China's Five Demands.

Although the acute disturbances in
Canton and elsewhere in China have
ceased, there is a feeling Of keen
anxiety regarding the situation in that
country. Late dispatches indicate that
there is reason for this apprehension
regarding not only the coast cities but
some interior regions.
Two developments are reported to-
day which would seem to bring the
situation nearer to a crisis. A repre-
sentative Of the Chinese foreign Office
has presented at Shameen. the foreign
quarter in Canton, five demands by
the Chinese government, which in
clude that the British and French con-
suls apologize and be replaced by
the port, that Shameen be handed
back to the Chinese, that compensa
ton be made for all deaths and that
the naval officers apologize. AS a
measure Of precauio- '''o British and
French consuls ge request
ed all foreigners British
and French subjects |, Shameen.
At Peking it is announced that a man.
date has been issued appointing three
Chinese delegates to negotiate with a
committee representing the foreign
legations at the capital for a settle
ment of the disturbed conditions, the
discussions to begin later this week.
It is to be noted that while the Pc
king government has named delegates
to negotiate with q legation commit
by the foreign office directly upon the
British and French representatives at
Canton. This illustrates the difficulty
Of dealing with the situation. The
presentation of demands at Canton in
stead Of at Peking complicates the
case. The Peking government, in fact,
has but little authority outside Of a
small area around the capital. The de-
mands presented at Canton are by no
means likely to be considered serious
ly Thus far the British and French
authorities have maintained consist
emily the position that the outbreaks
and tragedies have been due to ag
gressive actions by Chinese mobs.
Apologies, compensations and official
replacement are not to be expected
short of complete reversal Of posi-
ton. The surrender of Shameen to
the Chinese involves the crux of the
whole situation. 1t could not be effect
ed without joint action by the powers
involving total abandonment Of the
Western policy toward China.

''Our Cat, Too"
10 the Editor Of The Star:

10 the Editor Of The Star:
Now, while talking of cats, I've q
cat story / am aching to tell.
Simba. That's her name. Got It
in remembrance Of a pet monkey
her master once owned in Kongo
Beige.
Simba was waddling kitten when
given to him and soon evinced
marked ownership Of him and q.
feminine purry fondness for being
scratched on the back and cuddled.
The big dog, Mona (also for an
Afric predecessor), was the kittens
playmate, bedfellow and fag in
general.
But if another dog appeared in the
yard IAN unfenced ono OF several
lots), Simba would stalk him, back
arched, tail bumped up. and then g.
fierce dart across the yard right at
the dog! No shining up a tree for
that kitten at q dogs approach.
First time saw the tiny thing throw
a dog out Of the grounds I simply
shrieked-it was worth going miles
to see," like Katisha's elbow! She
was just a gray streak across the
yard at that dog, who fed in frantic
haste. Clear into the adjacent lot
she chased him! TheM, while that
dumfounded. routed. .tai1.down dog
stood and glared after her, the kitten
returned to her. own yard, stiff.leg-
gedly stalking across the grass, every
inch the naughty victor!7
Too, she would watch for her mas
fer's automobile IN the evening, at
the time he was due from the city.

Vandal Children.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
AS a reader of The Star since 1857,
may 1 express through its columns
my surprise and indignation at the
ruthless destruction of the beautiful
work of art in Dupont Circle. Every
evening, during the late warm
weather. swarms of youth and chill
dren have chosen the lovely work of
the sculptor, French, as their play
thing: climbing upon it, throwing
stones and dirt at it, and, as a con-
sequence. the upper part of the bill
of the ''sea gull is entirely broken
off-disfiguring this whole statue, as
I see it. L found admonition and
entreaties to these young vandals of
no account.
I believe in giving the children of
this city as much playground as is
possible, but to turn them loose to
destroy in this way will most GER
tainly cultivate in them irreverence
and destructive habits never to be
cured. I am begging your attention
to the matter that timely prevention
of their acts may save the work of
art and also the tendencies of these
uncontrolled children.

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.
A Wonder.

A Wonder.
Uncle Jim is wonder. His wisdom
will thunder
In tones that inspire US with awe.
On our great Constitution, likewise,
evolution,
Offhand he can lay down the law.
He can reel off statistics; he ranks
with the mystics
Who revel in erudite lore.
He will fashion his phrases in mar
vetous mazes
Which patiently we must explore,
From Adams old story to Darwin's s
new glory
All chronicles he has unfurled.
He's prepared with orations about our
relations
At home or elsewhere in the world.
With his vast store Of knowledge that
beats any college
Passed out, for the price of a song,
In perpetual season, there's really no
reason
Why Congress should ever go
wrong.

Calvin Coolidge, who will be fifty
three years old on the Fourth of July
| the only one Of our Presidents to
| be born on the same day as the Re
public itself-is one of the youngest
| looking men of his age in public life
Both his wiry frame and head of
strawberry blond hair are of the
sort that accentuate eternal youth
| But the real cause Of the Presidents S
| inability to grow old is tempermental
The word worry is not in the Cool
| idge lexicon. He has. like all men,
| his moments of andaty, but he rare
| ly let's them obse0 him, and, of
course, he takes refuge in silence un-
der those circumstances to a degree
that is not common in many. The
President is little stouter and
| is developing around the temples
| a wisp or two of gray, but in
other physical respects he is utterly
| unchanged by the responsibilities he
| has borne since August, 1923. Mr..
| Coolidge is precisely the type of man
and mind that should enable him to
| live to a ripe old age. Probably the
principal worry he gives his doctors
is his invincible dislike of play.

This observer has left Washington
at the outset of an expedition Of ex-
ploration to our great West. Wash
ington. and the East generally, are
notoriously and traditionally unin-
formed, or at least underinformed, as
to what our fellow citizens, Midwest,
North and Far West, are saying and
thinking. Their expectations and
prejudices on national and interna-
tional affairs were never of greater
moment than now. Men Of the West
sit in many of the seats of the mighty
at Washington. They will preside
ninth Congress. Six members of the
cabinet hail from the open spaces.
Nearly all of the important committee
ships in both branches of Congress
have Western chairmen. Senator
Curtis of Kansas is administration
leader in the Senate and chairman
of it's now conspicuous committee on
rules.
For all Of these reasons it is we'll
to know what is on the mind Of the
West. Issues of transcendent impor-
tance to that region will be in the
during the next year, and ever after
ward. Coolidge strength in the West
is at high-water mark. To plumb it's
real depths and X-ray it's durability
will be one of the principal inquiries
to which the writer will devote him
self. If the star of American empire
continues to take its way Westward
as persistently as it has during the
past 10 years, one.time Eastern domi-
nation of our national politics will
be a dim and distant memory.

Underwood of the South
Is New Tax Fight Factor

The recent statement by Senator
Underwood Of Alabama in favor Of a
big slash in surtaxes, even TO the ex-
tent of restoring the pre-war maxi
mum rate of 13 per cent, has brought
him into a prominent position in the
countrywide tax discussion. Signifi-
cance is attached to his utterances be-
cause of his conspicuous position in
the South.
Referring to Senator Underwood as
''one Of the highest. If not the high
est authority in the United States on
taxation" the Birmingham News says
of the Senator'S recent utterances in
Montgomery on the subject: "He
makes it plain that 1t is the manifest
interest and duty Of the South to aid
in bringing down these war rates for
the South is in greatest need Of
money for development, enterprise,
backed with money, and initiative,
backed with money. But there IS no
incentive for money to go into pro-
ductive enterprises when 1t is prac-
tically conf1scated." The address is
described by the Springfield Illinois
State Journal as 'one of the most
remarkable public discussions of taxa
tion that this country has heard in
recent years." and one that could not
fail Ito convince those Americans
who are inspired by will to do Jus.
tice." Payments by European ma
tions. q Treasury surplus and income
tax payments which exceed all ex-
pectations" are cited by the Charlotte
observer with the query as to why
the taxes cannot be lowered and the
comment: opportunity seems to be
at hand for q material tightening Of
the burden. We might even hope for
return of the pre-war level advo-
Gated by Mr.. Underwood"
The experience of the Alabama
Senator is recognized by the Sacra-
mento Union with the statement:
The real statesmen Of the country,
regardless Of party affiliation, are
coming to the same conclusion on the
most important governmental issue
now pending. Senator Underwood
was the co-author Of the first revenue
law of the Wilson administration. He
took a conspicuous part in framing
wartime taxation bills. He knows
when abnormal taxation strangles
normal business, and he has the cour-
age to assist in applying a remedy"
Particular significance is seen by the
Providence Journal in the fact that
1.-The man who, in many quarters, is
regarded as the ablest Senator now
representing the South, has come out
so ole-heartedly in advocacy of the
general views held by Secretary Mel
lon on the surtax ISSUE" Further in

Tommy DAILY, Infant Hero.

Don't cry, mamma, I'll fix 1t"
little Tommy DAILY cried to his
mother. With childish hands he beat
out the flames that enveloped her
clothing. flames that caught and
scorched and burned Tommy's own
clothing and little face and body so
that later he died in a New York
hospital. The mother, though Sc
riously burned, will live. Tommy s
sacrifice was not IN vain.

ing, Tommy's and his sisters.
Tommy and Reta ran for the door.
Then Tommy heard his mother
scream and without hesitating he ran
back and put his arms around her,
fighting the fire.
Don't cry, mamma, III fix it."
Greater love hath no little boy than
to lay down his life for his mother.
Tommy Daily had love and courage.
two attributes that frequently go to-
gether in human beings.
The pity Of 1t all lies in the I'M
