Special Dispatch to The Stas STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calif., February 6.—Ten thousand experi- ments made during the last 10 vears with spiritualist mediums from various parts of the Pacific Coast by Prof. J.

PASTOR URl;iES PENALTY FOR POLITICAL NEGLECT Ballot as Sacred as Page From the Bible, Says Rev. Dr. Olson of Baltimore. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, February 6.—"No person can be a good Christian and not take an interest in politics,” the Rev. Oscar T. Olson. pastor of Mount Vernon Methodist Episcopal Church, declared in a sermon this week. He termed his address “a denunciation of the political cowards and infidels who are responsible for the fact that so many men and women believe that it is not possible to be in politics and live a clean life.” Dr. Olson spoke after he had read 30 answers to a questionnalre sent out by him to some 2,500 men in the city asking if they thought it p live “a clean -life" American politics. cent responded in the negative. “In my opinlon a ward leader is more respectable than a church leader who sits back comfortably and lets the unscrupulous rabble run the govern- ment. “Go into politics.

THEODORE W. NOYE | n. In the clash of war lords, big and little, and their armies, it is of inter- est to learn what we can of the real | strength the contending forces. | When, in addition, one gets a speak ntance with the names not of the great, but of the minor war lords, provincial governors, affill- ated with Chang or Feng or Wu, one {ean unders! better the dis- patches, often otherwise unintelligible which come out of China. A writer| in an October (1925) of the! North China Herald discusses this sub- ject interestingly. He divides Chinese | into three fighting, |coolie and paper soldiers.

Bel Bao-shan and Ma Ju- jen have 40,000 in Kiangsu. In Aunhui there are 20,000 men; in Hupeh, 40,000, and at Tsinanfu, 30.- 000. Wu Pel-fu, who is put at the tail of the list, is credited with only 10,000 men. Thirty thousand are claimed in his personal following. The newspaper writer has no authoritative figures concerning the strength of the army of Feng Yu- hsian, who has thrown a cloak of secrecy over his forces. He reports that Feng’s followers say that he can i throw into war 50,000 soldiers, well equipped and adequately financed. Other supporters clatmed for him a very much larger army, next in size to that of Chang Tsolin, and events | seem to sustain their estimates. Henry | K. Norton in Asia for January credits | Feng with $0,000 men and with a re- serve of 70,000 Mongolians, organized. equipped and trained by the Russians. The fighting soldiers, thus reported |in Chang's army and the central | China forces opposed to him, far exceed half a million, and repre- sent a nominal Chinese army, count- ing coolie soldiers, of over a million. This enormous total does not in clude the Cantonese Red and anti- Red forces. or the soldiers in Iunan, Szechuan, Yunnan, Kueichow and the extreme northwest. Cantonese Reds and Anti-Reds. The Ca The buted dis- Y dublous o men, ntonese factions are neglected in the calculations because they have been viewed as holdin ch other in deadlock, so far as participation in the fighting in Central and North China: is concerned. Sun Yat Sen’s South { China government, at Canton, is now | completely under bolshevik Russian | control, but the white section of the Cantonese iz said to outnumber largely the red, though the latter have the disciplined army and control of the military resources. The Reds are credited with an army of 65,000 men. The Cantonese white sec- tion is viewed as sympathetic to Wu vei-fu. e fongkons. in October, there was interesting gossip and swapping of | predictions among Americans and glishmen, driven out of Canton nd Kwangtung province by the fighting there. It was predicted t!mt within two vyears Gen. Chang Kal- chih. the Chinese red, who in co- operation with the Russian envoy and enerals controls Canton and its neigh- borhood, would be knocked out by the anti-reds. Tt was thought that Gen. Lang Chi-vao, a white Kuomingtang adherent, and supporter of Wu Pel-fu, Who controls Yunnan and Kweichow provinces, would co-operate with Gen. Chen Chulng-ming, then at Swatow, against the red forces at Canton. It Was predicted that if Gen. Chang Kal- shih ceased through death or other cause, to head the red army the Rus- sians would be unable to control the Chinese soldiers, now held to them by Gen. Chang, and the downfall of the red regime in ton, and with it Russian control, would follow. Within three or four years it was expected that with the antireds in control at Canton and the red Russians expelled an alliance of North and South China might be effected. Since October Gen. Chen Chuing- ming at Swatow has been attacked by the Cantonese red army and defeated. Gen. Chang Kai-Shih has recently re- signed and a successor has been ap- pointed. Borodin, Russian adviser to the Cantonese government, temporar- ily ousted through the opposition of the Whampaon cadets, is back again in office. The trend So far has not, therefore, been in the direction of ful- fillment of these prophecies. The Soviet control at Canton seems strong- er than ever. But by prudently postponing the date of fulfiliment for two or. three years these prophets have given Wu Peifu a reasonable time within which to consolidate con- trol of Central and North China, and. turning his attention to South China, to_make good their predictions. | to swell the amount allowed them by | ’ When the victors in the war among be Chinese barons have set up a new ISHALL GIANT CHINA BECOME ISHMAEL AMONG NATIONS?

They typif. a_constantly increasing group, which, it intrusted with the control and up { building of China, would gain world respect and regard for the ancient na- tion, and would bring deserved better- ments of conditions of life to millions of its people. But chaotic China ushes this group between the upper nd lower millstones of lack of appre- ciation by massed millions at the bot tom, who must work from morning to night to avold starvation, and who have no time for patriotic ideals: and a corresponding lack of appreciation by barons, big and little, many ex-bandits, with their mercenary armies. in whom avarice and ambition destroy patriot- ism. The supreme Chinese war lord will use members of the highly culti- vated group as a superior orde servants as long as they promote personal ambition and adorn h tatorship. and will throw them like a sucked orange when they ¢ to be useful, or threaten opposition t the war lord’s selfish ambition. C when their particular war lord ousted from power by another, they suffer, perhaps in exile, the fate of the ex-.dictator to whom they have been appended. Future of New China. If in the high and rising tide of Chinese nationalism the war lords an be fractionally cleansed of avarice and imbued with® patriotism, ug: gested as possible by Tong Shao-yi; or if the war lords, revealed beyond redemption. shall kill one another off or exile one another to Ru: Japan; and if the bands of mercenary soldiers, aggregating more than a million, can in part be merged into a | loyal national army and in part be financed as self-supporting colonists on the comparatively undeveloped lands of northwest China; and if con- trol of the government can thus be taken from the military and transfer- red to the patriotic, thinking class, now finspired by a strong spirit of national _consciousness, the whole world will, with China, vastly benefit. All of the powers will wisely con- tribute to this solution of the Chinese problem. The powers, which have fought to dismember North China and those which in the past have contended in the profitable and humiliating _exploitation of China provoking deep resentments, should o into reverse and compete for Chi- nese good will, not only by sympa- thetic words, but by acts of concrete helpfulne The future should salve the wounds of the past. The powers which have fettered China should loosen the ramping bonds. Unified China should develop into its strength, not as the Ishmael among nations whose hostile hand threatens the world, but as a welcome addition to the family of modern great nations, whose friend- ship the rest of the world desires and values. The alternative course of treatment does not promise desirable results. The spirit of China, Land of Philo- sophic Calm, is not warlike. All that the farming coolies, the bulk of the population, ask is to be let alone to wring a bare subsistence from the soil by the hardest of hard labor. When conscripted or kidnapped to serve as soldiers in the battles of the petty war-lords suicides among them to es- cape this semi-slavery are not un- known. Making China Militant.

As the result petition China more than a million of soldiers, each ith only a gun and his body to sell or rent.

If Russia and Japan continue com- petitively to swell this vast multitude of armed and trained Chinese soldiers, instead of co-operating to aid China to disband them and put them to work are they not both heading toward dis- aster?
