1.5 MSSOMRES STAYINGATPOST Campaign by Cantonese Against Traditions Fails to Wreck System. By the Assoctated Press NEW YORK, February 2.—Ameri- can missionaries in China are stand- ing by their posts in the face of danger and mission institutions are being maintained despite a Nationalist campaign against religion in south- ern China. Overthrow of old traditions and re- spect for authority in favor of un- bridled freedom In the Nationalist campaign have failed to wreck the mission sysiem, reports from religious authorities in China indicate. Materialistic View Spreads. A general philosophy breeding ma- terialism undreamed of in old China has been spread in the Nationalist antireligious crusade, Dr. N. Ber- covitz, Presbyterian missionary doctor on the island of Hainan, China, has informed e Presbyterian board of foreign missions here. “Following inspiration from Russia and with military power in their hands,” sald Dr. Bercovitz, “the young people are embarking on the unchariered sea of revolution.” Dr. Bercovitz reports that govern- ment school students, headed by their teachers and supported by armed sol- diers, destroyed all the idols and an- cestral tablets in every temple in Hol How. Denial of a reported collapse in Chi- nese missionary work is made in a statement of Rev. A. L. Warnshuis, secreta of the International Mis- slonary Couneil here. Investments Held Safe. Missionaries at Shaowu are staying at their posts, says Dr. James L. Bar- ton, senior foreign secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in Boston. Mission- arles are not asked to become mar- tyrs, he explained. Dr. Warnshuis thinks that an in- vestment of §$71,000,000, mostly Ameri- can and Capadian money, In Chi- nese colieges, schools and hospitals is safe, but he says that American presidents of these institutions are being deposed by Chinese executives. o Ly CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. “Septenary Constitution of Man" Wwill be the subject of study at the United Lodge of Theosophists, Hill Building, Seventeenth and I streets, tomorrow, 8:15 p.m. No charge.

Georgia Wesleyan Graduate Is Almost a Queen, Bishop Declares. Chinese Situation Contains All Elements of World Con- flict, Prelate Holds. By the Associated Press. MACON, Ga., February 2.—Mrs. Sun Yat Sen, American educated widow of the former provisional president of China, has taken up the banner dropped by her husband at his death and personally is leading the Cantonese, or southern forces, in their northward march to re-establish the principles of reform he advocated. This was the word brought here by Bishop W. N. Ainsworth of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church South on his return from a several-month tour of China. He described Mrs, Sun Yat Sen, a sraduate of Wesleyan College here, as one of the most powerful factors in the revolt now taking place in Chinay adding: “Her position is almost that of a queen among the, Cantonese. She is on the executive' staff of the Can- tonese army and maintains her head- quarters at the front as the troops ad- vance. It is under her direction large- ly that the Cantonese forces are car- rying out the reform movement of her dead husband with seemingly religious fervor.” THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO ISUN YAT SEN'S WIDOW LEADS CANTONESE ARMY PERSONALLY T MRS. SUN Bishop Ainsworth predicted that the Cantonese would be in control of China by Spring, declaring that their forces dally are growing stronger as the people as a whole accept their rinciples. P e id not belleve that the lives of missionaries were in great danger, al- though “they are suffering from an- novances and inconveniences due to the revolt.” & “Although it cannot be denied,” he said, “that the situation in China con- tains all the elements of a possible world conflagration, many reports that are being sent out are grossly in error on many points.” “GRAVE" REPORTS FROM CHINA CAUSE CONCERN IN ENGLAND (Continued from First Page.) time needed for loading the Chaumont with hundreds of tons of equipment. The American Infantry garrison at Tientsin, which is used under the protocol with China as a part of the foreign military patrol for the Peking Railway, has suffered many vacancies by expiring enlistments and dis- charges, and the 250 recruits will bring it up to no more than peace- time requirements. While the move is termed a routine one by the War Department, the order to the corps commanders stipulates that only “'spe- clally promising™ recruits, all ‘Ameri- can citizens, shall be accepted. Those taken from the 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th and 6th Corps Areas are to as- semble at New York for sailing March 8 for San Francisco, where they will join men from the 6th, 7th and 9th Corps Areas. All will sail from there March 81 for China aboard the trans- port Thomas. Borah at White House. President Coolidge called Chairman Borah of the Senate foreign relations committee to the White House late vesterday for a conference understood to have dealt with China, although nothing was divulged as to its nature. President Coolidge is still awaiting some intimation from China that an agreement can reached between the warring Chinese factions under which negotiations of new treaties with China can be taken up. ‘While' no move toward direct con- versations with the two major fac- tions had been made, it was intimated at the White House yesterday that in the event of negotiations the Wash- ington Government probably be reticent on the subject until it had some accomplished fact with which to deal with, The President feels that it is proper that general policies should be amnounced, but that nego- tiations with other governments must be conducted in an orderly and more or less confidential way until a con clusion can be reached. SHANGHAI RAISES BARRIER, British May Divert Some of Expe ditionary Forces. By the Associated Press. SHANGHAI, February 2.—British authorities preparing accommoda- tions here for expeditionary forces in the present trouble today encountered dificulty when they were reminded that the Shanghai foreign settlement is mtermtlon;,l in character and not urely British. i It ziu understood that this devel- opment led to considering the advisa- bility of diverting portions of the ex- peditionary forces to Hongkong and Wehaiwei, British settlement, 400 miles north of here, where they would be held in readiness. Barracks for approximately 8,000 men had been practically completed at Jessfield Park here, when construc- tion work suddenly was ordered stop- ped. It was then learned that the camp will not be used for the pur- pose which the British intended. Jessfleld Park is outside the interna- tional settlement and in Chinese ter- ritory, but is owned by the settlement municipality. Source of Opposition. It was understood that the change in British plans was due to opposi- tion from non-British members of the Shanghai Municipal Council, which supervises the foreign settlement. There also was a meeting of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, at which opposition was voiced to the use of any Chinese territory for the expeditionary forces. The presence of a representative of Marshal Sun Chuan-Fang, north- ern sympathizer, defending Shanghai against the Cantonese, at the cham- ber of commerce meeting was taken as a sign that this war lord will re- fuse the aid of British forces, or that at least he will take & stand similar to both the northern and Cantonese Moreas—Piraeus . ...

Preparations now are being made to quarter troops in warehouses, on docks and other premises which are purely British owned. China’s new year, which dawned yesterday, was marked by a revival of military activity that threatened to make the coming 12 months as sanguinary as those just past. Fighting Takes Place. Reports from Chekiang province show that the Cantonese government has six divisions of troops strongly based on Chuchow, near the frontler of Kiangsi province. Fighting is known to have taken place on this front. The center of the force of Marshal Sun Chuan-Fang, battling to uphold his supremacy in eastern China, re- created northward to Yen Chow. Simultaneously, heavy movements by the troops of the Cantonese and Peking governments presaged a new phase in the campaign in Honan province, where the alliance of north- ern war lords established its lines as a barrier to the advance of the Cantonese toward Peking. The Manchurians, commanded by Chang Hsueh-Liang, son of Chang Tso-Lin, who heads the northern alliance, con- tinue to pour into the province to unite their strength with that of Marshal Wu Pei-Fu. Wu is mus- tering his forces to regain his cen- tral China provinces, which he lost when he was forced out of Hankow by the Cantonese last August. The Cantonese (Natlonalists) are mustering their forces to meet the war machine rolling down from the north. They are engaged in whole- sale commandeering of foreign regis- tered ships on the Upper Yangtse River to move their troops from Ichang and other points to Hankow. Japanese, Italian, French and Swed- ish steamers were Impressed into this service. The southerners tried to take over the American vessel Chechuen, but official representations to Nationalist authorities caused them to order the troops removed. CHEN DEFENDS BREAK. Tells British Labor Group War At- mosphere Must Cease. HANKOW, February 2 (#).—While the Chinese New Year day today found the Far Eastern republic seem- ingly farther than ever from the path of peace, Eugene Chen, foreign min- ister of the Cantonese government, issued an appeal to British labor lead- ers declaring a settlement of differ- ences between England and the Na- tionalist government could be reach- ed “if only there is a cessation of the war atmosphere and war neurosis’ at Shanghal ‘The British laborites previously had indorsed the pronunciamento of the Cantonese government of January 24, in which Chen proclaimed the ability | ipa¢ of the Cantonese to impose their will on Nationalist China and inviting the powers to negotiate with him for a settlement of differences. Chen's latest communication to the labor leaders of Great Britain pleads the Nationalist cause for breaking off negotiations yesterday with British Charge d'Affaires Owen O'Mallgy looking toward an agreement between Enlltlnd 4and the Nationalist govern- ment. Refers to Americans. The appeal further declares it is significant that although the Amer- icans and Japanese also have large interests there, they have not found it necessary to resort to the massing of armed forces in China. Chen also asserted, “It is not and never has been within the contempla- tion of the Nationalist government to occupy by force” the Shanghal inter- national settlement, and concludes that the Nationalist government “must perforce await the ending of this period of duress before author- izing the signing of an agreement to settle the status of territory known the British concession at Hankow. Previously the Cantonese foreign minister issued a statement in which he declared he had tried to arrange a settlement of the Hankow-British concession question apart from the general issues between “Chinese na- tionalism and British imperiallsm” in a manner “to satisfy British senti- ment and preserve Nationalist self- respect.” Charge of Duress Made. In announcing the breaking off of the negotiations Chen said that for his government to sign under the .circumstances would be tantamount to acting under duress. Although the cessation of discus- sions clouded the situation, such a development was not unexpected. It had been known for days that Chen was faced with the difficult task of Lite 35,000-5-$420 Send Date Ins: 'DANDRUFF is caused b 5 sy Spe 7 Eerme which Guard t them with Newbroy Herpicide Itching, Annoying Skin Irritations Apply Zel::no, :{e:ljing Liquid, Wi applied directed Zemo effectively and qulcklr ops Itching and heals Skin Irritations, Sores, Burns, Wounds and Chafing.

The terms on which they were negotiating, although not made public, were said to have provided for virtual return of the British for- elgn concessions and practical tariff autonomy. Anti-British manifestations were renewed immediately after discon- tinuance of negotiations, posters being distributed in the concession, which was overrun by rloting coolies a month ago. AMERICAN DOCTORS MOVE. CANTON, February 2 (®)-—Ameri- can doctors of the John Kerr Hospital, an insane asylum, which is to be closed because of the Nationalist gov- ernment’s new regulations respecting hospitals, are having the utmost dif- ficulty in accommodating their pa- tients elsewhere.
