Removal of Regiment in China Viewed as Loss of

litical and military control of this large section of old China. Now the Chinese government has right to believe that the United States refused to withdraw American troops to gain China's friendship but IS withdrawing them at the mere possibility that Japanese mi litary commanders might not be pleased with the continued presence of American soldiers here using contemplated removal of the Amer ican Embassy from Peiping to Nan. king as an excuse for the real mo. tive, Americans here argue.
 Communications Kept Open
 The purpose of stationing troop! here in the beginning was to keeI communications open from Picking to the sea as provided in the Boxer Protocol. = Lieut. Gen. Y. Umezu, comman- der of the Japanese army in Chi ma, told the United Press he had never requested withdrawal of the American troops, had not intended to do so and was considerably sur- prised by Washington reports that this will be done.
 Nevertheless, Umezu made no at- tempt to conceal his delight that such a move was to be made. He said there was really no reason for American soldiers being in Tientsin as Japanese troops could maintain order in North China keep com- munications open from Peiping to the sea and protect Americans as we'll as Japanese, if necessary. Therefore, he said, the State De- partment need have no fear about withdrawing the troops.
 Status Confuses Americans
 There is considerable confusion in the minds of the Americans in North China regarding the exact status of the projected withdraw al. Reports have been garbled. One report was that the State De- partment had ordered the with drawal from the new Japanese areas" in order to avert possible expression of displeasure by the Japanese. Later the association said these were rumors emanating from Tokyo, although Americans here were furious about the impli- cations of the report.
 English feeling in North China expressed freely on every hand is that the United States does not want to maintain it's troops in North China or assume any respon- sibility for law and order or the protection of it's nationals, although America is fully willing to partici- pate Tn any benefits to be derived from the efforts of other nations in so doingI

Description Of
Holland GiUen
University Club

AL the exquisite loveliness of
their fields and the traditions of
their great artists are brought into
the daily living of the Dutch, de-
clared Mrs. Paul Reiss of San Diego
speaker for Womens University
club meeting Saturday at the Bar
bara Worth hotel.
Mrs. Reiss, president of the San
Diego Women's City club, and a
widely travelled and experienced
woman, gave a fascinating talk on
Holland, emphasizing the artistic
nature of the Dutch which is eX-
pressed not only in the work of
their artists but in the daily lives
of the people.
The beautiful flower fields of
Holland, the glowing tulip gardens,
In which the horticultural genius
of the nation has found fulfillment;
the exquisite cleanliness of the
people, their gaily decorated houses,
Their native dress which is peculiar
TO each community, the museums,
art galleries, and other cultural
institutions were wildly described.
Holland is a small country, said
Mrs. Reiss and life is built on
tiny pattern. AS a result every
citizen is familiar with the great
cultural treasurers of his country
and venerates the traditions and
possessions of the nation.
Preceding Mrs. Reiss' talk were
two charming vocal numbers by
Miss Melba Deets, accompanied by
Mrs. Russell Bennitt: these were,
slave Song" (del Riego) and
Dawn" (Curran).
Luncheon tables were decorated
, with orchid and yellow chrysan-
themums, lighted by tall yellow
tapers.

many good things to eat in our
bungalow, Bunty, 1 thought it
would be only fair to share them
with the poor mouse lady and
gentleman and their hungry child
ren. But my wife and Nurse Jane
are sort of funny. They don't
want me to fill Thanksgiving bas-
kets without telling them. And I'd
rather not. tell them"
so you're sneaking out with it
before they see you, is that it?"
laughed Bunty. who was smart and
clever and knew more than Uncle
Wiggily thought she did.
"Hushl Hush!" begged Uncle
Wiggily again. Bunty laughed
some more and then whispered:
Hop to it, Unkie Wig. I won't
tell on you"
Bunty Helps
Then, when the rabbit gentleman
was getting his hat, Bunty lifted
the cover of the basket. Inside
she saw some bread and cheese
and crackers and some pieces of
bacoh-all things mice love.
I'll put something in Unkie
Wigs Thanksgiving basket myself, y
whispered the orphan rabbit. And
she did, before Mr.. Longears came
back with his hat. Then Bunty
hoped to school and Mr.. Longears
took the basket on his paw again
and started out.
He was almost at the mouse
house when, all of a sudden, out
popped the Woozie Wolf from the
bushes.
Where are you going?" howled
the Wolf. Whats in the basket?"
Thanksgiving for the poor mouse
family" said the rabbit.
You mean it's Thanksgiving for
mel howled the Wolf. Give me
that basket!' Rudely he snatched
it away. AS he did the cover fell
off and out jumped a big toy
jumping Jack Bunty had put in as
her Thanksgiving present. The
jumping Jack bobbed up and hit
the Wolf so hard upon his nose
that he gave a loud howl and ran
away. Then the bunny laughed
and took the Thanksgiving basket,
without the Jack, to the mice and
they were very happy.
And if the pillow doesn't pull up
one of the street lamps to see its
way to bed, I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily's box.

and brown accessories.
