PEKING, China. May 19.-The
situation arising from the kidnapping
CT foreign tourists by Chinese ban
dts near Lin Cheng, two weeks ago,
was growing darker today.
The government announced that
further negotiations with the ban
dts locking to release of the cap
tives, seemed impossible.
The announcement declared that
the bandits evidently have gained
in numerical strength and have de-
nanded not only the withdrawal of
government troops from the zone
considered bandit territory, but
from all of Shantung.
Granting of such demands would
leave the outlaws masters of the
entire province.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The
United States and the other powers
today decided to send another note
to the Chinese government demand
ing that the government troops sur
rounding the Shantung bandits be
withdrawn.
This announcement was made to-
day by the state department III max
ing public further reports from the
American legation in Peking, re-
garding American and other for.
cign prisoners of the brigands.

The Drama or the sea.

Twenty-Five days in an open boat
on the ocean affords an experience not
often equaled in the records Of the
sea. Perhaps an exposure Of such
length has not been recorded since
1894, when three members Of the crew
Of the yacht Mlgnonette endured q
memorable and tragic journey In an
open boat for "a days. The story Of
the Trevessas crew, when set out In

Guided that of the boat still missing

ing stories of the sea with which our
annals are full. Defoe knew well
that for the telling Of a tale Of the
sea narratives of fact gave the
best material. Captain Marryat could
not surpass or equal Hak]uyt, and
Stevenson envied the experience
which enabled Herman Melville to
deal in real events.

KEEPING IN TUNE

IF YOU are not willing to sing in
: tune with the inspiring music OF
industry ringing and roaring all about
you, there will come upon you the
bare and beggarly days which are
set apart by the Fates as pittance
for sluggards.
In the strength and buoyancy of
youth you may think that you can
escape them. There is no fear in
your mind, no prompting to be up and
doing, no worthy aspiration. To go
fiuttering and sailing about like but
tertiy when the air is soft and filed
with the fragrance of flowers, is your
one desire.
There Is pleasure in the world, and
you are going to get your share while
you have the capabilities to enjoy it.
The years call to you with voice of
idle laughter. In your case. they are
not made for noble endeavor of hand
or brain.
You proudly proclaim your manly
or womanly independence
You assert with emphasis that you
will not be subjected to the beck and
call of anybody. There Is but one
that shall say to you "yea" and may"
and that one is your arrogant, fool
ish self, out of tune with reason, sing
ing false notes so like the confused
souls of Babel that they fill the hearts
of your parents with a terror I'M
speakable.
They implore you to sing in tune.
Your answer is cackle and a strut.
1t is received with signs and tears.
Thousands of pleading fathers and
mothers like yours have waited and
waited for dulcet note, folded their
hands in disappointment and gone to
sleep.
1t Is story as old as the tomb of
Tut-Ankh-Amen, yet young as the bud

The average man will need all his
brains and all his energy studying
things that can be found out. We do
not mean things that are already
known. If you stopped with these, the
world would forever remain in its
present ignorance, which is vast com
pared with what 1t will know In the
future.
But where life comes from, why 1t
fiickers for brief space and dies,
and what is beyond the stars is some
thing that until we receive hitherto
unheard of light, we shall never know.
Waste no time on these problems.
They are as vain as the efforts Of the
alchemist to turn base metals to gold,
which occupied brains that might have
been better used on learning more use
full things.
Learn first the limitations Of the
subject that you study. That will
dispose Of much puzzle and worry, and
enable you to go ahead and give 1t
the time and thought that may add
to the worlds store Of wisdom, and
will certainly add to your own.

WASTING ENERGY

g INCE the beginning of time men
- have wasted millions of years of
energy in trying to solve the unknow-
able.
The mysteries of life and death, the
puzzle of space, these things are be-
yond the grasp of the human mind.
Let them alone. There is abundant
knowledge that can be learned, useful
knowledge that will help you with
your career.
Study that kind of knowledge. Take
mental food that your mind can digest.
Take it in abundance Work hard to
get it.
But do not torture your mind with
problems that are beyond your reach.
A scientist, searching for truth, de-
termines as soon as he can in what
directions ne can make progress. And
his researches follow In these direc-
lions.
Where he sees stone wall set up
against him, he turns aside
There is no use trying to travel any
further in that way. There Is plenty
Of work to do that can be done. And
that is the work that occupies the
Investigators mind.

YOU
BY GRACE E. HALL

You came from the shadowy Some
where one morn,
To dwell near the gate Of my heart ;
! felt delight that was suddenly born,
And strange, tender impulses start.
You gave new tint to the blossoms
that swayed
On the trellis. that morning in
Spring;
The pansies in far deeper hues were
arrayed.
The birds found new song to sing.
You came-and the world was a gar
den of bloom,
Each day was rose, sweet and red /;
You went-and the world is garden
of gloom,
And the roses are withered and dead.
