China in their campaigns to open
the country for foreign trade, a
process that was marked with fire.
auent clashes with the Chinese gov
ernment. the imposing of indemni-
ties and the acquiring of conces-
sions.
Great Britain got the first grant
OF Chinese territory. 1t was in aS42
as result of the so-called opium
war" whereby the island of Hong
king became crown COLONY.
France seconded the war)opera tions
of the British and gained consider
able prestige and footing. without
actually acquiring grants of land
at this time.
Russia during these years had en-
oroached from the north OF the
Amur region of Manchuria and from
the northwest of Chinese Turkestan.

United States. but the cession was
never accepted until in 1898 when
the Germans were seizing islands on
every hand, at time when the
United States was at war with
Spain, Congress suddenly decided to
make the islands a part of this gov
ernment. So far as the United
States is concerned there is no dis
position to relinquish control here,
nor indeed has there been any sug-
gestions that she do so.
Acquire Philippines.
The Philippines were acquired
by conquest as a result of the war
with Spain in 1898. Since then this
government has adopted a policy OF
helpfulness in lettering the living
conditions of the natives. and has
promised to grant the Filipinos
their independence when in the
opinion of this government they are
sufficiently advanced. An amicable
adjustment of the requirements Of
expedite this step.
The other important island pos
session not directly involved in
cessions from China to Japan Is
New Guinea. This was divided be-
tween Holland. Great Britain and
Germany in 1885. Counting Austria
liza as a continent New Guinea is
the largest island in the world with
the exception of Greenland. This
division OF the island remained as
it was until the treaty of Versailles
when the German portion was ceded
to Australia.

war with Japan and subsequent
peace settlements US94-S5) had
far-reaching results. 1t provided a
way for Russia to expand her in
terests IN Manchuria as friend Of
China and buffer against Japan, by
which Russia eventually found an
outlet to the sea. 1t also involved
China in all the complexities Of
foreign loans, as she had to turn to
foreign powers to pay the indem-
nity demanded by the Japanese.
France and Russia advanced a loan
Of 4OO,000,000 francs and Great
Britain and German bankers ad-
vanced 100000 pounds sterling
each. The maritime customs of
China were to be the security for
this latter loan, so the British de-
manded Of the Chinese that the col
lector general of customs should be
British subject as long as Great
Britain held the greater part of the
Chinese trade.
At about the same time the
powers turned their eyes on the
Islands in the Pacific with a view
of fortifying and using them as
bases for their naval operations.
In 1898 a similar ambition directed
the powers to seize upon some of
China's most important ports and
fortify them. Germany was the
first country to acquire land in this
way.
Germany Comes In.
Two missionaries of German ma
tIonality were murdered by Chi
nest mob in Western ShantunI in
1897. As part or the reparations
Germany demanded and received a
leasehold on Kiachow, which in

High grades are moving much bet
ter than low grades, but the indus
trial demand is improving and there
is some call for the lower grades. Elk
cessively high freight rates, however,
practically preclude shipment Of low
grade lumber, especially hardwoods.
For example,, a Louisiana hardwood
manufacturer recently shipped a car
load Of low grade hardwood to an in
dUstrial consumer il the Chicago dis
trict, and, after the freight was de-
Quoted, he realized just S7.65 for the
entire carload. Another Louisiana
hardwood manufacturer shipped a
similar carload of low grade stock to
st. Louis, Mo-, and after paying the
freight, found that he had left about
ST q thousand to cover the cost Of the
standing timber, the cost Of logging,
manufacturing, selling and all the
overhead expenses incident to pro
ducing lumber.

practice to saw their logs so that APP
proximately two-thirds are cut into
yard stock sold by retailers, while the
balance Of the log is cut for indus
trial trade. To large extent lum-
Der produced SO far this season mas
been sawn in the same way, although
decidedly more than two-thirds Of the
demand has been from retailers; thus
the supply of yard stock carried over
the first of the year by the lumber
manufacturers has been steadily
drawn upon and such stocks are now
badly broken, resulting in retailers
experiencing difficulty in placing
mixed orders. These facts of the sit
uation are especially important now
because of the steadily increasing de-
mand which is calling not alone for
yard stock, but for many of the
grades and sizes of lumber ordinar-
lily used by such large industrial con-
sumers as the railroads.

More Accidents Occur
AT Dangerous Corner

Two more accidents occurred at
the corner of Austin street and Ala
bama avenue last week, and while
they were not Of a serious nature, it
ran the total number of accidents at
this corner to an alarming point and
it is only a question of time until a
more serious accident will occur, un-
less some precaution is taken.
If driver going north keeps to the
right of the street, near this corner,
he is almost certain to have a COLI
sion. If he keeps to the left he will
be on the wrong side of the street
and responsible for damages in the
event of an accident. Most drivers
take a chance of paying the bills.
A "turn-to-the-right" post in the
middle of Austin street would tend
to eliminate the danger and prohibit
cars from parking too near the cor
ner would also lessen the danger.

CREDIT SHOULD GO
TOT. A. SPEKENHIER

For the last year a majority of the
automobile owners have complained
about the speeding on BogaIusa-
Franklinton highway, and this men
ace grew to such an extent that ii
was not safe for a man to drive on
this roadway with his family. At the
last meeting of the police jury an or
dinance was passed with a severe pen
atty for violators of the speed limit.
Investigation shows that j. A..
Spekenhier, chairman of the Good
Roads Committee of the Bogalusa
Chamber of Commerce, was response
BILE for calling the attention of the
police jury to the necessity of such
and ordinance and having it passed.
Evidently there are quite a few
auto drivers who are not acquainted
with the new law, for there were
many cars exceeding the speed limit
on the highway last Sunday.

GATES AT CROSSING
ALMOST COMPLETED

Within a week or ten days the
gates at the railroad crossing on
Fourth street will be ready for SER
vice and will, it is believed, eliminate
all danger. The gates viii be cleo

built fer the gateman who will be
able to see approaching trains re-

There have been several serious
accidents at this crossing and a few
months ago a flagman was placed on
duty, but some accidents have oc-
CURED since. With the new system
it VIII be necessary for vehicles to
run through the gates before getting
in the way of the train, in which
event there will be no one to blame
but the driver, providing the gates
are lowered in ample time.

Meat Workers
And Packers In
Fight to Finish
Both Sides Laying Plans
for Strike of En1-
ployees Which Has Been
Called for Tomorrow
Court Issues Injunction
Plant Assemblies Compris-
ing Operators and Men
Try to Stop Walk-Out

CHICAGO, Dec. "a fight to the
finish between the "big five" packers
and the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen of North. Amer
lea was in prospect to-day as each side
virtually finished its plans for the
strike of union packing house employ
ecs ordered to begin Monday. Union
leaders say $4,000 men in plants in
fifteen cities will walk out.
The packers to-day posted notices
that employees who go out on strike
will lose their jobs and also advertised
for men to take the places of strikers:
The union officials indicated they had
no intention of receding from the stand
taken when they advised packing
house workers in Kansas City, Kan,
to disregard orders of the Kansas
Court of Industrial Relations to ap-
pear before it. The Court of Industrial
Relations issued subpGnas to-day for
the officers of the Kansas City locals.
Later in the day the Kansas court
issued temporary order restraining
either the packers or the union from
taking any action whatever. This con-
stitutes virtual injunction against
the strike in the State of Kansas, it
was asserted.
Plant assemblies, the organization
composed of packer and workmen rep
resentatives, by which the packers pro-
pose to settle all questions affecting
employees, held meetings to-day in sew
cral cities and i issued statements
advising the workmen to leave all
questions of wages and working con-
ditions to these organizations.
The packe- expressed confidence
that the w )ut would not seriously
affect pro 4 Jon. asserting that few
men would follow the union orders and
that tie unions strength is not suffi-
cient to cripple the industry. The
union has contended that majority
of the packing house employees are
unionized.
While union officials have asserted
that peaceful picketing will be car
ried out beginning Monday morning at
s O'Clock, more than two hundred po-
licemen to-day were assigned to re
serve duty in the stockyards distric t
by Chief of Police Fitzmorris. who
stated he believed this number of men
will be able to deal with any disorders
that may arise
