Peking, Aug.-(Associated Press Correspondence)-Great surprise has been caused in China by the' an nouncement that General Tuan Cbi ju!. thc minister ol war, is soon to leave President Yuan Bhl-kal's cabi net. Ile has been one of President Yuan's closets friends snd it is gen erally believed that the chief execu tive once placed the general's nam? in the golden box containing the names of the throe men from whom a successor to Yuan Sbl-kal wm be] selected. Rumor has it that General Tuan and President Yuan disagreed over matters relating to the recent de mands aJpan made upon China, but there have beeuu official explanations or statements. 'Hiere is much specu lation as to whether the retirement! of the general to a provincial posi tion also means that his name will] come out of the golden box. It is j president Yuan's policy never to dis miss a high official, but to transfer him. By thus holding influential men in the public service he disarms them. The' two other men whose names are popularly believed to have bean put into the golden box by President Yuan are General Li Yuan-heng, vice president (who baa resigned from the vice-presidency according to a cable dispatch Sept 1) and Lu Cheng hslang, minister for foreign affairs. This Bystem of designating a succ?s- j sor is a relic of the Manchu dynasty. It was adopted by President Yuan Shl kai In the new presidential election | law promulgated last year. , Under this law the president writes ] thc thre'o names of approved suc cessors upon a golden plate, after ] having canvassed the will of the pub lic carefully and decided which men arc most id favor. The plate bearing the names is placed in a golden box In a stone house in the residence of thc president. He has the only key to the golden box,' while the vice president, the secretary of state and the president .all have keys to the stone house. Presidential elections are to take1 pip ce once in ten years. Fifty mem bers of tho senate and a Klmtalr num ber from the house, all to be selected by members of the two respective i bodies, compose the electoral college. To thlB college the president submits the names of the three men of his choice and the first candidate who gets a two-th'rds vote is declared J elected. The electoral college may also vote for the re-cceltion of the incumbent I president, as well as for the three candidates he submits, if it so de sires. If the president, should re sign.or die In office, the vice-president becomes acting president and assumes charge of the golden box.

I was' born In Parla, but was taken by my parents to Ottawa, Canada, early In Ufo and I opont my girlhood In Canada. Unfortunately I was left an orphan and later, at the age of 12 years, i escaped from my guard lana and found my pelf an absolute stranger, In the great city ot New York, in the Grand Central Station, with 25 Coats In Canadian monoy ld my pocket. Through the kindly aid 1 ot a street ear conductor and a di rectory, I succeeded in locating a for mer Governess whose name I happily remembered. This kindly lady was delighted to me me and with her aid, I discovered"the residence ot an uncle, with whom.I took up my abode.

Followin g this X play 3d engagements with Wilton JLockaye and Frans Keenan, and ttion came a soasoh in clock at Pike's Opera House, m Cin ' cinnatt. Another season I played la drama opposite Henry J. K?lker.

It la not only good looks that count for auccess in motion picture work, ono must have physical endurance, a capacity for the hardest kind of la bor, and a willingness to follow the mandatos ot the Director. No matter how long an experience one may have had in dramatic work, no matter how versatile '?be artist may be, the Di rector's word In motion picture pro duction lt law. I remember ono versatile actor In the cast of "The Circular Staircase," released in five acta as a Selig Red Seal Play. Thia actor has'bad many years ot- experience in the spoken drama! 'Ho came to the screen with I knowledge ot his experience and with knowledge of; his own Importance. He was not inclined to observe the orders of the Director. The Director .selects the types, he selects the cos tames to be worn, he orders tho en trances and the. exits, and little is left to the artist. This particular actor could not understand thlsuproccdure. He had been gcustomeg to. having his own way-on the stage sad there was many a tilt before he could appreciate that movie'action moat bo done as the Director orders, for the Director ot Motion Picture production ls all responsible and all supreme. -? was delighted to be assigned the character lead aa "Aunt Ray Innis" in Mary Roberts Rinehart's great mystery story, "The Circular S tali casa." ! felt that X w?s fitted to such a part. As you will probably remember, "Aunt Ray* leases a banker's home. She ls a -woman with the courage of her own convictions, and when warned to remain away from tho summer house shs ia more resolved to remain right there. "Aunt Ray" and ber servant, are aroused at 3 a. m. by tho sound or a revolver shot. They venture forth, fibd,the men folks have disappeared, and "Aunt Ray" ia horrified to dis cover a^ .lifeless body huddled tn the dart shadows at tho foot of tho circu lar staircase from which tho five-part production takes its name. Tho ac tion starts right thea and there and fa never finished until tho final scene where the lovers are reunited. There ls a scene in which X am supposed to do battle with a myste rious stranger In a secret room which I lave discovered by means ot a tape ot asure. There ls nothing supposi tion.- about this conflict ?.ither. "Put the poppe- into this fiaii," .or dered the Director. When it wna fin ished tho unfortunate actor In tho struggle had bia shirt pvaVlly torn from his back. To all intenta sud purposes it was a real fig?t, and the actor bed difficulty rt Maninil my clutches and springing to. tho ..circu lar staircase. Then to top it 'all off, thc unfortunate Individual ned to ^luau<e neadflrst down the staircase to his supposed death, and he cer tainly had caread his money after th? day's work was concluded.
