The Cordova daily times., 1923-01-26

SHANGHAI, Jan. 26.-The kidnap- ing of foreigners, the footing of for eign property and the general feeling of unrest and fear in the Honan Prov ince as a result of the activities of the daring bandits of this province, have created a delicate diplomatic sit nation in China.
 There is always a reason back of everything in China, although it is sometimes difficult to get to the bot tom of things. The cause of the pres ent trouble is politics.
 Honan has for many years been famous for her bandits. In 1914 and 1915 they were let by White Wolf, the most daring and wellknewn bandit leader in China. So powerful was White Wolf that he practically con- trolled three provinces.
 The only man who was able to cope with the bandits was Chao ri, Mill tary Governor of Honan. He was re- sponsible for the final capture of the White Wolf and his execution some time about 1915. In order to hold his position, however, he had to make cer- tain terms with the bandits. At their request he created certain offices, to which he appointed bandit leaders which enabled them to bleed the peo- pie of their money under Government protection.
 In the spring of 1922, during the war between General Wu-Pei-fu and Mar shal Chang Tso-lin, Chao ri rose up against Wu in Honan.
 Victory UnheraIded
 The sad thing about this was that Wu had already defeated Chang Tso- lin in the north, but due to faulty communication in China during the war, the news of the victory had not reached Honan.
 When General Wu returned to Loy- ang, in Honan Province, he outlawed Chao ri and appointed General Feng Yu-shang, the famous Christian gen. eral as military governor.
 Chao ri was determined to make Wu and Feng lose face with the
The Cordova daily times., 1923-01-26

Chinese and the foreign powers, so IS alleged to have ordered the bandits to go the limit. ...'
 While Wu and Feng are splendid generals, it is difficult to capture great bands of armed bandits in the mountainous regions of Honan, where modes of travel are very faulty
 Shortly after Wu's return to his home one of the bandit leaders-in order to show his scorn for General Wu-hung an insulting proclamation on the Loyang city gates, which of- fered a reward of $100,000 for the cap ture of General Wu.
 Missionaries Kidnaped
 With the kidnapping of missionaries the foreign powers became concerned about the havoc in Honan. But, ac' cording to a number of prominent Chi nese whom have interviewed on the situation the bandits have no desire to harm or molest the foreigners. Their object is to humiliate Wu by showing that he cannot maintain order even in his own province. AS result of the banditry General Feng General Supervisor of the Grand Army of China-and even Feng doesn't know just what the duties of his office are-and Wu is reported to be in communication with Chao ri. It is dangerous to prophecy what will happen in any situation in China, but one of the possible outcomes ot the trouble is that General Wu will re- store Chao Ti's "face" by giving him military title of importance and put, ting him in charge of a new regiment, which will be made up of the bandits. Regarding the present situation General Wu has issued a bulletin, which is as follows:
 "The majority of the bandits who have been creating trouble in Honan province were formerly soldiers of Chao Tfs command former Military Governor of Honan, who was outlawed by General Wu Pei-fu). They turned bandits partly as result of their de feat at the hands of the Chihli troops

PUB TO
 MAKE APPEAL TO FAMILIES

LONDON, Jan. 26.-Rev. Billy Sun en the Corner Where You Are," to become the slogan for brewers, but British brewers have taken his ad- vice.
 There is a campaign on foot to brighten up the British public houses. The brewers are going to make the pub" more home-like and most re- spectable.
 "The idea is," said Major Charles Perkins, director of Messrs Barclay < Perkins, "to erect in conjunction with the usual hotel amenities, a place where a rrlan can sit with his wife and children in decent sur reundings, and where the bar will not occupy the dominant place it does today.
 "It will be possible for women or children to have tea or milk as they wish, and to peruse the magazines. i We hope to have gardens and per haps roof gardens.
 "A new feature is the supplying of food, where the wife of a working ] man will be able upon a busy day to send for her family's dinner at midday, only heating in the gas stove or oven being necessary before it is ready for the table.
 What we want to do is to give the public a better class of refresh ment room.
 "The difficulty hitherto has been to persuade the licensing magistrates to realize that the brewer is not ne cessarily an enemy of society, and am glad to say that now we are get ting really hearty cooperation from the licensing benches"
 So it would seem that the dingy old pub" with their sawdusted floors and their bare benches along the wall, are destined to extinction
 The pub" is time-honored as the workingmans clubs, and for ages British workingmen have sat around in barren and narrow little barrocms and discussed their affairs, often while their wives stood outside hold ing children in their arms. Under the Children's Act minors are not permitted to enter public houses, and

a reply giving assurances that he was already taking action along the lines suggested. It is believed that the for eign ministers in Picking and the Con- sul-General in Hankow are satisfied that General Wu is doing his best to meet their requests and follow their suggestions. The report now spread by propaganda organs exaggerating the so-called unfriendly attitude of the diplomatic body is presumably with out foundation.
 Measures Being Taken to Secure
 Release of Foreigners
 Since General Chin Yun-ao, com mander of the Fourteenth Division, was appointed commander-in-chief of the Bandit Suppression Force, large detachments of troops have been con- centrated at various points on the Kin. Han and Lung-Hai railways in ord that by joint movement they might round up the various bandit bodies Preliminary movements have now been completed, and within the next day OF so an order for a genera movement will be given. The com mander-in-chief has been given time limit to complete the suppression q , the bandits and has been told that his work must be done by the end of the year. As for the release of the cap tured foreigners, effective plans have also been worked out On the 17tl ! instant General Wu Pei-fu, in a tele graphic reply to an inquiry iron [ Dr. Schurman, detailed the measures that were being taken for the sup pression of the bandits. He mentioned the present condition of the captured l foreigners and three measures Whicf he proposed to adopt to effect thei i release. He gave assurance that while planning military movements for the suppression of the bandits, h. was taking steps to have the foreign CTS released at the same time.
 "The military plans prepared by thu commander-in-chi (Chin Yun-ao) con template the rounding up of the tufei but at the same time they will be en couraged to surrender themselves ant 1 their captives.
 'On the 23d instant General WI communicated with the Governor o Honan suggested that the hsien mag istrates throughout the province b. ordered to supply a complete list 0 foreign residents so that in every cas, soldiers could be sent to guard thei residences. The reply to this was al | assurance that the suggestion hat ! been followed immediately and tha adequate protection would be givel foreigners evrywhere. It is therefor, unlikely that there will be any furthe 1 kidnapping"

this has rather cramped the style of some of England's best drinkers, be- cause it means the prohibition of family drinking. Now the brewers intend to arrange the public houses so that there can be unrestrained family drinking.
 The brewers are going to Brighten the Corners" where they are, and it looks as though this is just one more step to raise the barriers against the possibilities of prohibition.
