said that large numbers of bandits
have been residing freely in the Jap

months and during the past fortnight
had come out openly and were living
in the leading Chinese hotels of the
city.
Foreigners in the city are blaming
both the Chinese and Japanese Off

stated that the Chinese authorities in
stead of taking adequate precautions,
attempted to buy off the bandits. When
they had apparently reached an agree

by the bandits, chiefs and leading
merchants.
Bandits in RuSe.
When it was thought everything was
going to be peaceably settled, a dis
agreement arose which resulted in the
bandits kidnapping the chairman of
the Chinese chamber of commerce,
who was released only last Tuesday.
At the time of the celebration the ban
dts were openly patrolling the streets
and had even surrounded the hotel in
which the dinner was held. 1t was
little activity.
Practically all of the leading Chinese
fled from TsIngtao and all the Chinese
shops have closed their doors. The
Japanese banks are open in the morn
ings only.
There are serious apprehensions as
to what will occur when the formal
transfer of the Kiaochow territory
takes place next Sunday

and laying out the nomination for gov
ernor and for other offices In such a
way as to hold out the best prospects
for democratic victory.
Treaties Helped Lodge.
Treaties helped Lodge. The best
Judgment seems to be that If this
Massachusetts fight were held today
Lodge would win 1t handsomely.
Lodge has been decidedly helped, rath-
er than harmed, by the recent party
fight in the senate over the four-pow-
er treaty.
In advance of that debate. the Dem
ocrats planned to make Lodge look
like so cents" But they didn't sue
coed in doing 1t. The nature sof that
fight won support for Lodge. not only
In his own state but in Washington
Lodge handled himself well, and the
opposition to the four-power treaty
taken as a whole, was handled pretty
badly.
When a man like Reed, OF Missouri
is put forward, or puts himself for
ward. in an attack on Lodge and the
four-power treaty, that doesn't huri
Lodge any in Massachusetts. Ever
when the attack on Lodge is express
ed by rather more impressive sen
ators, from other district states, the
effect on Massachusetts is to arouse
sympathy for their own man.
State Pride Factor
Massachusetts, is influenced BY
state pride rather more than mos
states. Moreover, there is still il
Massachusetts a slight residium o
| feeling from a generation or two ago
When their senator is attacked b,
Democrats from states as distant al
Arkansas and Mississippi, the feelin,
! is that a Massachusetts man is upde
assault from the outlanders.
Cox may join in the fight. Ever
when it is said that Ex-Governor Co.
of Ohio, as the titular leader of tn
Democratic party, will go into Massa
chusetts to help in the fight on Lodge
you observe that the effect on Lodge
| friends in Massachusetts is one o
cheer rather than alarm.
/ Undoubtedly, Lodge will have cor
| siderable of a contest, whereve
throughout the country, the more e1
allied sentiment for the League c
Nations is strong
There will be jealous hope 70

any such extremes as would be sus
