The new system proTldes for the M«po«t1t by postal employees of one- pwentleth of their nn In rles, the de- Aonltii to hear Interest at n rate not pet determined. Where postal «av- Encs banks hsve already been es- KabllHbed they shall he nmed, and banks elsewhere will be authorized to ondertnke the handling of the ac- Iconnta.
The plan Is elastic In that It will Ibeneflt the contributor not only In Ibla old age, bnt In case of accident lOr emergency. Money mny be drawn lOut up to a certain (mint for such ex- ipensea as Illness, the marriage or ideath of a member ot one's family, etc. ISaTlnKS and accumulated Interest will |be paid In full or on Installment plan to members retiring from thw police fore*.
Before the snvlnKS system was put Unto operation It was submitted for ai>- Iproral to the offlc«'rs of the police iforces, who assembled In Peking for itbe purpose of «1l8cu88lng the mntter. 'The ministry of the Interior had their lonanimous approval of tbe plan, and It is expected tbnt offlcers of the iprovinces will also wish to adopt it-

John Mnspfield, fhe poet and >novel- Ist, thinks thill the devastating wnr In Europe hy wny of compensation will dnapirc grent Inlcllocts such n.s flour¬ ished after the Napoleonic stniggle :
"Wo Rhnll lidvt' new Darwins, Spen¬ cers nnd Carlylcs with now messiiKcs 'that will rend) ltn' wliole world. We shall have new Slwllpys In poetry. Peo¬ ple will fenst uiKiii new spiritual con- ^ceptlons ns remote ns possible from tbe Krent trnscdy. Tliny will turn to the romantic nnd fantastic, the benutl¬ ful, Jtist us tlicy (lid nfter the Nnpo- leonlc wnrs."
That Is a consummntlon devoutly to be wl.shed. Certainly In the present dearth of genius It i.s gratifying to be¬ lieve thnt the worUl lina a new Shelley nnd a new Byron In tho cradle, born at the outbreak of the war as they were born nt the outhrenk of the French irevolutlon. Perhaps there are other Dnrwin.s nnd SPencers nnd Cnrlyles to come. But considering thnt the "First Principles" wns published tn 1802, "So¬ ciology" In 1872 nnd the "Descent of IMan" In 1871, did the Crimean war nnd our own Civil wnr hnve nny pnrt In In¬ spiration? Shall we Infer that the war between the stntes .'^timulnted mld-Vic- itorlan literature while doing little to Inspire American letters?—Exchange.

"CHU CHIN CHOW "Chu Chin Ohow," enterinjr on its third year in I-ondon and seventh successful month in New York, con¬ tinues to be the reiflrnirnit attrsrtion at the Century Theatre, without pre- ceptible diminution of the patronajre, even durinjf Lent. All the disttn- (fuished visitors from abroad attend "Chu Chin Chow," whose fame they are familiar with "aver there" as well as here. Prof. I^opold Auer, the famous teacher of famou* violinists from the Petrojfrad Conservatory, at¬ tended the Century first ot all the New York th«4tres, and praised the colorful prwluc^ion of "Chu Chin <Thow" in Russian, which laajfua^e Manajrer Morris Gest speaks. Bar! Readinjf, special British amhassador, took the opportunity durinjf his brief visits to New York, to compare the Century Theatre production with Os¬ car Asche's orijfinal at His Majesty's Theatre, I^ondon; and while no ollicial announcement is possible, it is under¬ stood that the opinion of the Lord Chief Justice was very favorahle to the American production—another evidence of the entente cordiale and "Hands Across the Sea" applause.
THE GARDEN OF AiLLAH" The Arabs in "The Garden of Al¬ lah," now entering? its fourth big week at the Manhattan Opera House, arc ready to "do their bit" for the Allies, albeit they are Mohammedans. Most of theim come from Algiers and speak French as well as Arabic, while their sympathies are with the Sheyk-ul-Is- 1am instead of the Sultan and the Kaiser. As evidence of their entente cordiale they have volunteered for the American military and naval meet at M'addson Square Garden on March 15, 16 and 17, for the benefit of the Women's Overseas 'Hospitals, U. S. A., and will assist Battery F, First Field Artillery, N. Y. G., to outtrt and parade as an Oriental cam¬ el corps after the fashion of Gen. Allenby's expedition into Palestine, which recently captured Jericho. The camels from "The Garden of Allah" will be equipped with machine guns, the donkeys will pack ammunition, Ithe .\rab.'? on their handsome horses will act as scouts, while the Indian bullocks from "Chu Chin Chow" will brinp up the machine gun caissons and the armored motor c-ara and mo¬ tor bicycle platoon of the First Field Artillery complete the most unique military parade yet seen in New York York City. Battery F is making: a recruitin;^ canipai<rn, so meetings will hi' held in Columbus Circle and at the .Manhattan Opera House in West ,.^4th street after the parade down 8th avenue. The camel corps will be commanded on this occasion by Lieutenant Epan, supply ofTrccr of •the First Field Artillery.
"THE BOOK OF JOB" '.Stuart W.ilker's production of "The Book of Job," . which will be continued at a series of Lenten mSti- ness, had its initial performance on Thursday afternoon, March 7th, be¬ fore an audience that crowded the Booth Theatre to the doors. This first attempt to present a Bible story literally (Mr. Walker used the King James' version line 'for line) must be credited as one of the most impres¬ sive and brilliant achievements of the year. Some surprise waa manifested that tha Old 'Testament contained such vivid dramatic possibilitie-s. John Cerbin wrote in the Times, "What most deeply impressed yesr terday's audience was the intense drama, the vivid struggle of wills that underlies the story, and Stuart Walk¬ er arave it a richly colored and im¬ pressive stage rendering."
The Telegram said, "An event of high artistic value and engrossing in¬ terest to a packed audience which sat in rapt and approbative atten¬ tion throughout the splendid perfor¬ mance of a strangefly fascinating play."
