Famous Sayings -
Bruce Cation Says:
- S. Gunboats Taunt War Gods in China

If you will dig out your atlas,
you will learn that the city OF Nam
king is upwards of 100 miles UP
the Yangtze river.
Having acquired that fact, you
may next wonder just what an
American man-of-war was doing
that far in the interior of sup
poSedly independent nation with
which Amerca has friendly but
quite neutral relations.
Your wonder might be increased
slightly by the fact that that in
dependent nation is now up to its
neck in a full-dresS war with an
other nation, with which our coun-
try also has friendly but neutral
relations.
The American gunboat Panay,
sunk by Japanese bombs some 25
miles upstream from Marking was
long. long way from home when
the accident happened. 1t was right
in the middle of lot of trouble.
The japanese were shooting at
practically everything in the river.
A foreign vessel wandering around
in those parts obviously did so at
its own peril.
Now it is perfectly true that the
Fanay was up there to rescue
American nationals and to render
what protection it might to Amer
lean property. 1t is also true that
international custom sanctions the
presence of foreign warships in
Chinese rivers. And yet
For a good parallel, go back in
history to our own war between
the states. Suppose that a British
warship had gone steaming up the
Mississippi river in the fall of 1867
Of the spring of 1868, bent on res

Vicksburg. Suppose it had been
cruising up and down in the river
before Vicksburg at that time.
That cruiser would have been
hit. sooner or later. for the air
along the Vicskburg waterfront
was full of shells most of the time
in those days. Presumably ii would
have gone TO the bottom. Would
the British have been justified in
going into furor of INDICATION
against the side mat fired the
shells?s Would not the proper re-
tort have been that Vicksburg was
long way from the high seas,
that a war was going on on the
Mississippi and that nation
which didn't want its WarshlpS
mistreated ought to keep them out
of the river entirely?
Much the same sort of thing ap-
plies to us in China. The Yangtze
is not part of the high seas; 1t is
Chinese river, just as the MiSsls-
sippi is an American river. we
have had ample warning of the
trouble there. Might it not be
smart for us to get our WarShips
out of there?
We have learned something, \
the last generation. In 1898. ~
somewhat similar incident put us

The most outstanding characteristic
to our visitors on Sunday was our
hospitality.
There were many favorable COM

as the treatment they received. 1t
was hard for city people to realize
that others would be that generous.
Any number of drivers were asked,
"Where do you get paid for this
trip?" or GLOW much does the B. and

for the information to soak through
that it was through the good will of
the people that the 80 or 40-mile tour
was offered, simply for their benefit.
Of course Oakland and Garrett
county expect some return in the
future. They expect many of the visi-
tors to come back, and indeed many
promises already have been made to
return here. Cabins along the lake
were even rented to parties for next
year, but that was incidental.

out to show their good willard the
people of Baltimore and Washington
appreciated it.

himself. He's off balance and
can't punch. We feel satisfied

him again. He made other mis-
