Without mentioning names, this is just now one of the biggest little questions before the third house. Hard-headed old-line partisans insist that no good ever comes from “‘tryin’ to temporize with the devil”—no dis- respect to Democrats inte’ merely his forceful way of sion. “These folks were against Carey and the entire ticket last fall,” said one of this sort, “and they will be against us next time and the time after that, or regardless—of every-- thing.

It is rumored around the. Plains lobby—where everything wroht while starts—that a petitior for a“Ropub- lican caucus will be: cirgujated soon, -at which this matter will be settled. LONDON GIR TO STICK TO FARM, REPORT LONDON—(By Mail. — Breeches )are not going to be discarded en- tirely by all British girls who got into them to do war work. | That lightning transformation from | “boots an pants -to crepe de chine” that was predicted with the signing of the armistice isn’t going to occur. At least it won’t be wholesale, Hundreds of the girl workers, ¢s- pecially the land girls, have deeided to go right on in the vocations they adopted as an emergency. Some were London society girls. They plan to stay right on the farms. They re- fuse to give up their breeches. them the “fashionable civies, soft and clingy” represent only idleness, they say. Breeches, boots and smock stand for real usefulness in life. They like the farms and they’re going to stay there, reserving the crepe de chine for after “office hours.”” One such land girl wrote a friend “TI have been on leave for a few days no.w I have had the prewar cup of tea in bed every morning. have eaten from thin china once For) ling negroes, American Indians, East Indians Kurkhas, South Sea Island- ; fers, Europeans and other races ap- parently from all four quarters of the globe. These people, of course, he, said, had never been anywhere e'se than in the country he found them, | namely in a region about the size of | New York State, bounded on the north by the province of Kansu, the} south by Burmah, Yunan and Kwee- chow, the east by Szechuan and the} west by Thibet. “I found a land of beautiful val- leys, covered with the fine farms and homesteads, aid the explorer mis- sionery, “while towering above them were mountains from 6,000 to 18,000 feet high. The fronticr of the coun- | try was protected by queer looking, stone fortified buildings, manned by natives armed with weapons resemb- ling the old fashioned blunderbuss. It is not impossible that these people were the originators of gunpowder, for the Chinese who for years have tried to rule them admit it is of bet- ter quality than the powder they make themselves. Itho suspicious and warlike, and inese, the} ‘tu-ren’ proved to be most hospitable and fed and sheltered us. Huge smokestacks in their communities | gave them the appearance of thriving industrial cities. When we arrived we found they were employed solely for the purpose of drying and curing vegetables, meat and fish, which wero suspended tier upon tier the entire height of the chimney. 4 “The architczture of the country was distinctly foreign to China, re-; sembling in many respects the feudal castles of Normandy. In other re- spects it was not unlike the structures of Babylonia and Palestine. Grain. for instance, after being harvested, was threshed upon the roofs of the houses just as in the Holy Land. The houses themselves are nothing more than boxes, with perhaps one window from which the odors and smoke of cooking escapes. | “On top of practically all the forti; | fied ‘castles’ a flag was flown. I was told these were ‘prayer flags’ and had jno special tribal or patriotic signifi- jeance. Every man in the country, apparently is ‘a law unto himself.’ Each tribe has its chieftain but there is no national head and China exer- cises only nominal sovereignty, | “Quarrels are settled on horseback |by means of blunderbusses, spears, bags of stones and broad swords.
