CHINESE TROOPS
SLAY THOUSANDS
PART OF NORTHERN FORCES IN
MUTINY
Rebellious Soldiers Reported March
ing Back Northward From Kiang-
fu After Setting Fires

Shanghai, June 21.-Between 10,-
600 and $4,000 northern forces sent
against Sun Vat Sens army in XII
angs; province mutinied at Kiangfu,
burned portions of Kiangfu and other
nearby cities and killed thousands Of
the residents, according to unconfrm-
ed but apparently authoritative re-
ports from various sources at Han
kow and Nanchang. The troops were
under command of Gen. Tsai Chen
Hsun, military commander of Peking.
The rebellious soldiers are report
ed marching back Jrthward and
nearing Changshu XII, city about
100 miles north of Kiangfu mad so
miles north of Nanchang.
a dispatch from Hankow says the
British gunboat Cockchafer is speed
ing up the Kan river toward Nanch-
ang to bring out the foreign resi-
dents. The American gunboat Mon
ocacy is coaling at Kiukiang and will
proceed to Nanchang as soon as pos
sible. The American gunboats Isabel
and Quiros and the British gunboats
Bee and Foxglove are held in readi-
ness at Kiukiang to rush to the dis
turbed area if necessary to protect
nationals.
The situation at Canton is quiet
but ominous. Messages from adher-
ents of Sun Vat Sens southern gov
ernment at Canton and Hong Kong
said Sun has ordered his main force
in Kiangsi to abandon the expedition
against the north and return to Can
ton. Sun, WI Ting Fang and other
leaders of the Canton government are
reported to be still aboard Chinese
warships in the neighborhood of Can
ton awaiting the return Of the Kiang-
81 army. If Sun persists in his deter
mination to regain control of Canton
from Chen Chung Ming, who drove
him out last week, the return of these
troops may precipitate seroius fight
ing for possession Of the city. The
report that Suns army is to return
to Canton was given color tonight by
reports from Hankow and Kiangsi
cities of Kiukiang and Nanchang in
dicating fighting in K!angsi province
between the northern and southern
troops had ceased. The report that
the northern army had mutinied and
was returning northward also tended
to confirm belief that forces are re-
turning to his capital.
The protest of the American consul
at Canton against bombardment of
the city by Suns gunboats will, it is
believed, insure cessation of his firing
on the city.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
SHOW INTEREST
Hampton County Wins Banner for
Largest Number of Efficiency
Points
The State.

"The Organized Sunday School
Work of South Carolina" was the
theme of the days session yesterday
of the state Sunday school convention
being held at the University of South
Carolina. DR.. Watson B. Duncan,
the we'll known Methodist minister
and lecturer, addressed the morning
session on the theme, "My Attitude
Toward the international Sunday
School Association" and because of
the force and vigor of his remarks he
received the closest attention of the
convention.
"My attitude toward the Interrna-
al Sunday School association is the
same as the general attitude of my
church, which is that of sympathetic
cooperation" he said. "My attitude
is the same as that of the general
conference of my church, which is
the only lawmaking body of our de-
nomination. There may have been
some misunderstanding, but no true
Methodist can be a sectarian bigot;
it is contrary to the whole spirit and
principle of our church.
81 believe in the spirit of coopera-
ton for which our state Sunday
School association stands; l prize the
Christian fellowship of it's officials,
and our state superintendent is the
best we have ever had. AS a Meth
odist, l stand with my church as a
whole in the spirit Of sympathetic CO.
operation with this great movement"
Extracts from proceedings of the
recent general conference and cor
respondence with the high officials
of the church were read, substantial
ing the speakers statements as to the
official attitude of the Methodist
church toward the cooperative Sun
day school work.
An impressive recognition service
for the county Sunday school asso-
Citations was conducted near the close
of the morning session. AS the name
Of each couty was called, the county
delegation stood and was presented
with banner representing the degree
of efficiency attained in the work that
year. Spartanburg county received
a front line banner, but the highest
rank was reached by Hampton coun-
ty, with a double front line banner,
representing 40 efficiency points over
and above the banner county require
ments. Seven officials of the asso
cation, which had a total delegation
of 20 present, were called to the lat
form and presented with the banner
by the chairman. Resonse was made
by the past president, E. NJ. Peoples.
DR.. 7. Claggett Skinner spoke on
"The Best Defense of the Bible," ma
ny pronouncing this one of he pest
addresses of the convention. Bishop
K. G. Finlay conducted the daily BIZ
BILE hour, the attendance at this oe-
riod showing the growing popularity
of this feature of the convention.
In the afternoon the convention
divided into five parallel sessioss for
the various departments of the Sun
day school, each section carrying out
a full program.
At the evening session DR.. D. w.
Daniel Of Clemson college gave
strong address on "Christian Cooper
alton for Kingdom Service"
Thursdays sessions, which begin at
9:15 a. M, will close the convention
Delegates are still arriving and the

I from her novelists. Charles Dicken,
laid aside his pen more than half {
| century ago, but such was the power
of that pen that to this day few Of ou1
countrymen visit London for the first
time without expecting to find the city
that Dickens wrote into the imagina.
tion of past generation. In his novels
as well as in those of his widely-read
successors, the sociology has been made
subsevient to the story and it is be-
cause of the story that the books have
been popular.
Of late years there has been a sig
nificant change in the attitude Of Brit
ish novelists toward this country. None
of their American characters is a per-
son of sinister purpose. In the earlier
chapters of detective story suspicion
may attach to the American who fg-

that in the end he will not only be

This genial attitude is due less to

At present the English are more in

they would be much more widely read

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There is no decent reason why
the government Of the United States
should dodge the enforcement Of the
laws Of the country on its ships in
whatever waters they may be, within
or beyond the three-miie limit. Who
is there to dispute the long-accepted
rule that the deck Of ship wherever
found outside the three-mile sea-hne
is the soil Of the nation whose flag
floats above that deck?
Why should not the Eighteenth
Amendment as well as the Thirteenth
Amendment be law for American ves-
sells on the high seas? Would you plead
for the permission Of chattel slavery
on the ships es the United States in
contravention Of the Thirteenth Amend
sment because, forsooth, as you claim
in the case Of the Eighteenth Amend
mert, to withhold that permission
would effect damage TO American
shipping" that might swell be fatais
The decks Of our ships are '.real Ameri-
can soil" and the laws follow the
flag, whether the ofFenss is chattel
slavery or the traffic In Intoxicating
liquors. EDWIN G. WALKER

Turkeys and Neighbors

The fate of the turkey seems un-
certain. Not only is he subject to
a disease known as blackhead, but
he is favorite quarry of dogs and
some other wild animals, and his
relations with the human race are
apparently far from agreeable.
Turkey thieves have never been
unite as common as chicken thieves,
probably for the very good reason
that turkeys are not as common as
chickens. But turkey raising is on
the decline.
The turkey, it appears from a
bulletin Of the Department of Agri-
culture, is a very neighborly bird.
He likes to. trot far afield and will
scratch in the next-door garden as
readily as in his own. In fact, a
turkey is great wanderer and is
no respecter Of property. His pres
ence, however, is not welcomed by
the neighbors, and, if we may be-
lieve the Department Of Agricul-
ture. has often caused STRAINED
feelings" So strained have these
become on numerous occasions chat

Holy Wars

A great holy war of Mahometans
has been possibility for some time.
IN the view OF certain observers. The
Western and Christian world looks
upon such an eruption as a return of
medlevallsm., thing remote, .primi-
tive and hard to comprehend.
Yet it will need many years to for
get that in the recent fare-up of re-
llgious animosities in Anatolia it
was, in this country, the most ac
lively religious portions of our peo-
pie who called loudest for a holy war
to protect Christian brethren. Greek
and Armenian, from the sword of
Islam. Senator Lodge expressed the
opinion the ether day that Congress
was in a mood to yield to this de-
mand and might we'll have declared
war against the Turk.
The contrasts are obvious. 1t was
in war of defense that these de-
tenders of Christianity demanded
action. No hope Of conquest or
forced conversion was in their minds.
No one can question the purity of
their motives, their unselfshness,
their high aim. The fact remains
that, with the World War but four
years gone, in nation supposedly
war-weary and resolved irrevocably
for peace, following loud demand
for disarmament and an end of all
preparedness, this call to a fresh
war burst forth, and burst forth ex-
actly, among those religious leaders
many of whom have been the strong
est advocates of peace and unpre-
paredness. Nor were these leaders
one particle restrained by the fact
that largely through their efforts the
country was unprepared for any war.
The country did not go to war
for one reason, because there was
sober minded administration at
Washington. But the peril was there
and the moral is clear. The militant
spirit is still alive in Christianity,
however purified and ennobled. 1t is
ridiculous and a reckless risk ofi
young lives to pretend that it is not
and to demand, in effect, that Chris
tian youths, if called to battle, march
unprepared.

center, however, may be expected to
shift hereafter toward the south.

terry connections and if the Staten

railroad is acquired by the city the

Unity of planning has come with the
creation of the Transit Commission.

the sort involved in the projected

Embarrassed Good Intentions
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Most Of us from time to time
are inspired by a book, by sermon,
or by the people we have been talking
with to do something about the exist
ing social conditions Of cur country,
or even Of other countries. But un-
fortunately few of US go further than
letting off our good intentions to the
nearest listener in storm of words.
For some strange reason this clears
our conscience Of all responsibility,
and we make no more effort. Even
those few who still keep the matter
in the back of their minds very rarely
put it to use in the form Of action.
OF course, while the idea is still
fresh, we should endeavor to discover
how we can assist along the lines in
which we have become interested. But
we are shy about trying anything new.
We are afraid that the small amount
of time we could give would be Of no
value-and especially we do not know
where to 60 and we have not the
energy nor the time to find out. The
book we read gave US no practical sug-
gestions. The lecture was very definite
in its abuse Of existing evils and the
old-fashioned methods of correcting
them, but very vague as to how the
new ideas could be put to immediate
use.
We know that there are plenty Of
charities where we can assist, and
probably have already assisted, in
lessening the Immediate grievances Of
the poor. But how can we assist in a
larger and more valuable way, by orr
ganization Of the hundreds Of conflict
1 ing and frequently useless charities,
by improving the methods in our
schools, by cleaning up politics, or even
by means Of larger enterprises IN c6n-
nection with other nations!

Keep the volstead Act at Home

The reasons for exempting foreign
ships from the Volstead act are so
many and overwhelming that there
can now hardly be question of their
ultimate wetness. Each day has
brought to light new damage to
American citizens which such regu-
lation is bound to work.
Congress has the power to insist
upon complete dryness in our ports;
an exercise Of the power would
plainly harm only ourselves. Wheth-
er one considers chiefly the damage
done to our great American ports, to
American ships and TO American
territory like Porto Rico and the
Philippines, or stresses the untold
irritations and bad feeling aroused
in friendly nations, the answer is the
same Public opinion is already out
spoken in demanding that Congress
clearly exempt foreign ships from
the Volstead act.
But this determination of the issue
with respect to foreign shipping
makes it absolutely essential that
American ships also be exempted
from the act. If it were practicable
to make all shipping, under every
flag, bone dry, whether bound for
America or leaving America, there
would be an equality between our
vessels and the vessels of other ma
tions in this respect. The handicaps
being equal, there would be no dam
age done. Such equality being i'm
possible, the result would be fatal to
American passenger shipping.
Other inequalities Of operation can
be taken care Of by a subsidy bill
will be provided for in the subsidy
bill to which President Harding now
invites the attention of Congress.
But how, by any governmental aid,
compensate for dryness? Not even
cut-rate fares would entice the bulk
Of travellers on board dry ships
even if the country would endure
taxation and subsidies to cover such
uneconomic operation.
1t is an inescapable conclusion
that Congress faces. It cannot stand
by the Volstead act in its broadest
Interpretation, for that would drive
shipping to Montreal and other
Canadian ports, to the ruin OF our
seaboard cities, and outrage the feel
ings Of every other nation. 1t must
exempt foreign shipping; but in thus
acting it will drive the American
flag from the seas in SO far as-pas-
senger traffic is concerned. unless it
permits American vessels to share
the exemption.
That is the common sense of the
situation: Keep the Volstead act
within the three mile limit.
