CHINA APPEALS FOR AID
Wants United States to Help
 Repel Russians.
NO WAY OF DOING so AT PRESENT

Washington Authorities In Sympathy
 With China, but Must Await RatifI-
 cation of Treaty Before Any Inter ference Can Be Undertaken.
 Washington, Nov. 3.--Sir Chentung Iiang Cheng, the Chinese minister here, acting under instructions from his government, has been endeavoring 10 interest the United States govern ment in China's behalf in her Manchu- rian troubles and has visited the state department to learn if any way can be found by which the United States may be able to serve China. It appears, however, that Secretary Hay has not been able to hit upon any plan.
 Immediately after his visit to the state department Sir Iiang cabled to Picking the answer of Secretary Hay to China's appeal for assistance in check Ing Russia in Manchuria.
 The Picking authorities are aware by this time that until the ratification of the American Chinese treaty. which was signed on Oct, B. pledging to the world the opening of Mukden and An
 
 ernment, in view of it's traditional pol icy of steering clear of foreign alli- ances, to protest against Russia's con tinued occupation of Manchuria. It has been pointed out to China that, al- though the sympathy of the United States is hers, the time for American interference has not yet come.
 It is expected that the commercial treaty, which. should arrive at Wash lngton this week, will be ratified at the extra session of congress, when the United States will be in a position to insist on a strict regard for her treaty rights throughout China. The Peking government has been told that infringe ment by Russia or American treaty rights in Manchuria will furnish the Washington government the opportnni- ky for at least reiteration of it's de- sire for the preservation of the integ- x1ty of China.
 Japan, it was learned last night, has enstituted a vigorous investigation re- Iarding the extent and character of Eussia's reoccupation of Mukden. MT. Tkkahira, the Japanese minister, when asked whether Russia and Japan con Semplated an understanding by which Rhe one would obtain free hand in Manchuria and the other important concessions in Korea replied by calling attention to recent official announce lment from Tokyo that the negotiations Hn the Japanese capital between Rus mia and Japan were, so far as Japan is !concerned, strictly in accord with the SAngIo-Japanese alliance. He has not been advised of any appeal from Rus aia fn Ianan

OLD FOLKS; BE PATIENT.

With the papers full of commencement
exercises, telling of what the sweet girl
graduates and bright young men who have
won their diploma think about the future,
the old folks seem to have completely
dropped out of sight. except when one is
killed or perishes in food. But there Is
a ray of light held out for them by the
Winston Sentinel. which says:
This observation is made by the Ro-
leigh News and Observer: fThere is only
one more week of commencements, and
after that comes the baseball season. Will
the old folks ever get chance in the pa
pers?" Sure, next year, when the political
campaign is on. The difference will be
however, that the mentions made OF them
will not be complimentary altogether"
Even in politics you bear the demand
for young men, and the only old men who
are in the lead are forced to make fac
OF fishing or hunting or some other stunt
calling for youth and robustness.

TO FIGHT THE DIVORCE EVIL

The Catholic and protestant clergy OF
Milwaukee have announced a joint meet
ing for the purpose of making united
effort against the growing divorce evil.
We are told that it is one of series
which will be held to unite all the religi-
Gus forces in a holy crusade against the
greatest modern enemy of the home. The
hope of the success of the crusade is in
the hands of the pulpit and the press.
the twin agencies that are leading in tie
work for real reform.
At the meeting OF the Presbyterian Cen
eral Assembly recently in session at Los
Angeles the following resolution was
adopted:
THAT the ministers of the Presbyterian
church are hereby enjoined to refuse to
perform the marriage ceremony for CT
vorced persons except those who have
been divorced on such grounds and for
such causes as are recognized as scrip
tural by the standards of the church"
II the protestant and Catholic churches
will unite upon systematic and earnest
effort, they can do much to stop the
growing divorce evil--the evil that Is
more dangerous to society than any other
which confronts the world today.
