CHINA BUILDS UP
CHEFOO HARBOR
Only Port Not Controlled by
Japanese Affords Outlet
From Shantung.

The breakwater for Chefoo Harbor, in
accordance with plans to make this
north China port thoroughly modern in
every respect, has been completed.
The breakwater is approximately al
its full height and protected by heavy
rubble on the slopes for a length of
about 800 feet. A total length of 1900
feet of parapet wall has been built.
Work on the mole involved the deposit
ing OF $4,000 cubic yards Of sand, $4,000
square yards of brushwood zlnkstucks
and g. 100 tons of rubble in the founda-
tons and lower part and nearly I3OoC
tons of rubble in the upper part.
The reinforced concrete caisson for
east end OF the quay was sunk success
fully during the summer It has been
filled with concrete and the large ma
sonry blocks In the quay wall and the
wing walls have been put IN place.
About one-half OF the masonry super
structure remains to be constructed.
This port work promises to restore to
Chefoo something of it's old Importance
as an outlet for Shantung. 1t Is the
It's chief difficulty Is the lack of rail-
way communica with the interior,
the Japanese doing everything in their
power to block the development of a
railway from the city OF Weihsien,
where all OF north Chlna's communica-
tons can be tapped Via the Shantung
and Chinese Government lines.
The Chinese gentry are still attempt
ing TO finance this railroad to make 1t

ALL EAGER TO SELL
TROUSERS TO FILIPINOS
Proposed Legislation Gives
Hint to Americans.

MANILA, r. l.. Feb. THAT Amer
lean firms are on the alert for business
in the Far East was demonstrated by
the receipt OF letters here from clothing
manufacturers Of the United States,
offering to furnish trousers in any guam
tity or grade of material for the male
population of the Philippine Islands
These offers grew out of the publica-
ton In the United States of the provi-
sions of a bill introduced In the Legis-
lature early in December by Senator
Lope X Santos, requiring the nom
Christian tribes Of Northern Luzon and
of the island OF Mindanao to wear
more clothing. The bill has never been
reported on by committee and leaders of
the Senate say it probably will not be
revived during the present session.
One large manufacturer OF clothing
in Chicago wrote to Santos:
THE writer was interested to note
the enclosed clipping from Chicago
newspaper AS one of the largest cloth
ing speciality manufacturers In this
country, we are in a position to supply
trousers in most any grade or character
Of material at prices that will prove at
tractiye.

YOUNG JAPAN LIKES
ECONOMIC BOOKS
Russian Anarchist a Fayorite
Among Students Of the I'M
perial University.

Recently an observer OF the trend OF
Japanese thought, especially among
younger people, made an examination in
Toxic as to the imported books and
magazines that are most extensively
read in the capital. In his inquiry at
the Central Library Of Hibiya, says the
East and West Nelos, he was told that
the books written by two persons. one q
German Jew, long since dead, and the
other woman living In Sweden, were
the most eagerly sought after by young
intellectuals. In other words, the writ
ings, and especially tho Capital" Of
Marx, and the books written by Ellen
Key enjoy by far the greatest popularity
in that quarter of Toxic.
At the Imperial University it was dis
covered that here IL is the Russian
anarchist, Peter Kuropotkin. just passed
away, who enjoys the greatest enthu-
siasm of it's students. His Mutual
Air" Conquest of Bread" and auto
biography have been inspirations to the
students of the university, whose func-
ton 1t is TO turn out bureaucrats and Of
ficials OF the empire. A fine irony
Then the bookstores were canvassed,
where II was discovered that the best
sellers were Bertrand Russell's recent
books, "Why Men Fight 1.-THE Road to
Freedom" &c. The books by IT. u.
Wells, Bernard Shaw and John Gals
worthy are also popular Books bearing
on social economic and political ques-
tions sell best. Writings OF Scott Near
ing of the Fabian Society. and OF Emma
Goldman are also selling very well THE
Brass Check by Upton Sinclair is just
making a great hit.
Among the periodicals 1t vas found
that the London Times Weekly edition
sells the greatest number of copies.
which is closely followed by the SGtar-
day Evening Post. The latter on ac-
count of the shortage of paper In Amer
lea has been Withdrawn from exporta-
ton. After these come the English and
American Revieio OF ReVieaDs. the Lit
erdry Digest. the Outlook and the Cos
m mopolitaat, McClure's, Mi@tscy's. VogtG6
&c. The Nation and the Ne1C Republic
are extensively read in academic and in
tellectual circles.
The above observation concerning the
reading Of young Japan explains the di-
rection to which the general trend Of
thought is headed.

CLOSE CAMP FUNSTON
WITH END OF YEAR;
TRAINED 100000 men
(By Associated Press.)


CAMP FUNSTON, Kan, Jan. L.
With the fading Of the year the final
scenes are being enacted in the his
tory OF this cantonment. Through
this camp 100000 Americans passed
in the process Of training for the world
war and here Major General Leonard
Wood labored while three complete
divisions were whipped into shape to
face the foes of democracy.
Abandonment and dismantling OF
the cantonment under recent orders Of
the war department probably will
mean also the turning Of Army City, a
civilian municipality on it's border, in
to q deserted village.
In the summer of 1913 there were as
many as $4,000 men in training here
at one time, but when the order to
vacate was received $500 officers and
enlisted men of the seventh division
were stationed here. These are being
sent to Camp Meade, Md, with the ex-
ception of the Eighth Field Artillery.
which is going to Hamaii and the di-
visional tank corps which is destined
for Camp Pike, Ark.
Deserted by Jan. IS.
Officers here said today that the
camp will be deserted by all except a
few hundred caretakers by Jan. Is of
the new year.
In case the war department order is
carried out to the letter, the "junking'
Of the property. camp officers say.
win mean the dismantling and removal
Of 1,215 buildings of all descriptions,
built at an outlay OF approximately
$4,000, 900. K ansas representatives in
congress have presented to the War
department numerous protests from
Kansas organizations against this pro-
gram. This state is particularly con-
cerned in the kansas Building" built
with $4,000 raised on popular sub
scr1ption and used as a community
center" by soldiers and visiting rela-
tives.
Camp Funston, occupying 806 of the
10000 acres in the Fort Riley govern.
ment reservation, was established
early in 1917 and the building plans
inaugurated in June Of that year. The
hrst troops moved in the following
September.
Trained a9th Division.
General Wood was the first com
mandant. Under his supervision the
S9th division was trained in four
months, going overseas in May of 1918
General Wood then was returned to
Funston and trained a new division
the Tenth, which was ready to GO
when the arTnistice was signed. Prior
to the assembling of the 89th, Major
General J. c. Wynn took the Nine
teenth division overseas from this
camp late in 1917.
Army City represented an outlay in
buildings alone of several hundred
thousand dollars. It's sole patronage
was the Camp Funston soldiers and
during the war period it boasted "the
largest pool hall, the largest barber
chop and the largest laundry in the
United States" 1t also had theaters
stores, cafes, dance halls and churches
With the dwindling of the camp popu
lation the towns business has been re
duced accordingly.
