TIENTSIN, August 29.-Authorities
were baked by watery trail today
in their investigation Of the latest
daring coup Of sea brigands who have
plundered the China Seas for cen
turtles.
The pirates, employing a time-worn
but effective ruse, impersonated pas
sengers when they boarded the ferry
steamer Liho before 1t sailed yester-
day from Tangku.
While the ship was on its way here
across the Bay of Chilli they held
up and robbed 100 Chinese passen-
gers, seized 80 of them as hostages
and escaped to Sea in q waiting junk.
Three passengers were slain and
the brigands made OF with all pos
sessions Of those aboard the steamer,
including their clothes.
Passengers Terrorized.
Panic broke out among the VIC
tins, the ships oflcers said, and the
pirates threw two overheard and shot
a third. The terrorized passengers.
officers said. were searched with great
precision.
Intimation that the present
menace to Chinese coastal shipping
would strike again came August IA
with word from Hongkong to Shang-
hal that band Of IS notorious pirates
had been seen.
Those outlaws, it was believed, were
members of the band who attacked
the luxurious British steamer Tung-
chow February /, 1885, with Is school
children aboard. The American,
British and Scandinavian children
most of them under IL years Of age
experienced one Of the most fantastic
adventures In the fantastic history
Of Chinese piracy.
A Russian guard, part Of the per-
manent patrol ships maintain In the
China Seas, and . member Of the
crew were killed In the fighting Is
the brigands looted the ship.
They escaped on Honghai Bay, In
the pirate-infested area just north
Of the notorious Bias Bay, with their
booty after compelling the ships Of
ficers to take them there.
For three days the ship and passen-
gers-members Of the China Inland
Mission-were held incommunicado
while the pirates Systematically gath
cred their loot. Efforts to reach the
ship by radio were futile.

stration for peace. We do not know,
nor does Krock, just how seriously the
President has considered the idea, and
Krock denies that he launched the
story with the consent Of the White
House as q trial balloon. which could
be followed up or repudiated accord
ing to the response which 1t awakened
We must accept Krock's word. and
Herewith eliminate the idea that this
was q political gesture, aimed at cap
italizing the peace sentiment OF the
country. The President must know
that the peace sentiment of the coun-
try Is powerful, but he must also
know that the Nation was never more
isolationist in Its feelings. Certainly
Mr.. Farley was not consulted about
this. I understand that he Is very
much upset.
Maybe He Just Thought It.
Nevertheless, Krock in telling us
| what has been in the Presidents mind.
has illumined for US that mind and
personality. Perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt
never came to any conclusions about
this plan; perhaps it was popped into
his head by George Lansbury. the
British Labor leader, and the Presi-
dent merely went on thinking about
the idea-asking: IT wonder what
would happen if asked Stain. Mus
solini, Hitler. Edward VIII and the
rest, to q big peace demonstration"
The fact is he apparently did think
and talk about 1t with considerable
seriousness.
The story Is not uncharacteristic
of the President and reveals many of
his qualities. His strength as q
leader is In his artistic imagination,
his recognition of emotional factors,
and his willingness to make bold ges-
lures. have no doubt whatever that
the first reaction of thousands of
people in this country, to the idea Of
a world parley Of heads Of States to
discuss peace, was one of excitement
and affirmation. Surely, the question
Of peace or war overweighs every
other single issue in the world today.
The whole world trembles with ap-
prehension, one cloud appears upon
the horizon. darkens the world, and
blows over. Hardly Is there q mo-
ment Of serene sunshine when another
darker than the last blots it out.
The world moves from crisis to crisis.
Now 1t Is China, now Austria, now
Ethiopia, now the Rhineland, now
Spain. Hardly Is Spain ringed by
neutrality when Hitler announces an
increase Of his already prodigious
army. A feverish ornaments race
Is on at a pace unique in history.
The Worlds Peoples Pay.
Whole peoples are subjected to the
aims Of increasing military power.
To get machinery with which to manu-
facture guns, Russia takes bread from
her people: that Germans should have
the same weapons, they stand in line
for butter or eat margarine. Britain,

pirates hastily fed, while the child
passengers cheered.
The looting of the British steamer
Shuntien OF the Shantung coast. how
ever, was probably the most daring
and wholesale pillage in the recent
history of Chinese shipping.
The ship, new on the China coast
and the pride of the fleet, left TEN
tsin for shantung ports and Shanghai
in June, 1894.
on the Shantung coast, near the
mouth of the Yellow River, 43 pirates,
who had boarded the craft at Tientsin
in the guise of passengers, easily took
over the boat. With unlimited arms
they held the passengers and crew
at bay while they steered for a cove
where confederates waited. There
they ransacked the ship and passen-
gers, chose likely prospects for ransom
and escaped up the yellow River with
6 British, 20 Chinese and Q Japanese
prisoner.
Methods Of Attack.

from the steerage quarters after the

Sometimes the more adventurous
method Il taken, Is In the piracy Of
the Chinese steamer Kungchantai in
1888. The ship was riding out q
bad storm OF the north coast. Three
junks came alongside and. despite
. desperate battle, the pirates clam
bered over the side. They robbed the
passengers Of every belonging, raided
the ships stores and then escaped In
the storm, leaving the Kungchantai
with crippled engines, radio and steer
ing apparatus.
The Gulf Of Chill, where yester.
days attack occurred, has become .
favorite hunting ground for pirates.
Despite Chinese efforts and foreign
naval patrols, the plundering and
killing has been unchecked for CEN
turtles.

sorbed in the home that she becomes
dull and uninteresting.
On the other hand, the ga-ga type,
the cocktail or dance mad type, kills
love more quickly than any one else.
She shirks her responsibilities as
wife and mother and thinks only of
her own selfish pleasure. She doesn't
give the necessary stability to mar
ried life.
AS you can guess from this, the
woman who makes her husband hap
by is the one who is not given to any
extremes. She is interested in his
work, encourages him and has faith in
him. Her understanding of him and
his needs help his love to endure.
She knows how to keep herself in
teresting at all times so that she is
versatile in holding her husbands at
tention. Men like to be amused. And
little changes in mood and costume to
fit every circumstance do wonders in
freshening a mans interest.
Most of all, the woman who holds
us men never allows herself to lose
that indefinable feminine mystery.
She never cheapens herself. There
Is always delicacy and fastidiousness
in her conduct.
I don't like women who ape men in
their clothes, who are heavily made
up and heavily perfumed. And I
particularly dislike snoopy, suspicious
women-and flirts!
