DEAL foreign intervention in
China may soon result from
the bloody doings of the Chinese
Communists in Human province, if
it is not already in effect. The
British are leading the way, send
ing a considerable number of sol
diers up the Yangtze to Hankow,
which was threatened by the Reds.
The troops were to be placed on a
cruiser ready to be landed if nee
essary to protect British property.
The American gunboat Tutuila
left for upriver to reinforce the
Palos, and the flagship Pittsburgh
of the Asiatic fleet, with a des-
troyer division, was on the way
from Tsingtao to Shanghai. Ja-
pan also was in action, sending a
number of destroyers with landing
parties of marines to Hankow,
Kiukiang and other river ports
threatened by Communist invasion.
The Nationalist government had
admitted its inability to guaran-
tee protection for foreign residents
of Hankow, though it was serding
additional troops to that region
and had re-occupied Changsha. The
Communists were still entrenched
in the hills about the city and were
continuing their sanguinary course,
having already slaien two thousand
Chinese residents of the place and
captured four thousand. 0utrages
against British Nationals included
the sending of severed finger of
Miss Edith Nettleton, missionary,
with a demand for $4,000 ransom
for herself and Miss Edith Harri-
son held captive a month, to the
British legation.

GREAT interest was felt in a
~ conference which Gov. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt of New York held
with John j. Raskob, former Gov.
AL Smith and other party leaders.
1t was understood that Mr.. Roose-
Welt would seek reelection on a
"dripping-wet" platform and would
make leading issue of public
electricity rates. The belief that
Mr.. Smith would place Mr.. Roose-
Welt in nomination at the state con-
vention.
Republicans of New York state
seem badly split as to the liquor
question. The vets led by former
Senator James w. Wadsworth, in
sist upon a declaration for repeal
of the Eighteenth amendment, de-
claring they will accept no COM
promise. The drys, on the other
hand, are as firm in their stand
and threaten to form a new dry
party if the wet plank is adopted.

Oklahoma and Texas have an

They have so many seeking Of

The second primary is to elm

The third is to get rid of half OF

The fourth is to eliminate any

l see. Just offhand here that Pol
ly Lauder Ga niece of Harry Lau-
ders), who married Gene Tunney,
has been dropped from the Reg
lister" If she had married So
ciety Bootlegger she would have
made the grade but when she mar
ried Gene, man who has been a
pretty fare type of Gentleman
who's only fault in his profession
was that he shook hands with you
before knocking you Cuckoo, why
they right away said that Polly
didn't grade up to par. She had
been negligent in picking a May
flower weed. Tunney's name new
er had been in "Baloney sheet
But it had to tell in there who she
had promised to Love honor and
break clean in the clinches with,
so in that way it had to name
Gene. So in a kind of back alley
way his name was in there, not
Intentionally in there but in there.
So / guess that's why they had to
drop Pollys. They left her in there
for one year to see if she would
MT repent and come back to Cock
tail cavalcade, but as she dident
why they just got themselves a
great big eraser and she dropped
in Social oblivion. And / bet that
just about broke that girls heart.
For here she spent a lifetime pick
ing out parents who were eligible
and now she had gone and Topped
after working hard to make the
grade and here at the last minute
flunked. Now what can she do
where can she go? Decent people
won't have anything to do with
her. Everybody will look at her
and say, "Why that's Polly Lau-
der. She used to be somebody and
was fine and social, but they drop
ped her right off the Book and
here she is practically destitute
of all the other members of the
great Fraternity Of those who are
somebody by grace of proper pro-
pagation.
