. F[UDALW WAR

Western Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13,-In the
opinion of students of oriental affairs,
China is rapidly approaching great
crisis in her history. The uprising
in SEE Shuen province is expected to
extend to other neighboring provinces,
especially where the Mongolian ele-
ment for many years has been opposed
to the reigning Manchu dynasty. The
Chinese government has been quick to
dispatch troops to the disaffected dis
trict. The struggle going on is a
really gigantic test of the relative
strength and power of central govern
ment as opposed to provincial govern
ments, in other words the situation
resembles the great feudal wars of
Europe in the middle ages.

CELEBRATIONS OLD AND NEW.

(From the Rutland Ncws)
In view of the coming celebration in
this city of the 15oth anniversary of the
granting of Rutland's charter. which is
dated September :. 1861. the account in
another column Of an old time celebration
in the town Of Hartlnn1. prepared for the
News by United States Marshal Horace
w. Bailey, is timely and will be read with
interest.
It may not be untimely to note that
dartland was chartered in l7G1 and first
settled in 1863 and that at that date 1t
was the only town in which a settlement
had been begun in Vermont on the Con-
nectlcut river between Charlestown. n
H., tNo. q and Newbury, 10 miles north
It may interest the reader to know that
the 1871 census gave Hartland a popula-
ton of 1852; in 1900 1861 1910, 2,%2; 1920.
1853, since which time the population has
steadily decreased, until it now has only
about one-half of the 1870 population.
The 1857 celebration dug out by Mr..
Bailey was Just an old time Fourth OF
July celebration, done .up brown" This
kind of a celebration was current in the
more populous towns a century ago and
it is doubtful If a 10th century celebration
of any kind can outshine the public
events of the worthy grandsires when the
country was new.
They could burn powder and salute Old
Glory as we'll as we; they had more en-
durance for parade, and probably better
grog and surely better food; with good
II not better oratory and a far better
disposition to pause an hour or two and
listen to a lecture, but they didn't have
the frequent and fast automobile. All
hail the grand daddys.
