WARSHIPS JOIN
CHINESE REBELS
REPUBLICANS HOPE THAT
THE PRESIDENT WILL STEP
DOWN AND OUT.
SHANGHAI, April 18.—Five war
ships stationed at Canton joined
the rebels recently. Supporters of
the republican form of government
here are endeavoring to bring about
the retirement of President Yuan
Shi Kai. They are desirous, how
ever, that his retirement shall be
accomplished by popular pressure
rather than by action of another
faction and are hopeful that the
United States or Great Britain will
induce him to step down in the in
terest of peace.
GERMAN PRISONERS
GIVING TROUBLE
PARIS, April 17.—I have just
been permitted to visit Belle Isle,
said an International News Service
correspondent, just returned, where
German prisoners of war are kept.
The island is twelve miles off the
coast of France and the approaches
to it are closely guarded.
Earlier in the war no restrictions
were placed upon the prisoners and
they were given ful] freedom within
the limits of the island. The result
was a great disappointment, for the
officers, although many belonged to
'aristocratic families in Germany, in
sulted the inhabitants of the is
lands. So a French colonel of cuiras
siers was placed in command of the
citadel and it took him exactly a
week to establish perfect discipline.
There are about 1,500 Germans
on the islands. The officers who
had to be placed under discipline
number about three hundred, the
flower of the German nobility, and
every one of them wears a dozen
decorations, among which is invar
iably the Iron Cross.
Not one of them deigns to speak
to any of his fellow prisoners of
less than noble rank.
Most of their time they spend at
outdoor games dressed in sporting
costumes of the most amazing col
ors, and among the French soldiers
who are guarding the island they
are known as the "parrots.”
For the return of these men the
Kaiser would undoubtedly gladly
sacrifice an entire German division
of ordinary troops. They are very
closely guarded, for many suspicious
letters have been found among their
correspondence, myqfic pinpricks
hatre been discovered in apparently
harmless books sent them from
home, and on two occasions subma
Tines have been noticed hanging
around the island, but these were
immediately driven away by French
destroyers that are constantly on
the lookout.
ENGLAND A NATION OF WOMEN
(Woman’s National Weekly.)
Previous to the European war.
Great Britain had an excess of wom
en. This disproportion is far great
er now since so many British men
have been slaughtered in the con
flict. England may become a nation
of women, operated and peopled in
an overwhelmingly feminine way.
London alone employs over 50,000
women clerks. This one occupation
has passed almost entirely into
woman’s hands.
Formerly women physicians were
frowned upon and unbelievable ob
stacles placed in the way of acquir
ing this profession. Now the de
mand for woman doctors is greater
than the supply. Even position is
open to them. Even the posts of
house physician and house surgeon
in institutions are offered to wom
en. Some of the boards of guard
ians are so pressed for doctors that
they have cast aside prejudice and
are importuning women physicians
to accept appointments. Infirmary
doctors (men) in the Whitechapel
district have heretofore received
$500 per year; now advertisements
offer the same position to Women
doctors, at a salary of $1000 per
year and emoluments.
Perhaps the most significant
chane of all has been the appoint
ment of Miss Pressley Smith to be
assistant secretary in the British le
gation at Christiania, Norway.
This is the answer Sir Edward
Grey gives to several members of
parliament who questioned his at
titude on the equal rights of wom
en. Sir Edward Grey, in appointing
a woman to the diplomatic 'service,
has silenced all critics of his sin
cerity. Miss Smith will not be
unioue in Norway, as that country
already has a woman on its di
plomatic roll.

HOW QUININE GOT __
ITS SPANISH NAME
Spaniards naively named quinine
the feverwood. It is the greatest
fever-fighter known to modem
science, and is believed to have
been discovered in South America
about 1535. It was christened Jes
uit’s bark by the ‘order, but its
earliest public use was when the
wife of the Viceroy of Peru, the
Countess Chincon, was cured of an
attack of fever by the drug.
The notoriety given to this valu
able drug through its cure of the
countess caused it to be named af
ter its distinguished patient, and
the bark was thereafter known as
the product of the cinchona tree.
This lady brought it to Europe
in 1639, and when its value became
known it brought its weight in sil
ver for a certain period.
The knowlede of its valuable
properties was spread throughout
Europe by the Jesuit Brotherhood.
Louis XIV. was cured of fever, when
Dauphin, through its administration.
Sixteen hundred and eighty saw It
in use. The cinchona plant thrives
in India, Jamaica and New Zea
land.
