PEACE IN CHINA
ON WAY, SAYS
GEN. HSU
London Mission Leader Says
Disturbances Are of
Local Origin
BY HARRY r. FLORY,
International Nerpa Service.

LONDON. Sept 1.-The Chinese
are rather anarchical. General Hsu,
leader of a mission of thirteen
Chinese public men now here TO
study English political, economic
and industrial conditions, admits it.,
but he believes better times are
coming.
During the past few years we
have had no peace or order" de-
clared General Hsu in an inter-
view. China has been a very
monarchical country, and the change
to the new order was so sudden
and unexpected.
I'VE have only just changed to
our new order of republicanism.
In England and America you have
been constitutional peoples for so
long that you are law abiding and
used to it, and you uphold your
countries interests. In China we
are new to such ideas.
I'm olden times the people had
nothing to do with government
which was the business of emperors
and Officials, Nowadays the people
are interested in politics. 1t is a
pity they are not educated TO the
idea Of unity.
Il believe in better days to come,
because during the last fourteen
years our unhappy experiences have
at any rate shown that the mis-
guided policies and misguided ideals
have fallen to the ground"
Present day anarchy in China is
confined TO local disturbances, Hsu
said. Trade is normal except in the
local areas of civil disturbances.
Present troubles, he charged, were
the work of petty politicians and
handful Of militarists.
The mission, which will remain
in England for five weeks. wal
then proceed to the United States.
I~Hsu's chief complaint against Eng.
land was that he and his men were
unable to begin their days work

DRY
MACHINE GOES
INTO POWER
Enforcement Of Prohibition
Law Taken Over by Andrews
and His "a Subchiefs

While many details still remain
tc be worked out. enforcement OF
the National Prohibition Act was
formerly taken over today by the
twenty-four newly appointed adj
ministrators will delay the complete
General L. C. Andrews, assistant
secretary of the Treasury.
Changes in personnel, including
the replacing OF a number OF ad-
ministrators will deIap the complete
operation of the new enforcement
plan for month or more.
It was announced at the Treas
ury. however, that the remodeled
enforcement machine was actually
in operation and that officials were
hopeful Of results.
Andrews to Take Rest
With the new machine at last in
motion, Andrews planned to leave
Washington tonight for a two
weeks rest at Grand Island.
Prohibition administrators, taking
over today the work of divisional
chiefs and State directors, began
the job of actually decentralizing
enforcement methods.
BY October Is, on which date
the entire field force will be dis
missed, Andrews anticipates that the
administration will have built UP
their new organization. Many of
the present agents and administra-
tive assistants probably will be re-
tanned, although a considerable re-
duction in the force is probable.
Six Months Test Needed
From six months to a years test
of the new system will be neces-
sary before it's value can be de-
termined. according to Treasury of
ficials.
Complete decentralization of pro-
hibition enforcement marks the
end of the system inaugurated with
passage of the VoIstead act.
Admittedly the old policy was i
failure, the Volstead act being the
most violated" law on the statute
books.
Officials predicted that the re.
vamped dry machine would make
possible at least 80 per cent ef-
claims 100 pere cent perfection for
any prohibition remedy.
Haynes Out of Power.
Passing of the old machine
marks the end of the dictatorship
of Roy A. Haynes, Federal prohibit
ton commissioner. Haynes, strip.
ped of virtually every executive au-
thority, remains as the figure-head
of the prohibition unit and a Kind

ury.

With the eye of the public fixed
today on Federal income tax re-
turns for 1924, the Department OF
Justice and police officials
throughout the country took q
more businesslike view of the earn

Of fortune building are not within

Eighteenth amendment went into
effect have accumulated billions
in profits, gamblers, smugglers
and others, are believed to have
! written a record of their actlvl-
ties across the official face of in
come tax returns.
Fear Long Prison Terms
Many who pursue questionable
vocations in life prefer to risk the
danger of prosecution for these mis-
demeanors rather than face long
uenitentiary sentences. heavy fines
and special assessments by failing
to make at least partial reports OF
their incomes, according to informa-
fion obtained BY the Treasury.
Special agents of the department
of Justice will take advantage or
the opportunity of open returns to
scan the earnings of a long list

Predicts Church Music
viii Replace Jazz
Within Year.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 20.--If hymns
were played in dance time and the
organ was replaced by the saxophone
and the trombone there would be no
more need for worry about how to
fill empty church pews, Ernie Golden,
orchestra director. asserted from the
pulpit of the West Side Religious
Forum yesterday. His talk on BET
ter Music in Religion was part of
the regular Sunday morning service.
Golden prophesied that jazz will be
extinct in New York within a year,
and to illustrate the type of music
which will supersede It his orchestra
played several hymns to dance time,
the saxophone and trombone predom-
mating.
There is more good music in
church hymns than in so-called pop
ular successes" he said, land the rea-
son that hymns are not so popular
is that they need popping up. Put
hymns to dance time and the converts
who pack the jazz dance palaces will
return to the church"
