they have won now, as they have ever
since 1911, and dimmed the one hope
that shines through the depressing
gloom of China.
Still Sun Yat-sen's impossible dreams
have come true before. This one may
also. The fact remains that whatever
hope there is for China's emergence
from chaos hes here in Canton. mex
perienced, callow, misguided, whatever
may be said of these men here, their
impulses are right. That cannot be
said of the governing caste in Peking.
These may not be the individuals who
ultimately win out in China, but it will
inevitably be men of their school.

Milan Expenses Doubled

of Red Rule
From q Snecial Correspondent

MILAN, June 1.-Since about year
ego the Socialists have succeeded in
gaining the majority of the Milan
municipal elections. Within a year ex-
penses nearly doubled and the gov
ernment had to interfere to prevent
unlawful taxation. Not only were the
salaries OF the Socialist employees,
fremen, car drivers and street sweep
ers doubled and trebled, but favoritism
also extended to former army deserters

cause experience has proved TO Pro-
fessor Mcmillan that it is superior in
Arctic work. She is of the knockabout
schooner rig, having an auxiliary power
engine of the crude oil type and of
forty-fve horsepower. Her tanks will
carry 5000 gallons of crude oil and 500
gallons of kerosene oil. This is suf-
ficisnt to give 500 hours sailing under
power, which is equal to 1000 miles
cruising. Professor Mcmillan is of the
opinion that it will be possible to use
whale oil in the engine and will make
experiments to determine this. Should
this prove correct the power cruising

incs~ased, for is will be comparatively

with whale oil in the Arctic region.
When the Bowdoin sails for the
North Professor Mcmillan will have
a sextant presented to him by the peo-
pie of Wiscasset, Me-, where he has
passed much time during his life. The
vessel will have supplies for two years,

complete his work and return in about

WV T HEN Professor Donald B. Nc
W. MILAN sails from Portland
early in July for two years
exploration voyage in the
Arctic regions it will be in a ship
which is radical departure from any
polar craft of the last fifty years. His
vessel, named Bowdoin, in honor of his
alma mater and for the college alumni
who are financing the voyage, is
cockieshell of vessel. She is only SO
feet 10 inches in length, has a depth
of, only feet and 6 inches. and is 10
feet and inches wide.
This smallness creates curiosity in
all who see the vessel here while it is
being rugged and put in readiness for
the departure. "How can such craft
live in the polar ice? ?" they ask the ex
plorer, who is giving his personal at
tention to the preparation of the Bow
doin.
He smiles and answers: "Whv. if
could carry the supplies necessary for
this trip l would go in a fisherman's
dory and be sure of success-a canoe
would be even better"
Professor Mcmillan is not talking
theory when he says this, for his words
are the result of judgment based upon
many years of work in the north Arc
tic zone. Although a young man, he
has made number of voyages to the
north. He was with Admiral Pearv
when that explorer made his success
ful dash to the pole and has himself
made several important discoveries in
the North. His 5o0-mile exploration
trip along the coast of Labrador gave
to the world much valuable informa-
tion concerning that land. That trim
was made in a canoe.

Ancient Wall Demo,ished;
Roads Supplant Narrow Lanes
One need only get off the small river
boat from Hong Kong TO see signs of
great change in Canton. There is
something of the atmosphere of new
mining town superimposed on an
ancient city.
The city wall has been torn down,
Around the labyrinth OF narrow lanes
that have been the city's only streets
for centuries is belt of newly made
broad roads. It is possible now to ride
in motor cars as well as sedan chairs.
Inside the city houses and shops are
being torn down to make new thor
oughfares where the streets have been
from eight to twelve feet wide. Old
temples are being made over for
schools and charitable institutions.
Plans are being drawn for river con-
servancy, land reclamation and a new
harbor. True, ambitious and high
sounding plans have been made in
under way here are blithely indifferent
to the feelings of the mass of the Chi
nese people. who don't particularly
want change, but now, at least in Can
ton, the plans are being made by men
who sincerely want TO carry them out
and have begun to do so.
Here, in short, is Young China work
ing in it's native habitat, working
therefore at its best-and its worst
1t is not the Young China that was
decade ago. Failure has taught it
much. Disillusionment has been it's
portion for ten years. 1t repeats now
less confidently the glib old formulas
/ 1t has begun to realize that to put con-
stitutions on paper, call parliaments
and make the chief executive presi-
! dent and not king does not make a
republic. 1t has begun to realize that
e changeover of whole system touch
/ ing the bases Of race culture is neces-
sary.
But there is still dangerous, some
times ludicrous, fidelity to phrases.
There is still some OF the arid inrita-
tiveness of American forms superficial
| ly learned in American colleges, forms
growing out of American condi-
tions and impossible to apply in
| China. There is an unwillingness
TO realize the meaning of the DRIFT of
events in China in the last few years,
the meaning of the complete national
disintegration and the overpowering in
! fuence of Japan. The elaborate preoc-
cupation with the technique of revolu-
tions overshadows all considerations of
actualities in China. For the question
is no longer whether or not there shall
be constitutionalism in China, but
whether or not there shall be any such
political entity as China at all.
This attitude is responsible for the
divergence of view that has made a
considerable cleavage among the Can
tonese leaders. Two alternative policies
have been before them. One is to
recognize that Kwangtung Province
stands alone and can make no pretense
Of being a national government, and,
recognizing that, to concentrate on the
provincial reconstruction program.
That is, to set up for the first time
in China an honest, efficient, model
provincial government which by con-
trsst with the chaos and corruption of
the rest of the country will draw other
provinces into the fold and serve as
a nucleus of a new national govern
ment.

His is the temperament of the revo-
lutionary, and it is the technique of
revolutions he has mastered. And now
that the situation in China has passed
beyond the stage of revolution to that
of construction, he cannot change
either his temperament or the methods
that have become second nature to him.
He thinks in terms of provisional gov
ornments, constitutions, extraordinary
sessions of parliament and the like.

Government Has Abolished
Public Fantan Houses

Some beginning has been made con-
cretely. In the first place, licensed
gambling has been abolished. The
public fantan houses, picturesque
sights to tourists, but curse to the
poor Of the city, have been closed,
meaning loss of several million dol
lars In revenue every year to gov
eminent which cannot make both ends
meet. A municipal government has
been established in Canton itself, the
hrst of it's kind in China. A commits
sion form Of government has been set
up, with "a municipal council which Is
to be elected by popular vote. Regis
tration has been in progress since
have been here.
At the head of the city government
is group of American educated young
men, all of them with special training
for their Offices. To get an idea o.
their plans was invited to lunch with
them at sort of tifRn club which
meets daily at one of Canton's famous
old restaurants. We met at 1890. At

Trip Planned to Explore
Coast Line of Baff1n's Land

Professor Mcmillan is making this
trip to explore the coast line of Baf-
fms Land, discovered in 1916 by Baf-
fin. 1t is an interesting coincidence
that the ship in which Bafin first
visited that region was OF the exact
dimensions of the Bowdoin.
Accommodations are provided on the
Bowdoin for crew of six men. Every
man will be an expert in some line
geology, mineralogy, natural history,
botany or other science. But beyond
that they must ali know how to hunt and
fish and be able to take care of them
selves under all conditions. "Their
lives or that of companion may de-
pend upon their ability to shoot game,
catch fish and to prepare it once it has
teen obtained" says Professor McMil-
Ian.
The construction of the ship is like
that of the largest fve-masted schooner
ahoat, and then, to make her more
solid, she has been given fve-foot

as result, explains Professor McMil-
Ian, when caught in the ice the Bow
doin will be raised up out of harna's
way instead of being crushed, as have
been so many of her predecessors Com
menting upon this feature of the Bow
doin in connection with her smallness
of size, Professor Mcmillan says: "Did
you ever watch great crowd of people
"a jam? If you have you have noticed
that small men do not get crushed The
crowd lifts them off their feet and out
of harms way; that is the result l
expect with the Bowdoin when she is
caught in the ice packs"

HELD OVER
AMERICAN PEERLESS

The death of Lady Randolph
Churchill on juno 20 brought to a
close the career of the American
woman who has figured most promi-
nently in British social and political
life.
She was the daughter of the late
Leonard Jerome of New York and
married Lord Randolph Churchill, sec
ond son of the seventh Duke of MARI
borough and one of England's mos;
influential political leaders of his day
in 1874.
From the time of her marriage she
took keen interest in political af-
fairs. This interest did not cease with
the death of Lord Randolph Church
ILL., in 1895. and her influence upon
the career of her son, Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill. Secretary of State fol
The Colonies. has been generally set
down as of no small Importance
Lady Randolph Churchill was thrice
married, her second marriage occur
ring in 1900 to Lieut.. George Corn
wallis-West, her junior by many
years. They were divorced in 1914,
CORVALLIS West at once marrying
Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the actress.
Her third marriage occurred in 1918
to Montagu Porch, British army of
ficer.
An inquest was held as to the cause
of death which Winston Churchill tes-
tilted how his mother had met with
an accident a month ago which nee
essitated having her leg amputated
Last Wednesday a sudden, suffused
hemorrhage began due to the main
artery giving way near the point of
amputation. Death was due to col
lapse in syncope following the hem
orrhage.
Lady Randolph Churchill was 81
years old at the time of her death.

''DOUGHBOYS" ON THE
RHINE NOT ANXIOUS
TO COME BACK HOME

Our soldiers on the Rhine don't
want to come home. Many of them
insist on re-enlisting. and as it is the
policy of the War Department not 70
refuse re-enlistment of men with good
records the practice is proving en-
lutte necessity of reducing the strength
OF the army TO the size decreed by
Congress.
The number of officers in the Am
erican Army of Occupation has been
reduced to that required for a force
of about $500 enlisted men. but the
enlisted strength in Germany remains
at about $4,000. The original inten-
on the Rhine of about approximately
5000
Secretary Weeks explained ii was
expected that the enlisted force on
the Rhine would be reduced to about
$500 by July 1. whom the reduction
of the army must begin, but there
has been a general inclination shown
by the doughboys over there to re-
main in Germany.
With few exceptions. he said, men
have applied for re-enlistment. Those
who desire to return are. for the most
part. soldiers who have married Ger
man women and do not care to re-
enlist
There has been IAN epidemic" of
these marriages. the Secretary said
While some weeks no marriages Of
American soldiers and German women
are reported score or more take
place in other weeks. and the general
average is high enough TO keep
pretty steady stream of soldiers with
their wives and babies coming to the
United States

TOMATO PRICES DUE
FOR DROP SATURDAY

The day of the high-priced tomato
is at an end for this season.
Instead OF buying them in market
at the rate of three or four for a
quarter. and getting very poor and
tasteless tomatoes at that, the con-
sumer will, probably by Saturday. be
buying them by the quarter-peck and
paying 20 and % cents for that
amount
That is. 20 or % cents a quarter
peck would be fair price TO pay
That would mean from so cents TO 81
a peck, and would yield the retailer
approximately 100 per cent profit.
The reason for the drop that ought
TO take place in prices is the fact tina:
tomatoes now are coming in in guam
titles from Coan river, in Northum-
herland county. Virginia. and even
from Anne Arundel county.
The Coan river tomatoes were ripe,
while those from Anne Arundel were
green. They are picked that way
and allowed to ripen of the vines
They are not so good when picker
green and rirened afterwards, but the
earliest tomatoes in market are al.
ways picked and shipped in the greer
state. Except for the fact that they
are green, the Anne Arundel toma-
toes are much better than those from
Coan river and other Virginia points
They are smoother. firmer and larger
but both the local and the Virgins
tomatoes are much better than those
which have been selling in market
for three and four for a quarter.
