Rich Chinese Provinces.

ShantunE, the Chinese province
which Japan has been demanding from
China, is a mountainous promOntory
100 miles wide, which projects east
ward from the mainland into the Vel
low sea for 200 miles. Its area is
about 55,970 square miles The cen
trail portion is occupied by massive
limestone mountains, eliminating in
Mount Tai, famous in history and con
sidered sacred by the people. West,
southwest and north of these noun
tains lie the Shantung portions of the
great alluvial plain of north China
East and southeast of the mountains
and throughout the promontory are
many fertile valleys and small plains.
The province Is well watered. though
its lakes are few and small, and
there are no rivers Of importance ex-
cept the Hoang-ho, which traverSes the
great plain in the west and north. The
Grand canal runs through the whole
province from north TO south. Agricul-
ture is fourishing industry and the
crops include some cotton, a little rice.
tobacco, indigo, wheat, barley, maize,
millet, pulse, peanuts and vegetables

poser of the music had come from
Chicago to direct the orchestra, and
found his seat in the orchestra pit so
far below the stage level that only a

after she had eaten the mushroom,
would have let him look O-er the foot

WOULD NOT HEED WARNING
World Refused TO Profit by Exhibition
of German Cunning Given Forty
Eight Years Ago.

Alsace Snd Lorraine. those familiar
names, found almost every day in al
most every paper; those two OblOng
strips of country between France and
Germany-how little some of US know
about them, after all. The eX-crown
prince, In order to prove the ignorance
of our fighting men, reported an Amer
lean prisoner as saying that Alsace
was large lake. Perhaps he did, this
soldier of ours-and perhaps there was
twinkle in his eye and a laugh in his
heart when he said it; for our boys
packed lot of humor In their kits.
When we come down in it, however,
we Americans-yes, and our English,
even our French, brothers-might well
have known more of these two lost
provinces" We had chance. But in
our crowded lives many books are left
unread; and so it Is that these Alsatian
stories, translated from the French Of
two authors who wrote under their
combined names Of Erckmann- Chat
rian were little knowA except to col
lege students. Even then, the prophecy
which these books contain went I'M
heeded-a warning so plain, so certain,
so convincing, that as we read it now
in the light of what Germany has done
these last four years, we wonder it
was not trumpeted to US in every
street.
In their book. "The Plebiscite."
Erckmann-Chatrain gave US not only
the tragic story of what happened in
Alsace and Lorraine in 1870 and 1871,
but warnings of the German designs
on the rest of the world. Before most
of US dreamed of this awful war, they
told the story Of As years ago, and In
the telling pointed certain finger to
the future. Only q year after the
Franco-Prussian war ended, after pic
turing freshly remembered German
brutalities, they said:
Those who shall come after will
see worse things than this; since men
are wolves. foxes, hawks, owls, all this
must come round again.
Those Germans are the most per-
feet spies in the world; they come
into the world TO spy, as birds do to
thieve; ii is part of their nature. Let
the Americans and all the people who
are kind enough to receive them think
Of this. Their imprudence may some
day cost them dearly. I am not in
venting; am not saying a word too
much. We are an example. Let the
world profit by it."

RUN THE RAILROADS

VLADIVOSTOK-A Russian ayia-
tor who deserted the Red Guard army
in January and flew into the lines OF
the All-Russian forces has described
the conditions then prevailing in
soviet Russia to a member of the
British Mission here as follows:
The soviet authority had national
lied all supplies including warm cloth
ing which was being furnished only
to the Red Army. The Bolsheviki
were carrying on agitation in all
countries as Lenine's only hope for
perpetuation of his control and of
|Bolshevism. Lenine and Trotzky. were
not in complete accord. Trotzky
wished to restore much of the old
military regime, including saluting
and a measure of discipline. Many
Russian prisoners returning from Ger
many had Joined the Red army as
their only chance to live.
The naturalization of women, he
said was untrue. Some churches had
been converted into theatres. Only
the "intelligentzia went to church.
There were no private stores OF
shops; all were under the control OF
the soviets and purchasers had to
show cards authorizing them to buy.
Army officers had no distinguishing
uniform but wore a star on the cap.
Officers of the old regime were com
PEELED to act as instructors in military
schools, their work being strictly
watched by '..commissars" and their
families held as hostages to guarantee
satisfactory conduct.
Power of the railway "commissars'
was unlimited. Railways were badly
operated. Employees spent much time
holding meetings. There was no coal
and little wood. WorEmen drink all
sorts of substitutes for vodka.
Moscow was well lighted but most
cities and towns were inadequately
| lighted. a.
Bolsheviki never entered villages OF
towns except in parties because OF
danger of attack upon them by
peasants. They had very active
secret police organization.
In Moscow bread cost 100 rubles a
pound. Two hundred rubles was an
average charge for cab fare.
The peasants would only accept the
old issue of currency and would not
have Kerensky or Kolchak bills.

Region Closely Linked With
Fortunes of War and
Was Valuable
AN HISTORIC REGION
Along River Beds are Planted Vine
yards from Which Came the
Famous Moselle Wines

WASHINGTON, April 26-"An-
cient castles and mines, old monas-
teries crowded by new factories which
sometimes usurp historic abbeys,
wooded and jagged hills dimmed by a
pail of smoke" Such is the pre-war
picture of the Saar valley, contained
in a bulletin from the National Geo.
graphic society.
"Prized for its precious coal de-
posits, among the richest in Europe,
this valley which now is playing such
a conspicuous part in the peace con-
ference deliberations is highly COM
pact area when compared to Ameri-
can coal fields" the bulletin continu-
eS.
"The Saar valley, strictly speaking,
extends along they Saar river from
Conz, where it empties into the Mo-
selle, five miles above Treves, south
ward into Lorraine where the river
is artifcially extended to the Rhine
and Marine canal, an air line distance
of less than rs miles.
"The coal fields themselves lie
about Sarrbrucken. They cover
about 70 square miles, and before the
war produced some 100000 tons a
year. The tonnage equals a third of
the annual coal output in France.
But the extent seems small
when compared with the 10000
square miles of the Pennsylvania belt,
and the yield is but one-fortieth of
the coal mined annually in the United
States.
"Thus not all the Saar Valley, il
is evident, is a mining region. To
ward the mouth of the little river
are vineyards, often planted in the
beds of the former loops of the river
before it carved out more direct
courses, from which came portion Of
