BANDITS CONTROL
One OF CHINA'S
BEST PROVINCES
Large Stretches of Fertile
Land Going to Waste,
Report Says.

SHANGHAI. May S.-Szeiliuen,
most pOpulous of China's provinces
with extensive and varied resources
and almost unlimited areas Of soil
OF the greatest productivity. is ban
lt-ridden and is torn with the
strife OF five opposing governing fac
uons that seemingly are beyond the
control of the Canton government
10 which SZechuen is supposed TO
pay allegiance. This is the report
brought to Shanghai by foreigners
who have recently been travelling in
tho province.
The country along all the main
highways, according to these re-
ports. is overrun with bands of
armed outlaws and it is only pos
sible for the foreigners 10 travel
these bywayS in any degree of safety
by first buying protection and i'm
muntty from mOlcStatiOn from ban
dit leaders who control the various
areas. When the traveller asks for
an armed guard this is provided
for consideration. This guard
must be changed when the traveller
enters the area controlled by an
other military official.
Nayfarcr il Safe.
BY following this procedure.
travellers from the province say, the
wayfa-er is ordinarily safe, but il
happens sometimes that the spheres
Of control of the leaders overlap
and travellers who have sought pro-
lection in one area are at times at
tackled by bandits whose leaders
have not been appeascd.
The consideration required 10 pro-
vide q guard for a traveller is not
particularly heavy. as il is said TO
be about 80 cents day per guard.
Ordinarily travellers who do fall in
TO the hands of outlaws do not suffer
bodily harm. but il is not uncommon
for native servants 10 be murdered
and cases exist in which foreigners
have been taken and held far ran

BY JOHN J. CARSON.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Indicat-
ing that there will be many days
wasted in debate, such as marked
consideration OF the peace treaty in
the upper chamber. the senate be-
gan discussion Of the Knox separate
peace resolution with a speech by
its author Of some $4,000 or more
words.
Sen. Knox consumed columns or
the Congressional Record attempt
ing to prove the Constitutionality
and effectiveness of his resolution to
declare the war at an end and estab-
fish peace Democratic speakers as
Sert the resolution is neither consti-
tutiOnal nor effective, and that peace
may only be established by the ne
gOtiation and ratification Of a peace
treaty
One Of the embarrassing things
senate republicans must face all
through the peace resolution debate
IS n statement made by the G.. o. p.
floor leader in December, 1918. long
before the party had decided to Of
fer a peace resolution" as a substi-
tute for a regularly negotiated trea-
~. At that time, Sen. Lodge prob
ably never believed his words would
arise more than a year later TO dis
pute the republican contention that
1t is possible to make peace separ-
ately by resolution
Calls separate Peace" Crime.
But the administration forces have
called attention to a statement by
Sen. Lodge. now leader of the senate
majority wherein he asserted that It
would be a crime" to negotiate a
separate peace.
Writing in The Forum magazine
in December. 1918. Sen. Lodge said:
THE president who delivered the
war message and the congress who
voted for war would be guilty of the
blacklist crime If they were willing
to make peace on the status quo
ante bellum, and recreatc the situa-
ton which existed before the war.
If we send our armies and our young
men abroad to he killed and wound
ed in northern France and Flanders
with no result but this, our entrance
into the war with such an intention
was a crime which nothing can just
ify The intent OF congress and the
intent Of the president was that
there could be no peace until we
could create a situation where no
such war as this could recur. We
cannot make peace except in COM
pany with our allies. 1t would brand
MS with everlasting dishOnor and
bring ruin to us also If we undertook
to make a separate peace"
boomerang For Convention.
No stronger argument, perhaps.
against the Knox peace resolution
will be offered by democratic Oppon-
ents Of the measure than that fur
nished more than year ago by Sen.
Lodge said IL would be dishOnorable

with Germany and that peace could
only be made by the United States

Boys Seek Hidden Treasure
 On Banks of Black Warrior
By GEORGE H. WATSON

Two Birmingham boys, Paul T. (Tram) Sessions and Yancey Goodall, figure in treasure hunt on the Black Warrior river that reads like a Stevenson story of romance and ad- venture.
 Twenty-Five thousand dollars in gold and silver is said to be located on the Black Warrior at a spot near Lock i7. and was hidden during the Civil war by Federal soldier. pr. George Little of Tuscaloosa has a map giv- ing the exact location and surround ings of the treasure.
 These are the high lights of the in- formation that the two Birmingham boys and Dr. Little possess that caused them to set out in a boat from Tusca- loosa few days ago for Lock IT. They carried with them camp SUD- plies and a kit of tools consisting of picks, spades and other implements.
 Here is the chance way in which 1t was learned that the money is hidden on the banks of the arrior. A certain lady living in Tuscaloosa was visiting in Indiana. She stopped at a small town hotel An old bewhiskered man was the hotel clerk. When he saw that the lady registered from Tusca- loosa, Ala, he almost had a fit, ac- cording to the words of the lady"
 "Sakes life, lady, said the old

 That's another matter entirely"
 "Ah knows hit capen, ah shore does. An done hired CT cook las week, an when nah wife foun hit out she raised de biggest fuss"
 Was that all she raised.
 "Nossah, she raised d knot on mah haid bigger ner CT goose aig wifi CT stick CT stove wood, an she raised dat cook outen CT chair wifi de hair of her haid an run her outen de house. and de las time ah saw dat ooman she war httin' it lickerty split down de road an from de way she started ah reckon she's run uin' yet''
 Woolsey laughed and told the darky that he could not issue the permit de- sired and suggested that he make up with his wife and settle the matter that way.
 "Boss, yo means well. but yo' don { wussah. an hit shore has been wussah She are a reg'lar dawg in CT manager. She raised cain all de time ah lived wifi her an she raises de debbel when ah aint.

flight and used for Gods purposes. He desires that you and I should have that frame of mind that will use ev trything in life for Him
 Paul gives the reason why hls prayer was not answered. If a prayer Is not answered directly there Is al- ways reason. What a world this would be if all prayers were an swered! Babies with razors in their hands, men of greed and sin holding nigh offices, unsteady women and with beauty enough to wreck another Troy. unprepared people suddenly made rich a world without pain, return to the jelly fish age when there was no spine, east without character!
 But behind the prayer stands the man. Gods answer goes through the prayer to the prayer The man Is al- ways answered Prayer is the very expression of his soul to be ,trone to be sympathN to be brave, to un derstand. to discover that open road into that mystical region of things which he was sent to find, to know God and to be like Him whom we love though we have not seen.
 After all the great thing is to learn out of prayer and out of all Iifo now to know Him better and trust Him more. Do you think you are believ ing God more" That is the only i'm proVement that Is coming out of the life or today.
