 'Tisn't horseless world yet, by any means. We've been harboring the idea that mechanical devisas have just about run old Darby into the boneyard of useless things. Not so! For now come demands on horse breeders that production of good horses and mules must be doubled to take care of growing needs.
 We don't dabble much in the li- 1duor question, but odd news comes cut of Oklahoma. That State never was legally wet. As Indian Terri tory, liquor was prohibited within 1 its borders by Federal Law. As a State, it was dry before the dry law became effective. Still the State claims the largest percentage of ci- t:zens regularly engaged in the man. ufacture and distribution of intoxl- cants. The oddity comes in the fact that the business is carried openly and with no apparent fear of legal mix-up.

Relief In Sight,

Annoy, Dec. R>-Relief was in sight for the big foreign colony, to- day at Foochow, which has been in danger for several days as northern and southern troops fight for the control of Fukien province. Tele- grams from there say Japanese gum boats have arrived, and are the first to reach the Poras the result of the appeals of consuls there for pro- lection.
 In the fighting south and west of Foochow yesterday 800 casualties were reported.
 The forces of General Changi, subordinate of Marshal Sun Chuan- Fang, one of the allies of the north ern army that is resisting the Cam tonese revolutionary army, are re- tiring toward Yenpengfu, north west of Foochow. General Chai-s si who was commander of all of the forces of South Fukien province except Annoy city and Island expect ed to retire upon Foochow and there, uniting with General II Sem Chun and his army make 8 stand against the Cantonese.
 However General L turned against his former allies in favor of the Cantonese and as 8 result when Changi's forces encountered super for numbers of Cantonese they were obliged to drop back toward Yen- pengful instead of returning to Foochow.
 Naval forces stationed at Foochow also have gone over to the Canton side so that it now appears that Toochow and the entire province of Fukien is certain to be lost to Marshal Sun and the northern and it's capture and that of Chekiang made easy for the southerners.
 The routing of General Changi and the treachery of General Li it is not believed will make the situ- ation of the foreigners any more difficult as the city already is under martial law and business is sus- pended.

FOREIGNERS ARE STILL IN DANCER
Situation in China However,
 Reported as Easier

Foreign colonies in Foochow and Hankow still are harassed by threats of trouble as the northern forces are being broken up by the Cantonese in two provinces, Fukien and Jupeh.
 As the southern army tightens its grip. however, the situation shows promise of easing. The northern army has been routed at Foochow and the civil government, aided by naval authorities. both friendly to tho invading southerners. have promised protection to foreigners.
 In Fukien province northern troops are going over to the Can- tonese side as the political com- plexion of the state changes. Gen. eral Ii Sen Chun turned upon his northern ally, General Changi. near Foochow, routed him and is joining the Cantonese.
 Japanese gunboats have arrived at Foochow, the first to respond to appeals of foreigners. The city is under martial law and business is suspended.
 At Kankow, q general strike is threatened in the foreign conces- sions. The city is under the uncer- tain rules of labor unions friendly to the southerners but order has not been established. It is believed the situation there will be relieved as soon as the southerners fulfill their purpose to establish their capital at Wuchang, near Hankow. and take a tighter hold on Upheh province. Reports from Kankow yesterday said two American gunboats and other foreign craft are anchored there and others are on the way, The general strike is planned for December 4.
 The desertion of the northern forces at Foechow Is merely another reptition of the treachery that has been the lot Of the northern allies In recent months. On virtually every front since midsummer the tide of battle has been turned against the northerners and forces friendly to them by the defecton of fighting units.
 Marshal Wu Pei-Fu. until the phenominal rise of General Chang Kai-Shek. generalissimo of the rev. olutionary army, the strong man of China, was disastrously routed in the north by treachery. A similar fate met Marshal Wu's ally Marshal Chang Tso-Lin. and many of the most important cities of the old em- pire fell into the possession of the Canton government without blood shed.
