PLAN NEW CITY FOR CHINA
Hankow, Destroyed in Revolution, May
Be Rebuilt in the Form of
Triangular Island.

The recent agitation regarding the
Hankow, China, destroyed during the
revolution, has developed into plans
which may make the city 2 triangular
island, and for this an English COM
pany offered Tin July, 1914 to furnish
$50,000,00O at the close of the war
then pending.
Commissioner Yam Tu has drawn up
comprehensive plan of improve
ment. One preliminary survey and one
minute survey have been made, and all
preparations for laying out the sites,
digging the new canal and construct
ing the river bridges are being active
ly pushed on.
The best part of the city Is now a
strip of land along the river Yangtze,
and this has been turned into Conces-
sions, so that nothing can be done in
regard to it.
Next in Importance is the land be-
tween the river and the old market
place, which is the only area on which
developments can be made. As the
lower end of the market place is con-
nected with the concessions, no extern
sion can be made on that side.
At the rear is a shallow lake, and
without great effort it cannot be
turned into market.
A comprehensive review of the stu
alton which recently appeared in the
Chinese National Gazette has met
with widespread approval. 1t says:
The strip of land behind the conces-
sions and the site of the lake are all
distant from the river, hence trans
portation is difficult Chinese COM
merce should extend and expand, and
other undertakings must be effected.
Those In charge of the project
now intend to open canal, beginning
at the upper part of the Han river,
extending along the rear of the con-
cessions and joining the Yangtze river.
Thus Hankow will be triangular
island.
"On every side of 1t vessels will
be able to cast anchor, and the de-
velopment of industries and COM
merce will go forward by leaps and
bounds"

"There Is No Law for a Genius"
March came in like lamb with
delicate weather, crystal clear and
opal bright, and with it came Miss
Ordway. Sandry was glad to see her.
but the critical point was at hand and
he scarce took time to eat or sleep
from the great work of the contract.
The mammoth raft was ready. the
largest, according to Daily, that the
camp had ever sent out in all its life.
and a special boat from the Portland
Mills company would lay off Yaquina
to receive it on the sixteenth.
On the night of the second, Daily
caught a glimmer of white on the lin
tel. 1t was q paper, stuck in with q
thumb-tack.
Watch your raft" it said. "for pow

That was all, and it was unsigned.
Daily told Sandry of the incident and
showed the warning.
So for the remaining nights the
great raft was lighted from end to
end and tour OF the Indians patrolled

from the cities of Lille, Roubaix and
Tourcoing several thousand OF the
civil inhabitants, and about the al

correspondents the opportunity to

conditions under which they now

A representative of The Associated

camps'-where men OF military age
are kept under guard--and some eight
villages where large numbers of So
called emigrants, men and women,
live without guard and busy them

questioning brought only the answer

The correspondent ate the food
which the Evacu>s ieceive--most of
it through the Spanish COM
mittee with which the German au-
thorities havv nothing to do--and it
appeared in general good and tasty.
Perhaps the best testimonial for the
generally prevailing sentiment was
the fact that in the thirteen villages
which form the group around Sedan,
and eight of which the correspondents
visited, only one attempt to escape
had been made, and the man who
made that came back voluntarily.
