COMMON SENSE IS THE MOST UNCOMMON He that as It may, it is a mat ter of considerable interest that more and more householders in Prince Hupert are using common sense in milking comparative coal tests for themselves.

CHINA'S WAR Rival Lords Try to Gain Ascendancy Throughout Country by Military Control UNION OF FORCES General Wu Pel Fu, Head of Constitutional Army Attacks Southern Forces VICTOH1A, Oct. (Canadian Press .- Will China new war prove meivly another enhde opela affair such ns Chinese soldiery alone seems Able to prodnev or will Jl bvrtime a Asl stmglile between lb doininant prtwVfs rtf the Ear East -n menace to Hie peace of the entire world? Tbe real powers In Uhina to day are the Tnchuns or military iaders each commanding armies sufficiently slhihg lo accomplish a greal deal independent of the recogni;.ed government of the country, and these Tiichens are so gien to issuing proclamations vilifying tlieir opponents and exaggerating their liwn strength and high principle that the news from Ihe wifr front may for a lime give rather a bewilder ing picture pf the situation. Not For Shanghai There is every reason lo belice that the war is not solely for con Irol of Shanghai, according to word brought here by prominent businessmen from, the Orient under tjie surface, it is said, there are far more' important considerations and whether these are allowed to come into the open and become I lie acknowledged objectives of Ihe rival leaders will depend tiuin the dexelopmVnt of Ibe combat, either as a purely local affair or a military nrael-strom of consequences sufficiently disturbing In engage the close watchfulness of the great powers which so far are not directly involved. To tSannda, which has' so much lo gain from the maintenance of peace ami imiusirial ami com mercial development In the Orient, Ibis new struggle has particular concern, and it nyy be interesting1 to know that the Chinese residents of Canada's Pacific coast who have hail op, porlunily. of following the trend of events and examining them in Hieir proper perspective believe thai a real war. involving millions of soldiers and enormous quantities of munitions, is rapidly materializing. Backed by Japan The opinion has grrtwn since Ihe announcement that Sun Yat Sen. the Cantonese leader, has decided lo enter the crisis, nnd that Chang Tso-Lin, Manrhurinn dictator who is hacked by Japan if his enemies are to lie credited, sending his troops south from Mukden to engage his old adversary, Wu Pei l'n, al present leading the Chl-Li forces. There Hre three biain spheres of influence in China today. At I'ekin there is a constitutional government, with president, premier and legislature. This is officially recognized hy lh. foreign powers. Al its head, nominally, is President Tsao Kun. Hut the rejl power in I'ekin lies Inthe hands' of Oe'neraV Wu I'ef-En. President, premier and legislature are said to be mere puppets, Tor Oeneral Wu conlrols (he eonslitiilinnal army. Again One Man At Canlon, loo, there is a con-stilulional form of government but the power there is likewise centered in one man Oeneral Sun Yat Sen, president of the Itepufilic of South China. Al Mukden, the capital of Man- 'dijiria, General Chang Tso-Lin reigns as dictator of Northern China. Earh of lhese three generals holds a varying number of pro. vinces In allegiance; and the story or China's troubles In W-cenl years is tnalnly the history oT each general's Ambition In win ! control over the whole 'country, iah ambilion arh has prn'cl Aimed r ne the Idealistic aim tif "unifying China."

Meanwhile, OenerAl Wu Iel-l'ii has watched this union of Ihe north nnd south with growing apprehension.
