ARE WE PULLING CHESTNI1TS2

1t will be nothing short of a miracle if the United
States can get out of the present tangle in China with
out the sacrifice Of American lives
AT Ilentsln, present danger point in the trouble
between Japan and China, we have $3.50 men, almost

10 De the scene of~fghtng, have 450 men compos-
ing the permanent marine guard kept at the Chinese
capital since the Boxer uprising in 1900 There
FORCES are larger than those of any other outside
on France with 400 colonial troops being nearest in
size.
There is no doubt that Japan's latest utimatum
to the Nationalist troops informing them that there
must be no hghtlng in Manchura is bound to aggra-
Vate an already tense situation.
, Chang kai-Shek, leader of the Nationasts, is not
kely to accept the japanese mandate without strug-
GLE He has not adopted the old Boxer cry Death to
foreigners but he is fully convinced that his army is
capable of holding. its with those of any other
power.
In this he may be right Certain it is that his
troops have given good account themselves in the
recent years of fighting and Chang himself has given
proof OF real ability as leader His men are we'll
equipped, and they will fight better against the
japanese than they have against the Northern Chi
nese troops, if it comes to point of open warfare with
Japan.
Nomnally foreign troops are in China to protect
their nationals Practically speaking, Japan is in
there to strengthen the hold which it already has
Manchurla 1t will be easy thing for nationals of
other nations to be killed if the japanese and Chinese
clash at Tiensin Pekn. In that event there is small
chance that the United States troops can avoid being
drawn into it. even though General Butler and other
American officials assert that their will not be
used to form unified force with the French British
Italians and Japanese.
There is great deal of difference between the
army Chang heads and that which the japanese faced
in the 1894 war with China Although torn by inter-
nal strife, China has progressed great deal since the
Boxer days, and with unlimited power available,
the Foreigners may find out that they have hard
nut to crack
Even while admit that the other nations have
right to protect their nationals in China if the Chi
nese cannot do So it looks very much though Japan
is quite willing to let Uncle Sam and the European
powers pull its chesnuts from the fire. The chestnut
puller never escapes without being plenfuy burned.

Bedtime Stories

Some of the older readers of
the Press. particularly those
who have no youngsters, are de-
sirous of sending Uncle Wig
gily' to the graveyard. They
claim the long-eared gentle
man of bedtime story fame is =
nuisance and have told the
editor of the Press so.
The latter wishes to find out
what all the readers, particular
ly the Juvenile ones, think about
the idea. If the youngsters, and
the older ones who have young
sters, want Uncle Wiggily'
he stays on the job. If they
don't want him, he goes to the
graveyard.
Readers are invited to write
in their verdict, addressing

Back Seat This Week

For. the first time in many
months the Fox Theater is rele-
eating the stage portion of it's
program to a secondary position
instead of the usual $3.50 basis
of routining the performance.
This was all brought about be-
cause Of the showing of Street
Angel with Janet Gaynor and
Charles Farrell. The desire of
the management was to show the
picture just as it was shown
during it's long run in New York
City. To give the usual stage
presentation would have required
cutting the picture.
There is, however, an atmoS.
pheric prelude that has Lawrence
Downey singing the beautiful
theme song Angela Mia" with
an appropriate and excellently
lighted stage background.
