CHINESE WORSHIP THE LIVING
Thousands Kneel Before Two Disciples

Man worship is still practiced in
China, according to Rev. +. s. Bur
ket, a Baptist minister of Changning
who found two disciples of the late
Liau, seated on thrones and receiving
the obeisance of thousands of their
followers. ..s
Liau, who achieved local fame about
thirty years ago because Of his reputed
power of healing disease and reliev-
ing the oppressed in spirit, was ex.
ecuted by the authorities, who feared
an uprising. Two of Liau's disciples
Ling Shuk and Lai Sam Shuk, how
ever, like their master, began to heal
diseases in his name and gradually
we're raised by their following to the
same godlike rank accorded to Liau.
Ling Shuk is n years old and Lai
Sam Shuk eight years his junior. Sew
eral ornate temples have been built ia
Liau. At the main one, located at
Liau's birthplace about l5 miles from
Changning, the missionary found gath
cred more than 1000 people to cele'
brate Liau's birth anniversary. The
two immortals were seated on the

A Use for Jack Pine.

The announcement that manufsctur-
ers have found a Use for the despised
lack pine as a source of pulp for max
ing wall board continues an old story
into a new chapter.
There was a time when Michigan
forests were counted valuable mainly
for their white pine, with Norway
much less esteemed second choice.
Michigan white pine was the best IN
the world and so common that any
body might have all he wanted OF
the finest and clearest lumber. Then
the quality began 10 run down n lit
lie as the hest trees fell. and finally
there was no more white pine. Nor
way followed and hemlock, which had
been considered worthless. came into
the market. In early DAYS also there
WAS no end of walnut for interior work
and a good des Of il was used as
rough lumber. At the same time what
was then called white wood, but Is
more commonly known now as vel
low poplar. was a common building
material cut in Michigan forests and
built into Michigan homes. But the
walnut grew scarce and the beautiful
tree from which the white wood came
was even scarcer. About that time,
builders began to use white pine where
the better woods had been used, and
So another descending scale Of lumber
quality began 90 be run.

ALLIES CALL WAR MEN
WHEN GERMANY WOULD
!. NOT MEET THE DEMAND
bolivian REVOLUTION
HAS BIG POSSIBILITIES
May Change the Complexion of South
American International
Politics.

Buenos Aires, July l3,-Dr. Jose
Maria Escalier, chief of the republican
party of Bolivia, which is reported ia
have overthrown the Guerra govern.
ment, told the Associated Press to-day
that he planned to return TO Bolivia
within week, having received dis
patches that the revolution had been
successful in three of the principal
Bolivian cities, La Paz, Oruro and Po-
tosi DIR. Escalier, who was presiden
tial candidate of his party in 1917
and opposed Jose Gutierrez Guerra
who has been ousted from control, has
made his residence in this city for sew.
eral years, but has made frequent trips
to Bolivia, and was made chief Of the
republican party last November.
The revolution in Bolivia, if success
full, seems likely to change the CON-
plexion of South American interna-
tional politics. 1t probably will upset
the recent accord between Bolivia and
Chile relative to the formers aspira-
tions, for an outlet to the Pacific and a
new situation in the Taeno- africa con-
troversy may be created.
DR.. Escalier explained the status OF
affairs relative to an outlet for Bolivia
by declaring that while the Guerra
government sought a Pacific outlet
through africa, the title to which is in
dispute between Chile and Peru, the
republican party claimed the out
let should be through the Chilean
port of Antofagasta This was one OF
the ports that Bolivia lost to Chile in
the war Of 1880. He asserted the new
government purposed to withdraw the
claim for the africa outlet which was
presented to the league OF nations and
present, instead. claims for Antofagas-
Ia He indicated Bolivia, which recent
" has been on the verge OF hostilities
with Peru on account of the former g
aspirations regarding africa, now would
draw closer to that country.
He said the Bolivian national policy
would be American, and that she
would follow the lead of the United
States regarding the league of nations.
While the army has apparently
ioined the revolution and imprisoned
President Guerra and his cabinet" he
said, "this is fundamentally. a popular
UPRISING for the restoration of the free.
dem of the press, fair elections and
other. liberties. 1t is not merely an
army mutiRy."

olution has been successful has not
