OUTLOOK FOR PEACE
NOT GOOD IN CHINA
Missionary to Orient for
Thirty Years Tells of Pre-
vailing Conditions.
5LENN.H. CUPTIeap

The outlook for peace in China is
iNr f-cHa encouraging At this time II
is the center Of world Diplomacy and
threatened with internal disorders The
duty Of foreign powers is to help China
"A much as possible but they should
not attempt 10 run China
This view OF the situation in the far
Est is taken by Dr. Gilbert Reid. a
former Presbyterian missionary who
has lived in China for thirty years, and
Who Is now IN America In the interests
OF the international Institute OF China,
an organization formed 10 bring about
better feeling and cooperation between
Chinese and foreigners living IN China
During the few days he has been in
Washington DR. Reid has spoken In
Several churches among them the
Church OF the Covenant, where he
S.,eaks this afternoon
Clash With Provinces.
'.'Vhat those who are not familiar
with internal conditions in China fail 10
recognize" said Dr. Reid, lis that there
is a continual clash between the I'm
perial government and the provincials.
The prOvincials stand on sort Of
States rights doctrine and resent what
they think IS interference on the part OF
the government. The chtaf trouble is
the question as TO what p2rS foreigners
shall play in Chinese affairs
This condition undoubtedly was the
cause of the Boxer uprising Il is the
cause Of the trouble now over the rail-
way loans
The government IS so tied UP with
t~eaties with foreign powers that II
cannot always afford TO turn them
down And between the provinces and
the foreigners, tbs government is con-
stantly being ground between the mill
stones.
Awakening of China.
"As for the awakening of China,
that is coming by degrees, but not
rapidly What will happen when il
comes none can prcphesy- As the Chi
nese become more enlightened they
first begin to rail at their Govern
ment for its weakness in allowing
Itself to become so hemmed in with
foreign agreements and then their
anger turns on the foreigners for in
weighing the Chinese Government
into those agreements
4 am sorry 10 say 1 cannot see
much of a moral awakening in China.
Corruption fiOurishes in a greater de-
gree than ever. The Chinese mer-
chant is not the rightly honest man
ne was fifteen yers ago. Association
with sharp-dealing foreigners has
changed his methods.
Just now America is popular with
the Chinese. A few years ago they
hated US. II is likely that the feeling
will change again and We will once
more become unpopular.

The Lindahs were shot with a shot
gun and then dubbed in a terrible
manner. Lindahl was a hunter and

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The
navy department expects to score one
of the greatest triumphs in wireless
telegraphy when the scout cruisers
Birmingham and Salem try to commu-
nicate more than 5000 miles with the
new naval wireless station at Brant
Rock, Mass.
The Birmingham sailed for Liberia
about a week ago on a rush errand in

but orders We're issued today for the
gunboat Des Moines to proceed to Lii
IBERIA to relieve the Birmingham in or
der that the latter may prosecute the
wireless experiments from points in
the south Atlantic off the African
coast.
The Salem will take another position
about 1000 miles distant from the Biz
mingham, and the ships will try to
communicate directly between them
selves, then with the Brant Rock sta
ton direct, and finally to that station
through a chain of stations.

rem ATTHAT PRICE.

Charles Wentzel has sold his farm
adjoining the city limits to j. S. Hill
leboe for consideration of $500. AS
the farm contains 671a acres including
an out-lot, the price paid per acre was
Sill. This is certainly a big price
for land, even though the personal
property is included in the purchase
price. Yet the land is worth it and
more too. Mr.. Hilleboe, who is an old
resident here and thoroughly famil-
liar with land values, considers that
he has gotten bargain even at the
price he paid. e..
Mr.. Wentzel is the first settler in
Warren. He located on the quarter
section, of which he has now sold the
remnant, thirty-six year ago. Part
of the original farm is now included
in the city limits of Warren, and an
other portion has been sold as a site
for North Star College. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wentzel will leave soon for Twin
Falls, Idaho, where their son, Ben
jamin, is located, and where they in
tend to make their future home.

"Oh! Susannah!", to large audience
at the opera house last evening.
Though there is not much of plot
to the play, yet it has many funny
parts and laughable situations that
gave occasion for the display of dra-
matte talent and kept the listeners
in very good humor Each partici-
pant performed his or her part in a
manner that gave evidence of much
patient practice and careful training.
The young people deserve credit for
furnishing so enjoyable an entertain
ment. The play was given yesterday
afternoon for the benefit of the grade
pupils and it will be repeated this
evening for the benefit Of those who
could not attend last night.
