LUNG CONGESTION
MENACESPO|NCARE
Former French Premier Is
Confined to Bed, in Seri-
GUS Condition.
BY Radio to The Star.

PARIS, August 31.-Former Premier
Poincare, who Is suffering from pull
monary congestion, was reported today
to be in a much more serious condition
than at first had been thought, and the
doctors officially admitted that he
again was confined to his bed and
would not be in position to- undergo
a second operation in the near future.
Two prime miniSters-Briand and
acDonald-called at his home in the
Rue Marboeuf today, but were not al
lowed to see him. They were told he
needed complete rest, and could not
be disturbed. M. Boiding, his personal
physician. declared that there was no
reason whatever to be alarmed by M.
Poincare,s present condition, since the
focus Of congestion in the lung was
decreasing.
It was learned, however, from circles
close to the patient, that for several
days his temperature has been about
102, causing much anxiety to Nine.
Poincare, who realizes that his unusu-
ally strong constitution has been under
mined by the last three years of all but
superhuman work and the operation
performed upon him month nRo.
It Is feared that the former pre-
mier's heart may suffer from the strain
of high temperature and thus the
chances will not be SO good Tor Sec
ond operation, which the doctors admit
is expected to be much more dangerous
than the first.
The seriousness of M. Poincare's state
Of health was discovered a few days
ago when two Of his friends occupying
high positions in the administration
called upon him but were not admitted
to see him. They were informed that
his temperature was unusually high.
Alarmed by such statement, they
insisted upon the need of calling an
immediate conference of physicians to
investigate the cause of such a sudden
aggravation. 1t was found to be a
congestion of the lung. and measures
were taken to isolate the trouble and
prevent it from spreading further.
1t is hoped now that his illness will
not last long, but 1t is certain that
M. Poincare will not be in a position
to undergo a second operation before
the middle or end of october and will
not return to public life during the
coming Winter, If at all.

Shrill cries of dying men and women

You could see them grasping wildly

Consulate Guarded.
British soldiers have been stationed
at the American consulate in Jerusa-

A letter addressed to Henry L. Slim
son. Secretary of State, asking whether
protection would be afforded Americans
who were in Palestine on passports from
which the oath to defend the ConStitu-
ton had been deleted, was made public
here tonight by H. Ralph Burton, gen.
eral counsel for number OF American
patriotic organizations.
Writes Second Letter.
Mr.. Burton disclosed that he had
written Secretary Stimson on the mat
ter some time back, but had not received
a rely. In his second letter he asked
the Secretary of State whether, snouto
it become necessary to send troops 10
protect Americans in Palestine. the
same degree of protection would be
given those who took the oath to de
fend with arms" the American Consti-
tuition as those who refused at the time
of accepting their passports.
The State Department had no com.
ment to make on the letter. In view OF
the fact, however, that there has never
been any thought on the part OF Presl-
dent Hoover of sending American troops
to a country over which Great Britain
has a mandate, well informed quarters
regarded the communication as unim..
portant and unlikely to arouse formal
reply.

particular army, which was marching
in to occupy Boxertown and loot the
townspeople. Victorious armies in
China always loot a town when they
occupy 1t.
This particular army, afterward
learned, had not been paid in six
months. AS the men lived on loot,
they were most eager to get into Box
ertown after the long march through
the interior northward from the Yang
TIE Valley. The presence of the hostile
troops accounted for the groups I had
seen hurrying toward Tientsin with
their worldly possessions. They were
trying to escape the wrath of the in

not proceed while my car blocked the
entire thoroughfare virtually from

didn't like my presence. 1t interfered
with their orderly purposes.
AN CACHduSG VI ScOWIS.
The generals of the army didn't speak
English and I speak no Chinese. There
was no interpreter.
The generals and other high officers
glared at me. For want of something
better scowled at them. They con-

they glared some more. Tired of scowl-

This incident is recited to show the
friendly relations which had developed
in the Tientsin area between the Chi

the villagers that, fearing they were
about to be looted. they still desired to
save me from difficulty and tried to do
so by waving me back.
Later the Marines were to become

Kept Their Heads Up"
This man and his family, amid all
the degenerating influences OF the
mountain hollow environment, have
kept their heads up," never entirely
lost touch with the outside world, and
lived in comparative comfort. The
striking contrast between their home
and those of their neighbors illustrates
what even a minimum OF culture ana
inspiration can accomplish.
The boy even has checker board
with buttons for checkers. He intends
to leave the mountains and be farmer
in the valley because Il like some OF
my kinfolkS there"
Conditions were not always like this
in the holloWS, says the mountain min
lister. About 80 years ago an old man
with a staff, like prophet out OF the
Old Testament. tramped over the stony
mountain trails with a heavy burden
of tracts on his back. He was mis-
sionary of the Plymouth Brethren from
Canada. He stirred up religious revival.
Most of the folks for miles around be-
came members of the sect. 1t was
then that the minister himself heard
the silent call to preach the gospel.
But many of the people, especially
the families now living in the worst
conditions, have back-slid, he says.
There are multiplying signs that the
end of time is near at hand, although
the preacher sets no date for the pre-
dicted event. But he looks forward to
the day when the sky shall open over
the mountain crags and the Lord Him
self shall descend from Heaven with
shout"
Have Lost Interest.
The people, he says, have lost IN
terest. The testamentS have dlsap-
peared from the cabins. There Is no
body able to read them. Children grow
up with no instruction, the people are
lazier and the cabins dirtier. No
native beliefs have grown up to take
the place of the creed of the Plymouth
Brethren. A few families go to Bap-
fist and Methodist churches in the val
ley occasionally, but it is hard TO get
down from the mountains. There is
a Plymouth Brethren minister at Old
rag. S or miles away.
The minister used to hold hymn-slng-
ing services at the schoolhouse. The
congregation could read neither the
words nor the music but after hearing
a hymn once or twice some OF tnem
a1uavc could remember it, His son
can sing a hymn pretty we'll after
hearing it only once.
About 2 miles from the minister's
house is the Corbin Hollow graveyard
Death comes frequently to the hollows
during the Winter. The men of the
neighborhood make a rough eWn
coffin and the same individuals lower
it into the grave. A mountain boulder
is placed at the head and a smaller
