SHANGHAI, China, Aug. l. U.H
Government forces were mobilized
in Human province today against
the advance of Il powerful and well
armed band of brigands locally
designated as commissioning
trail of slaughter and destruction in
the interior.
With the important Yangtse river
city Of Hankow fearful of an at
tack and various other regions
threatened, the government claimed
to have recaptured the sacked city
of Changsha, the Kuo Min news
agency reported
After a reign of terror in whicl,
the outlaws destroyed most of the
city and killed many inhabitants.
the news agency's correspondent at
YOchow. in northern Hunan re-
ported the provincial forces had en-
tered the city and found all govern
ment business and large business
houses razed. The toll of slain was
large, the correspondent said.
Uncertainty caused foreign offis
cials to take precautions in all inn
portant points in the Yangtsc val
! ley, especially near Hankow where
foreigners were evacuated from the
summer resort of Kuling when the
invading army was reported ad-
vancing northward
The fact that poor crops and milf
tary operations in the interior have
left many regions without sufficient
food has been blamed for the in
creasing strength of outlaw bands,
often led by agitators Bandit
forces of varying size have long
preyed on interior provincial cities.
SHANGHAI, Aug. |. WH-Com-
ptunist forces moved northward from

province, of which Changsha is capi

muniSts and the Kuo Min agency

two government brigades occupied

mails In the fraudulent sale of oil stock, has Just been
made permanent physician to the Boys Brotherhood
Republic Of Chicago. And for our part. we have no doubt
that he will be an influence for good In this position.
The Boys Brotherhood Republic is q peculiar organ
ization: we have nothing quite like 1t in New York. It
Is composed Of boys who have got into trouble with the
law; 1t Is. however, self-governing, and elects its own
mayor clerk" etc., all Of whom are minors. And
obviously, Dr.. Cook can command the confidence Of
these boys to an extent that would be impossible for .
man who had not got into trouble with the law himself.
That he would lead them further astray Is an idea, we
believe. that can be dismissed 1t once. He Is q man of
cl0iouS contradictions: one-half Of him Is composed Of
brilliant ability. and from what one hears, Of marked
personal charm: the other half Is the slave Of . cheap
exhibittontsrn.~ q weakness for grandoee schemes to at
tain eminence without deserving It. ranging from Q fake
ascent Of Mount MCKINLEY in his youth to = fake voyage
to the north pole . few years later, and finally to the
sale OF fake OIL stock. But this, 1t must be manifest, Is .
very special kind Of antisocial impulse: It does not sug-
sest an inferior person exactly. but rather . superior
person With an unfortunate twist In his nature, and It
would hardly communicate itself to q lot Of boys whose
trouble Is much more elemental. Except. for this UNI
fortunate twist, al who know him seem to agree. Cook
Is . very decent fellow. In the prison he did work
among his fellow prisoners that Is highly spoken OF,
ana there Is no reason why he could not continue this
work among these delinquent boys. We. at least, believe
that he will. and wish him the best Of luck.

Baseball's Man of Tragedy

There are some men whom We have never met and vel
toward whom We feel as close Is a brother. One Of them
Is Walter johnson. baseballs grand old man.
In the newspapers, we have followed Walter Johnsona
career for years. We have never known hin to do q
single thing that was unsportsmanlike or u~ngentlemanly.
We have felt, as only a real friend can feel. the tragedy
that has so often marked his path.
Back in the world series Of 1925 we got the thrill of
our lives when he came back in that final game after
having twice failed. and won a championship for Wash
inston by pitching his heart out against the Giants. We
sympathized that rainy day In 1926 when he pitched q
wonderful game against Pittsburgh-and lost.
Frequently, he has been H.: several times apparently
near the point Of death. Hard luck seems to have pur-
sued him. And now the latest in his long series has been
the injury Of his young son in an auto accident.
All over the country there are baseball fans who would
like to grasp his hand and tell him. Is sincerely Is they
know how, that they hope that boy gets well In a hurry
and grows up to be Is fine q man as his Dad.

| HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES
Most cases Of arterial hardening
seem to begin with . toxic condition
Of the blood stream which irritates
the delicate inner walls Of the arter-
les, which first become thickened and
then in1iltrated with calcium salts.
When the latter process Is extensive.
the arteries, in the lower limbs will
show up under the X-ray and look
very much like pipe or very thin
bones. When the arteries have be.
come quite thickened and hardened,
they may become tortuous apd look
like winding COW paths.
There have been many discussions
about the relation Of arterial harden
ing and high blood pressure, discus
| sions taking on somewhat OF the form
Of the timeworn theme, Which
comes first-the chicken or the egg?"
In some cases, the arteries may hard
en- with very little rise in the blood
pressure. This usually occurs when
accompanied by senile degeneration.
The toxic condition preceding hard
ening Of the arteries seems to be built
up by eating wrong food combina-
lions or excuses Of starches and
sugars. The habit OF indiscriminate
eating will in time produce an acido-
sis in the body, and as the acid toxins
circulate through the arteries the lat
ter become tensed and finally coated
with the alkali along the inner lin
ing to protect themselves from this
acid irritation. Sometimes the pres
ence Of other poisons, such as lead
and the excessive use Of alcohol may
produce q similar condition and 1t
sometimes occurs in diseases such as
syphilis or diabetes. Any condition
which tends to load the body or blood
with harmful material, such as reten-
ton Of poisonous wastes from the
colon, too much uric acid Of the sys-
tenn, or the improper utilization Of
sugar in the body, will tend to bring
on an unhealthy state Of the blood
stream which affects the arteries
more or less, and often the valves Of
the heart.
When the arteries have become
