GAUNTLET TO CRITICS
By the Associated Press.


GALVESTON. Tex, April 7.-E.
Mont Reilly, former governor or Porto
Rico, has announced his intention to
challenge to public debate every
editor in the United States who criti-
cized his administration as soon al
his health improves. Mr.. Reilly de-
clared he had been the victim OF
malicious persecution because he had
tried to Americanize Porto Rico.
The former governor. who was a
storm center of political debate dur
ing his tenure of office as an ap-
pointee of President Harding, arrived
yesterday on the United States Army
transport st. Mihiel from Panama,
and made his first public statement
since resuming the role ofprivate citi-
zen. He is en- route to Washington
via New York.
Reilly asserted his persecution be-
gan when he attempted to "clean up"
the situation in Porto Rico. He
charged that hundreds of thousands
of dollars was spent in propaganda
against him in the United States by
the Porto Rioan unionists. 800

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 7.-Ambassador
Harvey plans to turn reporter again
to seek the facts in England's farm
strike, which, from the American point
of view, he considers the most impor-
tant current problem in Great Britain.
He will go through the Norfolk dis
trict next week questioning farmers and
strikers. hoping by personal investiga-
ton to obtain data thich, he says, can
not be had from the meager newspaper
reports and brief unsatisfactory par
liamentary debates.
Inasmuch as agriculture Is Ameri-
cas- basic industry, the ambassador
said he would be doing less than his
duty If he failed to send to Washing
ton all information obtalnable regard
ing the causes of the strike. means for
settlement and ways to prevent agri-
cultural labor troubles in the future.
He did not anticipate farm strike
issue in the United States, but declar-
ed the farmers there are confronted
with great problems, which must be
solved at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and he believed that in ques-
tions involving farmers the American
government should get the facts.
The Norfolk strike has entered a
new phase through the strikers hav-
Judge has warned that future cases
of intimidation will be handled Sc
verely, while the secretary OF the
farmers organization announces that
if intimidation continues, efforts will
be made to bring the police from
other counties to assist the Norfolk
officers.
May Buy u. s. Coal.
BY the Associated Press.
CARDIFF, Wales. April with
the strike in the Rhondda coal fields
now involving $4,000 men, leaders of
the industry are taking a gloomy view
of the future. They are particularly
concerned lest the European market
transfers it's orders to the United
States, from which large consign-
ments of coal are said to be already
on the way to France and Germany.
Italy, hitherto one of the best custom
ers of south Wales, is also reported
to be buying extensively in America.
Two hundred steamers are awaiting
coal In south Wales ports.

BUDDH|STS EMPLOY
/ REVIVAL METHODS
Priests Combat Christianity
With Its Own Weapons,
Says Missionary.

Buddhism is combating Christianity
with it's own weapons in China, ac-
cording to Dr. Theodore Bliss,
medical missionary in the orient. who
has come to the United States on
leave of absence in connection with
his work at the Episcopal Church
General Hospital at Wuchang.
THE inroads which Christianity
has been making among the Chin
ese," says DR.. Bliss, have stirred the
priests of Buddha to the inaugura-
tion of an evangelistic movement
which is one of the marked mani
festations of the awakened China
Use Christian Methods.
In large measure the Buddhists, led
by men who have graduated from
American or European universities,
are adapting to their own use the
methods which have resulted In VIM
ming to the Christian religion thous-
ands of converts among the Chinese.
They have their evang eliStS VINO are
going about through the provinces
preaching the doctrines of Buddha-
they are establishing mission stations
modelled after those maintained by
the Christian churches, they are open
ing schools. and latterly they have
built at Hankow, directely across the
Yangtse river from our hospital at
Wuchang, a modern hospital with
$50 beds, steam heated, with up-to-
date water supply, fully equipped
laboratory and all the other appur-
tenanceS of a. firSt-class modern med
ical institution. Their aim, frankly,
is to illustrate to the natives that
Buddhism, at least in material things,
is able to supply them with every
thing that Christianity has carried
TO their doors"
The notable thing in connection
with this Buddhist effort to combat
the spread Of Christianity Is the fact,
according to DR.. Bliss, that in China
there are no restrictions with regard
to the practice of medicine. Any
body in China is privileged to de-
clare himself a physician, hang out
a sign and begin treating any one
who wishes to assume the risk.
Medical Missionaries.
Under these circumstances. the
medical missionaries whom the
Christian churches have been sending
TO China heretofore have had a dis
tinct advantage over most of the
native practitioners, and the Chris
greatly advanced. Hence the new
movement of the BuddhistS to call
10 the service of Buddha all of the
up-to-date resources of western CIV
1lization.
DR.. Bliss points out significantly
the fact that the new Buddhist hos
pital at Hankow has two subsidiary
wings, one of which is a Buddhist
temple and the other of which is q
school in which those attending are
Instructed in the modern elementary
branches plus their religion of Gau-
'tama Buddha: and there is this fur
ther Interesting feature in connection
with the institution, that while mod
ern methods of medicine and sur
gerry are in vogue for those who de-
sire treatment according to western
standards, it is also possible for
those who desire to be treated by
incantations and all the other age
old methods of China,

RANGE CATTLE
LOOK FINE FOR
TIME OF SEASON

Cattle on the ranges adjacent to
Ely are looking better by far than
usual at this time of the season,
which is due to the late spring and
large amount of rain in June and
several copious showers during
more recent days.
They are sleek and fat and beef
in quantity could be rounded up
in this vicinity at any time that
the demand justified it.
Most of the beef now is from
yearlings and they especially are
looking we'll.
