Chinese Situation Changes.
The situation changed dramat-

where it was made clear to Premier
Stain that the Chinese generals
sino is the recognized head of
state in China and no other man
can take his place until free elec-
tions are held in that country. Any
change of personalities cannot be
brought about, according to the
American and British democratic
conception, by deed between two
individuals or groups of individuals
1t must be the result of the freely
expressed opinion of free people.
The result of this homily on
democracy has been the new Sino-
Russian treaty of friendship which,
if honestly fulfilled, will make China
once more g strong and important
country in the Far East. The treaty
is more surprising to those who
know the inside story" of Yalta
than to the man in the street, be-
cause at Yalta, it is said, the Amer

sively in Washington on Friday,
September %, the Army stamp sug.
gested by Senator Joseph C. O'Ma-
honey of Wyoming and indorsed by
hundreds of philateIists Of all grades
and classes, bids fair to be pitiful
disappointment. The design will
show not the Remagen Bridge, the
capture of which was the key to the
liberation of Europe, but big pa
rade of American troops down the
Champs Elysees in Paris, the Arc de
Triomphe appearing in the back
ground. When reduced to the re-
quired size and printed in khaki or
mud-colored ink, the composition is
likely to be complete washout.
But it seems nothing can be done to
correct the error in judgment. The
War Department allegedly is salts
fled, and Post Office Department
officers say that nothing else really
matters.

Hannegan has announced post Of

Auxiliary To
Sell Poppies

Saturday, May rs, all Americans
all through the nation will pay
tribute to their countrymen VINO
have died in two great World Wars
by wearing red poppy.
In this city, as in every other
city and town all over the country,
the women of the American Lee
gion Auxiliary will be on the
streets with baskets full of peoples
for sale. This large corps of volun-
teer workers, organized by Mrs.
Bernhard Schlumm, Poppy chair
man, will see to it that everybody
in the city has an opportunity to
buy poppy.
Disabled war veterans young
ones from this war, older ones from
the last-made these peoples at
Fort Harrison. These men who have
been working in the hospital dur
ing the winter and spring to have
the little flowers all ready for Pop
py Day have benefited not only
financially but mentally as well.
To be able to earn money, to have a
pleasant occupation has done a
great deal to maintain their interest
in life.
The memorial flowers have small
intrinsic value, but the buyer can
give for one whatever he feels he
can for this symbol of the sacrifice
made by some of his countrymen
All the money contributed goes into
the Legion and Auxiliary rehabili-
tatioh and welfare funds and forms
large part of these funds which
do SO much to help the disabled
veterans, their children and the
children of the dead and disabled
of both wars.
