 for the 1400 Plymouthians who have
 worked with him in the weeks past, a
 succinct explanation of wherein the | Spirit, differs from historical pa- geants up to. this time, and the tech | nfque of telling a complicated story,
 very rich in dramatic detail, in con- stderably less than two hours,'' was outlined in an interview by Professor George P. Baker of Harvard, author and pageant master of the mamm 10th spectacle to be given here in. con- memora ion of the Sooth anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers Performances are scheduled, weather

 ly determined by the physical condi- ttons under which they are given, Any performance on this Pageant Field must center about high tide. As The Pilgrim Spirit has, from the out set, been planned for evening per- forrnances. this fact at once reduced greatly the number of evenings in each month available.
 "As 6 result of the postponement of the first group of performances from last week to thtsrendered neces- gary by the severe rainStOrms, the or igfnai intentions of the text In this re- gard will not be fully realized; but an adjustment of the lighting effects, made possible through the exception ally efficient installation put in by Munroe R. Pevear, the difficulties i'm vo1ved in not having the advantage of high tide will be very largely ob- viated.
 For the convenience of that large part of the public who must travel some distance to their homes the ef- fort has been made to close the pa geant as near 1o;so as possible. This resultant space of two hours has been further reduced for the author by the time properly allowed for the mu- sic.

ISSUES SOLEMN
 WARNING ON MENACE

London. July 21-A solemn warn ing on the menace to Britain of the ''Americanization of China" is ut tered by far-eastern correspondent of the Daily Mail, who recently at- tended the tenth anniversary celebra- tion of the American Indemnity CTsing Hua) College in Picking.
 The college was established as a result of the United States govern ment remitting part of its share of the Boxer Indemnity.
 The boys here are China's future leaders,, the correspondent says, and after pointing out that they all go to America after completing their stud ies in Peking, he continues:
 Educated under the American system, aware that they owe their scholarship to American justice, and saturated with American sentiment by five to eight years resid ence in the United States, they will look to American solely for cooperation in the troublous years to come Amer lea is rearing the China of tomorrow.
 Why should not we" (the Britishl ne demands, share an influence that we formerly monopolized and that is now slipping away from us7" and he goes on:
 asked a returned student as we watched the boys at baseball why china did not look to England as an educational field.
 sure we will he replied when you remit the Boxer indemnftv,
 The Chinese president of the col lege put it to the correspondent this way: ei-S | Chinese-An erican friendship has become so proverbia1 that few people eehe the trouble to investigate the cause or such good international urr derstanding. Any country that wishes to cap1tVate the hearts of the Chin ese can do no better than follow the l example set by America" D.

So far the re- suits of this have not been felt or understood in this country, but un- less we take speedy action, we are destined to drop during the next 12 | months to third or fourth place in the Chinese Republic, and thereby | aftect our whole standing through- | out Asia"

Defiation in the "Moyiesc

The heavy influx of gold from abroad
in recent weeks has given rise to much
discussion in Wah Street financial
circles Of possible reduction in the
rediscount rates of the Federal Reserve
banks. Those favoring such action say
that enough gold has CONS in to bolster
up ths credit structure sufficiently to
danger. Bankers who ought to be in a
position to know say, however, that
Governor W. P. G. Harding of the
Federal Reserve Board is strongly op-
posed to such move at this time on
the ground that it would revive inaa-
ton. One Of the principal problems in
the present situation, it is pointed out,
arises out Of frozen credits, and it il
held by most bankers that to lower
rediscount rates would not aid in liqui-
dating these credits, but rather would
make it easier for the debtor to carry
along.

Willvs-Overland

With the quickened demand for au-
tomobiles the situation with respect to
WHY'S Overland was said by bankers
Yesterday to have shown improvement
during, the last few weeks. Although
there has been little reduction in the
company's bank loans, new cash re
ceived in payment of cars is being used
to cut down merchandise obligations.
1t was announced late in 1920 that, in
Guiding cars in the hands Of dealers.
the company then had less than $4,000
finished cars on hand. A considerable
proportion Of these has now been dis
posed of. Banks are not pressing the
company for the. amounts still owing
them by the company, estimated at be-
tween $2S000,0 900 and S24,000,00O, as
an agreement was reached earlier in
the year to renew these notes for a
period Of six months. An effort Is
being made by interests in the WHY'S
Overland and the Willys Corporation
to bring about consolidation Of the
two companies, but 1t was said yes
terday that the negotiations have not
yet reached definite stage. A merger
of this character, it is believed, would
help solve the financial problems
faced by both concerns.

Shares Drop Sharply

After fortnight IN which secur-

traders yesterday were disposed to cell
stocks. Both railroad and industrial
stocks were affected, but despite sharp
falls in the market value of few act
i've industrial stocks, the average de-
clines at the close we're small.
The selling seemed In large meas
ere to be an expression Of desire to
take advantage Of the changed tech
nical position Of tho market. And this
effort was facilitated by the announce
buck & Co.. and tho United States
Smelling & Refining Company had de-
cided to pass the dividend on the COM
mon shares. After the news about the
great mail order house became known,
the stock rallied from low OF 66ss to

which were apparently in doubt, were
heavily sold on knowledge Of the Sears
Roebuck action, and declined sharply.

Mexican Petroleum

Talk Of new financing by Mexican
Petroleum, while nsubstantiated in
official quarters yesterday, neverthe-
less was largely responsible in forcing
sharp decline in the stock. After
selling as high as 149 early In the
session 1t receded swiftly, touching
low Of 143 and closing points off at
l43h. The amount mentioned in the
report of financing was placed at be-
tween s1o,oo0,0oo and s15,OOo,o00. Of
fcials of the company would not CON
firm the report and the bankers who
usually handle Mexican Petroleum
financing said they had no knowledge
Of any impending operation of this
character. Like most of the large oil
companies, Mexican Petroleum is un-
derstood to need additional working
capital for financing development work
at its properties and carrying oil in
storage. The linking up Of Mexican
petroleum with the Atlantic Gulf E.
West Indies as possible purchaser
OF the latter's oil properties In Mexico,
also lent color to the rumor Of ananc-
