She hurried on, flattening herself once against a tree trunk to keep from being seen by a strolling ccuple. The very air about her seemed charged with love, sweetly heavy with it. The night was for kisses, not for confessions. She shivered at the thought, wrapped her shawl more tightly about her shoulders. “Vee-Vee?” The voice that she thought the most musical in the world called softly. Suddenly she was in his arms, her slender body held fast against his breast. As she raised her face, a little dizzy with the mere anticipation of his kiss, she told herself recklessly: “Just one kiss, I’ll have that to remember, no matter what happens.” “My princess!" He flung back his head for a moment of exultation before his lips came down upon hers. An involuntary shudder ran along every nerve in her body, then she gave herself up to this moment of stolen delight, drinking in greedily the love which might be suatched away from her within a few minutes. “You do love me!” he triumphed, in a voice oddly husky. "Say ,t—----say, ‘Schuyler I love you!’ Oh beloved! Unattainable star that has fallen into my arms!” “Shall I say all that?” she surprised herself by giggling. “No, wait! Don't kiss me again! I must talk to you first—and then—maybe —you won’t want to kiss me—again!" She dragged the words out so slowly and in so low a voice that he had to bend low to hear them. “I’ll always want you,” Schuyler said huskily. "But I can’t believe I’m lucky enough for you to want me. Let me talt first, Vivian, excuse, if I can irv presumption in daring to hope that you—you!—a princess and a Crandall, will stoop to me.” Vee-Vee stepped back, her clasped hands against her heart. “You talk then,” she whispered weakly. After all, her own dreadful ordeal would merely be delayed—a blessed respite during which she could hear the sound of his voice, feel, perhaps, the clasp of his warm fingers ever hers. Then, if the gods were kind, Schuyler would hear her compassionately, would rejoice that she was a nobody, like himself, not a princess who had been sold into slavery for a title. (To be Continued)

PLEAD FOR MADF.IROS Portuguese Ask Commutation of Death Sentence. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—The Portuguese government has made representations to the United States for commutation of the sentence of Celestino Madeiros, Portuguese citizen, under sentence to die at Boston at the same time as Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. H. G. Silva, Portuguese charge d’affaires here, made such personal representations to the State Department supporting a cable from the Portuguese president to President Coolidge. The cable appeal was forwarded by the department to Governor Fuller of Massachusetts. The Portuguese government holds that as capital punishment is forbidden in Portugal, execution of a Portuguese citizen here would create anti-American feeling. The State Department pointed out to Da Silva that Portuguese here are subject to American laws and without special privileges. JEWS SEEK RIGHTS World Conference in Session at Geneva.
