THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1923 \ ’ —_— GENSORS UGHES SHHFTSATCHNA Toastmaster at Chinese So- oiety Dinner Fears to Of- .- fend Guests. iated Press. NEW" YORK, February 15.—Prof. Tobert McElroy of Princeton University, who, as toastmaster at the annual din- ner of the China Soclety last night, omitted reading part of a telegram from Hecretary of States Hughes, eriticizing China, today explained his reasons. He sald he thought it wise not to intrude upon a social affair the stern language ' of the Secretary's telegram, Which expressed regret that the pleasant relations between the two gountries vare at the present moment disturbed by the killixg of an Amerfcan citigen and the fiyfng upon an American consul by Chingse soldiers and by the failure of thg Chinese government to make any &dequate response to the representa- €ions which this government has found it necessary to make with a view to the eltlement of this very grave incident.” Prot. MoElroy said after the dinner be expected the Chinese government Would act in the matter complained of, 48 to do the right thing {s a national ¢haracteristic of the Chinese people. Consul General Chang. who was a gucst, seemed much perturbed when he Wus shown the parts of the telegram not_read. “If any wrong has been committed upon Americans China will make full reparation,” he sald. Ameriean Is Kiflled: ‘'he grave incident referred to in the telegram was understood to be the killing of Charles Coltman, an Amer- ican ‘merchant, at Kalgan, just be- vond the Chiness wall, by Chinese soldiers on December 11 last. He was :n an automoblle with Samuel Soko- Vin:the American consyl at Kalgan, #nd a friend carrying a sum of silver 70 Urga to buy furs, when stopped by Chinese sentries, who fired when the party attempted to proceed. Min{ster Schurman made represen- tation to the Peking government de- manding reparations, but at least a | temporary deadlock hetween the two Zavernments has ensued, partly due, it had.been claimed, in Peking. to the inability of-the central government to compel the local authorities in- zolved in the matter to take any ae- fon. Noted Guesty Present. Among: the several hundred Pel"l sons at the banguet tablo were: L. Chang, consul general of the | republic of China: Bainridge Colby, ! secretary of state under President | Wilson: Henry Falrfield Osborn, Henry Taft. brother of Chief Justice Taft, and Wel-Len, professor of history at Peking University. Consul Genera] Chang was a speaker. When he concluded he went o an adfoining room, where reporters read to him all of the Hughes mes- sage. refacing his comments with the reminder that he was not a diplo- matia but a commercial representative of his country to the United States, and, therefore, “not very familiar with the matter” to which Mr. Hughes luded, Mir. ang emphatically de- clares that hina always prys in full, and rig! all matters In which | it is concerned.” Says Foreigners Are Respected. All forelgners, Including Amer- icans, receive the greatest respect.in China and_are always safeguarded, he said. He expressed a belief that there was “some provocation” for the llcllcm of the Chinese soldlers, assart- ing Ne wax of the opinion the Amer- ‘cans were “attempting - o Emuggle silver to Manchuria, in direct viola- tion of existing laws. His interpretation of the facts al- ready disclosed was that the Amer- cans, when the sovldiers stopped and questioned them, drew pistols and tried to force through to the border. Defends China’s Delay. The delay in the recelpt of a diplo- matic answer to Mr, Hughes' repre- sentations might be due, he thought, to the fact that China has had three new administrations since December, and is only now beginning to “sur- mount the many physical difficulties that normally appear in the path of political change.” To which Prof. McElroy added: “China is something like the United Btates was during its first twenty- jfive years. when foreigners did not know whether they were dealing with one governmnt or thirteen.” | Don’t take chances with your health —that cold—get it off your chest with | BAUME BENGUE | C(ANALOESIQUER ) Rub the Bengué in and the cold out Atany DrugStore—Keepatubehandy | ‘Thos.
