The independence, however, and strength of each government depends upon its "tuchun" or governor. Some of these tuchuns have become very powerful, more so than the president of the Chinese republic.

Governor Chang in Manchuria (Manchuria is really not a province, but consists of three provinces) Chang has been a sort of tyrant more powerful than the president of the republic.

Between the two countries are located the most valuable nitrate fields of South America. It is chiefly in two districts, called Tacna and Arica. Over these nitrate fields Chile and Peru went to war that was in the early eighties. Chile won and in the Treaty of AnconThe nitrate fields were ceded to Chile with a proviso or understanding that the people ofTacna and Arica were to vote as to which country they were to be annexed to. For something like forty years this plebiscite has not been tjiken. It has been put off in true Spanish or Mexican fashion. These nitrate fields, which are a source of large income, have been the cause of disputation and annoyance for many years. Secretary Hughes invited Peru and Uhile to send representatives to Washington to see if they could not make some sort of treaty that would remove their differences. Our secretary of state, would have the representatives of these countries adjust their difficulties between themselves. If that was impossible, perhaps they "wcmTd call in a third party as a last resort and appeal to arbitration. The Chileans are shrewder and more advanced commercially than the Peruvians. The United States assumes the role of big brother and would like to have these youngsters of the western continent behave themselves. It will be surprising if their controversy does not create a lively scene in their disputes at Washington, but it is to be hoped that an amicable settlement will be reached. This may be possible, particularly as both nations have been counting the favor of the United States. It is not unlikely, however,, that t h p ' o u n ry"wh ic h loa es the nitrate fields will blame Uncle Sam for the loss. -- -- PLACE. , s 1 i Lancaster, N.

Another point Is that no character speaks. There Is no scenery. And the action does not take place on si stage. On the contrary, the stage of ths hall In which the play Is given Is occupied by the audience, who look down into the auditorium, In which the fourteen actions of the play take place. The entire performance Is not Intended to he a stage play. birt rathei a Med Ration- and an Offering. The audience make no difference. There may be many or none, present. The absence of costumes, scenery, and "dialogue demands a singular "art tosupply their place, and It is there; also a singular absorption In the thing done, and that Is there. In place of the dialogue there Is at group of singers behind curtails. One of these sings In a recitative throughout the play. He recites In a monotonous chant appropriate p'assages of Scripture as they are called for, describing the events of the Divine tragedy. . One chanter gives the words of Peter, another those of Judas Pilate or Calaphaa.-Whe- n the multitude Is supposed to speak the whole group sing, and ths chant Is harmonized. The words used by Christ are also sung by an unseen performer. But the various characters enact their aeveraCpax-t- s and Illustrate their words by their actions.. The lighting of the fourteen scenes Is amazingly skillful. In ths supreme scene of sill It fades to complete darkness till only the Crucified One Is visible through the v gloom. The Words chanted are those of the Gospels only, without addition, and they are given In English.

It Is incomparably more 1m presslve than any plsy, morear-restln- g and more moving. What one beholds Is not the skilled manipulation of machinery, for there is no machinery, but soul action, straitly restrained. There Is throughout a profoundly moving and noble reticence.
