TIENTSIN, PANORAMA
CITY

Tientsin, in the northeastern edge
of the terrible Chinese famine area,
in which millions of people are starv-
ing to death, is like a necklace of
towns strung together.
To walk about Tientsin is to travel.
An afternoons stroll from the native
TO the British, French, Italian, Russian
and other foreign quarters, gives the
sensation of a magic tour through
Picking, London, Paris, Rome and
Petrograd. And the windmills among
the salt mounds just outside the city
add a touch of Holland.
This panorama city has had tenn
pestuous history. There group OF
American and other foreign residents
Herbert C. Hoover among them
defended themselves for month
against the fanatic Boxers in 1900.
Since then the native city has been
known as Cheng-li, or Town without
Walls" because the ancient barriers
were demolished during the siege. VI
the 500 doughty foreigners more than
fifty were killed and many others
. wounded before military aid came.
Tientsin was the scene of another
famous siege. that of the Ialplng
rebels in 1853 Followers of Hung
Sin Tsuan, who had professed Chris
tianity and set himself up in Marking
as the Heavenly King" marched to-
ward Picking. But tie Waterloo OF the
"long haired rebels" so-called because
they could not plat their queues and
thus signify loyalty to the Manclus'
came at TientSin.
The success of the campaign against
the revolutionists was due principally
TO the gallant "Chinese Gordon, Gen.
Charles George Gordon, and his Ever
Victorious Army"
Commanding the native force at
Tientsin was Seng-ko-lin-sin, a Mongoi
general. who later distinguished NM
self less creditably. In 1860 he sought
TO defend Tientsin against foreign
expedition by erecting an immense
mud rampant outside the city. Tien-
tsin was captured and held Tor TWO
years by the British and French, ana
the crude defense is known In the
foreign quarters as "Seng-ko-lin-sin's
folly"

triangle of trade routes, with its sides
not penetrated by important steamship
lines. Within this isolated Pacific tri-
| angle are the Marshall islands.
| Before the war Sydney was reached
by steamer, a voyage of more than
5000 miles. The only other method Of
! esresS was steamer to POnaDe
which connected with a French line
| to Singapore.
Like two loosely strung chains of
| jewels, the islands stretch from north
west to southeast. each with its Ia
COON setting encased by a strangely
shaped circlet of coral, some like tri-
angles, harps and stirrups and one
outlining a bulls head with its horns
Straight haired, dark brown natives
| still preserving the religious signifi-
canoe of tattoo and taboo, are to be
faring people, for they were the best
mariners in the Pacific the white
mans coming, as in the case of his
advent among the Eskimo and the
Indian, did not seem wholly beneficial.
In teaching them ways to live more
easily civilization robbed them of that
holiness and adventure winch made
them the hardest of the MicrOneasian
peoples. Many of the young died of
tuberculosis
Sl1illful and fearless navigators, the
natives used bread-tree wood to make
;,,E saI
voyage for months. They devised
charts made of sticks, showing the
locations of islands and the directions
of prevailing winds.
Ancestor worship was their predomi-
nant religious sentiment. With petit
tons and gifts they worshiped the
departed whose spirits were supposed
to return to earth in certain palm
trees which they set off in stone en-
closures. Birds and fishes sometimes
embodied these spirits, they believed,
and thus certain species became ia
boo.
Homes of the natives were not pre-
tentious. Floors were raised above
the ground to escape the rats, and
matched roofs covered the cOmbina-
ton house and storage room
The two island groups are known as
the Ratak and Ralik chains. Their
entire area is not more than 100
square miles; their native population
before the war was $4,000, with fewer
than 800 foreigners. The seat of Ger
man government was on Jaluit and the
most populous island is Majeru, with
but 1000 persons.
Other explorers had touched at the
islands but they, with the Gilbert
group, took their names from Cap
tains Marshall and Gilbert who ex-
plored them in 1888. The Germans
annexed the islands in 1886.

CENTER OF ITALY'S SOCIAL
EARTHQUAKE ZONE

Milan, chief city of the Lomhardv-
Piedmont region of Italy, where work
erS seized factories several months
ago, and where much unrest has been
manifested since, has frankly consid-
cred itself for long years the virtual
capitalize 'capitale morale"-of the
country.
In the recent Industrial troubles fac
tories are reported to have been
seized by workmen in practically all
parts of Italy; but it was in Lombardv
and Piedmont, the territorial division
lying fartheSt north and farthest
northwest in the peninsula-the seats
of the important Italian metal indus
trles--that the seizures were most nu-
merous. In those regions. in turn. the
movement was most pronounced in
and about Turin, the principal CITY of
the Piedmont, and the Detroit of italy ).
ana In Milan, metropolis of the north.
and ltaly's Fall River, Philadelphia
and Schenectady rolled into one.
Lombardy and the Piedmont COM
prise the plains of the upper reaches
of the great Pc valley, the Alpine foot
nils, and the southern and eastern
slopes OF a large part of the Alps them
selves. Milan, on a fertile plain near
the southern ends of some of the most
important of the Alpine passes, was a
town Of considerable Importance even
In the dim historic days of 222 B. c..
when it was captured by the Romans.
1t was then, as it is today, second
city in point of population in Italy.
Milan early earned position of lead
ershlp among surrounding cities,
leadership, however, which did not go
unchallenged. The city has been de-
stroyed many times, once by league
OF neighboring towns, and at other
times by alien conQuerors. After each
destruction it has sprung up on seem
hgly firmer foundation to achieve
reaching influence.
Apart from any reputation Milan
may have gained as an index to in
duStrial unrest, it is a leader among
italian cities in other respects. In
deed, the Milanese insist that their
city, their "capitale morale" is the
very heart and head of Italy's mod
ern life and activity-"first in indus
try, first in municipal progress, first
in political Importance"
The industrial plants of modern
Mhan have fairly burst the confines
OF the old city and many are to be
found in numerous pOpulous suburbs
that have sprung up, especially since
1895. The population now numbers
close to three-quarters of million.
1t is exceeded only slightly. if at all,
by that of Naples, and is considered
IN excess of that of Rome.

FORMER AUSTRIAN NAVAL
BASE NOW ITALIAN
STRONGHOLD

Pola," formerly important to Austria
portant to Italy, for a different rea-
son. A glance at map of the AdriatiC
will show that the possession of Pola
and the recent acquisition of the island
of Cherso, by the terms of the Rapallo
agreement, give Italy control of the
water route to Fiume.
Situated near the extremity of the
Istrian peninsula, So miles by rail
southwest of Trieste, Pola's sole i'm
portant activity before the war was
connected with the repairing, provi-
siOning and harbOring of the Austrian
naval forces. The town is virtually
without industrial establishments or
manufactures.
In 1900 the population Of Pola was
about what it had been eighteen cen
turtles before under the rule of Roman
empesorS. During the succeeding ten
years, however, it grew from $4,000 to
10000.
The practically land-locked harbor
is divided, the upper or northern half
being the commercial roadstead, and
the lower half (below the chain bridge
which connects Scoglio Olivi, or Olive
island, with the mainland) being the
Porto Militare, with the extensive ma
rine arsenal on the southeastern shore.
The city itself clusters around a
castle-crowned hill which was once the
site of the Roman capitol. The cas-
tie is memento of the days of Vene-
tan prowess.
It's settlement is attributed to the Col
chians who pursued Jason and his
argonauts. POla's splendid harbor be-
came a Roman possession in It's B. c..
but Julius Caesar destroyed 1t for hav-
ing espoused the cause of Pompey.
Some years later 1t was rebuilt by the
Emperor Augustus at the instance, ac-
cording to Pliny, of his beloved daugh-
ter Julia.
The most impressive ruin in Pola
is the vast amphitheater, erected at
the beginning of the Christian era in
honor of the emperors, Septimius
Severus and Caracalla. This is be-
lieved TO be the only Roman slmphi-
theater whose outer walls have with
stood the ravages of time and OF man.
The interior, however, is badly dis
mantled and the foundation walls at
one end, centuries ago, were extensive
ly quarried by the Venetians who de-
sired the white Istrian limestone for
the erection of their own palaces.
About the middle of the 18th CEN
fury Pola became a Venetian city. In
the destructive wars, which resulted
from the rivalry between Venice and
Genoa to control the commerce of the
world two centuries later, this port
across the Adriatic from its parent re-
public suffered often and grievously.
1t was completely destroyed In 1879,
and for nearly four and half CEN
turtles it lay dormant. 1t passed TO
Austria at the end of the Napoleonic
wars. however, and its modern growth
dates from 1S4S, when 1t was selected
as an Austrian naval base.
Pola lies almost due east of Venice.

the Roman Catholic church and in the
presence of the greatest assemblage
of church dignitaries ever seen in this
country, the remains of James Card
inal Gibbons were laid to rest Thurs
day in the crypt Of the Cathedral Of

heard only at the funerals of sovereign

There was one little CLEAN of the
sun of peace through the murk Of the
Irish situation last week. Sir Will
liam GouIding of Dublin, a prominent
railway man. and three southern Irish
unionists, conferred with Cardinal
Logue, primate of Ireland, at Dundalk
with the object of securing the open
ing of negotiations between the Irish
republican parliament and the British
government Meanwhile there is no
cessation of the struggle between
the Sim Feiners and the British
police and soldiers In the island,
every day bringing it's stories of at
tacks, usually with bombs, on the aux
iliaries and of the reprisals of the lat
ter.
The commission of the volunteer
committee of one hundred which has
quiry into the Irish question has made
its report. Admitting that it labored
"under the disadvantage of lacking
the official British side Of the case"
the commission declares that 'the
imperial British army in ireland has
been guilty of proved excesses, not in
comparable in degree and kind with
those alleged by the Bryce report on
Belgium atrocities, to have been COM
mitted by the imperial German army"
The report says the Irish people have
had the protection of neither British
nor international law and that they
have been Systematically subjected to
a ''terror" which. however, has failed
to re-establish imperial British civil
government and to suppress the Irish
republic. The published summary of
the report does not show that the Irish
are blamed for anything except the
secret execution of spies, traitors and
enemies of the Irish republic who were
condemned in ex pafte hearings

accentuate its need of retaining the
civil military forces whose disband-
ment IS demanded by the allies.
For the second time the German gov
eminent has filed with the League Of
Nations a formal protest against the
occupation of additional territory by
the allies; and the officials of the al
lied nations are proceeding with their
plans to exact further penalties if
Germany persists in its refusal to pay
12,OO0,OO0,000 gold marks by the first
of May. There is no evidence that the
Germans will pay, and some of the
allies, especially the French, are con-
vinced their former foes are actually
preparing for new war. Marshal
Fayolle is quoted as saying the Ger
mans are making cannon and machine
guns, and especially are forwarding
huge aviation program, and that in the
next conflict London and Paris will
be deluged with bombs from supposed
ly commercial" airplanes. He is
convinced that unless the allies take
firm action at once, Germany will
never carry out the Versailles treaty.
The vigorous Greek offensive against
the Turkish nationalists in Asia Minor
progressed merrily until Eskishehr was
reached. At this railway junction,
where the Greeks were defeated some
months ago, disaster again overlook
them, according to dispatches from
COnstantinople, and after day-long
battle they were forced to retreat
after losing many in killed and cap
tured. The report of the Greek defeat
may be exaggerated, for it emanates
from Kemalist sources.
Greek successes in Asia Minor are
not pleasing to any but the Greeks,
and possibly the British, and even
the regular" Turkish government at
Constantinople protested to the allies
against the Greek offensive. Italy es-
pecially is sore, and relations between
Athens and Rome were strained when
Greece announced a blockade of Asia
Minor and accused the Italians of
smuggling war munitions to Renal
Pasha. The French fear that proposed
occupation by the Greeks Of the OAR
daneles will insure British control of
that important waterway, and Rou-
mania has entered formal and bitter
protest against the composition of the
commission controlling the Darda-
nelles, insisting upon equal voting pow
er with the Greeks and the Turks.
Bulgaria will not overlook any chance
to regain Thrace from the Greeks, but
the latter hope to obtain the support
of the Serbs in any conflict over that
territory by helping them in Albania
and Macedonia. Thus. according to
world diplomats, war clouds are once
more appearing over the Balkans.

Discussion of one of the administra-
TONS most serious problems-that of
the railways-waS taken up in earnest
last week, and though to the lay mind
it seems almost insolvable, the ex-
perts in such matters believe it will
be solved by the interstate commerce
commission and the railroad labor
board working in closer conjunction
than had been contemplated when the
latter was created. Senator Cummins
and Representative Mondell assert the
machinery under the transportation
act is adequate in the situation and
that no further legislation will be
needed. 1t is the position of the Pres
ident and his advisers that the gov
eminent should do all 1T can to facil-
itate the return of the railroads to
former conditions, and 1t is admitted
that both high freight rates and high
wages must be reduced. Present
rates are undoubtedly retarding great
ly the movement of commodities, es-
pecially farm products, and the roads
suffer in revenue accordingly. OF
course the railway unions are oppos-
ing any reduction in wages, asserting
this would be unnecessary were 1t not
for willful extravaganza on the part
of the railroad arrangements. The
senate committee on interstate COM
merce plans an investigation that shall
establish the truth or falsity of the
charges made by organized labor.
