IN THE DAYS NEWS
A MIsSloNARY's BANDIT "sLooD
BROTHERp

DR.. A. L. Shelton, medical missionary
to Tibet, news Of whose death at the
hands of bandits near Batang, has
Just been cabled to America, was in
daily contact for nearly seventeen
years with all manner of types among
the barbarians who surrounded his
home and hospital.
In a recent communication to the
National Geographic Society he told
Of earning the blood brotherhood of
one of the notorious brigand chiefs of
the eastern border of Tibet, an ALI
ance which may well mean that his
death at the hands of other bandits
may have sequel.
The bandit chief was Lozong, who
came to offer his services to the Ii
betian governor in Gartok, Tibet, at
, the time that DIR. Shelton was the gov
errors guest.
During our stay" wrote DIR. Shell
| ton, "Lozong and 1 became quite good
| friends, often visiting each other. One
| day he proposed to me that we should
| be brothers. According to this custom
among the people of Khan, when two
| persons like each other very much
they draw up an agreement declaring
| that they are brothers and that they
will help and stand by each other
/ through all things.
when Eozong made the proposal I
told him that I could not accept it.
| Why not? said he, we are friends
"Yes,' I replied, I know we are
good friends, but you occasionally kill
people, and you rob, and you drink
whiskey, and | cannot do these things.
He id not like that at all. He went
away, but two or three days later he
came back again.
"'Well,' he said, if your religion viii
not allow you to become brother with
me- since you say you came here to
help people and not to kill them, what
will your reliSion allow you to do?'
81 told him something of our pur-
pose and of our faith and he went
away again. Two or three days later
he came back, all smiles.
"Tve got things all fixed up now,
he said. We can be brothers all right.
/ went up to the high priest this
morning and took an oath that | will
not kill anybody, that I will not rob.
and that ] will not drink whiskey
81 assured him that l was greatly
pleased.
Then he said, as he reached in
side his gown and pulled out a pa
Iper, how it this?
HE had it all written out and pro-
ceeded to read the paper to me. 1t ran
somewhat in this fashion:
I'm view of the fact that General
Lozong Che called himself generaD and
Doctor Shelton have both taken an
oath that they will not kill anybody
they will not rob any one, they will
not drink whiskey, they have decided
to be brothers
HE enumerated several other con
; ditions, and in closing said: And. fur
therrnore, this is to give notice to any
: one that if you ever modest Doctor
> Shelton in any way I will bring q
! thousand men and wipe you off the

AIDING LIBERIA.

This country has been asked to make
loan of IS, 900 to Liberia, part of
which is to be used in repaying British
and French loans made ten years ago
and the remainder for the strengthening
Of the defense Of that country and gov
eminent in view of the fact that not
more than $4,000 of the million and a
half population are civilized and they
are located along the coastline.
Because it was there that SO many of
the American Negroes went there has
always been an interest displayed by
this country. At the present time there
is financial control exercised over that
country by the United States as the re-
suit of a treaty agreement with France
and Great Britain which countries have
colonies on either side. This country
has maintained receiver general there
for a number of years.
Under the proposed loan It is intended
that there should be an American f1nan-
cial commission named by President
Harding and appointed by the president
Of Liberia which would have full con-
troll Of the customs of that country and
WHICH WOULD CEASE 10 eAlSI when Tue
loan that is sought had been repaid to
this country.
There can be no ground for the belief
shown in some sections that this Is a
move to make Liberia an American col
ony Such is not desired or aimed at
In view of the relationships it was nat
ural that this help should be sought from
this country first instead Of from others
and the details of the plan can be ex-
pected to be fully disclosed before tht
time comes for action upon it. 1t would
not be the first instance of course where
we had shown a disposition to help that
African country in time of difficulties.

STATE DEPARTMENT Ass1srANrs

Changes which have been made in the

a surprising suddenness. 1t has been

little specializing has been done as to
the new ones that would be appointed.
Knowing what has been done in the past
it has perhaps not been surprising that
there was an inclination to think that
those named would he chosen for the
payment Of a political debt instead of for
their fitness for the places, but second
thought must have recognized the fact
that the department of state is not be-

sound business and legal principles, and
