RUSH
DEFENSE IN CANTON
Shameen Hastily Fortified as
Feeling Against Europeans
Is Intensified.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
CANTON, June 22-Shameen, the
artificial island which Is the Canton
foreign settlement, today was in a
state of siege.
Two gunboats, one British and one
French, held commanding positions
in the creek separating Shameen
from the city. All approaches to the
island were fortified with piled up
sand bags and quick-firing guns testi-
Tying to the preparedness of the foreign
forces for emergencies.
All Europeans have been warned
not to enter Canton itself. In
Shameen it is believed they will be
safe. The placing of the two gun
boats Is supposed to make impossible
and landing by Chinese on the island.
A fresh contingent of French sailors
arrived this morning and took up
quarters in Shameen.
Foreign residents in the Y. NJ. c. A.
in Canton itself have been urged
to leave for some safer lodging. The
general strike is continuing under the
pressure brought to bear on workers
by the kuomingtang Peoples party,
the present ruling faction in Canton.
Some Chinese say that much of the
anti-foreignism being preached is the
result of Kuomintang concern.
Anti-foreign feeling is especially
strong against japanese and British
nationals and interests. The Ameri-
cans report receiving better treatment.

Some of the phases Of the Dawes

Despret. chairman of the Bank of

that the plan contained many illusions

ing
TT is really possible to pay and re-
ceive thousands Of millions without dis
astrous consequence for him who re.
ceives as we'll as for him who pays.
Failing payments in cash, IL that be
possible, how can we get paid? If the
debtor country pays in goods, to what
extent can it do SO without harming
the creditor country itself. which pro.
duces the very goods it must accept
in payment? Can the debtor country
pay in services, and in what services,
without. causing prejudice to the in
dustry, trade and labor Of the creditor
country?
"who can fail to see that these
problems extend beyond the question
of reparation for war damages or that,
they exist in exactly the same way be.
tween the debtor and creditor nations
in the matter of the debts incurred in
the war?
Questions Payment Plan.
"Are the interallied debts to be paid
in cash, in goods, or in services?"
Mr.. Booth announced that the re-
port of the chambers committee on
economic restoration would show that
successful transfer of. the annuities
provided for in the plan was the i'm
portant problem Of the moment.
'It will be necessary for Germany
to export more goods than she did
before the war with the least possible
disturbance, Of the natural markets of
other countries" he said.
1.-The opening up Of new continents
and the development Of natural re-

which did not exist before the war.

whether these outlets will be sufficient
If not, the ingenuity of the business

This dispatch was not an unregu-

to inform his office of his situation
1t is the only word from the corre-

a manner as to have little chance
for realization. Count Heraszthy
purchased teams and agriculture
implements and after a few weeks
stay in Milwaukee, started for Rock
River, to commence farming. There
were a great many curious stories
in circulation about the Count at
this time which originted in his
eccentric manners; few of which,
however, had other than partial
foundation in truth. It was said
that soon after leaving Milwaukee
his wagon got into a mole from
which all the ordinary methods Of
extraction failed to move it and
that he built fire under his horses
and smoked his pipe deliberately
while they got him and the wagon
out OF the dilemma.
At Rock River he located him
self near the Koshkonong upon a
beautiful tract Of land; built a
comfortable house, purchased oxen
and set ont breaking the land.
After a few weeks labor he was
informed that he was improving
the wrong quarter, which fact
subsequent examination proved to
be true. Shortly after his dwelling
was consumed by fire, and there
were those stupid or malicious
enough to declare that he had re-
sorted to the same trick practiced
upon the horses to extricate him
self from the new difficulty. His
next destination, We believe was
Sank Prairie, and not long. after
he was understood TO be in com
mand of little steamer at Az
ITALIAN, which, after making few
trips on the wisconsin led the
enterprising German to push his
exploits on the Mississippi.
* y *
Editors Note: The truth is when
the Count left Sank City he went
to California where he made quite
name. Later he went to Central
America and it is supposed he
fell from a log into the river and
was drowned possibly eaten by
the alligators.

Bees Declare War
on Flock of Geese;
Cause Death of 80

Enraged from some unknown
cause, bees, kept on the Claude
Moll farm just south of Ashland,
stung to death more than so ex-
pensive Toulouse geese.
Mrs. Mol, noticing one Of the
geese staggering around, found that
the bird was rapidly going blind
and strangling to death because Of
numerous stings about the head
where no feathers offered protec-
ton.
Some time later, after having
killed this goose, Mrs. Mol went
out to the goose yard where the
same thing was happening to all
the other geese. Each goose had
been stung many times. The en-
tire flock was going rapidly blind
and choking to death because of
the swelling
Mr. Mol, widely known bee
expert, was unable to offer any
explanation of the occurrence. He
suggested however. that one Of
the bees may have stung one OF
/ the geese accidently. The sting
leaves a poison scent which would
attract other bees. Thinking the
geese were enemies, the bees, at
the expense of their own lives,
would sting every goose within
sight.
