Chinese Troops

Ansterdam.-The correspondent OF

II was told the Chinese, IL COM
manded by their own officers were
excellent soldiers, but they ran like
hares IL their officers were killed.
Executions are now very rare in
Moscow. but, in August. when thous-
ands of 'counter-revolutyonaries'
were slaughtered, it was carried out
by the Chinese because the authorities
feared the Russian soldiers would re-
fuse to do the work.
"The Chinese do this work indif-
ferently-llke they 10 all other work
they are ordered to perform. They

it would relieve small districts of high

have to make a very small additional
levy, if any, to sustain its schools.

Direct Routes To
South America For
Mail Are Sought

San FranciscO.-Revision Of the
mall routes TO Central America so
that mail from the Pacific Coast may
so down the west coast or else follow
the most direct lines on the east coast
il being sought by trade development
bodies Of San Francisco. At present
the only method Of utilizing the
speedlest route is TO specify the name
of the ship On which the letter Is de-
sired to travel. Otherwise mail goes
through New Orleans and may 20 az
far as Panama and then back to
Nicaragua. instead of entering the
latter republic by a shorter and more
direct line, according TO those inter-
ested in the move.
The experience Of one San Fran
cisco business man. who had to send
a package from MontevIdeo, Uruguay,
TO Panama via France, instead of
directly up the west coast of South
America via Valparaiso, is cited.
This was merely because of an old
postal agreement. and resulted In the
package being delivered just a wear
later. because French steamship lines
to Panama had been withdrawn dur
Ing the war.
