All the while that he joked he fixed
Wilton with his staring gaze. And
Wilton found himself wondering how
much Tom Bowyer knew.
The man was as sly as fox, for all
his effrontery, and that was his
strength. He gave the impression Of
being one kind Of rogue, whereas he
was quite another, as many had dis

more resourceful and cold-blooded

SHANGHAI, May 20.-As a feat
ure OF the crusade against opium
growing, smuggling and smoking
which is being waged in China the
minister OF the interior at Peklng
has issued an important proclamation
to all civil governors of the various
provinces instructing them TO en-
force the laws regarding opium. III
the laws are not enforced he states
that removal from office will be the
punishment.
The circular order to all civll gov
ernors is as follows.
AS the prohibition OF opium has
been embodied in a treaty with Great
Britain, and In view OF the repeated
protests OF the British Legation
against the alleged cultivation OF
poppy in various provinces with the
exception OF Shansi Kiangsu and a
few other provinces, II Is absolutely
necessary for the central govern
ment to adopt strong measures 10

OF this, and by the approval OF the
President and the Prime Minister

to infliCt adequate penalties upon
those authorities who permit the
cultivation OF poppy within their
jurisdiction hereafter.
