Corporal William s. F,itzgeraId of the 10th U. s. Infantry now located in China has written to his uncle, Dr. Edward Fitzgerald of 4S0 East Wash ington avenue.
 T suppose you people back home read in cable despatches of the trou- ble we had with the Ja-ps here in Ttertsin," writes Fitzgerald. For a time 1t look pretty bad for us. Just at this time things are comparative ly quiet around the American Ieea- ton. but on all sides things are top- sy-turvy.
 Students are all on strike in pro- test against the action of the Peace tung province to the Japs, after the Germans were driven out of there in the war.
 "A boycott has been declared against Japanese goods. President Hau and his entire cabinet resigned and all Tientsin shops are closed by strikes. The whole country is in a turmoil and we are on the lookout all the time for trouble which might in- volve American interests here"
 Fitzgerald returned to Tientsin recently from a trip along the length of the old Chinese wall, on which he accompanied party of U s. Army engineers who were run ing a survey along the wall.
