POU CRITICISES
 REPUBLICANS ON WILSON ATTACKS
Claims President Was Vic tim of Partisanship While
 Abroad.

Washington, D. C., May 2S.---Repre- sentative ' Edward w. Pou. former Chairman of the House Rules com m.ttee, delivered a vigorous speech in the House charging that even before Presxd ertzj Wilson sailed for the Paris peace conference there was a Repub- hcan conspiracy to harass him and weaken his influence at home and abroad.
 The partisan conspiracy against the President, which embarrassed him in his negotiations with foreign nations at the itSHsce conference, was without parallel Asserted Representative Pou. He referred to the introduction of resolutions to declare the office of President vacant while the President was negotiating the treaty for the peace of the world, and severely con- demned the visit to the White House of Senator Fall, who went ostensibly to talk about the Mexican situa ton, but really to find out how sick the President was, according to MT. Pou-
 On his indefensibIe visit, MT. Pou asserted. the Republican senator found the Presidents mind as clear as a ben.''

 There are times when good men are
 glad to discard all political differ
 ences. There are times when every
 decent Democrat is proud to follow
 Republican President, and every de- cent RepUblican is proud to follow a.
 Democratic President.
 During every hour President Will
 son spent in Europe, he was entitled to such unstinted support, but it seemed certain Republican politicians,
 even during that critical period,
 thought more of party success than
 they did of the great struggle to make
 war between nations less probable.
 Let us not forget this: MT. Wilson
 was not only President, but he. was also Comma n d er-in-C Chief of the Army and Navy, and the war was still on.
 The attacks upon him were just as un-
 warran table as the attack of a soldier on his commander during battle"
 Representative Pou then read the Walsh and Campbell resolution de-
 claring respectively that at any time
 the President leaves the soil of the United States he shall be considered lunable to perform the duties of the office and the Vice President shall
 serve, and forbidding the President tc leave the territorial confines of the CCuutTy-

Commanding the native force at TieD.
tsin was Seng-ko-lin-sin, a Mongol gen.
eral, who later distinguished himself
less creditably. In 1860 he sought to
defend Tientsin against a foreign ex-
pedition by erecting an immense mud
rampant outside the city. Tientsin
was captured and held for two years
by the British and French and the
crude defense is known in the foreign
quarters as "Seng-ko-lin-sin's folly"
The region about Tientsin was
known as Chi-chou, under the Hsia dyn-
asty, whose rulers, 1000 years ago.
already had court astronomers who
tould predict eclipses. Later it was
called Ya-chou, in the Chou dynasty,
marked by the western wars waged by
Mu-Wang against the "Dog Barbara
1Es," thought to be ancestors of the
Huns. Tientsin dates back at least
to the fourteenth century.
Immense Salt Industry.
The salt industry in the neighbor-
hood of Tientsin is prodigious. Wind
mills are used to pump salt water into
the fields along the Halo river, where
the widely-known Chang-lu salt is
made. Before the war nearly 10000
tons were produced annually. But
Tientsin is important commercially in
many respects. 1t is a rice market,
and Siberia's tea formerly was shipped
through here. Exports were as varied
as the needs of the dozen or so nations
which had separate settlements along
five miles of the river front, and it's
imports were as diverse as the COM
modNies those nations had to ex-
change.
The Peiho and Hunho rivers con-
verge at Tientsin. From the latter to
the -Kiang extends the Gran@
canal, that remarkable specimen Of
ancient engineering, mentioned by Con-
fucius, which originally was more than
1000 miles long.
Tientsin has more people than Bos-
ton. 1t is the principal city of Chih-
Ii. and is Sc miles southeast of Peking

Soon after the entrance Of the
United States in the war the successes
of the Central Powers in Roumania
had reduced that country to a most
tragic condition and in the summer
of 1917, the American Red Cross deS-
patched it's first Roumanian relief
contingent. Two hospitals were at
once taken over and operated by the
Red Cross, canteen for the starving
refugees established and food and
clothing distributed over a large area.
Transportation was one of the
toughest problems with which the RED
Cross workers in Roumania had to
deal. Here is seen an OXcart used
by the Red Cross to carry its relief
supplies up into the mountains.
