REDS,
!. CAPTURED,
:.
j. PEN|TENT

PEIPING, March 13 u.N.S).
Foreign investigators have been
privileged to penetrate the dis
tricts in Hupeh province which
until a few months ago were the
center of the Chinese Soviet gov
ernment.
The Reds were driven out or
captured only after major opera
tions by national army of 10000
men, and with heavy casualties.
The Chinese officials permitted
an interview with two of the Com
munists, held in prison although
their colleagues were sumrnarily
executed after government victory.
PAIR REPENTANT
Perhaps the most intriguing is
Chang Shun-ming, who with Ma
WI was taken in the final assault
on the Red capital. Both of these
men now express repentance and
warn their fellow Chinese against
the evils of communism.
Chang Shun-ming is % and was
q member of the Soviet military
council of Hupeh. He was born
in Hankow and obtained only a
primary school education before
moving to Shanghai where he
worked in small printing shop.
He began to absorb communist
ideas and in 1927 was at HankoW
with a radical group and was
eventually sent to Moscow. There
he spent three years at the Lenin
Oriental School.
IDEAS CHANGED
When Chang returned to China
in 1880 he joined the Communist
government at Red Lake, employ
ing his specialized knowledge of
organizing discontented peasants
into communist groups.
He explained that while he was
studying in Moscow there were
nearly 1000 Chinese in the vari-
Gus Soviet institutions. AS he sits
in his prison, he expresses differ
ent ideas of life.

MY BARRIER
BY j. Edward Mccall

Between and my dreams there lies
wall of granite, gray and grim
So tall it seems to kiss the skies,
And make the light from heaven dim.
In youth sought to scale its height
To pierce the wall with iron will
But though strove with all my might.
The barrier barred and Knocked me still
With naked hands, smote in rage,
Upon the granite-all in vain,
AS trapped eagle beats his cage,
With helpless wings that bleed and pain.
My eyes were blind with unshed tears
And bitter anguish gnawed my heart;
But wisdom came with passing years
And brought me back my dreams of art
AT last see in the rugged stone,
Angelic forms and visions fair,
And dreams of beauty, all my own,
Which destiny has hidden there
Within the barrier now | see
A quarry stored with granite fine,
From which my dreams with skill may be
Chseed into forms divine.
With singing heart and loving hand,
l them FORTH dream after dream;
The solid granite yields like sand
And eyes of angels from it beam.
Upon the rocky baTrer-wall,
Which towers from earth to heaven above,
/ carve mystic stairway tall
An climb it, with the dreams love-

Refutes Charges
OF Dis Elimination

July 10Th, 1888.
Mr.. Mccall. Managing Editor,
The Detroit Tribune
2146 ST. Antoine,
Detroit, Mich.
Dear Mr.. Mccall:
In your issue OF Saturday, July
22nd, 1888, we note with surprise
and resentment an article signed
by George M. Washington of 1903
Van Court Avenue criticising the
Coroners Office.
In general, at the outset OF our
taking Office, we inaugurated a
policy of showing no discrimina-
ton in regards TO creed, nationali-
ty, race or sex, and this has been
maintained.
For your information, in i'm
panelling juries for Inquests, we
have been fair-showing no dis
elimination to the colored race.
With only one or two exceptions,
when II has been necessary to
I'LL in" juror from any one
available, our juries have been
selected with great care; in fact,
only representative citizens have
| been chosen. Always when the Ne
gro race was involved. one to three
of your people have been selected,
and this policy will be continued.
The attitude of the signer of the
letter published is most inconsis-
tent as he has served more often
than any other person OF his race,
Our records will substantiate the
above inasmuch as they are open
for public inspection at all times
We deeply appreciate the sup
port rendered us and the Demo-
cratic Ticket last Fall, and will be
most glad to cooperate and reci-
procate whenever 10 can con-
sistently be done. With this end In
view, we will appreciate your sub
hitting a list of needy and com
petent prospective jurors from
among your people.
Will you kindly publish this let.
ter in your next issue?
Thanking you, and with best
wishes, we are
Cordially and sincerely yours
