The uprising was the worst anti- Christian demonstration in the his- tory of Foochow. Catholic Centers Attacked. Churches, schools, hospitals and foreign residences were ransacked The riot was precipitated by north ern soldiers incorporated into the Cantonese army. All Catholic churches and schools in the city were attacked. Other in- stitutions plundered included the Anglican and Methodist hospitals, the eity branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, the Anglican girls’ school and the boys' blind school. Girls Are Abducced. The demonstration had its fore- runner Saturday, when Fukien stu- dents broke into the Spanish Domini- can orphanage, vicarage and church, drove out the nuns and priests and abducted the Chinese orphan girls there. Foochow is about 35 miles inland on the Ninkiang River. It is one of the principal cities of Fukien Province, where anti-Christian feeling has been spreading for some time. U. S.

In some quarters it has | been said that the crisis, so far as | Mexico is concerned, has passed. So tar, however, there has been no state. ment from the administration regard. ing the most recent happenings in Mexico. Members of Congress, and presum. | ably the administration, are receiving many letters protesting against any | armed conflict with Mexico. Some of them are from leaders in Protestant churches, and some of them take the view that a_war with Mexico would be a “Catholic war.” The religious issue, hecause of the opposition of the Catholics to the present government in Mexico, threatens to overshadow the issue’ of American rights in Mexico, it is said.

VERNON RIVER Recommended by Agriculture Department for Memorial Boulevard. river route for the proposed | Memorial boulevard from Washington to Mount Vernon, which it.is hoped will be completed in time for the bi- centennial celebration of Washing- ton’s birth, in 1932, is recommended by the Department of Agriculture in }a report on a survey made at the di- | rection of the House committee on roads by the Bureau of Public Roads. The estimated cost of the route rec- ommended is approximately $4,000,000 and it is hoped that an initial appro- priation which will allow the engi- neers to make preliminary fills during the coming year will be included in the appropriation bill before Congress adjourns. The chief of the bureau of public roads in his report points out that be- fore deciding on the recommendation of the river front route surveys and estimates were made for two routes, one going west of the city of Alexan- dria and directly from the Memorial bridge to Mount Vernon as topogra- phy and developed conditions of the historic region would permit. The other is the line along the river front. Upper Line Called Best. In comparison of the two, the upper line has the advantage of shorter dis tance and about 25 The 25 per cent lower cost, this route being 12} miles in length, while the river route would be approximately 143z miles, one mile of which, through Washington street in the city of Alexandria, is already constructed. The advantages of the river front route. the commission on fine arts and other important Government agencies and officials, are as follows: 1. The scenic advantages and ex- ceptional possibilities it renders for extensive additions to the park system of Washington. Alexandria and Washington, a consid- erable portion of which, in’ the estu- aries of the Potomac, .is now owned by the District of Columbia, and_the remainder, which the Bureau of Pub. lic Roads is assured might be secured at comparatively small cost, is readily susceptible to development along the river front, just as the north side of the river in Potomac Park has been | developed. That portion of the road south of Alexandria is located along the bluffs overlooking the Potomac, which affords a series of beautiful views of the river and surrounding landscape. It also has the advan tages of no intersecting highways ex- cept in the city of Alexandria, where s the upper road, within a few would be largely through a built-up area with numerous intersecti highways, which are always dang ous to life !
