War as a Lucrative Industry

From Civil War as Profession 1T China by John o. P. Bland. in Asia. . In all China today you will not find a politician of either the old school or the
 new who is prepared to name a dozen men whose records in the public service would command general respect and con fidence, in the matter of disinterested
 clean-handed administration. It is be- cause of the lack of such men and the impossibility of reorganizjng the govern ment without them. that the great ma jority of genuinely patriotic Chinese have been led to perceive that the country's s best chance of regainng stability and security lies in placing the national finances 'as whole under foreign super vision. And the machinery for this super vision lies ready to their hand: they have only to extend the administration which has proved so beneficial in the case of the maritime customs, the Salt Gabelle and the postal service.
 I have discussed this question with Chinese officials of all classes Amongst the highest officials at the capital and in the provinces, many are prepared to ad- nit in private conversation. that in foreign intervention lies China's only hope of putting an end to the pernicious activities of the political adventurers and freebooters who have made of civil war a lucrative industry. The list which could make of the men who have con- fessed to this belief would. be entertain ing and instructive. It cannot be pub. lished, however, for, since the students at Pekin expressed their dissatisfaction with the Versailles treaty last year by buring the house of Tsa- Ju-lin and in- sistng on his dismissal from the cabinet, officiadom goes in deadly fear of of lending Young China vocferous. Let but the Yamens be disturbed by whisperngs of some new plot, such as Gen. Chang Hsun's >esca pades of 1917, and straight away long lines of carts. laden with the portd ble wealth of mandarns. make their way from the houses of the great to the refuge of the banks and the battlements of the legation quarters In the natural tnidity of the officials and merchants lies the re;,l secret of much of the ex- traordinary influence of the student clas.

Burton of the Shamrock.

Sandy Hook, N J., July IS (By the A. P.).-sir Thomas Lipton plans to take Captain William P. Burton from the wheel of the cup challenger Shamrock ". The decision to supplant Captain Burton as skipper of the Lipton sloop was prac- tically decided upon at a series of confer ences today of Sir Thomas 1ipton, Cap tain H. L. Garrett, representative of the Royal Ulster Yacht club on board the Resolute, Charles Nicholson, designer Of the Shamrock, and Colonel Duncan F. D. Neill, personal representative of Sir Thomas on board the Shamrock.
 When the Lipton seventy footer is found at the starting line for Tuesdays race either Colonel NeilI or Designer Nicholson will probably be in command. Sir Thomas choice for skipper of the challenger is Mir. Nicholson, who not only designed. but built the Shamrock as well and is also a yachtsman of ability as shown in his contests in England.
 Whether Captain Burton and his wife, who sails on the challenger as the sloop' s timekeeper, will remain on board the Shamrock after the wheel has been taken from the Gosport skipper is not known, but the belief on Sir Thomas steam yacht tonight was that MT. Burton would not care to sail on the challenger under the circumstances. The removal of a captain from a cup yacht during the progress of an Americas c,ln ciiatch is believed to be without preceGent in the history of cup racing.
 Sir Thomas would not talk of Captain Burtons removal or any of the circum- stances bearing upon it. other than to say tonight, when asked about the last two races. that things were not going as satisfactorily as they might. Sir Thomas f0 ic satisfied with the design and sailing abil- ity of his latest challenger.
 That things were not going well in the handling of the Shamrock in the last two races was not concealed either on board Sir Thomas Lipton's steam yacht Vic toria. where Sir Thomas associates and friends watch the races, or on the tender Killarney, where officers and crew of the challenger are housed.

BRITISH AND CREEKS TO
 CLEAR sCUTARI PENINSULA

Constantinople, July r (By the A. Po. The British and Greeks are preparing to clear the Scutari peninsula of all na- tionals and establish line from Ismid to Chileh on the Black sea, which will control the bandit raids against Bos- phorus towns and check communication between, Angora and ConstantInople through the Scutari peninsula mountains.
 s9sef1eraT Ironsides of the British forces probably will command the troops. His headouarters will be at Isnlid Two Brit ish divisions already are available. These will be increased to an army corps. Two Greek regiments will be used.
 Turkish nationals continue to raid Greek villages on the south shore of the Gulf of Ismid The Greek patriarch re- ports that Fouladtnik, a Greek village with population of 1000, near Maramr- sal, was v:- .'v wiped out July 15. The Greeks were shut inside the church, which was set on fire. The Greek patriarch re- ports that there are only 150 Greeks alive in the village.
 The entente is preparing for a campaign for the exter.nination of bandits. They will issue a warning that all villages which shelter or assist the nationals will be shelled or burned. British torpedo boat destroyers have shelled or burned Riva, a nationalist stronghold on the Black sea, nea rthe entrance to the Bos- phorus. and are carrying out spasmodic bombardments elsewhere against the na- tionals on the Scutari peninsula, who are shortly to be attacked by land forces from the east.
 Failure by the French troops to display the Greek flag at review on July 14 and failure by the French to salute the flag when passing the Greek consulate resulted in protest by the Greeks. The French General Nayral De Bourgon, in reply apologized for the oversight.

PRAISE ADAMS HANDLING
 OF WHEEL ON ABSOLUTE

Sandy Hook, N. J., July 1S.-Open ad- miration for the way Charles Adams has handled the wheel on the Resofute has been expressed on Sir Thomas steam yacht and at the same time it was ob- served that there was also a concurrence of the opinion expressed in newspapers that Shamrock was not being sailed in a fashion to show her real ability; that in the starts of the racers she has been completely outmanoeuvered and that the Lipton craft has not been sailed to wind ward as she might.
 The climax in the situation, in which even the crews engaged in scuttlebutt talk nightly after the races, came yesterday when the Shamrock lost ground because of certain changes in headsails during the first leg to windward Here again Skip per Adams was complimented on skill with which he hunted out the vagrant breezes and kept the Resolute moving while the Shamrock was continually in trouble fioundering helplessly in oily soft spots where there was no wind and get ting so becalmed that she fell far behind the defender.
 Sir Thomas Lipton believes that the Shamrock " is a wonderfully fine craft and that with good wheel work and a whole sail breeze can defeat the Ameri- can defender
 
 so cheerful under the circumstances, said Lord Dewar on board the steam yacht Victoria tonight, though to change ! horses while crossing streams is always a | doubtful thing. Last night after the | race Sir Thomas was joking those on 1 board the Shamrock. saying Did you really see the Resoute? Could yo see l her? You must have had fine binocu- | lars p'
 l Colonel Neill and Designer Nicholson I are the most talked of on the Victoria to ' take the wheel of the Shamrock. Colonel | Neill is one of the best yachtsmen in 1 England, and was selected to sail the 1 Shamrock in these races when running l before the wind There was a suggestion | that Captain Alfred Diaper, skipper of the 23-meter Shamrock, the trial horse Tor the cup challenger, might be chosen to succeed Captain Burton. The 23-rneter 1 shamrock lies at her nloorings near the l challenger in the Horseshoe. If Cantain l Diaper iH selected to pilot the cup sloon It IS within the range of possibilities that | the new skipper may replace some of the crew of Shamrock with sailors taken from ] the 2S-meter boat Captain Diaper has | a well trained crew which has shown 1 finely in the trial races.with the Shamrock off Sandy Hook.
 The two cup race yachts lay quietly at anchor Tn the Horseshoe today and. the crews remained at their quarters in their tender. A smart 1S-knot southwestern sung III the rigging, causing much lamentation among the sailormen that such wind never seemed to prevail on race days
