3. Can the territory be re-Won
to Chinese sovereignty by grant,
ing concessions TO JapanS oe-
mandS?
Regarded AS Lost
Informed Chinese believed the
Nanking government considers the
Peiping-Tientsin area lost as DEF
initely as the Hopei area, where
Gen. Ying Ju-Keng previously had
established a regime in the East
Hopei area under japanese tu-
telage.
Observers were confident that
Generalissimo Chang, while IN
sisting that all Hopei remains IN
tegrally Chinese territory, plans
no early attempt to re-establlsh
Markings authority.
A regime similar to Yin Ju-
Keng's government at TungchoW,
which the Chinese call bogus
but which he controls effectively
under Japanese influence, already
is functioning in Peiping, the old
Manchu capital.

OF Police Asked
TO Resign job

MeadeS Joined the police force
in December. 1888. as police clerk.
A few months later he was made
patrolman, and in September,
1884. nine months after joining
the department, he was elevated
TO the rank of assistant chief.
Prior to joining the local police
force. MeadeS Was in police work
IN Harlan, Kentucky, for two
years and was with the police de-
partment of New Salem, Pa, for
several years. At one time he was
traffic sergeant with 1876 men
under him. He is a high school
graduate and was a student of
William & Mary College for three
years.
1t has long been a notorious fact
that there was considerable fric-
ton between Meades and other
members of the department, and
chiefly between Meades and Chief
Madrin. Some observers have
senScd a spirit of jealousy of
MeadeS in the department be-
cause of his superior education,
his personality and his quick

Just what is behind the request
for Meades' resignation will come
out after the hearing next week.

not going to kick a man out of

in newspapers all over the coun-
try when he walked down the
streets of various outstanding
cities-Atlanta one-Wearing his
pajamaS.
Saunders has my idea-men's
clothes need reform. He set
about to reform them. He said
that when the thermometer was
playing around 90, 4 man should
be able to dress in something
cool. Socially. suSpenders don't
go. The man who wears them
must discreetly hide them under
a coat.
of course. there was time in
Georgia when red ones were worn
openly without casting their re-
Election in blush. However,
when Governor Rivers moved in
to GeoreiaS mansion, + e d
suspenders moved out Of fash
ion in this state.
Saunders being a fine South
ern gentleman and knowing what
the majority of women folks
think Of showing suspenderS, de-
cided it would be easier to get up
something new than to make
them the vogue.
"PajamaS! Now, they are COM
Portable even when the breezes
are as warm as if they came from
below. And so he discarded suits,
put on pajamaS. starting the new
fad by walking down Fifth Ave-
nue. in New York. BY doing so
he added one more historical spot
the birthplace Of the man who
dared-to the list of those in
North Carolina.
For Saunders lives in Eliza
beth City. N. c.. where he runs
the newspaper The Daily indie
pendent; he is also the secretary
of the U. S. Roanoke Colony
Commission. Curious, I called on
him when in Elizabeth City.
Imagine my surprise when !

fice-one with dust and papers
and books helter-skelter-a calm
and tall and dignified person
conventional. After the CONVEX
saation commenced I wondered
more than ever about the episode
For he had nothing of the freak
ish in his talk. He had a nice
sense of humor, a real kindliness
"'Hows your reform progress
ing?' I inquired at once. He
shook his head sadly. The manu-
facturers of suits had taken
alarm and their power was great
er than the sum total Of the long
ing of men to be dressed COM
fortably. The manufacturers
quite downed the uprising,
squelched it triumphantly, and so
Saunders was wearing a belt and
sitting in his shirtsleeves in the
summer heat that has spread
from one end of the country to
the other, not exactly discourag-
ed, but a wee bit depressed, never
theless at the lack of common
sense in mankind.
The average temperature in
Elizabeth City is so degrees-it
was about 40 above the average

Clash Feared in
Syrian Dispute

Copyright. 1887, BY United Press
PARIS, Jan. T. W.P)-The govern
ment has ordered its army command
in Syria to prevent any possible
Turkish incursion into the Alexan-
dretta district of Syria, which Turk
ey has demanded. the foreign office
said today
Into the AleXandretta dispute
many angles have come. One is the
assertion by Syrian nationalists that
Germany might get rich oil deposits
in the area and be permitted to es-
tablish powerful naval base there,
near the Suez canal.
The situation briefly is that
Turkey ceded the territory as part
of Syria in the World war treaties.
France obtained a mandate. Now
France has announced it intends to
give Syria its independence in three
years. Turkey wants the AleXan-
dretta area. France says it Is hers,
as the mandatory nation, to do with
as she likes.
Turkey appealed to the league last
month, demanding the territory
and declaring that the lives of
Turks in the area were, in danger
Turkey demanded an international
police force in the area pending a
solution. She demanded withdrawal
of French troops Frances reae-
ton was to announce a cavalry
squadry, an infantry unit and three
armored car units had been sent
to it to preserve order.
The council, last December 16, at
Geneva decided to send three neu-
tral observers to the district pend
ing a decision on the problems at
meeting to be held January 18.
