created what has proved to be up
to now a republic on paper only.
So far, the masterful war lords
have held the actual power.
1t is too soon vet. as friends OF
China like MacMurray and johnson
see it, to say that China-the COM
mon people OF China-at last are
coming INTO their own under the
Nationalist sway; there are still to
be reckoned with trio or more of
menacing war lords.
But MacMurray and Johnson
have had, too abiding faith in the
ultimate destiny of the Chinese peo-
pie. And every word of advice they
speak is and has been tlnctured with
that faith. 1t is written into the
fundamentals OF Americana Chinese
policy of today and is sure guide
to the deepest motives of the Wash

Perhaps this appeal will bear

towards collection and Identification
of the insects.
Not more than one-third OF the
flea species in all countries are
known. DR.. Jordan estimated. In
1904, in America north of Mexico,
only IS flea species were known az

Eleven thousand six hundred rein
deer are going on long trek from

The herd was gathered 80 years

for the expansion in numbers and
also for the movement TO new
fields for grazing.
The shortest and easiest route
across country will be sought.
Even so, the journey is expected to
