i. s. PEACE THREAT
SEEN IN FAR EAST
Lewis Warns Sudden Act
to Enforce Neutrality
Could Mean War.
By the Associated Press.

by the associated Press.
Senator Lewis. Democrat, OF Illinois
said today the United States could
be at war with China or Japan, or
both, within an hour" if it complied
with demands for immediate enforce
ment OF the neutrality law.
Discussing the Administrations
policy with regard to the Asiatic crisis,
Lewis told the Senate:
Those who are demanding that the
United States enforce its neutrality
la" at once fail to see that the mo-
ment we announce either one of the
natlons as the aggressor and declare
Doth as being at war, our ships of
trade delivering American goods in
the ORIENT would at once be seized
by either China or Japan, or both, as
bringing supplies to the enemy.
The American citizens would be
seized and imprisoned, and then it is
that America must 80 to the rescue of
her people and her property, and this
she must do by her American NAVY
and America becomes at once involved
In the war Of China and Japan.
Neither Has Grievance.
AT present the American shipper can
continue sending his goods to China
and Japan, and unless they are NUM-
t1ons OF war deliberately sent for the
purpose of aiding the conflict neither
country has a grievance against Amer
lea
But when once America attempts
to apply her neutrality law, and stops
her merchants from disposinp of
American goods to China or japan. the
vessels of the Americans who are al
ready on the seas for the purpose of
delivering material-unconsciou that
they are violating any laW-could be
seized or fired upon, and America at
once would be forced to resent these
assaults, and America would be at war
with the Orient.
For this reaSon-to avoid such
posslbility-the President must con-
tlnue his efforts to persuade those in
conflict, both In Spain and In the
orient. TO come to peace upon accept
able terms, and keep the United
States from embroiling itself through
its merchants and shippers, being
seized as offenders, and thus the
United States be deprived of all in
fiuence In its efforts to mediate
through good counsel and restore the
confllcting forces to peace and good
will OF neighbors
Hulls to Board Yacht.
Shortly after Lewis spoke, the White
House announced that Secretary and
Mrs. Hull would join President Roose-
welt and his party aboard the presi-
Dental yacht Potomac tomorrow
morning If the Secretary of State is
able to leave Washington at that time.
Tentative plans have been made for
them to board the Potomac at Guam

China Is Anybody's Guess,
Says Marine Corps Officer
Lieut.. Col. Erskine Says
Ways Unpredictable'
for Westerners

The Chinese are unpredictable, and
there is no use trying to guess what
will happen in their country, accord
ing to Lieut.. Col. Graves B. Erskine,
who recently returned to Quantico,
Va. after two and \ half years Of
at Peiping.
The Chinese just don't do things
the way We do" explained Col.
Erskine. When 5000 or 1000 men
get excited about something over
here, somebody always gets hurt,
raise a terrific rumpus and then break
up with everybody having had won-
derful time"
Celebrating his point, the colonel
told OF the beautiful new $4,000, 900
road out OF Peiping south.
Have 1t but Save 1t.
"You would be surprised TO see most
OF the trafTlc moving over the bitches
alongside the highway" he grinned.
The attitude seems to be that they
have an expensive road there and
they don't want TO wear it down. I
just don't understand them"
Col. Erskine, former intelligence
ofiicer and later executive oficer Of
the Embassy Guard, has high admi-
ration for the Chinese soldier.
He is capable OF enduring unthink-
able hardship. and, II properly led, is
really something TO reckon with" he
said
The long g-sword" battalions he
described as very effective in close
quarter fighting. The men carry two
handed swords with blade about as
WIDE as mans hand and around 21a
feet long. The weapon is strapped on
their backs and is drawn from the
sheath over the shoulder all ready for

"All in all, the Chinese are = very
tolerant and easy-golng people he
pointed out, which Is why they are
able to live In such congested condi-
tons so amicably. I don't think !

in the whole time I was out there"
Protection Plan Worked Out.
Discussing the defense set-up of the
Peiping foreign legation quarter, the
Marine of1icer explained that the
walled-in sector was parceled out on
frontage basis. each embas ssv being
responsible for the protection of +,
