SOUTHWESTERN DIVISION
IS HARD HIT THIS YEAR

The SOuthwes 'ern Division, so ex-
ceplIonally hard hit these last three
years by disaster of various kinda
had fine exhibition of Chapter pre-
paredness in the recent Central
Texas flood, according TO informa-
tion given out at the Headquarters
of the Southwestern Division at St.
Louis.
When the Brazos river started
rising and floods seemed imminent,
the Division Disaster Relief Director
was notified and as soon as it was
found necessary to send relief,
night letter was sent tO Chapters in
the vicinity of the flooded district
hut outside Of the flood area. The
call asked for clothing principally,
and in less than seven hours in one
case and twelve hours in others,
supplies were on their way.
Dallas replied at p. NJ. follow
ing the call received in the morning,
that clothing was shipped Waco
not only responded to the first re-
quest hut sent a second supply Of
clothing. Houston sent 1888 gar
ments which had been cleaned and
Sterilized Other towns in the ad-
iacent territory sent more than
their quota within the next two
days, and the result was that by the
time a sufficient degree of order had
been created to look after the
stricken inhabitants of the flooded
area. there were supplies on hand
sufficient to meet all the needs Of
the situation.
A feature of this wonderfully
ready response, it is stated. was that
all the garments sent were usable
and were the type needed. This
showed that the Chapters sending
them considered the character of
the disaster and the conditions of
the people needing relief, making
their contributions accordingly. and
did not use the hit or miss" method
of collecting supplies so frequently
seen in eases of similar catastrOpheS.
The towns contributing TO this
particular flood, the statement dis
closes. in addition to those men
toned above, were Port Arthur, Jas
per, Huntsville, Jacksboro, Green
VILE, and Denton, Texas. and Ok
mulgce. Oklahoma The latter sent
its box of clothing containing sew
enty-fivc garments, voluntarily and
did not wait TO be called on by the
Division office.

IL was the Chinese delegates who
led the way this time. I'm the COM

participating were represented. they
produced a basis for discussion that

The open sympathy of the United

of China's bill Of rights
What China Wants
In brief, China wants guarantees

The AnglU-Japanese alliance is not

BY the same authority, 1t was said
consideration of Far Eastern ques-

hasis of the propositions submitted
today by the Chinese delegates. Top
les set out in the Chinese plan will
be- referred to experts.
While the British viewpoint is
that the Anglo-Japanesc alliance is
not Directly involved in any Of the
Chinese propositions submitted to
day The British would welcome an
agreement between the great pow
crs or even one limited to America,
Japan and Great Britain to replace

that there is need for some cooper

in the Far East i'm the interest of
peace and prosperity.
No proposition concerning read
