Southern China, Says
American Missionary

New York, March s.-(Speeial.)-
Outlaws are terrorizing southern and
western China. American mission
schools have been compelled to
close, because children, constantly
in danger of kidnapping, dare not
venture upon the roads. Bellies of
villages and sons of wealthy men
have been carried off and held for
ransom.
The Chinese government is help
less. Its police force is entirely
inadequate. Other nations, pre-
occupied with the world war and its
aftermath, have been unable to lend
assistance to preserve order, or pro-
tect their citizens in the ravaged
territory.
Reports of these conditions have
just been received at the national
headquarters of the missionary CEN
tenary of the Methodist Episcopal

Wilson's Fighting Speech.
While yesterday afternoon news
papers carried heavy type stream
er headlines such as Wilson'S Fight
ing Speech" featuring the presi-
dents farewell address in New
York, the press generally is chary Of
comment. The Westminster Gazette
alone among the conservative organs
treated the subject editorially, say
ing: 1--WE hope the league will be
much more than a debating society.
The world will be bitterly disap-
pointed If il does not become a prac-
teal factor in the governance of the
world"
But from Ulysses Rogers, Univer-
sal Service staff correspondent in
Dublin, comes a report Of violent and
bitter reaction against President
Wilson in Sim Fem press because
of his failure to intervene with Bril-
tain in behalf of ireland.
The Irish World says:
Wilson bids fair to be ranked as
the arch-hypocrite of the world-a
silver-tongued traitor to a trustful
democracy. The world has put this
liar on a pedestal and made him a
small god. Cromwell and his Bible
was merely a messy butcher in COM
parison to Wilson and his morals Of
social philosophy" 49,.
Another Dublin paper, Nationality,
says Irishmen in Ireland may be un-
able to get in touch with President
Wilson, "but Irishmen in America
can and will"
"Puritanieal Pifae."
Add to this the venom Of Horatio
Bottomley's weekly dose of anti
Wilson mania in today's John Bull,
in which the radical editor not only
refers to General Pershing's de-
tense of the American soldiers con-
duct in Paris and "a scene in Max
inns in which Americans played a
leading part" but refers to the presi-
dents Boston speech as "puritanical
pifflle."
Joseph Devlin, successor to John
Redmond as leader of the Irish Ma
tionalists, is quoted in the Dublin
Dispatch as saying:
Whatever regret one may feel
over here is better unexpressed. 1t
would be unfortunate II President
Wilson's opponents should be able
to seize upon statements of British
ers to use as ammunition against
him"
