armies
OF KUOMINCHUN
ARE Defeated
Chinese Struggle Perils
Foreigners

PEKINc, March 8. - More than
five thousand casualties have occurred
in the fighting among Chinese faction
al armies south of Tientsin during the
past few days, according to official
advices here.
The national army has suffered the
most serious losses and has been
driven out Of Shantung, Chilli and
Honan provinces. The defeat in Honan
was due to ONT offensive under the
leadership of General WI Pei-fu.
ENJOYS of General Chang-Tso-lin
are now here discussing possible
peace pact with the national army to
end the warfare north of Tientsin.
Both Chang Tso-lin and WI Pei-fu
owe their temporary successes mainly
to the fact that they are abundantly
supplied with munitions of war and
money from foreign sources, and have
the open backing of the imperialist
powers.

Courtmartial British
Officers for Insult
to Wealthy Indian

BOMBAY. March s. Two British
non-commissioned officers have been
sentenced by a courtmartial held at
Poona to be reduced to the ranks and
another to the loss of three years Of
service for being drunk and disorder
ly while in an Indian railroad train.
One of the officers insisted on sit
ting on the knees of N. w. Goculdas,
the richest native mill owner of the
country, and in otherwise insulting
him.
This is the first time a British sol
der has been punished in India for
drunkenness, tho the peasants have
had to suffer continually from out
RACES perpetrated by them while in
that condition. While the general
opinion among the natives is that the
sentence is too light, the army circles
consider it as too severe.

MEXICO, CITY, March s-Mlnister
Of the Interior Teleda, in public
explanation of the controversy over
foreign religious teachers in the
schools of this country, states that
the law applies equally to all demo-
limitations. Catholic protests against
the closure only Of their institutions
led to it's extension, the minister
states.
The result, if the authorities carry
out their announced intention, will be
to close every protestant church as
none of the ministers are natiye-born
Mexicans nor have any of them been
naturalized. A prominent preacher
declares there will not be anyone left
to look after the spiritual needs of
the thousands of foreign residents.
Tejeda stated that most of the
states have assured the president
that the constitutional provision for
bidding foreign priests and ministers
will be strictly enforced. The govern.
ment has appointed inspectors tc
see that the churches comply with
the law. These officials will also
check up on the whereabouts of the
priests and ministers. Many are in
hiding and house-to-house hunt is
going on. Owners of houses decorated
with mourning crepe because OF the
catholic explosions are being listed
Arrests will probably follow on the
charge of seeking to incite disorder.

SOUTH POTENTIAL
EMPIRE OF TRADE
New Country Enjoying High
Level of Business AC-
tivity Now.

America has just discovered the
real SOuth-a potential empire of in
dustry that is coming into its own
with tremendous strides. The back
bone Of this realm curves through
the mountainous and fertile States Of
Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and the
CarOlinaS, with their vast stores of
natural resources lying ready for in
dustrious hands to- fashion into for

West are looking southwark toward
this bonanza with a social, industrial
and political eye. as if some model n
explorer had just given a new world
to them" says John f. EdgertOn in
the April Review of Reviews.
This new empire is enjoying a high
level of business activity.
The South produces more than half
Of the worlds supply of cotton. Its
mills consume more than twOthirds
OF the total consumption of the United
States. The rate at which the textile
industry is moving South is shown by

In 1925 over Is billion pounds of
tobacco were grown in the South. The
value of this crop was $l95. .082 600,
about 1890 of the value of the total
crop of the United States.
Agricultural diversification is being
extended. In 1924 the total value of
Southern farm products was about
1-3 billion dollars, of which cotton
and cotton seed represented less
than 25co.
The great expansion of manufactur-
ing is shown by annual value of manu-
