that I have never seen a rig better

The drillers are having some trou-

the Hardy well, because, after the

The drill will enter hard strata, which
cannot be drilled with the ordinary

In reference to the size of the hole
there can be, of course, some differ

casing and everything else is taker
into consideration, l believe that MIR
Snodgrass and the drillers under him

seen fit to criticize the drilling opera

the Chinese nation is divided into
two armed camps with Prest Hsu
Shih-shang at Picking ruling-more
or iess-the northern districts, and
q national parliamentary legislature
sitting at Canton and dominating
the southern provinces. a miniature
civil war Is being waged in Shang-
hal between the Chinese taxpayers
and the British rules OF the interna-
tiOnal settlement
While the armies Of north and
south China refuse % spill any blood
and form mutual admiration soCie-
ties every time fhey are drawn up
in battle array. some real fighting
and a number OF deaths have re-
suited from the clash between the
natives and the police representing

followed rioting and death that was
an outgrowth OF the Shantung sit

by the students unions. The appli-
CatlOn8 were QtCtQeQ against DE the
municipal council, consisting Of six
British. two Americans and one
japanese. several weeks before the
matter was made public. Chinese
merchants and political leaders got
wind OF the secret decision OF the
council and forced an acknowledge
ment that the ruling had been
made.
Then the shopkeepers quietly
closed their stores and refused 10
pay their taxes. About SO OF them
were arrested and went TO prison
while the police Of the revenue de-
partment seized goods 10 meet the
tax levy. When they appeared for
trial before British Assessor Grant
Jones he told the merchants they
were "rOgues."
The strike Of the shopkeepers
stirred the municipal council into
action and negotiations were begun
with Dr. Fong and other leaders.
representing so guilds with a
membership OF millions OF business
men. AS a result the strike was
called off and il was agreed that
the taxes should be paid under pro-
test pending a conference and bal
lot to be taken at the annual meet
ing of the taxpayers to be held in
