CHINESE WAR HAS
 ONLY BEGUN, SAYS
 CANTON DELEGATE
Chang Tso Lin's Defeat Does Not Mean End of Hostilities, Ma 500 Says in Talk
 at Washington
By Associated Prsss

Washington, May 7.-Civil war in China 'fhas only just begun," Ma Soo, representative of the Canton government, declared today in an- swer to predictions by other Chinese leaders that the defeat of General Chang Tso Lin's Manchurian army before the gates of Picking would end hostilities. The Cantonese troops, Ma Soo said, have been ordered north to continue the campaign against Wu Pei Flu.
 The winning of one battle. the Can ton envoy declared. "does not war rant the assumption that war is ended" and he expressed doubts as to the extent of General Chang's defeat. recalling what he described as Ter roneous reports of signal victories and overwhelming defeats during the World war" and other conflicts.
 Going into the reasons which he said had influenced pr. Sun Yat Sen. Pi 0Gi0CHh OL thC 'oOuth Shth6 6O"tA ment. to throw in his lot with the Manchurian war lord, Ma Boo said the present conflict meant that at this time China's need for unity was greater than her need for peace and that the Canton government. "ths rightful government of China" hav- ing always stood for peace. now finds itself called upon to decide hA tA fau f peace"
 Represents Nobody
 "It must be admitted at the start. he continued, that the Peking gov ernment represents nobody. What ever faction wins 1t will disappear, for both CAang Tso Lin and Wu Pei Flu utterly disregard it."
 Prior to tho outbreak of tho civil war. and almost immediately after the Washington conference. he said. the first step toward unification of China was taken. The various mili- tary factions in actual control cf Canton. These included delegates from Wu Pei Flu, Chang Tso Lin. Tsao Kun and from the Choking and Kiangsu factions.
 Our terms were easy" Ma Soo said. They were that the various military factions should subscribe to the provisional constitution, and as a pledge of their seriousness should disassociats themselves with the Pe- king government and submit to the Canton government. We purposely made these terms easy 70 as to get the factions to agree. They were accepted by the representatives of Chang Tso Lin. In negotiating with wu Pei Flu we added the stipulation that wu should withdraw his troops from Hupeh and Human. Wu Pei Flu refused"
 Reviewing the respective relations of the Canton government both with wu Pei Flu and Chang Tso Ln. Mir. Ma declared that the constitutional parties, have been tricked by Wu Pei Flu before but they have not been tricked by Chang Tso Lin." The Canton government. Ma Soc said, has m army of 15o,ooo men which has begun to march forward to take part in the general movement against wu Pei Flu. The hsadquar- ters. he said, are at Shaokuang. near the mountain pass bordering Kwang- tung. Human and Kiangsi provinces (CeAtannsl sn Daes tws.)

ans club and that I could either sub init to arrest or accompany them to Boston and there take ship for a for eign port.
 Submitted to Arrest
 Tn case I submitted to arrest they said they would make public all my associations and friendships, and em- phasized a threat to embarrass the one person I desired to protect To avoid complications l told them I was ready to go with them to Boston,"
 Mrs. Mary T. Andrews, Robertson's aunt, who went to Washington the day after his departure with the de- tectives said:
 One of the first men I met in Washington was one of the men who came to the house and said he was federal agent. I went to the office of Mir. William J Burns and told him wanted to know the whereabouts of my nephew. He asked mo to step outside for a moment and I did so. Mir. Burns was left alone with the man who had represented himself to be a federal agent. MT. Burns then told me that he would investigate the matter. I then went to the Brit ish embassy and they promised to look into the matter"
 When he returned to Newark from Boston Robertson said Ellis met him. tried to smooth things over" and offered to reimburse him for the OK penses of a trip to Boston, also that of his aunt to Washington.
 T told him I would have nothing to do with him and then caused his arrest on a charge of Kidnapping Robertson said.
 Ellis was released in s3.ooo bail.

ROB AMERICAN SCHOOL.
Serbian and Montenegrin Bandits
Garry OF 10000 Francs.
By the Associated Press.

ny the ASsoctated Press.
PODGORITZA, Montenegro. ApriI
20.-Serbian and Montenegrin irregu-
lars made bold attack last midnight
upon the American Industrial School
at Danilograd, near here, Carrying
off 10000 francs and other property
and throwing the teachers and $50
students into a panic.
The leader of the band armed with
carbine. forced the Waterman and
| instructors against the wall and or
dered them to hold up their hands
while the bandits and accomplices
sacked the school. Not satisfied with
the amount of money obtained. the
bandits demanded to be shown the
books. When convinced that 10000
francs comprised all the funds the
school possessed he seized this and
other booty and fed to the noun
tains, his companions remaining
slightly behind in order to prevent
the. school authorities from giving an
alarm. -.
The Jugoslavian government ex-
pressed deep regret over the incident
to the American Red Cross. which
supports the institution, and reim-
buised the Red Cross for the amount
Of the theft.
The whole countryside was beng
combed today by the Montenegriu
army for the bandit leader believed
ito be former Serbian instructor in
the school. who was discharged some
time ago for spreading revolutionary
doctrines.

thin fiat circular coils of from one TO
two and half Inches in diameter.
These little coils Of hair entirely encir-
Gle the head, and. strange to say, they
give an elegant, though rather singular,
appearance.
THE Sevillian woman. who piles her
hair on the top of her head into little
fortress. is following the custom which
Spanish women have practiced for hun
dreds OF years. Artenaidorus, in the
sixth century before Christ. tells OF the
extravagant headdresses Of Iberian
women. and they also are shown in the
prehistoric statuary Of the country.
big chiefs In some parts of New
Guinea wear rigid plated frames on
their heads, which support cassowary or
paradise feathers during their dances.
The black cassowary feather is the dis
tinguishing ornament of the chiefs. but
wearers are unable to enjoy to the full
est the big celebrations because Of the
heaviness of these headdresses.
Use Plants to Scent Hair.
Among the African tribes the
methods OF hairdressing are legion.
The Wemba men shave two parallel
strips of wool from the nape of the
neck around the crown to the fore
head. Some of them cut all the hair
off. leaving just fringe high up on
the skull. Others leave just q small
circular tuft at the back. The Wemba
and Winamwanga women scent their
hair with aromatic plants.
The men near Lake Bangweolo
sometimes wear wigs made of coarse
matted fiber, and the Bisas weave into
wisps of hair fiber or bristles until
1t hangs down In matted, strfnglike
lunches. The Bisa women weave red
and white beads into their hair until
the hair itself in places is quite con-
cealed. Some Shinga chiefs roll their
hair until 1t resembles the types OF
hairdressing seen in the ancient
Egyptian bas-reliefs.
The Bambala people shave their
heads except for a little round spot
resembling a cap on the top of the
head. They then paint the bare por-
ton with palm oil and SCOT. An old
man. usually covers his tuft of white
hairs with red cloth. and a warrior
wears the bones of his victims wrap
ped in cloth on the top of his head
for the magical properties they are
supposed to possess. The Bakwese
follow somewhat the same customs as
the Bambalas, but the chiefs usually
coil their hair into five lunches
