STRANGE CHINESE PUNISHMENT

On July :, in the prefectorial city
of Liuchowfu in the province of
kwangsi, South China, three men, ac-
cused of crime, were stripped half
naked, then dragged along the narrow
streets, through the city gate TO
place outside the city wall. where they
were thrown into burning pits, and
after suffering indescribable agony in
the flames, were riddled with bullets,
and then covered with earth The
crime charged against them was the
murder of four soldiers. who the off,
GERS claim were suppressing gambling
in the country districts when they
were killed by a mob. The report
current among the people was that
these soldiers became involved in a
quarrel. and three Of them were kill
led in the melee that followed. After
the execution. orders were issued that
Soldiers went from house to house
could find. and then set fire to the
village. The prisoners were brought
TO the city for punishment, and nine
OF them were led outside the city
wall and shot on the execution
ground.
That this is an isolated case of
cruelty We are glad to believe for if in
the name OF law the Chinese officials
are going to resort l., the barbarities
practiced in the Middle Ages. il will
bring the name Of the new republic
into disgrace. and put far distant the
day when claim can be made TO civil
ization.-The Christian Herald.

SAVING THE ORIGINAL "STAR-
SPANGLED BANNER"
After several months of c

After several months of constant
work of most delicate character,
the powder-burned bullet-scarred
"Star-Spangled Banner" which float
ed above Fort McHenry a hundred
years ago when the British fleet was
repulsed while attempting to reach
Baltimore, has been preserved for
posterity. The faded and tattered
remnants of the flag during the sum-
mer were subjected to a process of
restoration. which it is believed will
prevent further disintegration of the
fabric. In an illustrated article the
December Popular Mechanic Maga-
zine says:
The work of preservation was ac-
Icomplished by backing the banner
with specially woven Irish linen. The
flag was basted TO this, care being
taken that not single thread should
be stretched too tightly, after which
the final sewing required weeks of
time to complete, and took the SER
vices of more than a dozen needle
workers Linen thread, dyed to
match the different colors, was used
in stitching the banner to its rein
forcement, the work being done so
closely that it now gives the flag a
honeycombed appearance over it's en-
tire surface. 1t is estimated that more
than a million and half stitches were
taken. No attempt was made to

MAKE LOAFERS WORK

Raunick Declares There VIII Then
Be No Problem of Hous-
ing Migrants

Nagrants who apply to the city for
loding should be made to work for
their keep DR.. j. NJ. ]. Raunick. city
health officer, this morning declared in
speaking OF the problem of housing the
many homeless men who recently
have come to the police station for
lodging.
DIR. Raunick's attention was recent
ly called to the fact that from fifteen
to twenty-five men have been sleeping
in two small detention cells at the
police station and he Investigated the
matter to see il health laws were not
being disregarded in allowing so many
men to sleep in so small a space.
Speaking of his investigations DR.. Rau-
nick said:
Il do not think that the city should
use those two small rooms to house a
crowd of men who are permanent
for the men and unfair to the people
of the city. Make the vagrants work
for their keep. and in a short time they
will not trouble the city"
That the city should provide a
lodginghouse for homeess men. is
the opinion OF Miss Hazel Clark, secre-
tary of the Associated Charities. She
thinks the city should make vagrants
work to pay for their lodging. She
said if this plan were adopted Har-
risburg would be carefully avoided By
wanderers.
other cities that use this method
to overcome the trouble of applicants
for free lodging do not have one-sixth
as many homeless men according 10

under the system of which Judge
Henry Neil is the father. This sys-
tenn is simple: A mothers business
is to take care of her own children in
her own home. If the husband and
father dies, is i'll or deserts and leaves
the wife and children dependent, they
must have three meals a day, shelter,
clothing. schooling, and hope of pro-
gress. The old way was to force the
mother to go out to do work for the
children of some other mother. Her
own children were placed in asylums.
poorhouse and other institutions.
Now money formerly paid to asylums,
hospitals, jails and other institutions
goes to the mother as a pension. 1t
is a beautiful thing to help distressed
mothers maintain their homes. IT is
contrary to the very law OF our ma
ture to separate a mother and her
children. God loves the family. "A
father of the fatherless, and a judge
of the windows, is God in his holy
habitation." Cps. 6S: 5.)-The Christ

GERMAN ENVOY
STILL At POST IN
FRENCH CAPITAL

PARIS, Aug. 3.-The German am
bassador was still at his post in Paris
today and there was no indication of
his intention to leave.
Throughout the night aeroplanes
had flown hither and thither over the
city watching the horizon toward the
eastern frontier, while searchlights
swept the skies and made it almost
impossible for any hostile air craft
to approach.
The streets of the French capital
today presented a deserted aspect.
All the motor omnibuses and most of
the taxicabs had disappeared, having
been requistioned by the army, while
large proportion of the men had
gone to join their regiments.
Special trains have been reserved
by the authorities for the transporta-
ton to Paris of foodstuffs, particular
ly milk A decree was issued threat
ening with severe measures, anyone
attempting to raise the prices of food.
In the neighborhood of the Ameri-
can embassy, crowds of Americans
gathered seeking passports OF iden-
tification papers. The ambassador
gave all of them certificates bearing
large red seal declaring that the
bearer was an American citizen and
giving his home address and profess
sion.
