CASTLE SEES HOPE
IN ARMS PARLEy
"War Madness" in Far East
May Impede Geneva
Task, He Says.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, February William
r. Castle, jr., Undersecretary Of State,
speaking here last night, expressed the
hope that the Sino-Japanese activities
will aCcentuate the need Of disarma-
ment and facilitate the work Of the
impending World Disarmament Confer
ence at Geneva.
Mr. Castle arrived in Baltimore from
a tWo-hour White House conference, at
which steps were taken to guard Amer
ican lives and property in China, to
speak before a joint meeting OF the
Baltimore Council of Jewish Women
and the SiSterhoods of the Baltimore
Hebrew.
Pointing out that no one can tell
what effect the conflict raging in China
and Manchuria will have upon the Ge-
neVa conference, the UnderSecretary
stressed his hope that the effect would
be favorable. He added, however, that
the war madness, not upon the part
of the japanese people, who are among
the finest in the world, but the war
madness among the military, which al
ready has melted great suffering, may
make the task at Geneva more diff
cult
IF limitation alone is obtained at
Geneva, we have gained much 1t is
obvious that even this will help to
stamp out the mental depression which
grips the world. A great step forward
will have been taken in re-establishing
confidence among the nations by con-
crete knowledge that the armamentS of
one nation need no longer menace the
security Of another nation"

HOOVER BES|EGED
IN BOXER UPRISING
Troop Movement to Shanghai
Recalls Chinese Revolt
of 81 Years Ago.
Py the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Just 80 years ago this Summer the
United States was forced 10 send
infantrymen to China to protect its
nationals in an emergency even gTaVer
than the present one at Shanghai.
1t was the Chinese Boxers" whose
uprising spread death and terror then,
beSieging Americans In Tientsin and
Peking until after bitter struggle the
Army won through to free them. None
knows better what it means to be In
the midst OF an Oriental conflict than
President Hoover, for he and Mrs
Hoover were among those besieged.
Among the Defenders.
Just a young and ambitious engineer,
freshly out of college and but recently
married, the future President worked
desperately with other civilians in
Tientsin to defend themselves and their
families against the sinister Boxers,
whose hatred burned most intensely Tor
all foreigners.
The Boxers were a Chinese secret So
ciety, so dubbed by Americans because
their slogan was Righteous and united
fists" 1t Signified union against the
outsider to the Chinese, but fist meant
a blow TO the American mind.
Deeds of great heroiSm which were
TO Law the foundation for brilliant Army
and Marine Corps careers were per-
formed by the expedition, which, to-
gether with the forces of the other great
powers, finally broke the siege. Japan
was an ally in that action.
Summerau a Hero.
Outstanding in the capture Of Peking
was the deed of Lieut.. c. P. Summeral,
who later rose TO be a chief of staff
and four-star full general. Finding
the gates so strong as to resist the artll-
lery fire, Summerall calmly signaled his
glInners to cease, walked to the doors
with bullets flying all around him,
marked with chalk a target on the
heavy cross bars which made the doors
tmpregnable, and retraced his steps.
The guns roared, the gates few open
and the Infantry poured through.
Another who won fame was Smedley
D. Butler Of the Marines, who has just
now ended a career stormy and brill
liant, retiring with the rank Of major
general. He was decorated for his part
in the Boxer fuss.
Keeps Outfit There.
As a result Of the uprising, the United
States has had a small Army detach
aaent at TlentSin ever since to guard
the legation ard defend the railroad to
the sea. This IS a crack outfit, pride
Of the Army, and nicknamed the Gold
Plate Troop" SO inexpensive is Chi
nese labor that the soldiers all have ma
tive servants to do the shoe shining and
brass polishing.
But this small detachment number
ing 800 men, may see some stern duty
now for orders may dispatch it to the
troubled zone, where American lives
once again must be protected.

More ReinforcementS.

Reports indicate that Chang in case
of necessity, plans to bring further re-
Inducements from Honan and to begin
an offensive as soon as reinforcements
arrive.
This sort of attitude of the Chinese
is incompatible with their attitude in
Geneva, where they have submitted a
new proposal. Unless the Chinese cease
reinforcing or withdraw to q certain
distance, not only the position of the
japanese buejaCkets, but also the set
tlement itself will be exposed to the
grayest danger.
I'VE are now obliged to consider what
steps We should take to cope with the
emergency. l regret that some un-
founded reports have emanated from
Shanghai giving misapprehensions to
the world, and on that account I
thought it advisable to make these re-
marks
A foreign Office spokesman said
America seemed to forget" how things
stood in China, emphasizing that
America was not in danger from
Chinese, while Japan was menaced from
various angles.
"If it was lawful for the United States
to keep Marines at Shanghai" the
spokesman said, why should America
make representations when japanese
bluejackets land purely in self-defense?"
Regarding British representations that
Japanese bluejackets had used the In
ternational Settlement as a base for
operations, he said the japanese were
between the devil and the deep blue
sea-"
The japanese would be blamed if
they used the settlement as base in
defending themselves, he explained,
and, on the other hand, would be
blamed for extending operations out
side the settlement in repulsing Chinese
attacks. He contended that the blue
jackets merely had played the role
assigned to them by the authorities.
