DIR. WI Returning to China Opposing
Policies of Government at Marking

the child who has these diseases Of in
fancy simultaneously.
THE wonder Is not that China Is
unsettled, but that China Is not more
unsettled Except for the districts
actually in the area of warlike opera
lions, China is. as a whole, rot only
continuing its daily life, but going Tor
ward Until the present worldwide
depression set In, which has affected
China like other countries, the trade
returns of each year were record f1g-
ures each total surprising the previous
years trade"
well. then. on the whole, you con-
template the future Of China In spirit
of confidence. DR.. Wu?"
To answer that question directly. "
came the response, Il should say that
in my opinion. the outlook for peace
full and stable China depends on two
factors one political and the other eco
nomic The political factor is the es-
tablishment of a civilian government
Wars and disturbances in the past have
been due to militarism, in which poll
tics is played with bavonets. The sub
ordination of the military element to
the civilian, whether in the central gov
eminent or in the local governments
is absolutely essential.
Communications Lacking.
THE economic factor is the necessity
Of communications. China is woefully
deficient in modern methods of trans
portation. She has only about 5000
miles Of railroads in a country larger
than the combined areas OF the United
States, Mexico, Central America and
Chile. In the main. she has to depend
on methods Of travel such as existed
two to three thousand years ago, She
has. therefore. to build many more rail-
roads She has made remarkable prog
ress in the construction Of highways,
but she needs much more. She has
made a beginning in the establishment
of Arrays, in which prominent Ameri-
can corporations are interested, but she
also has to have many more Of these.
The prime need is therefore. for COM
munications more communications. and
still more communications. OF these
two factors. the political one will be
realized first and the economic one
gradually.
TO all thinking Chinese the outlook
fer a peaceful and prosperous China
is optimistic. China has gone through
many crises In her long life. The very
fact that the oldest nation in the world
has so much vitality that she can go
through a period of regeneration Is the
surest guarantee Of her success

TT had been a very pleasant
crossing of the ocean and
all of us who were passen-
4 gers had become we'll &C
quainted.
AS the big ship moved
slowly to her pier we stood on
the promenade deck looking
into the mass of up-turned
faces, each hoping to discover
a relative or friend.
Suddenly a woman beside
me began to wave her hand

an old lady waved back.
That's my aunt" the wom-
an confided to me. Dear old
Aunt Julia. My husband sent
me a wireless that he is sick
in bed with grippe. My
mother is In the South. I
was afraid there would be no
one to meet me.
But 1 might have known.
Aunt Julia never fails. Blessed
old maid. she mothers us all.
How could we ever live with
out her!"
On the pier I was intro
duced to Aunt Julia. A trim
little figure of a woman bub-
bling over with unself1shness,
ladened with an extra coat
and a pair of overshoes-iust
in case her loving niece might
happen to be cold.
Having Just come from
France, and feeling very con-
tinental, I bent over and
kissed her hand. She blushed
like a girl.
You mustn't try to fiatter
an old lady" she said. But it
was no attempt at flattery:

 Eagles as opponents. The Eagles lost a 3-2 verdict to the Davies re- gently and cherish high desires of
 knocking off a first division ball club which they hope will be the
 Maroons tomorrow.
 The Washington Hill Cardinals are once more showing in their own back yard meeting Cooke's Indies

BIC ED WALSH
 HURLS ONCE MORE

New Britain, Aug 1.--"Old tim CTS" in baseball. ranging from Big Ed" Walsh. one of the game's s greatest when he played with the White Sox of Chicago, to former local factory and fraternal league stars. donned uniforms and played ball yesterday afternoon in Walnut Hill Park for the benefit of Mayor Quigley's Emergency Relief fund which is being built up for anoth- CT winter of supplying families of unemployed. About $1,000 was re- alized.
 The opponents of the 25 former heroes of the diamond were the New Britain Gas company's nine, known as the "Gascos" in the local industrial league, and they were the victors, to 3.
 Big Ed" stood out among the "old timers" and as he wound and unwound his strong physique to send fast balls, splitter and lazy curves across the plate for the first three innings, many of the 1000 Or more Onlookers shouted exhor- tations. In them Big Ed" may have caught faint echoes of the days gone by. In his first time at bat he hit two foul balls. then reached down at another pitched ball, caught 1t squarely and placed 1t neatly inside the line in left field. It was low arc and the bal travelled speedily but Steve Du. dack, himself an old player, but still with the "Gascos," ploughed into the fringe of spectators ir time to reach aloft, catch and hold the ball for put out. It was the first spectacular catch of the game and r"'nained one of its most note- worthy.
 M..n he left the pitchers box after the third inning. to go to the field for the fourth after which he retired. Big Ed" had his team in the lead, 2 to 1. Though they had the opportunity to watch the beauty of his smooth, natural form, the gathering did not see him "open up. He feared to do this. he remarked later, because 1t is many years since he has pitched and he did not wan. to suffer after affects of too strenuous play.

It Is doubtful which Mrs Moody will enjoy most. It is an open se- cret that the sister Californians are not overly fond of one another and that the only thing exceeding Mrs Moody's satisfaction over Q defeat of Miss Jacobs is Miss Jacobs' dislike of losing to the champion.
 Mrs Moody wants to win the seabright bowl, she freely admits. She has made no less than i've at tempts, all of which ended In faii- ure.
 Mrs Moody on Form
 Judging from past performances Mrs Moody will take the bowl this trip. The worlds champion has played Miss Jacobs seven times in major competition and the Berkeley girl has yet to win a set. Miss Jacobs Is likely to prove a sentimental favorite because she has two legs on the bowl and needs only one more to call 1t her own.
 The finals in the mems and mixed doubles also will be con- tested to-day. In the mems affair, the Texas-New Jersey team Of Berkeley Bell and Gregorly Man gin will oppose the former Vim bledon champions, Wilmer Allison. another Texan, and Johnny van Ryn of Philadelphia.
