DEMANDS CHINA
 ARREST SLAYER
American Representations in Murder of Missionary Embarrassing, as Chang Ching Yao Is PrOtege of
 New Coalition Government

Pekin, Dec. 29.-The American legation has protested formally to the Pekin government against the return to the capital of General Chang Ching-Yao. former military governor of the province of Human, whose troops killed the Rev. ". A. Reemert, an American missionary at Yo-Show in June, 1920.
 The legation reminded the Chinese foreign office that formal protests from Washington and demands for punishment of Chang had brought no results and insisted that now that he was in Pekin, the Chinese government was responsible for his detention, pending trial or other disposition of his case.
 Arrest Hardly Possible.
 The government is embarrassed by the new American demand, as Chang Ching Yao is now one of the follow CTS of General Chang Tsao-Lin, mili- tary governor of Manchuria, who formed the new coalition cabinet, and who is protecting him, thereby mak- ing his arrest by the civil authorities virtually impossible.
 The Rev. MT. Reemert was killed during an attack on the Reformed church mission at Yo-Show on June 16, 1920, while Chang Ching-Yao's troops were abandoning the place be- fore the pressure of the southern forces. Strong representations were made by the United States to the Pe- | n. sI gret for the incident, and in Septem- tion was informed that Chang had personally paid $45,000 to the mission as indemnity for the missionary's death.
 Chang was deposed as governor of Human in consequence of his failure in the campaign against the southern forces

VILLAS FOLLOWERS
 SOON TO GET LAND
Mexican Government to Carry Out Its Agreement With Former Rev
 olutionary Leader.

Mexico City, Dec 2S.-The men who served under General Francisco Villa, former revolutionist, are soon to receive from the government tracts of land in accordance with the agree ment made with Villa by the Huerta government at the time of his su- render in July. 1920.
 Two haciendas, one in Chihuahua and the other in Durango, will be used for the purpose, and the department of agriculture has appointed q com mission of engineers to divide the land. It is estimated that each man will receive six hectares (approxi- mately 15 acres).
 General Villa is living at Canutillo, on a hacienda given him by the gov efnment. At the time of his surren- der his troops numbered 600.

arms against the Spanish. Spain has sent big army to Morocco, but has not yet succeeded in putting down the rising.
 There was some fighting, also, in Hungary, when former Emperor Charles attempted to regain the Hun garian throne. The movement col- iapsed, and Charles is now an exile upon the Island of Madiera.
 A revolution broke out in Portugal which overturned the government. Conditions are still unsettled in Por- tugal, and the suggestion has been made that France, Spain and Italy in- tervane.
 A small war began in the Balkans when the Albanians took up arms against the Servians. Albania claimed that Jugo-Slavia was encroaching up- on her territory.
 Altho the Moscow soviet maintained its powers intact, there were a mum. Der of disturbances in Russia. A re- volt began at Kronstadt, the great fortress defending Petrograd on the sea side, but was put down by Leon Trotzky after several days of des- perate fighting. The latest uprising in Russian broke out in Ukraine. It was led by anti-bolshevists, and there was violent fighting in and around Kiev, the Ukrainian capital.
 There was Red uprising in Middle Germany, but it collapsed.
 Grave unrest broke out in India, where the Moplah tribesmen went up- on the warpath against the British. Many have been killed in fighting. Despite the turbulence in India the Prince of Wales carried out his plans to visit that country.
 Several times during the course of the year discord developed between Great Britain and France, and it looked for a time as tho the entente between the two countries would break down entirely. Some of the causes of the dissensions were Ger man indemnity, the Upper Silesian settlement, Frances desire to invade the Ruhr district of Germany, the Turkish war in the Near East and Frances treaty with the Turkish Nationalists.
 On the eve of the Washington con- ference Premier Hara of Japan was assassinated at Tokio. It was feared that the murder might affect Japan's policy at Washington, but apparently it did not.

SEVEN CHILDREN, 1,4OO POUNDS
Reunion of Wichita Family Christi
 mas Was First in Thirty Years.

Wichita, Dec. 27.-For the first time in thirty years, the family of Frank Harrison was reunited here Christmas day. The magnitude of the Christmas was evident in several ways, but in weight mostly.
 MT. Harrison's seven children, who spent the day with him, weighed in aggregate more than fourteen hun- dred pounds, an average of more than two hundred pounds each. MT. Har- rison is 75 years old and one of the oldest pioneers of Butler county, having lived on a farm between Au- gusta and Towanda for sixty-th years.
 Only two of the children weighed under two hundred pounds. The fam fly consists of five sons and two daughters.

Who Knows Ahout This,

Aunt Joan Mcdonald. the aged ne- gress who has been nurse for the youngsters at Morgan Pride's home, returned to her home at Horatio Fri day. Aunt Joan says that she was born in the log house that now stands in Janssen park, the event occurring in ante-bellum days and long before Mena was even thought of. There is some doubt about the correctness of this belief of the aged woman, and a report from any oid-timer who has knowledge of the facts would be ap- preciated.

Having lived in this land dedicated

perhaps entitled to say what believe
the nation has to be grateful for at
this Thanksgiving season, namely:
That we weathered the most dsac.
trous OF all wars with so little real
distress, and that we are not. under
the appalling shadow which hangs
over SO many of the earth's less fortu.
nate peoples
That we have come again INTO an
era of general prosperity and stability
out OF threatened chaos.
That the principles upon which The
United States was founded gov
eminent by the majority, built upon
the rights with which all human
beings are endowed-haye not been
by recent internal and external
events.
That the spread OF these principles
throughout the world--a spread when
