state their case to their fellow del

ChIna's Internal Disorders.
However, one OF the extremely
grave dangers confronting the Chi
nese delegation is the possibility
that the various revolutions now
going on throughout China MAJ
force the hands Of certain nations
In several districts serious disor-
ders are reported, while the army
nominally loyal TO Sun Vat Sen and

The existing government of China
that centralized at Pekin-is fac
ing bankruptcy and up to the pres
ent has been unable to settle its de-
faulted debt to Chicago bankers
The Chinese delegates have declared
that they will insist that China work
out her own salvation and. while
admitting the various disorders, say
that this Is simply the elimination
Of the economic crisis and certain

They may he right. But certain
OF the delegates here. and they are
not all Japanese, fear that interna-
tional Joint action may at any time
be forced by internal revolution in
China that will involve the lives and
porperty Of foreigners That Is an
other reason why suggestion OF a
program for China by the United
states might be received with great
favor by the delegations. We have
interests in the Orient, vast inter-

as are those OF the other nations,
And a straight-from- the-shoulder
suggestion might be of great help

No Hurried Decisions.

A FINAL. APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE
TENSAS.

Please understand me in this ap-
peal. I know that every one is in dire
distress as far as money is concerned,
- am one Of you and am in the
same boat, but this is a matter Of
such great importance not only to the
sufferers but to you and me.
The sale Of Christmas seals il
closed and l am sorry to have to say
that Tensas did not come near her
quota.
I am told that there is a little
child with tuberculosis in our parish
whose parents have a large family and
are poor and they want this little
sufferer placed in some place where
it can be cured.
Can we ask any thing after our
indifference? l do not think we have
right to ask a thing.
The State League asked me for a
report OF the Seal Sales. i nave 70
make it, but will hold hack a report
on Wind Shields Stickers The price
of these stickers is not half of their
value. They are travelling advertise
ment Of the cause. / wish every auto
mobile in the parish had one on the
wind shields.
Won't every owner Of a car buy
one for the cause Of humanity? The
price is only one dollar and l know
that the dollar spent in this way will
not be missed. / feel sure that have
q right to sign my name As.
Yur friend truly,

Lieutenant lie Strange was snalyzing

Of 81 ,S06, ,1S1.
In explaining handicaps under which
the police and detectives arc working,
Lieutenant Ic Strange said the great
est difficulty was that presented by
owners who deliberately have their cars
stolen so they can collect insurance.
"Cnless universal rule or law is
applied so that each automobile owner
will suffer through the theft of a car,
said the lieutenant, II do not know
what is going to become Of the police in
fighting the real theft of cars.
'More than half the reported thefts
arc committed with full consent of the
