UP.TO.DATE CHINA.

81 am firm believer In mod
ern methods of police supervision,
and in the New-World aim to make the
police preventers of crime. rather than
punishers," said an inspector Of police.
He is Chang Wei. inspector Of police
of Canton. China. And he has recently
been touring the United States and Can
ada to study our police systems and
methods.
This chief of police of a city Of some
1000 900 inhabitants is a graduate Of
the University of Peking. In his city.
the third degree. which included tor
ture, has been abolished since he took
office. Forced confessions are not al
lowed in police court testimony
7 Canton police receive an equivalent
of $40 a month They live at the police
stations. where they are well housed
and fed, free of cost. There are only
2,94O of these officers of the law in Can
ton; but no more are needed, the in
spector proudly maintains, because the
Chinese civilians of Canton have them
selves adopted a number of good ideas
of peace and order" from the western
world. More than that, Chinese women
are wearing American shoes, and many
a coolie answers the American traveller

Rather interesting, isn't it? The peo-

ways and superior administrative
methods. Our pupils in the backward
Orient are overtaking us in many ways.

HAIG TAKES HIS.

The. Irishman back from the front
had been describing the German dug
,outs. pill-boxes and other defense works.
l"How do the British build theirs?" he
was asked They don't build them;
lthey take EN-" was the satisfying re-
lply.
| And a well-known newspaper poet
remarks of the gentleman responsible
flor acquiring military works in this
Imannet:.
We hear a lot of other men who've
!done artistic fighting, but Haig, who's
lwon again, again, is unknown at this
writing. He doesn't hand out Haigish
news to eager-eyed reporters, nor yet
Submit to interviews which might be
called rip-snorters. He doesn't hunt the
Feature gent, or leave his post for
lsaken,. to face a kodak in a tent and
have his picture taken. / know not If
hes shdrt or tail, I've never seen his
photo; but whether tie is large or small,
hes getting Williams goat Oh"'
The verseimaker concludes: with
him there's no such word as can't. no
obstacles affrighting; great man! like
bur own silent Grant, he. fights and
keeps on Sighting"
Which reminds one of Lincoln's re-
ply to the gentleman who protested
against Grants indulgence in the flow
ing bowl-that if he knew the brand he
would buy some for his other generals
This is a more temperate age, and
Lincoln today would answer otherwise.
Sir Douglas manifestly does not imbibe
enough Of the beverage which has made
the Haig name famous to injure his
thinking or fighting power.
In this great chain of wars encircling
the world there are generals brilliant,
generals forceful, generals successful
and unsuccessful. But when the wars
hre all over and done with, when peace
lies gently on the lands and history is
written, Haig the un-interviewed, the un-
photographed, Haig the silent, the ef
fective, must take his high shining
place. Flowing through the Flanders
mud, gaining here a mile and there a
bill, wearing the Germans down and
Down and down--no more characteristic
phrase could be used to sum up his
methods and achievements than that Of
The wounded Irishman
I Haig doesn't build his dug-outs; he
takes them.

ROTTED POTATOES.

! One of the reasons why potatoes have
not cheapened so much as the plentiful
crop promised has been revealed in a
brief news item from Chicago:
j 1"More than 500 carloads of potatoes,
most of them frozen, rotted and unfit
Tor consumption, were discovered in
Chicago freight yards today, according
70 police reports. The destination cards
Had been removed, and detectives so
lar have been unable to determine the
6onsignees." - t.',: i'Hs -
This looks like crooked work At the
very least. is criminal carelessness. To
Hermit food to spoil in such quantities.
d time when, the vital interests Of
the nation demand the conservation of
dvery sort Of foodstnff, is little less
than treason. II seems Incompetent
$ble that so many potatoes should get

ished. II IL was mere carelessness, the
negligent persons should be punished
There has been too much of this sort
OF thing.
The offense is aggravated by the fact
that while those potatoes were rotting
the cars were hsIA.. .tdle instead If be-
ipE used for other purposes. Conservs-
tlon OF freight cars is no less importan,
than conservation of food.
