They have all been "duds," a
"dud'' being a high explosive pro
jectile that flies screaming at an
adversary and then flops in the
mud at the enemy's feet with a
feeble phft!
True, feuds are usually fought
with squirrel rifles on the trail of
the lonesome pine, but not in
Hollywood.
In Hollywood, the feudal weap.
ons usually consist of an arched
eyebrow, a smirk, a few caustlc
words or sepulchral silence be-
tween the aggrieved parties. yet
such feuds have been publicized
from time to time throughout the
world.
There is the feud ween
jeanette Macdonald and Maurice
Chevalier. They had appeared to-
gether in couple of pictures, and
then the feud was on. "Profes-
sional jealousy" some called it:
Producer Irving Thalberg, who
wanted them to costar in "The
Merry Widow" angled around for
an entire year before he could get
them together again.
A similar feud sizzled during
the filming of the first Merry
Widow" the silent version with
Mae Murray and John Gilbert. In
the midst of the production Miss
Murray, in a tiff with Director
Erich Won Stroheim, walked off
the set. It was a famous feud,
but she walked on again-and the
feud, as usual. proved dud.
Constance Bennett and Gloria
Swanson, too, have often been
mentioned as opposing feudists-
each refusing to appear at the
same time at any function. But
only recently at one of Holly.
woods gayest parties, an un
knowing photographer maneuvered
Gloria and Connie into the same
happy picture-and the feud was
ended.

One is Guy Loomis, the
multimillionaire Gilman, and
the other is Enoch Johnson,
jerseys political boss. These
two are among the most lib
eral and careless spenders of
the present day. Loomis is
usually surrounded by any,
where from a dozen to two
dozen people and wine flows
freely JohnSon'S parties,
while smaller, are just as ex-
pensive for he will take his
group from place to place until
there is nowhere else to go,
always footing the bill, which
usually reaches into the three
figures. A pleasing act will
lure anywhere from $40 to
a century note from either
Loomis or Johnson, yet on one
occasion 1 watched the gigantic
Loomis argue for almost half
an hour over a small item Of
$3.50 which he was convinced
was an overcharge. Still an
other of the present-day spend
ers is William Leeds, jr., who,
however, pours out his money
in elaborate house or yacht
parties.

If this is a General Washing

the immortal just honored by

nevertheless emerges from three

one whose fealty to cause was
far above petty politics. Only in

he seem apart from the popular

It impressed me that the best

CHINESE OUTRAGES
Gunboat Is Sent to Wuhu,
Where American Mission.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 10
Aroused by a long list of crimes
against its citizens in China, the
United States Government had acted
again today to insure the safety of its
Oriental residents.
Bandit activity In the vicinity Of
Wuhu, eliminating with the brutal
Staying of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Stann,
American missionaries, prompted the
American Legation at Marking to dis
patch a gunboat to the terrorized
province. ts
A shocking record Of pillage, kid
naping and murder preceded the STAN
tragedy. Danger Of death was ever
present for those missionaries assigned
to remote parts of China to carry the
message of Christianity.
Other Americans Slain.
Two Americans met death this year
at the hands Of rowing outlaw bands
before the STAINS were executed and
unnumbered others were abducted,
robbed or subjected to indignities.
The previous victims of bandit
blood lust were DR.. j. H. Ingram and
the Rev. Father Urban o. Martin.
DR. Ingram, 75-year-old former Ohio
resident, was a medical missionary
who won the title best friend of
China"
Bandits shot him down in his Sum-
mer home at Peiping. His wife and
children escaped.
Rev. Father Martin, who went to a
China station from New Orleans, was
reported slain near Forgan in South
ern Fukien Province about the same
time. His murderers were never cap
tured. Five Chinese we're executed
for the killing of DR.. Ingram.
Two Long in Captivity.
Long periods of captivity were ex-
perienced by two other American mis-
sionaries. DR.. Neils Nelson, formerly
of Minneapolis, was held for six
months before he escaped.
Rev. Howard Smith of Washington,
Pa, spent more than two months in
the hands of bandit captors. He es-
capped while his guards were sleeping
Six American missionaries were iso-
lated for several days in the midst of
a battle between regular soldiers and
rebels in West Hupeh Province. They
finally made their way to safety as
hope for their lives was waning.
English residents of China have en-
countered like perils. Six British sub
jects, kidnapped by Chinese river
pirates, were released only after their
captors were terrified by the appear
ance Of British military aircraft sent
to their aid.
