T was a glad day for the allies
when in April, 1917. with the
widest enthusiasm. the word was
4 passed along through the trenches
and on the battle fronts, America
is our ally" The allies were war
worn and weary; they had suffered
numerous defeats and hope had al
most disappeared.
Our first assistance was rendered in
the way Of extending financial aid,
under statutes passed in April. 1917.
and at later times. For loans, for the
sale of surplus supplies, for assistance
IN the way of food supplies, about
$40 $40 900, 900 was loaned or advanced
to those who were classified as EN-
gagged In war with the enemies of the
United States" Advances were made
to 20 nations.
In 1922 a debt commission was or
ganized. That commission at very
early date laid down three funda-
mental principles. First. that the
principal sum of the debts owed by
our foreign debtors should be paid.
Second, that the greatest possible
leniency should be shown in rates of
interest and time. Sixty-two years
was the practically invariable period
fixed for them all. Third. that in de-
ternining the terms as to time and
rates of interest. capacity to pay
should be taken into account.
Greece Only Exception.
Settlements have been made by this
commission with all countries except
Greece, and those settlements have
been ratified except that the Senate
has failed to approve that with Jugo-
slavia and that with France.

years to pay upon their debt. Indeed,

Chinese Disturbed
BY Eating of Meat

How the West appears to the ORR
entail travelling abroad is shown with
deft skill in a. letter received by a
Chinese here from his friend in Eng
land. He writes: you cannot civilize
these foreign devils. They win live
for weeks and months without touch
ing mouthful of rice, but they eat
the flesh of bullockss and goats in
enormous quantities. That is why
they smell like sheep themselves
Every day they take bath to rid
themselves of their disagreeable odors,
but they do not succeed. Nor do they
eat the meat cooked IN small pieces; it
is carried into the room in large
chunks. often half raw. and they cut,
slash and tear ID apart. II makes
civilized being perfectly nervous. One

latter are served first. reversing the

Reports of the beginnings of an
intense activity in the development
Of motor transport, designed to be
either supplementary or complement
tary TO the railways. are coming from
all over the world. Samuel L,
Vauclain of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works. however, has expressed the
belief that "in 10 years the railways
will hardly know what to do with the
increasing business brought to them
by the crossroads of motor lines now
building up"
If the railways will recognize this
they will understand that there Is no
real conflict between themselves and
the motor vehicle. There is no dues-
ton in the mind of the motor trans
port industry that the short haul is
the distinctive field Of the motor truck
and motor bus. and it appears to be
the judgment of those engaged in rail
transportation that the short haul,
both Of passengers and freight, brings
little profit to the rail carrier under
the best conditions, and often nets
him a loss.
We already have seen the substitu-
ton of buses for improbable street
railway and traction lines, and their
use as feeders for existing lines. par
ticularly in rural communities. Again.
with the extension of improved high
ways, a few railways are using buses
to reach communities they have never
served before, where the probable
volume of traffic would never justify
the construction even of a class G
road. Beyond a doubt, the answer to
the problem of passenger traffic on
lightly travelled branch railroads lies
either with the motor bus or its first
cousin, the gasoline rail car.
But as the freight car renders a
more ideal service than the Pullman
1t is to the motor truck that we must
turn to discover the most immediate

THINKS SCHOOL STOPS SHORT

The school should take
up the job which the
parent has abandoned for
the good of the State, says
this famous student of
boys. We must find some
thing to take the place of
the old-fashioned home.
The only thing that can
do this is the school or
some organization func-
tioning like the school. 1t
is very easy, says MIR.
Butcher, to get boys to
throw a ball at a basket
goal instead of bricks at
windows. The intelligent
supervision of play is the
hope of America against
the rising tide of Juvenile
crime.

T%HE raid on the Soviet embassy
In Picking last Wednesday was
the result of q long sta nding
Il feud between Soviet officials. on
the one hand, and Chang Tso.
lin and the Peking foreign population
on the other The latter have long
charged that the Soviet embassy
served as d base for anti-foreign agita-
ton. This i'll feeling has been so in
tense that Americans who have re-
ceived Soviet officials socially have
later been unofiicially reproved by
members of the American diplomatic
corps.
Soviet officials have, without doubt,
taken delight in embarrassing the
Peking diplomatic corps on every con-
ceiYable occasion. The first embar-
rassment occurred when Russia clev-
erly raised the status Of her Peking
legation to that embassy, thus max
ing Anba ssador Karakhan outrank
all other foreign diplomats, who We're
only Ministers. The Chinese foreign
Office laughed up its sleeve and
promptly sent all its communications
to Karakhan. who. as dean Of the
diplomatic corps, had the ironical duty
of passing these communications on
TO his colleagues. However, the other
diplomats rebelled. retained their
former organization with w. j.
Oudendijk, the Dutch Minister, as
senior officer and left karakhan alto
, gether out in the cold.
Buildings deliberately Decorated
Next the Soviet embassy buildings
were repaired and redecorated to
point even exceeding their splendor
during the old cZarist days and be-
came more imposing than any other
legation in Picking save that of the
British. The main Soviet gate, which
is directly opposite the American lega-
ton, was painted brilliant red and
the red flag with the hammer and
sickle was Haunted opposite the Stars
and Stripes In China, where face,
or appearance, is all-important, the
increased prestige of the Soviet en-
bassy did not add to the friendliness
of its relations with the other powers.
The unpopularity of the Russian
embassy reached it's climax during
the Summer of 1925, when China saw
the forerunner of the present wave
of anti-foreignism in the Shanghai
student riots, the shooting of Shakee
road in Canton, and various demon
STATIONS in Picking. During this
period 1t was known that various
Chinese agitators took refuge in the
Soviet embassy when pursued by the
Chinese police, and it was also sus-
pected that tons of radical literature
were being distributed from the en-
bassy grounds.
Holes Cut in Wall.
The Soviet embassy is separated
from the British embassy legation by
q single wall which is made of the
customary mud bricks. One morning
during the height of the agitation, the
British woke up to find that holes had
been dug at various intervals through

PROMINENT VALLEY
RESIDENT DIES

The many trends of j. z. Hamp-
ton, of Hover, were saddened to
hear of his death, August 10Th.
Mr.. Hampton had been IN poor
health for two years and short
time ago went to Seattle for treat
ment. 1t was found necessary to
operate, but in his weakened con-
dition he failed to rally. Services
were held in the Hover church on
Sunday afternoon under the d.
rection of Rev. Thompson. The
Masons had charge of the burial
services in the Kennewick ceme-
terry.
James Elmer Hampton was born
in Coffee county, Kansas, January
z, 1864. He lived there and in
Iowa with his parents until 1885.
He attended the Yankton college
of South Dakota for two years,
the University of Michigan lone
year and later entered the Morn
ingside college at Sioux City, from
which he received his law degree.
He was admitted to the bar by
the supreme court of Iowa and
commenced practice at Akron, o.,
where he continued ten years but
was compelled to give up his prac-
tice because of partial deafness.
After engaging in business for
a number of years he moved to
Wenatchee, and in 1910 to Hover,
where he resided until his death.
Mr.. Hampton was one of the
most progressive farmers in the
valley. He was the first grower
to introduce cantaloupes into the
valley on a commercial scale and
thru his able assistance and ex-
ample, aided many others to be-
