down from the mountains and
stormed the eastern gate Of the city
burning and destroying property.
They came without warning. 1t Is a
daily occurrence for several OF these
bandits to be beheaded along the
river near the mission.
Looked Upon As Gods
They go to their death like mar
tyrs and are very often reputed as
gods by the people and always by
| their fellow robbers. They have alb
| solutely no fear OF death. In one
year over thousand were summar-
lily executed here in Yuan Chow
but their numbers are increasing
alarmingly.
Now we are expecting another
more serious attack, because a few
days ago their commander in chief
was captured through treachery,
and executed. Some OF these chief
tains have thousands of men under
command in regular military fash
ion. Very often when the leaders
make peace with the government,
their men are all made regular SOL
diers
"They long since passed the
asking stage. They beg no aims
now. What they want they take
by force IL necessary.
! Nearly all are still in uniform.
Through the southern provinces they
march in military fashion, pillaging,
burning, kidnapping and numbering
as they move along.
Respect Old Glory
THE term soldiers and robbers
| has come to be synonymous to many
| in China. Only a few months back
several thousand of these robbers
besieged Yuan Chow for more than
| from all water supplies. Pestilence
soon broke out causing untold hard :
ship and misery.
! While speaking Of the robbers, ]
| might mention that the Stars and
Stripes are greatly respected by
them. We always hoist Old Glory
on our sampans, and doubtless this
fact, together with the good pray
! ers OF our friends in America, has
thus far kept us out of the bandits
clutches.
THE conference in Washington,
! too, has done much to make rela-
lions between China and America
most friendly. The Shantung ques-
Americas interest in her is unset
| fish, and that we are not all for
eign DEVILS"
Employment Only Solution
Father Timothy also has had eX-
perience with Chinese bandits. In
proceeding by boat from Hungkaing
to Shenchowfu, he and a party Of
friends were challenged three times
from the shore.
Knowing too we'll what the sum-
mons would mean we kept right on
going" he writes. II remained up
with the oarsmen lest they would be-
| come frightened and pull into the
bandits. / was expected to be fired
upon any minute. as was Father
Hipolito. and Augustinian, and last
| time he passed through the same
| locality.
1--WE made an excellent target as
we stood there grouped together in
| the clear moonlight. But We finally
got by successfully.
The missionaries unite in the be-
| lief that solution Of the whole
guerilla problem lies through gov
eminent Intervention by supplying
the rowing bands of hooters with
employment such as road building
and other public work.

Unfavorable. reports about proba BILE
serious curtailment of the wheat yield
in Kansas this season, and also in
France, had a bullish effect today on
the wheat market here. Closing prices
were firm, to cent net higher with

to 1.O9s. Corn. too finished 1 to cent

lower to 10 cents higher.
An upward tendency which the
wheat market showed at the opening
soon was followed by a material de-
cline, and it was only in the last hour
of trading that price sainst We're re
established. The initial strength OF
prices appeared to be due chiefly to an
unexpected advance in Liverpool quota
tions. However the Liverpool advance
failed to hold. the buying here Lacked
volume and there was as =; co pat
of the winter crop in Illinois. Missouri
and Nebraska. all suggesting much
larger production than previously lndl-
Gated. :.
Offerings of wheat became scarce in
the last half of the day. and shorts who
tried to buy met with difficulty. Under
such circumstances the market proved
sensitive to advices regarding Kansas
crop deterioration and to assertions :: ;
that the condition of the wheat crop ln
France was alarming because or pau
weather. A little investment buying
at the last gave added force to the
price advance and the finish was at
Virtually the days top figure.
Corn swayed with wheat. during we
late dealings liberal offers to buy july
corn at so cents and September at 20
cents brought about a tight situation,
