BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

With Washington abuzZ concerning
all manner Of direful possibilities that
would follow the breakdown of the
Japan's insistence that she will not
agree to any discussion of the twenty
one demands or the treaties arising
therefrom. there are anxious eyes turned
toward excited China. Looking across
to conditions there one finds the most
definite reinsurance In religion. For the
pivotal man in the present situation Is
a Christian, with Christian army that
is admitted to be the most efficient
single unit in all the Chinese armies.
Thus do foreign missions arise as
definite factor in the situation. Gen.
Feng Yu Hsiang. China's famous Chris
tuchun Of Shensi, and, what Is possibly
more important. he is a blood brother"
of his boyhood friend, Gen. WI Pei-fu,
admittedly the strongest man in the
present satuation within China proper.
The mighty ex-bandit. Chang Tso Ling.
has his bailiwick in Manchuria, although
he is really dominant at present in
Peking politics.
All the Chinese authorities among
the Americans in Washington agree
that were an issue to be drawn, Gems.
WI, Feng and Cheng. who rules the
Sun Vat Sen, could certainly over
master Gen. Chang. either in battle
or by popular support.
Rising in Power.
Latest advices from China report a
signal rise in the position and power
Of the Christian Gen. Feng. His army
numbers only ten thousand men, but
it is the most remarkable military or
ganization in China, and the most
fQo;o oct trlJ nf ifc
men are baptized Christians. Gen.
Feng himself breaches to his soldiers,
and something very much like re-
ligious revival has been reported
among them. The leaven Of Christian
teachings permeates the whole army
time. They are well equipped and
well cared for. Brigandage is put
down wherever they go. The mer<
chants petition for their retention.
whenever they move from place to
place. The Peking politicians have
but his own soldiers refuse to let him
go. And there is no force in China
strong enough to take on the Chris
tian army, especially since it is in
closest bonds with the great force OF
Gen. WI.
tian missionaries, who regard him as
perhaps their brightest and most
shining light So the interesting pos
sibility arises of the new nucleus of
a reorganized China being distinc-
lively Christian. The student body is
in considerable degree under foreign
missionary influence, and there are
not few of the gentry and bankers
who are baptized Christians. and
these are the men who are looked to,
along with the Wu-Feng-Chen mill
tary combination, to pull China to-
eether for the new era which it is
hoped this conference will start.
Not Regarded Lightly.
Only the uniformed regard lightly
the power of Christian missions in
China. For one thing, the American
interest in China as mission field
has undoubtedly been the FOREMOST
factor in keeping the country's needs

PARLEY SUCCESS VITAL
TO RELIGIOUS WORK

'aThat the success or failure Of the
Christian movement in the far east Is
inextricably bound up with the results
Of the international conference on lin
itation Of armament" is the keynote Of
the new pamphlet, entitled Problems
Of the Pacific and the Far East" issued
by the commission on international JUS
tice and good will Of the Federal Coun-
Gil Of The Churches.
Recalling that the churches are main
tanning in Japan a thousand Christian
missionaries and thirty-six hundred in
China, the document insists that 1t is
not too much to say that Christian in
terests In the Washington conference
far exceed in intrinsic and permanent
importance those Of all bankers, manu-
facturers and traders combined.
The pamphlet consists OF four sec
tions, dealing respectively with "China' 5
Problems" 'Europe's Far Eastern In
terests," "Japan's Problems" and
"America's Pacific and Far Eastern
Problem"

PUTS LIMIT ON DISARMING
Townsend Says Only Partial Re-
suits Will Ever Be Attained.


Doubt that complete disarmament
will ever be brought about was ex-
pressed by Senator Townsend in an
address before the Michigan State
Society 1t the Thomson School last
night.
II have every confidence that a
partial disarmament will be effected"
said the senator. but I doubt IL the
large nations should put themselves
in a position where they could not
offer aid or 60 to the assistance, Of
smaller and weaker nations"
Senator Townsend supported the
of armament proposal on
the basis Of its economic benefits, for,
he said, money used in building
battleships could be diverted to de-
velopment Of schools and the pur.

There is lady in Chicago who no

having relegated that legendary person
to the realm where the Santa Claus Of
her childhood days abides.
Thought Mistake Was Made.
One day recently the lady in ques-
ton had occasion to visit a drug store
in a neighborhood where there were
no wealthy people, the residents be-
ing small tradesmen, persons holding
clerical positions and professional peo'
pie in moderate circumstances.
While waiting to be served the lady
overheard another customer ask the
price of q bottle of toilet water and
express some surprise when told it
was SO. The capacity of the bottle
was about half pint.
On being asked if he had not made
a mistake and quoted the price Of a
bottle of perfume instead of toilet wa
ter, the clerk assured the customer
that the amount of perfume contained
in a. bottle. of the size in question would

Government statistics show that

Seer's Game Old.

Modern faddists who claim to have
invented the new wrinkles in mys-
ticism might bear in mind that In the
second and third centuries there were
many would-be sensationalists who
maintained regular schools in which
they taught tricks of the trade.
History recalls the names of Glenn
ems, Pantaenus and Origen as the
leading mystic schOolmasters of those
days. Alexandria was their head
quarters, and we are told that the
more matter-of-fact philosopher, who
also ram private colleges and class
rooms, occasionally branded the three
gentlemen referred to as quacks.
In the Middle ages Germany came
to the fore as a hotbed of mystic teach
ing. Eckhart, 1251 to- 1929, and John
Tauler of Strassburg, 1290-1361, were
the foremost opponents of mystic
thought. :.
Henry Souso of London and Birming-
ham, 1900 to 1865, absorbed enough
of these German teachings to spread
them In revised form throughout Eng

William 3. BOSwOrth, director of
sales for the government loan organ
ization of the Seventh Federal Re-
serve district, is a veteran of the gov
ernment's savings campaigns. Follow
ing a season in the offices of the saw
ings division at Washington, Mr.. BOs-
worth came to Chicago and linked up
with the big work that is being car
ried on in the five states of the Sew
enth Observation-Disclosures, Indiana, Wis
consin, Iowa and Michigan.
Mr.. Bosworth seeks distribution as
well as total Of sales Of the savings
securities, for he believes that every
man, woman and child in the pOpulOus
district should own one or more of
these securities.
"There is no better investment than
the savings securities" said Mr.. Bos-
worth recently, "and the various de-
nominations make it possible for all
the people to be practical partners
with Uncle Sam, at the same time
helping themselves. The government
savings contests arranged by many
states-all the states in the Seventh
district are booked up'-should result
in much good to the great savings
movement conducted by the United
States government. POStmasters who
are leading these contests may feel
sure that whatever the savings divi-
sion can do to help them win their
fights will be done gladly and earnest
ly. All they have to do is to write to
