san FRANCISCO, April 2l.-
If Yen. Iisi Shan, "'broncho busting
Tuchun' of Shansi yields to the
requests. of Wa Pei Flu and heads Il
coalition government in Pckin, it
will be the heaviest reverse the anti
foreign and radical elements have
yet suffered.
In spirit, Yen is in many ways the
most Occidental of all Chinese of
ficias.
While other provinces have war
red, Yen has built roads, establish
ed cattle ranches, carried on expert
mental agriculture and horticulture,
suppressed bandtry and started
SCHOOLS.
When he wanted to improve the
quality of Shansi cattle he import
ed breeding stock from America. He
employed American broncho busters
to subduc the China ponies and ride
the Shansi ranges. He studied the
cattle industry personally and pro-
duced results, meanwhile building
up Il model army of provincial pro-
lection only.
In the wars that have ragged ON
the northern plains since the death
of Yuan Sinh Kai, Yen has sent con
gratulationS to one victor after an
other and then returned to his or
chards and herds.
He has often been asked to take
office in Pekim and as often refus-
ed. always commenting on the brev-
ity of official life in China.
Though not profesSed Christian,
Yen has given missionary entcrpriS-
es unlimited opportunities. He in
vited the Red Cross to build its fam
inc roads in his province and his
capital, Taiyuanfu is today connect
ed by motor highway with the rail-
road.
/ One thing is almost certain. If
Yen Hsi Shan goes to Pekin he will
take his model army with him and
I Yen, not Wa Pei Flu or Chang Tso
Lin, will dictate to whatever gov
crnment is set up.

Regarding the recent dispatch from San Francisco, relative to the annual report of the Alaska Juneau Gold Min ing Company in which it announced a net loss, before depletion, of 2,030,- |O67.16, the Juneau Empire states :
 "The foregoing does not indicate a loss in local operations. ! The profits over local operating costs last year were approximately $13O,OO0, in ad- dition to capital expenditures for inn provements and expansion amounting to more than $25O,OO0. That would mean an actual operating profit ex- ceeding $3S0,O00 compared with a sim liar showing of s21S,0oO in 1924.
 F The deficit means, therefore, that the company expended $10, S35.96 for improvements and expansion more than the total earnings after, interest and outside. overhead were paid.

SHOOT TELLS FRANCE
 CANNOT EXPECT DEBT TERMS EQUAL ID ITALY
The Debate on the Ratifica- tion Proceeds with Fas-
 cism Looming As Issue
FRANCE IS OUT 0F LUCK
Determined Opposition Was Apparent During Debate

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 50. (P) Senator Shoot, speaking for the Ad' ministration, opened the battle for the ratification of the Italian debt agree ment in the Senate by declaring that France is following false trail if she believes she will get settlement on the same terms as Italy. He said there was a comparison between the two cases, but declared that the payments under the agreement must come from that of the Italian workingmen, who get one-quarter the amount of meat, one-sixth the sugar, one-third the DO tatoes and one-ffth the coffee the av- craze American gets.
 As the debate began with a deter mined opposition apparent, fascism and the policy of Premier Mussolini loomed large as an issue. The poli- cies of the Italian Government, even those relating to the recent happen ings in Tyrol are none of the Senates business and have no bearing on the settlement, he declared. Johnson, of California, who led the opposition, said that if Shoots picture of Italy was true the U. s. should float an other Liberty Loan and give Italy the proceeds, but that he doubted that the information was correct.
