CHINA REPUDIATES
B0LSHEvISM RuMOR,
M0NARCHISM TREND
fBy Associated Press)

PEKING, Dec. 24.-Neither Bolshe-
vism nor monarchism has a chance in
China today, in the opinion of DR..
Phillip Tyau,- assistant under-secre
tary in the foreign office. unofficially
expressed to the Associated Press.
Or. Tyau, who Is a student OF inter-
national law, refutes erroneous re-
ports and inspired statements of a
damaging nature which have been cir
culated recently both in China and
abroad. and which not only have mis-
led public opinion but have serious
repercussion on trade" He writes as
fellows:
"The reports which are most per
sistent. are precisely those which are
most ili-founded One is that a mon
.archial restoration has actually oc-
scurred or is imminent; another that
the country not only offers an at
stractive field for Bolshevism but that
Tn fnsidious and far-reacfing campaign
of propaganda is acutely raging, which
may engulf the nation.
Disclose Ignorance.
Both reports disclose singular ig-
norance of existing conditions and of
the whole trend Of Chinese thought.
The factors which led to the abdica-
ton of the Manchu dynasty nearly q
decade ago are not only operative to-
day. but have been made hundred
fold more powerful by natural develop
ment and by the march of events
Throughout the world. 1t may be said
generally that the people at largo are
so completely accustomed TO the re-
publican idea that the conception Of
a hereditary ruler seems to belong to
a remote past.
As for Bolshevist doctrines, China
probably is the last country in the
world that need fear what is the night
mare of other nations. Not only is
the land all divided and tightly held in
small parcels by title deed among tens
of millions of cultivators who COM
prise seven-tenths of the population.
but capitalism in the European sense,
is virtually absent. It,
Chinese society, with its ancient col
lectivist structure, indeed offers such
a serious challenge to MARKHAM COM
munism that the practice of the latter
seems both retrograde and element
airy. Contact with Bolshevist elements
along an open frontier thousands of
miles in length, and the continued
presence of large Chinese trading COM
munities in Russian towns-when all
other foreigners have disappeared
tend to prove that the Chinese are
immune and alone of all nations can
hold their own in competition with
sovietism.

so soon.
In some factories the output rises
until Friday, but among the less skill
ed workmen it was found that Thurs.
day was the best working day.
An important consideration which
the investigators kept in mind was
that of the atmospheric condition in
which work is done. Records of the
air conditions have been taken with
the output records.
In various plants the Saturday out
put was so low that employers found
it improbable to operate, so they
closed their establishments on that

hYourr
Years

You were taught at school
that your body undergoes a
complete change of structure
every seven years.
This tearing down and build
ing up process of body tissue
continues without a moments
pause throughout life.
And when a man gets into a
physical condition that the It's
sues keep breaking down and
wasting away faster than Ma
ture can replace them, right
then he begins to grow odd.
This doesn't necessarily
mean, however, that he has
reached an advanced age.
Thousands upon thousands of
people begin to break down,
their vital organs giving evil
dence of fast approaching de-
cay, long before they reach
middle age simply because
they fail to give Nature, at
the proper time, the needed
help to rebuild.
Ifyou are beginning to show
the slightest sign of a physical
'let-down"-if you are losing
your old time "pep" vim and
vigor-if high tension energy
and nervous strain are begin
ming to tell on you-it's a sure
sign that you are growing cold"

reached that stage where your
vital forces need rebuilding.

that about three hundred were in line.

FOUND ON RIVER BANK, DIES IN
SALOON.

An unidentified white man, ap-
parently about so years old. died
at $50 p. m. Saturday in the sa-
loon at 113 Delaronde street, where
he was brought after being found
in an unconscious condition on the
river embankment.
1t is believed death was due to
acute Indigestion or poisoning. A
box of sausage was found lying
near the body. Several had been
eaten.
A bank book in the dead mans
possession and a clinic ticket made
out from the Charity Hospital in
dictate that he was Thomas Beat
ly, of Buras, La. He was dressed
like working man and is about
five feet nine inches tall. He ap-
parently weighed about $50 pounds.
Numerous papers were found in
the pockets of the dead man but
none positively established his iden-
tity. The initials "E. D." were in
scribed in his hatband.
The body was discovered by John
Tranchina, 155 Delaronde street,
and Fl. Wagner of POI Pelican Ave.
at 6:15. The aged man died about
Is minutes later.

CHURCH BUYS
BUILDING SIGHT
$4,000 PAID FOR CORNER OPE.
LOUSAS AVE. and SEGUIN ST.
CHURCH WILL COST
ABOUT $4,000.

Through the purchase of a building
site, the Baptist Church makes its en-.
try into Algiers and will establish its
new edifice at the corner of Opelousas
avenue and Seguin street, the site
which was formerly purchased to erect
the w. o. w. Home.
The erection of this new church and
the purchase Of the ground was made
possible through the funds received
by the great Baptist Drive for seven
ty five million dollars a few months
ago. ..---.- -.-.,-.-.....
Rev. r. T. Mcleod, now residing at
ll4O Eighth street, in the city, will be
the minister of this new congregation.
The purchase price of the ground
was $4,000. representing a top price for
vacant real estate in Algiers. How
ever, the price paid was not large, con-
sidering that it is one Of the best loca-
tons on this side of the river. The
new church will represent an outlay of
about twenty 10 twenty-five thousand
dollars or more.
The Baptists have been holding
mission under Rev. Mcleod at the
Pythian Hall for some time and we
are quite sure that when the new
church is built they will have con-
gregation sufficiently large to be rec.
ognized as an active congregation.
