ORIENTAL "CALLS" WILSON
Thinks Summons to George Wash
lngton Is Just "Hot AIR"

Captain Teh- -yuen Lu, naval attache
to the Chinese legation in Washington.
accompanied by Lieutenant Chu Fong
Lin, assistant attache, is in Phila-
delphia to look over this city's indus
trial establishments and shipyards.
They will so to Hog Island today.
"China feels more kindly toward
America than toward any other coun-
try said Captain Teh -yuen. "This
is quite natural, as many of our youths
have been and are being educated in
America. l think the American peo =
pie are we'll disposed toward us also.
1--WE are in favor of the league of
nations in China. If we are admitted
to the league it will be good thing for
my country. 1t will then be impossible
for Japan to force upon us such arrange
ments as virtually take away a part OF
our sovereignty, as she did in 1915.
II think President Wilson'S sending
for the George Washington is hot
air 1t is bluff on his part to hasten
the deliberations of the Peace Confer
ence. How can he carry it out wher
the conference is not yet ended?"

CELL CONVERSATION
MAY COST CONWCTS
THEIR $4,000 LOOT
Overheard Talk Leads to Lib
erty Bonds Still Missing.
duplicates Third Man

A conversation overheard between
two men convicted of stealing 500 800 in
Liberty bonds last May has resulted
in evidence that the detectives say
will enable them to recover the S53, ,OoC
in bonds still missing.
The bonds were stolen from the
Land Title and Trust Company. About
$1G,500 worth of the securities were
recovered. The two men calmly ac-
cepted their sentences of from two years
TO thirty months in the Eastern Peni-
tentiary rather than gain immunity by
revealing the hiding place of the re-
naming bonds.
The prisoners are William kiley and
Louis Merriam. Conversations between
them in their cell, overheard by detec-
tives, not only give clue to the hiding
place of the bonds. it is said, but also
implicate an accomplice.

"EYE FOR AN EYE"
IS PULPIT ADVICE
TO MEET INJUSTICE
DR.. w. J. Dawson, Newark,
Gives Counsel Of Reparation
at st. Stephens Service

BE just to those who are just to
you, but of those who are not just to
you demand an eye for an eye and q
tooth for tooth, is the advice given
by the Rev. DIR. w. J. Dawson, Of the
First Presbyterian Church, Newark, in
his noon talk in st. Stephens Church
on the text, 'I shall see light in Thy
light"
1--WE live in the cafefully modu-
lated light of convention. Everything
depends on the standard man sets for
himself; and it depends on that stand
ard whether we are able to lift our
selves to the great light of Christ.
"We can increase our power Of vi
sion by accustoming our eyes to the
light. and we decrease our power VIXEN
we do not use our eyes or take advan-
tage of our opportunity"
Doctor Dawson's last talk in st. Ste
phen's will be at noon tomorrow, when
his text will be "Why Did Jesus Die?"
