~ URING most Of last week the
~ predicted battle between Gems.
WI Pei-Fu and Chang Tsao-Lin ragged
in the vicinity of Picking. Judging
from the dispatches, WI was having
the best of the conflict. The casual
ties We're rather heavy. On Wednes-
day President Hsu made another eff
fort to stop the hostilities, calling to
the attention of the rival commanders
the fact that the foreign diplomats had
protested three times against the
fighting and had warned Of serious con-
sequences to China should foreigners
suffer from the hostilities. Almost all
the plans regarding China made at the
Washington conference have been sus-
pended because of the warfare. The
Chinese press is almost a unit In de-
crying the fighting, asserting that it is
only harmful to the country, which
ever side wins. Early in the week
General Chang issued a statement
that General WI had been killed by
artillery fire. This has not been con-
f1rmed.
Sun Vat Sen, head of the South
China government at Canton, asserted
he had combined with General Chang
and would soon start for northern
China. SUMS own government was
weakened by the detection of Gen.
Chen Chiung-Min, who resigned the
governorship Of Kwantung.

THAT France fully expects Germany
! to default on the PREPARATIONS is
indicated by a statement in Sketch of
London, which says it has learned
from a reliable French source that
preparations are being made for i'm
mediate mobilization of the 1913 class
of reserves, numbering about 10000.
Mr.. Lloyd George gave up his plan for
a meeting Of the nations signatory to
the Versailles treaty in Genoa to take
up the matter of enforcing the German
payments, but still hopes it may be held
elsewhere. The French insist that no
such meeting be held with after May 81.

ton was named. 1t is hoped the OPP
posing sections of the Irish army will
be able to find a basis for unification.
Before this the Free Skaters had
stormed and captured Ormonds cas-
tie, the last stronghold of the irregu-
lars in Kilkenny; the police barracks
in Mullingar, occupied by irregulars,
had been blown up, and there were nu-
merous bloody encounters elsewhere.
The situation on the Ulster border was
reported as again becoming serious.

TN THE United States the most In
1 teresting event of the week was the
defeat of Senator Harry S. New for
denomination in the Indiana Republic
an primaries by former Senator Albert
J. Beyeridge. Since New was running
on the record of the national admins
tration his failure was looked on as
something of a blow to that admins
tration and the regulars in the SEN
ate were frankly disappointed. Sena-
tor Mccormick, chairman Of the Re-
publican senatorial committee, how
ever, said the committee had taken no
part in the contest and would support
the nominee theoretically. Mr.. Bev-
eridge served twelve years in the sem
ate and was leader in the Progressive
party movement. He made his cam
paign on such planks as demands for
the repeal of the Adamson law, repeal
or amendment of the Sherman law,
adoption of a sales tax and the promo
ton Of greater efficiency and wiser
economy in government.
Samuel Ralston, former governor Of
Indiana, easily won the Democratic
nomination, and in him Beverfdge will
find strong contender for the senate
seat 1t may be that modification Of
the Volstead act will become promi-
nent issue of the campaign.

STATEMENT ABOUT BILL
Bill To Make longing Season Uni
form Throughout The State.

Cambridge, Md. Feb. 4, 1922,
To the Citizens OF Dorchester County
Having presented a bill before the
House, at Annapolis, on February 3,
1922, tha@ deals with that big ques-
ion, namely; oysters, l feel that l
owe to the good people of Dorchester
County, just little explanation.
AS the oystermen and packers of
dorchester County know. the times
or starting the longing of the oyster
!ary to such an extent, l have felt
OF sometime that we need special
legislation to correct this trouble, for
Instance, Talbot County starts their
.onging season September list, right
cross the river, Cambridge starts
heirs September 18th, down the
ounty are the Fishing Bay, Honga
river and counties in the State Sept
ember 1st and 18th.
| have therefore presented Bill
nat makes it unlawful to catch and
ell oysters before October 1st, but
ave made provision to allow the man
} catch oysters in the month of Sept.
or the purpose of transplanting. but
OF for sale The main reason for
.aying inserted in this bill the privi-
,ge to the oystermen to still catch
ysters in the month of September,
due to the fact that a great many
ounties in the State of Maryland,
ave always caught their oysters In
lie month of September, but nave
.ansplanted same and by doing this,
lev do not glut the market in a
arm month, such as September, l
,lieve that by stopping the sale OF
ysters that are caught from Mary
md waters until October LIST, will
ave the State of Maryland great
any thousand dollars in the run OF
year,
AS a matter of fact. ninety percent
f the oystermen in the State OF
Iaryland are we'll employed in the
lonth of September other than the
OYSTER industry, and in most cases
hey will have to quit one JOB to go
put on the oyster rocks and eaten a
product that is both perishable and
lnmarketable, l mean by that, that
here is the canning industry, the
state road work, the box factories,
he grabbing industry, farming In
lustry and the clam industry, when
Of course by mentioning these things
axes in a Statewide scope. l believe
that when the oystermen Of Dorches-
ter county and other counties OF the
State realize that this bill protects
them in both quantity and quality
md should absolutely reimburse
hem in the months Of October and
November due to the fact that they
nave allowed the better grade or the
oysters to remain on the bottoms
and to be marketed at time When
oysters are in demand, they will tnen
see that this bill means more to them
than what it first appeared.
Trusting that the people OF the
tide-water sections of this and all
other counties Of the State will reel
that this bill is something that Will
correct one of the many bad features
of the oyster laws, but wish 1t IN
derstcod that l will be glad to hear
from any one who has anything TO
saw along this particular line, l am

C.. Fred ChiIds Writes Wv
idly of Destruction
In France
GERMAN TACTICS
EXASPERATE FRANCE

French Determined TO Keep Their Army
Preparation Could Not Restore Dew
astated Country - Impossible to Re
claim Ali Land.
Letters received by Mai T. w. Childs,
written by his nephew. G. Fred Childs
of Chicago. formerly of Brattleboro. who
has been visiting European battlefields,
contain highly interesting facts concern
ing conditions existing there Following
are two letters from Aix-Les-Bains,
France:
All Europe today appears to be wait
ing Germany's financial collapse, realiz-
ing that each country must inevitably
suffer in consequence. The expected
collapse of Germanys finances will likely
paralvze her industries and also stop all
forms of reparation payments. The
former. Germany appears 10 be willing to
entlare in order TO make certain her
avoidance Of further payments to the
allies. Up to this time German trade
and industry at home have thriyed on
the falling value of the mark Evidence
of her domestic prosperity is seen on
every hand The exports at Hamburg
show them to have equaled the record OF
1913 and most German cities are busy
hives of activity with extensions being
made to factories and railroads. Now
Germany seems ready for a show down,
TO put an end to her indemnity and rep
aration payments. She claims she can
no longer deliver her coal to France and
suggests she supply English coal instead.
The French say it is merely more deceit
on Germany's part fer Germany must
buy foreign currency to pay for British
coal and if she can do that she can GER
tainly make reparation payments with
such currency. All such tactics eXasper-
ate the French. fer no nation on earth
will suffer from a German default except
France.
From Reims to scissors and Chateau
Thierry, | went through the country that
the Americans fought over Every viii
lage was a complete ruin. All had been
receiving aid from the French govern
Inent for reconstruction work and in each
. village many new stone houses had been
erected. All this work must cease if
Germany fails to fulfill her reparation
pledges. Those cities must be rebuilt, 50
if French funds are employed then
France can surely be excused from re
paying her loans to America until Ger
many resumes her payments to France.
The Germans claimed a divine right" %
make war and now TO avoid being held
accountable for all devastation she in
| tends 10 subordinate a principal to IN
economic theory. Without recognizing Il
moral obligation Germany is properly en-
titled to no credit 1t is blasphemy and
infamy TO claim that Germany had any
just cause for war. He lives in a fools
