Nei ther the Chinese public nor the Chinese press has any fear that the United States has any ulterior motives.
 Since the death of President Yuan Shi-kai. the most important single fact in the history of China has been the signature of the Stems and Carey rail way agreement" says the Picking Daily News. Tt reintroduces into practical politics a principle that was in danger of being forgotten. Americans do not seek political power. influence or spheres. They seek trade and trade only and they have now assumed that other nations seek nothing more and really mean what they say when they pledge themselves to the maintenance of the open door and equal opportunity for all in China.
 "All the powers interested have eX- pressed their adhesion to the principle of the open door but in spite of the lip service rendered to this doctrine there has been sneaking desire to cvade it's real consequences. Great Britain, more than once when non British schemes have appeared to have rami- ficatons that reached the Yang-tse valley. have been obviously uneasy: as witness the French port of Pukow scheme and the Japanese Hankow de- vclopment project.

 BERLIN, Nov. 2S. - The following item was given out for publication to- day by the Overseas News Agency:
 According to promises given to the inhabitants of Lille and other towns in occupied territories in France, the following number of persons have been transported back there
 Up to August l. 1916 1893 persons. who were either incapable of working or whose removal from their homes had proved especially severe.
 Prom the beginning of October un- til the middle of November. 6.67l per sons, mostly women, whose work was no longer required.
 The competent military authorities have received an order to transport back, up to the end of the year, all persons with the exception of those who wish to stay in their new resi- dence. Since 1t is most probable that the French government will assert that these measures were taken in conse- quence of its protest and the interven- tion of neutral governments, it is ex- pressly stated that neither unfounded protests nor intervention has in any way influenced the decision of the German military authorities. The transport back home of these people was carried out exclusively. in accord ance with the promise given them at the time of their removal"

compares with SO upward price re-

''Readjustments in speculative chan

This is welcomed by producers. with the
works nearly everywhere covered by

Transportation difficulties still cause
much delay in the movement OF raw
