u {. TWILL KEEP
CHINA TRQQPs

Permanent retention Of large
force Of American troops in China
now appears unavoidable in the
opinion Of officials here. Hopes en-.
tertained by the Government that
some Of the 5000 Marines on duty
in the Far East could soon be with
drawn have been smashed, not only
by the new threat against the
security Of foreigners In Shanghai
and elsewhere, but by the growing
fear that the recent turn Of events
have made peace and order virtually
impossible for a number OF years.
Secretary of State Kellogg was
represented today as believing that
the chaos in China has become
chronic" and so long as that cons
dition obtains there can be no change
IN American plans or policy.
These plans call for the presence
of three arguments of Marines in
Shanghai, Tientsin and Peking for
the protection of the 5000 or 10000
Americans remaining in China.
An announcement by the Navy
Department today that there had
been no reduction either in the num-
Der Of ships or in the fighting per-
sonnet In the Far East since last
April. despite the apparent iull in
the civil warfare during the summer,
strengthened the feeling here that
the occupation" viii continue in
force for some time to come.
Approximately 1900 Marines are
stationed at Tientsin, to which city
they were sent early in the summer
when it appeared likely that that
city would fall to the Nationalist.
Another 5000 are at Shanghai, to-
ward which four rival Chinese
armies are now driving. About
500 more are permanently stationed
IN Picking and 900 regular soldiers
are on railroad guard duty at
Tientsin.
The Navy has ST vessels in

The Gilliom letter left no doubt
as to the facts. He openly said that
the life of one of his sons was GER
tainly saved by the use of whisky
obtained Illegally. 1t stated that the
Governor had also procured whisky
from friends who had it for use in
emergencies not recognized by law.

Governor Jackson refused to make
any comment whatever, either to af-
firm the statement of Gilliom that
he had procured whisky or 70 denny
that fact The physician who treated
Mrs. Jackson was also reticent, but
declared that real whisky should be
procurable legally for such cases.
The physician who treated the Gill
liom boy declared that he had ad-
vised it's use, that it saved the life of
the boy and declares the law to be
'asinine if not criminal.
From the Anti-Saloon League
head, the Rev. E. S. Shumaker, came
the stock argument that whisky is
never necessary, but he made no
suggestion that Gilliom or the Gov
ernor be prosecuted for violating
the law in that emergency.
Prosecutor William Fl. Remy de-
clared that the present law will be
enforced. He did not say that he

that he had prescribed its use, con-
