Chinese Continue
To Honor COnfucius

Though he must now play second nd
die to Sun Yat-sen, Confucius still COM
mands the respect of Chinese nation
alists, who have come to realize that
his teachings. interpreted in the light
of modern conditions, contain many
useful pointers The birthday of the
great sage was officially celebrated IN
Peiping recently. though without the
colorful ceremonies which marked the
occasion in pre-nationalist days For
merly the sacrifices to Confucius were
always carried out with solemn rites
and were attended by heads of the gov
eminent and all members of the cab
met.
The exercises usually were held at
dawn and many days in advance of the
occasion careful preparations were made
by the ministry of the interior. Musi-
clans wearing old Ming costumes played
| ancient Chinese tunes at the service,
from which the general public was ex-
cluded. though privileged visitors might
attend the rehearsals held the day be-
fore
This year all that was changed. Even
the date was altered. In former years
the occasion has been observed on the
27th day of the eighth moon, which, in
1929. falls on September 30. But Nam
king has banned the old-style calendar,
SO the Peiping authorities decided to
consider August 81 the corresponding
date in the solar calendar, as the sage's
birthday. On the morning of that day
they paid a brief visit to the Confucian
temple and bowed three times before
his tablet. Addresses explaining the
significance Of the occasion and enjoin-
| ing respect for the sages great philo-
sophical and ethical Teachings were
| given later In some Of the schools.

Cadets receive the pay and allowance
of a sergeant and a ration allowance
of 20 cents day. The instruction staff
includes three Haitian officers of out

The organization has charge of a
small coast guard of officers and 80
men, who have supervision over all
aids to navigation in Haitian waters.
There is small navy yard, with some
facilities for repair work The coast
guard maintains number of motor
launches.
Under article 10 of the 1915 treaty
Haitians eventually are to take over

this, two military districts are now COM

Both are close to the Dominican border
The police rurals, force auxiliary to
the garde, has a strength of about $50
men, with chief of section in practi-

auxiliary force helps in patroling, in
arresting offenders and in reducing
smuggling operations In territory where
1t is impracticable for the garde to
operate efnciently and regularly.

eral thousand sheep were killed in a
raid near Big Piney, Wyo., and three
sheen wagons were burned, with the
bedding and other effects of the
herders. On Trapper Greek, east of
Basin, Is masked men raided a sheep
camp. The herders were tied to trees.
Sticks of dynamite were placed at
several points about the camp. The
the fuses we're lighted and 400 of them
were blown to pieces.
A tragedy that stirred Wyoming took
place in the Norwood district of Big
Horn County. Joe Alleman, a promi-
nent cattleman, had sold out and gone
into the sheep business. He was in one
of his sheep camps with Joe Lazier and
Joe Emge: 1t was Alleman's first night
on the range in his new calling. The
camp was raided by masked men, who
fired into the sheep wagons where the
were killed as they slept. Alleman ran
and was shot dead. The wagons and
bodies of the men were burned and the
sheep were killed. Two herders, who
had escaped. gave evidence which led
to the summoning of cattleman as a
witness Before he could testify he was
assassinated. Others were arrested,
and eventually five were convicted.
Men and Sheep Killed.
A raid In the Tensleep district re-
suited in the killing of two sheepmen
and the slaughter of many sheep. In
killing the herders. the raiders fired
volley after volley into the sheep wagon.
Later. when the field was gone over, it
was found that some one among the
raiders had weakened" and had eject
ed loaded cartridges from his rifls. This
man was found and questioned. He
eventually broke down and gave infor-
nation which resulted in convictions.
Not only wyoming experienced these
sheep and cattle wars. Every grazing
State in the West had its record OF
raids and battles, and the Sheepmen
were by no means supine during these
troubles. They were not the sort to be
bluffed out by warnings. For instance,
there was a nervy sheepman. "Tobe''
Barnes Of Utah." who brought thou
sands of sheep every year to the Sum-
mef range in the Colorado Rockies. He
was warned not to bring any more
sheep into the COW country. But "Tobe"
had nearly 100000 sheep for which
Summer range must be found. He
started his fiocks for Colorado and
hired gunner to act as guards.
The guards rode ahead and on both
TANKS. ready for the raid which had
been threatened. When camp was
made at night sentries were posted in
military fashion. Two hundred cattle
men gathered in Western Colorado, and
for a while it looked as II the greatest
battle in range history was about to
take place. But the determined front
put up by the sheepmen settled the
situation. No raid was attempted and
the sheep were brought to their usual
Summer range. where they remained
under guard until it was time to take
them back to the Winter range in Utah.
Nor did Government control of the
public range quite end all these bitter
and deep-seated feuds of the grazing
country. Only a few months ago the
writer of this article had pointed out to
him In the strip" country of Arizona,
between the Grand Canyon and the
Utah line, q dam which had been dy-

toward incident marred the occasion.
The garde has police and fire func-
tons throughout the island. In the
rural areas small attachments of
guardsmen are stationed to deal with
all violations of the lay. Most of the
violations are of a minor nature. In
the larger cities the garde has charge
of the firefighting agencies. Several of
the cities now have modern fire depart
ments with up-to-date equipment.
The great increase in motor vehicles
has placed upon the garde a real
traffic problem. The organization holds
road censuses to determine what i'm
provements in bridges and roads are
needed to handle the growing traffic
requirements.

at the Caserne Dartiguenave on Novem-

leaders of the missionary movement.
But the mass education movement re-
CARDS the increased output OF the chi
nese farm as of less importance in the
long run than the fact that the farmers
themselves are being educated TO take
on the responsibility for 1t.
This Ia the thing which marks out
the mass education movement as some
thing distinct from all the other move
ments for reform in China. 1t Is an
effort 10 secure a real democracy In
dealing with common things OF daily lie.
Instead of looking TO some one above
them to tell them what to do the farm
ers Of Ting Hsien are. II the mass edu-
cation movement succeeds, to work out
their problems for themselves. There
are many in China who do not think
IL possible to achieve this end, for the
lower classes In the Orient have always
accepted leadership from above. But
Mr.. Yen and his colleagues cherish the
belief i'm o capacity for democracy in
ruraA china and If they succeed IN dem
onstrating the truth of their conviction
It cannot help but have an effect
throughout the whole country, for the
Chinese farmers constitute IS per cent
of the 400 600 900 people there, and
their conditions of life are sufficiently
similar to make O single experiment ma
tionwide. II the first thing taken up
was an improvement in the method
of making o livelihood from the sandy
fields which have been exhausted by
centuries of primitive farming, the Sec
ond step was naturally that of improv-
ing conditions of public health.
If there ever was q need OF health
survey and of an experiment in public
health, it Is in these Chinese rura
communities. The death rate Of chill

like 10 per cent. In many OF thess
