OUR POLICY TOWARD CHINA UNCHANGED
Nothing to Show That the Imperial Govern

ranting Declaration Of State
of War. Kempff's Prudent
Course Approved by
Administration.
Administration.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, June 30-For the first
time since the break of communication
with Tien Tsin, news came today of the
foreign Ministers there, which the Off
Gals accept as accurate. Assurances
coming from four separate sources that
the Ministers were safe, bodily at least,
up to five days ago, seem to remove all
doubt on that point, while the agree
nent of the dispatches of Admiral Kempff
of United States Consul Ragsdale at Tien
Tsin, and Minister Wu's advices to the
effect that the Ministers are still in Pekin
would seem to afford solid basis for the
acceptance of that statement.
The news Of the day. important though
it be has not yet changed the policy of
is nothing to show that the Imperial
Government is responsible to a degree
warranting the declaration of state of
war. Therefore the plan is to push for
ward in the effort to bring away the for
eign Ministers, doing this side by side
with the other powers, anil leaving all
other questions for future determine ton.
If the Chinese Government ordered the
attacks on our forces, then they have de-
clared war, and if that fact shall be es-
tablished, the Government will act ac-
cordingly. On the other hand, if the
Chinese Government was not directly a
party to the uprising, then it has demon
strated its incaDacity and must reckon
with the United States Government here
after for the injuries inflicted upon it's
citizens and It's interests. Meanwhile as
our commanders in China appear to be
followed a proper course, they will be
left unhampered by further instructions
at this juncture; and will not even he
reinforced, unless they request it. The
above were the conclusions had at a
Cabinet CourIcil today There is still
no war with China.
1t may be noted that Admiral Kempff's
prudent course, as set out in the news dis
patches, and in the absence of official
statements, meets the unqualified ap-
prevail of the Administration.

derer, who had softened the winters
flowing, was glorifed. In May the
planting festival announced the COM
ing of the crops. Then the fields were
consecrated to the guardian spirits of
the grain. For this dedication young
virgins primitive Lady Godivas-were
sent to the fields at midnight unclad
and with their long hair hanging loose
to scatter the first seed and invoke
prolific harvests. There were no peep

In June came the first fruit or straw
berry feast, the very gala of thanks
giving. The Great Spirit had shown"
them His gifts, the luscious fruit had
blushed in the sun, and the festivities
of dance and song must celebrate its
vine and blossom. This berry feast in
cluded the whortleberry and raspber-
ry and certain wild herb berries which
contained remedial properties and
were defense against disease and vague
evils. Homage was rendered to every
growth of the vine under or above the
ground; grapes, squash, beans, pota-
toes and all sustaining foods that
'climb up to the sun for the red man"
were enumerated and acknowledged in
this everlasting ritual of thanks. The
''green corn" thanksgiving, usually in
August, was the "Big Thanks" The
women named the feast day and gath
cred few of the first ears that ripened
that the thanksgiving fire should first
receive this gift of the Great Spirit,
and as the smoke of the sayory grain as
cended the ancient chant of consecra-
ton was intoned by the medicine men
and women to the accompaniment of
the drum and turtle shell rattles. Fol-
lowing this chant the fire was extin-
guished and a new one kindled, over
which. suspended from oak sticks, large
kettles were swung. Within the ket-
ties the corn soup dubbed and sput
tered, forming dull accompaniment
to the weird songs of the dancers, who
were wreathed with twists of the silken
tassels of corn. the velvety pods of
beans and the gold trumpet blossoms
of the squash, emblems which SYM
bolized the gifts of the Great Earth
Mother arrayed in all her glories.

AN AWFUL QUESTION.
When the World Would
Come to an End.

What would be the commercial eff
feet of the certain knowledge that the
world was coming to an end in so
years? Well, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer, the first effect would be rather
social and moral than commercial.
though, of course, it would react very
strongly on the business world. Those
who in the ordinary course of affairs
would be dead before so years had
rassed would be the least affected, and
younger people would probably become
as resigned to universal death as they
are now to the equally certain individ-
ual death. Therefore, at first there
would be but little change. People
would have to live and therefore they
would have to work, while capitalists
would have to keep their money in
vested;, but as the last year of the
world came nearer enterprise and in
dustry would naturally slacken. 1t
would be no use for parents to work
for their children, or even for children
to be educated for the life they would
never live, and so the industrial fabric
would gradually crumble away as men
ceased to provide for day that would
never come. Commercial activity
would probably give place to religious
frenzy on the one hand and apathy
or boundless license on the other. I'm
der these circumstances the last few
years of the worlds life would be ap-
palling beyond description.
