SOCIAL EVIL IS THE
THEME OF “THE
LIE”
The World Film Corporation feature.
"The Dure." la based upon a play of
! the same name which had a success
ful run a year or two ago, when the
stage was reflecting public sentiment,
that was, and always must be, In re
volt against some dangerous aspects
of social life as they affect the well
being of young womanhood. The mo
ral, or the picture Is that a girl can
not be too careful in choosing her
companions.
Down at Springfield. Mass., there
was a beautiful, romantically minded
young girl at school. She was also
an heiress. Along comes a sprightly
voung blade from New York; falls In
love with the girl; and she with him.
They elope and the girl discovers that
she has run away In haste and Is left
to repent at leisure. Of course In the
end she Is happily restored to her
parents, not. however, before she has
gone through much suffering. She
worked In a department store. One
dny a woman customer offered to find
work If she (the girl) would call at
a certain address. The girl called
and went through the worst kind of
Inconveniences before she discovered
that the "work” offered her wasn’
suitable for a right minded young
woman.
There are some stirring detective
scenes and exciting chases in the
film play, which is a thrill from start
to finish. The acting Is splendid, and
the passage where a train locomotive
is used for a get-away are particu
larly striking.

PEKINO, July 6. — (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) — Pre
sident Li Yuan Hung's official man
date, announcing his assumption of
the presidency in succession to Yuan
Shi Kai, was extremely simple and
brief. It lacked the pomp and ver
bosity so common to the documents
prepared by student sof the Chinese
classics. The mandate expressed LI
Yuan Hung’s sorrow at the death of
Yuan Shi Kai, and pleaded for unani
mous support of Chinese officials and
Chinese public in solving the difficul
ties of the Chinese republic.
The full text of the mandate fol
lows: “Yuan Hung has assumed the
office of president on this the 7th day
of the sixth month. Realizing his lack
of virtue, he is extremely solicitous
lest something may miscarry. His
single aim will be to adhere strictly
to law for the consolidation of the re
public, and the moulding of the coun
try into a really constitutionally ad
ministered country. May all officials
and people act in sympathy with this
idea, and with united soul and energy
fulfill the part that is lacking in him.
This is his great hope.
“The present general situation is
exceedingly precarious. Having lust
shouldered the great burdens of the
state, I need the assistance of others
in everything pertaining to adminis
trative measures. All civil and mili
tary officials outside of Peking should
therefore remain at their posts and as
sist in solving the present troubles.
Let no man shirk his duties In the (
slightest degree.
‘The republic was the child of the
revolution of the year of Hsin Hal.

he has left this world after illness.
The whole country mourns In sorrow
at the thought of his exemplary
merits. I am particularly afflicted by
deep sorrow, as I succeed him with
the difficulties of our day. Respect
ing the funeral and Interment, the Kuo
Wu Yuan shall Instruct the officials
In charge of such matters carefully to
examine the rites and regulations both
of China and foreign countries relat
ing to the subject, and draft a suitable
program so that the sincere wish of
the Btate to give full recognition to
the merits of the departed may there

FRENCH SAYS
PARIS, July 6. — (Correspondence
Of the Associated Press.) — “Paris
now has become quite French,” de
clared a lately arrived American. “I
never heard so much French spoken
In Paris before.”
In fact, as a result of the continu
ance of war, Paris to the foreigner
seems, If It Is not so In reality, for
the first time since 1870, to be truly
and obviously Gallic, to have put off
Its harlequinade costume of cosmopoll
tanism, its glittering tinsel and garish
nighllight; and to have put on the
more simple and sober dress of an
earlier and less luxury loving age.
Paris has become, in a word, pro
vincial. chiefly owing to two causes—
the absence of the tourist and the de
cline In traffic. The city is far lestf
crowded and bustling than usual. The
diapson of all the notes In the hum of
a great city's population busy about
its rlnllv on unations Is lowered to
what Is almost a murmur; the hoot of
the busy taxi horn Is heard less fre
quently, and, the "barkers” at the
shows along the boulevards have
ceased to bark. “Want a guide, sir?”
is now never, or hardly ever, heard.
The newsboy’s yell is sternly re
pressed by the police.
The tourist element in Paris is all
but entirely wanting. Before the war,
especially at this season, tourists were
to be met with in all quarters of the
city, a very considerable portion of
them Germans; now the comparative
ly small number of strangers here are
chiefly those on business in connec
tion with war contracts, and, of course,
mostly men.
The almost total disappearance of
the private automobile is another thing
that cannot fail to strike the visitor
of today. Dublin was described by
Lady Mary Montague as the “car
drlviest city in the world." Paris,
for some few years before the war.
could with propriety be described as
the automobile-driviest city in Europe.
Besides the vast variety of cars ow ned
by Paris residents there was always
a stream of mdre or less high-powered
and luxurious tourist automobiles pass
ing through on their way to Brittany
with its well known seaside summer
resorts, to N'orntany and to Touraine
with their historic castles, or still fur
ther afield, right through the middle
of France, down to Biarritz and the
Riviera. This traffic has completely
ceased. In its stead one sees hardly
anything but slate colored motor
wagons, Red Cross automobiles, or
the ordinary taxicab. Taxicabs are
now hardly numerous enough to meet
the inhabitants' ordinary wants. This
dearth of taxicabs is intensified by
the stoppage, ever since the war be
gan, of the convenient and rapid sys
. . i . L. * .. __1 I

from all parts of Paris.
They were requisitioned immediate
ly war began, and are reported to have
lone yeoman’s service in transferring
Men and stores at and just behind
;he front.
One means of transport, however,
seems to be as popular as ever — the
’bateau-mouches” (boats as big as a
’ly), which ply along the Seine from
?harenton by the Louvre, the Place
le la Concorde, Passy and Auteuil, as
’ar as Bellevue, St. Cloud and Sures
tes. With the summer weather they
ire more crowded than in time of
peace, nor is It surprising to find it
10, as the voyage of some seven or
sight miles, much of it through pretty
scenery, costs little more than five
ients.
