Can China Protect Al “In the discussion of these problems, one of the most difficult quest is whether China now has a stable government, capable of carrying out these treaty obliga- lons. T am very sure that the peo- ple th United States do not wish to control, by treaty or otherwise, the internal policies of China, to fix its tariffs or estublish and administer courts, but that thev look forward to the day when this will not be neces. eary. Oniy within the past complete uncertainty of Chinese con. ditions was exhibited in connection with the attempt of Silas H. Strawn Amerlca’s principal delegate at the anference, 10 Peking from Shanghai by train. The Chica Jawyer's train was held up by (‘hinese handits and compelled to detour to suit their whims. China in effect is today in b it bondage. There is a central government, with a in power at Peking, and with nominal authority over the two chief inter- national ports of Shanghal and Tien Tsin But the real ruler of this heart of Ch is the bandit viceroy of Manchuria, the notorfous and power- ful Chang-Tso-Lin, whose troops rule the roost in the three great ecities above mentloned. One of ‘Washing- ton’s foremost authorities on China explains that if Americans will hark back to the day imagine his minions and armed men in control at Washington, New York, Boston and Pittshurgh, Americans will ba able to picture to themselves something of the state of affairs now prevailing in unhappy Chin: Red n Offing.

At present ates are fixed by the treaty p under the “maritime customs” s tem and administered in the name of the powers by a British official. An- other obnoxlous limitation on thelr freedom which the Chinese want re- moved is the salt monopoly, which 1so internationally administered under British direction. Revenues from hoth import tariffs and the salt monopoly are devoted to the liquida- tion of China’s foreign debts. One day, too, China will insist upon evacuation of Peking and Tien-Tsin by the several thousand foreign troops, including Americans, which wre in China in the guise of guard » international interests. China, ton, will demand that the huge fleet ¢ foreign gunboats which patrol the Yangtse River and its branches in scores of directions, including Ameri- can vessels, shall leave Chinese waters.

It is “ohsolete” as far as type is concerned, it was explained, as all the DHs are | in that category. Its airworthiness was sound, and particular attention had been pald to its upkeep because its main use at McCook Field was to “ferry” civillans. | FIRST ;gl CLA|M7IS PAID. | Widow of Submarine Disaster Vie- tim Gets Check in Two Days.
