ORDER IN CHINA
INSISTED upon
Gen. WI Is Told That Meas
ures Must be Taken to
Safeguard Life in Two
chinese Provinces

Peking, Dec. /, (by the Associat-
ed Press)-General Wu-Pei Fu, the
military power of North China was
told today that he is equally re-
sponsible with the Chinese fOVern-
ment for the safety and release of
a number of American and other
foreign missionaries, who were
kidnapped by bandit army of 80
000 in Honan province on Novem-
Der 16.
The warning came from Peking
diplomatic representatives OF
America, Great Britain, France,
Italy and Sweden, who telegraphed
to WI Pei-Fu through the Chinese
foreign office and pointed out also
that the governor of Honan prov
ince and other high officials are
responsible for the safety of mis-
sionaries kidnapped. The telegram
announces the appointment OF
joint commission to proceed to Ho-
nan to work in conjunction with a
delegation from Hankow consular
bodies in inducement General Wu
Pei-Fu to use his influence with
the bandits to release the mission
aries.
The Chinese foreign office cites
to WI Pei-Fu the lack Of results
from the request for the release
of the missionaries made by the
Peking diplomatic representative
on November 16 and adds that il
is in entire sympathy with the ac-
ton taken and insists that meas
ures be taken to restore order in
Honan and HankOw provinces
which will safeguard life.

mony was of great magnificencc
The festivities were to last three
days, ending Sunday. when the

mortal Address

their entrance into the assembly

chestra, under the direction OF
John Morelli. From the opening
Of services until the close few
minutes more than an hour was
spent.
The memorial address was given
by John r. S'mms. He dealt with
the reasons why we should at times
stop the busy affairs of life to me-
morialize the dead.
Mr.. Simms said II is the Ameri-
can idea of living both the present
and future and dlsregarding the
obligations we owe to the past. He
stressed the debt of gratitude
which we owe to the labors of men
now dead.
He llled attention to the fact
that not only our government but
also most of the social aid business
opportunities of life have been be-
queathed to us by men who are
now underground. He remarked
that as much brains. as sincere
patriotism has gone before as exists
today.
The S. ealer called attention to
the transient nature of mans activ-
ity In life and the certainty of his
soon quitting it. He then com
pared the useless grief and the
time and money expended in the
practice of erecting perishable
