Leaders of the Chinese Reform as

chief officers of the society that the
queues must be sacrificed. Lead
ers of the organization declare that
the order will be obeyed. dueueless
Chinese may soon be a common
sight.
Ho Vow, Chinese consul general,
said today; In my opinion the
reform of China does not necessi-
tate the cutting off of queues; in
fact, such reforms where they
touch the religious observances
and old customs of China tread on
dangerous grouni. The proper
way to reform China is to adopt
such educational and commercial
measures as are in keeping with the
temper of the multitude"
