,0RPORTL PUNISHMENT
FOR STEALING SICKSAW
(By Associated Press)


Pekin, May 19-Corporal punish
hent for stealing a ricksaw was one
bf the recent orders of the Chinese
plinistry of Justice which has been
approved by President Yuan Shi-kai.
The order, as translated in the
Peking Gazette, reads:
1T was originally intended that
corporal punishment should be meted
|put to those offenders who are de-
void OF the sense of shame. How
ever, these regulations failed to
make provisions for persons usurping
another's right of ownership. In
Peking alone, there have been sever
|al cases of rickshaw coolies usurping
the right of ownership Of rickshaws
belonging to the rickshaw shop. If
the offenders in respect of such cases
should be punished with mere i'm
prlsonment, there will be crowded
prisons, not to speak of the starva-
ton of the families of these Offend
ers. Therefore, we hereby suggest
mat an article be added to the said
regulations providing corporal pun
lshment for the above mentioned
cases.
The Presidents reply: The above
proposal is hereby approved, and the
said ministry is to enforce the same.
The Law Compiling Bureau of the
Cheng Shih Tiang, is to take note
OF the above"

Berlin, May l7-Devotees of
horse racing and breeders who have
been all but ruined, have finally sue
ceeded in assuring a resumption of
some fiat racing this season, after
canvossing all who are interested in
the sport. Plans have been COM
pleted for cries of six races at
Hoppegarten, near Berlin, beginning
Sunday May l6, and continuing
each Sunday thereafter.
No effort has been made as yet to
secure resumption of steeple-chas-
ing or trotting races. The former
is regarded as practically impos-
sible because almost every gentle
man rider in German is now in the
field.
A large part of the opposition that
has been voiced against racing has
been from persons who oppose any
thing like frivolity in wartime. The
racing proponents argue that it is
necessary the words sport and pleas
ure shall be erased, and that racing
shall be conducted purely for the
sake of keeping the breed of race
horses at high standard, and for
the benefit of stables that otherwise
would have to go out of existence.
They do not go beyond July in their
present plans. The sporting clubs
that must arrange the races un-
doubtedly will make up cards for
August, September, October and
early November If the public sup
ports the races now arranged
Nevertheless the biggest races of
the season, in point of usual inter
est and purses, are all scheduled,
and have about the normal number
of entries. These events include the
Berlin Grand Prix with a purse of
100000 marks, and the Hamburg
Derby, purse 125,000 marks, both
planned for July.
The entries for both these races
were made in 1913, and have drop
ped in size, of course, but not below
normal. Thus there remained, af-
ter the last forfeit day toward the
middle of April, thirty entries for
the Grand Prix and forty for the
Derby.
Racing enthusiasts, breeders
especially, are sure that the season
will see events at Berlin. Hamburg,
Frankfort, Cologne, Dresden and
Leipsic, and perhaps at Stuttgart
and Munich Both the king of
Wurtemburg and the king of Bavaria
are owners of stables and may help
the general movement.
A number of tracks will be closed.
That at Ruhlenben, near Berlin, is
now the site of the big detention
camp for British civilians. at Grune-
wald there is a hospital used for
those wounded in the war, and one
of the tracks at Cologne is used for
herding cattle.

PAN-AMER|CAN|SM
GIVEN IMPETUS BY
EUROPEAN WAF

Hohonk Lake, N. Y, May 10
THE most remarkable fact affecting
the western hemisphere which has
developed by the European war is
the impetus which it has given to
practical Pan Americanism," said
John Barrett, director general of
the Pan American Union, in an ad-
dress before the Lake Mohonk Con-
ference on International Arbitration
here today.
"The war has done more than any
other political influence, since the
declaration of the Monroe Doctrine
in 1928 to promote Pan American
Solidarity and emphasize the impor-
taEce of the common interests of the
western republic" he said.
There never has been heretofore
a time when the press and the peo-
pie of both North and South Amer
lea have been saying so many kind
things of each other as they are do
ing at this hour, and there never
was a time when the Latin American
governments and peoples were SO
| ready, as they are now, to cooperate
with the United States for the de-
velopment of closer commercial and
political ties.
For America the silver lining Of
the war cloud which hovers over
Europe and Asia is this growth of
Pan Americanism, expressing itself
as much along lines of sentiment and
comfy as of material things and
commerce. Since the war began, the
Pan American Union, the interna-
tional organization in Washington
of the twenty-one American Repub-
lies devoted to the development of
commerce, friendship and peace
among them, has been literally over
whelmed with thousands upon thou
sands of letters and inquiries relat-
ing to Pan American relations, Pan
American commerce and Latin Amer
lean progress, resources. opportuni-
ties and general development. The
demand for all of its publications
has almost doubled since this war
started, and such demand comes not
only from the United States for data
regarding Latin America but from
all over Latin America for informa-
tion regarding the United States.
"In this growth of Pan American
ism there looms high the possibili-
ties of a united America, using its

influence for peace In Europe. Tho
nations of the Old World cannot fail
to be impressed with the fact that
all of the republics of the New
World are at peace with one another
and are doing everything In their
power to preserve that condition.
When one group of men Is engaged
in bitter quarrel in contrast to
another group which is character
lied by most peaceful and friendly
relations, it is almost inevitable that
the former shall appeal to the lat
ter for the settlement of a serious
dispute. It is, therefore, altogether
possible and feasible that not alone
the United States but the United
States having the cooperation Of the
other twenty American republics, or
a group OF them, shall be able yet to
respond favorably to an appeal that
might be made from the Old World
to arbitrate or settle It's differences.
Such a situation is far from being so
remote as many persons might thing,
because Europe of late years has
been recognizing-as never before
the Importance Of the Latin Ameri-
can governments in International
affairs. and might feel a surer con-
fidence of absolute impartiality Of
