CHINA MAY YET BE DRAWN INTO CONFLICT
Important Concessions Gained by Va rious Powers as Result of Boxer Uprising in 1900-Shanghai
 Cosmopolitan City
By HARRY NJ. AYERS

Anniston. August S--(Specia1) )-With a revolution brewing within the confines Of her own provinces, the republic of the far east is much interested in the present ! war situation in Europe. according to Dr. Joseph Whiteside. professor in Soo- chow university, Central China who has just returned to his home ia this city on furlough. and it is very probable that there will be notifications of the Euro bean conflict affecting China before the war is over
 This situation arises. i)r. Whiteside de- clares, as result of the international game of grab, which followed the Boxer uprising in 19oo, at the outcome of which England seized the port of Wei-hai-wei, Germany, Tsng-chau and Pao-ting flu; nrance, kaung-chow, and Russia, Port Arthur. Japan is now in possession of the last named port, and It's proximity to Tsing-chau and Paotingfu. the model cities of China. near which the Germans operate rich mines. may lead to an overt act on the part of the Japanese aeairs the Germans On the other hand, the Germans are considered to look with envy on We-hai-wei, where the English have fine coaling facilities.
 Shanghai Is Cosmopolitan
 In addition to these concessions, the English are entrenched at Honskong and, as well as the Japanese. have island pos- sessions off the coast. Shanghai is one Of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world he declares. The frs, building one sees on landing at the B,nd the main street, is a large Standard Oil struc- s trre, built in the center of little New ' ork. as it were. Adjoining this. with big turbaned Sikh Indians eterna1ly na- rading the streets as police, or ''red- headed devils, as the Chinese call them, is the English concession--a little Lon ton Next one comes to the Gay Farce of the east, the French concession in ssnanshai Nations of every section of the globe are represented in the traf- fickers that throng the streets. exposure being the Shanghai-Hongkong Banking corporation building. one of the strongest financial institutions in the world. con trolled by Russian capital

NEW ORLEANS SAFE
 FOR ALL VISITORS Dr. w. c. Fucker Addresses Important Letter to the
 Wholesale Bureau

New Orleans, August S.--(Special.) .)--That there need not be the slightest fear about danger from bubonic plague at New Or leans. is the assurance given to the coun- try by the United States public health service, through pr. w. C. Rucker assis- tant surgeon general. in communication addressed to the Wholesale Merchants and Manufacturers bureau under date of July 30. This not only applies to the safety of visitors who may come to the city, but as well to the safety in receiving ship ments from the New Orleans market.
 When 1t is considered that but l4 cases of human plague have occurred in a city Of 365. GOO population, and that for the most part these cases are punched in cer- tain area, 1t is very readily seen that the ratio between the population and the incidence is not as great as that of typhoid in most cities
 Precautions taken by the federal health authorities in the matter of inspection of loading all freight pfecludes the poss- bility of transmission of infection through rodents. and the statement is made by pr. Fucker that 1t Is his personal and pro- fessional opinion that shipments of all classes of freight may be made from the New Orleans market without danger. The Wholesale Merchants and Manu- facturers bureau of the New Orleans As sociation of Commerce in view of the grossly exaggerated and unwarranted re- ports of health conditions in the Crescent City. has mailed out thousands of fac simile letters of the communication from the United States public health service.

 Dr. Whitesde said that he was sur prised to learn on his arrival at Van couver that Hwang Shin had just landed with great pomp in San Francisco, where he was met by large motor car party. He travelled incognito, but Dr. Whiteside said he was able to identify him bylchar- acters furnished by a Japanese official, who had received advice of the notable arrival, Hwang Shin and Ho Hai Ming being leaders of the so-called Punitive society" which was organized to wrealx revenge on President Yuan, whose usur- patton of dictatorial powers is resented.

 Dr. Whiteside describes White Wolf as chinas Villa. His enmity to Yuan Is founded n~the death of several of his relatives and the confiscation of his prop erty at the hands of the dictator. He started in the province of Anhwei near the Shantung border, and has fought and pillaged his way as far south as Kansuh and Szechuen If he, Dr. Sen and the two punitive" leades were to unite Yuan's

SOME FACTS ABOUT BELGIUM
By N. H. WYNN

Situated between the two leading na- tions of Europe the Belgians have for hundreds of years been the victims of their rivalries and alliances. For more than century this Kingdom was contend ed for by the Kings of France and the Emperors of Germany, and now again it bids to become the field of the world s most decisive battle. Should the Germans force passage at Liege it is indicated that the next point of attack will be Na- mur. about s5 miles distant, and on which point the French army is converglng for cooperation with the Belgians If I.iege holds out another ss hours it Is probable the French army of invasion wiu march to it's relief. Tn either event the first great clash between France and Germany will occur on Belgian soil.

Hundreds of thousands are unemployed and on the brink of star Vation in China, however says pr. White side, and movements of discontent grow hke snowballs going down hill
 Asiatic Independence
 While there is some talk of a far east ern coalition among the Japanese the Chinese and the Indians, Dr. Whiteside says that this eventuality is not re- sarded seriously as a probability of the near future. although it was openly dis cussed by an educated Indian on the steamer coming over
