'12 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, AMERICANS WORRY CONSLLS IN CHIVA Foreigners Who Penetrate Remote Areas Declared Taking Risk. TV REGINALD SWEETLAND. @pecial Correspondence of the Chicago Daily 's_Poreign Service Copyright. 19%0. the Chicago D S, SHANGHAL China.—Americans other foreigners are to be discouriged @s much as possible from traveling in the interior of this vast country, partly | s a matter of protection and partly to avoid charges of seditious activities. Such is_the sense of a declaration made by Dr. C. T. Wang, minister of foreign affairs, and it is to be ex| that full sympathy with Dr. Wang's at- titude will b> found in the American consulates throughout the country. Every time a foreigner takes & jaunt into ‘the interior he causes a twinge of to his consul, since in the final snalysis the latter is responsible to his own State Department for the safety ©of his nationals. | All Forms of Banditry Rage. The interior of China is not a safe place for an American or other foreign subject to be these days. There are enough menaces to life and property to bring gray hairs to those in the lega- tions and consulates. For example, there are Communists who Wwill persist in burning towns and villages and slaughtering their inhabitants, to men- tion nothing of kidnaping a missionary or_two for ransom. s Then there are the roving bandit gangs, made up mostly of deserting or| disbanded troops. They have rifles and machine guns and prey upon the coun-| tryside. A captive foreigner is wonder- ful bait and can be used to obtain either money or arms or. in some instances, full absolution for their civic crimes. ‘There are omo;}edanzers. For ex-| ample, pirates. The rivers, m-Zm :’hippmg lanes abound with dis- les of Capt. Kidd. Every coastal ves- | sel carries an armed guard, as do ships along certain sections of the Yangtze and other navigable rivers. Husky Sikhs armed with modern rifies stand watch outside your cabin and on the bridge during the night journey from Hong- kong to Canton. American naval rat- ings armed with a machine gun and H& guard the vessels flying the Ameri- can flag from Hankow to Chungking. Turn Machine Guns on Ships. Not alone are there pirates, but gangs of outlaw soldiers, .sometimes to the tune of several thousand, line the nar- row banks of the Yangtze and turn rifies and machine guns onto the river ps. ‘Thén there is the danger of war. American residents have been warned out of Chengchow, Feng Yu-hsiang's base of operations in the present con- flict against Nanking. Four to six bombs have been dropping on the town daily, though the damage has been slight. Per] it was for this reason that American missionaries refused to heed the ‘warning. More gray hairs for the American Minister to China. Three provinces, with an area of three ©of America’s largest States, have been declared unsafe for the residence or ence of foreigners. They are Hupeh, onan and Hunan, though Kiangsi has long been described as too dangerous for foreign safety. Hupeh and Honan suf- fer from warfare, and the others from such things as Communists, bandits and pirates. While the Northern alliance would not be at all displeased to see the Nanking government engulfed in an international incident, which the death of a foreiger or two might entail, the Chiang-Kai-Shek government has its own idea about such matters. : Business Men Stick to Posts. China as a whole has never been eompletely prepared to receive the for- eigner within her gates. Missionaries may reside and travel dén the great back country, known as the interior, but not business men. These later must confine their activities to the cities opened to them by treaties. If a foreign business man would do business in the interior, then he must appoint a Chinese agent whose residence in the interior is un- questioned. Most of the people one meets while traveling In the interior are kindly folk; men with tired backs, women with sad eyes and children who have lost the wonderment of life at an all too early age. The burdens of life press hard upon them. They sow and they reap, but they cannot always mar- ket their crops because they cannot move them. Railroads are almost en- tirely given over to the movement of troops. Passenger trains are days late and will take anywhere from 14 to 30 hours to travel 300 miles. Great stacks of sacked grain line the depots. They are last year's crop and are sprouting as they stand under all varieties of weather. There are days when the great Yangtze, China’s great- est waterway, is almost deserted of na- tive craft. Many have been com- d and others are in hiding. Foreign and Chinese steamships carry steel plates behind which passengers and crew hide from bullets. National MISS ARIA MARIE SCHWARTZ, Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip J.

J. —Harris-Ewing Photo. flags are painted in huge blocks upon the bows and midship, so there shall | be no question of nationality when bandits open fire. But the bands are not at all discriminatory; one ship is as good a target as another. As for the charge that certain for- eigners have been engaged in seditious activities in the interior, this applies more to prowling Russians than to any other nationality. Occasionally these men are picked up and taken to the district magistrate and _questioned. Then they are taken to Nanking to ex- plain themselves. Arrests in the in- terior are infrequent—but then so, too, are the foreign travleers. Few foreign- ers travel in the interior for fun or adventure. They much prefer to re- main in the comparative safety of such treaty ports as Shanghai, Hankow or Tientsin. CALEDONIAN MARKET IS SIGHT OF LONDON Unlovely Square Is Filled With Goods Gathered From Four Corners of Earth. LONDON (N.AN.A.).—The Cale- donian Market, though not such a Mecea for hunters as it used to be, is still one of the sights of Lon- don, and every Friday morning the unlovely square off that long and noisy Caledonian road is filled with goods gathered from the four corners of the earth and now scattered in the most casual fashion on stalls and pavement. | One fascination of the market is that you never know whom you will meet there. Artists, millionaires and beg- gars jostle against housewives and tourists, and you may’ be served by a mper or a princess. One recent itue of the market is Dame Laura Knight, who is convinced that she can find many new and interesting types among the stall holders. One of the most picturesque . figures in_the market is the daughter of a Polish princess. She calls herself Miss Leon, and her “line” is antiques and bric-a-brac. About six years ago she rented what is called by courtesy a | “stall,” but is really a few feet of paved | ground, at the usual cost of about 50 | cents a week, and one of her first ex- periences was the friendly offer from | a “neighbor” of a jug of tea of the | consistency of black sirup, from which | half a dozen others had already re- freshed themselves.

An Unprecedented Showing of | WALKER’S SANITATION CHIEF FACES REAL JOB May Find It Necessary to Use Police as Well as Cans and Brooms on Streets. NEW YORK (N.ANA).— When Mayor Walker recently appointed his debonair secretary, Charles S. Hand, as sanitation commissioner to handle the street cleaning job, he announced it as “the best promotion at my command.” Since then Mr. Hand, in going about the streets to learn the proportions of his task, has cause to wonder over those words. Following the “white wings” he has found that in tenement districts the sidewalks are strewn with rubbish and decaying vegetables only a few min- utes after broom and traveling can have gone that way. He has visited the Coney Island beaches and seen that the bathing miasses would rather sit in | trash than throw it into cans plenti- fully provided. Women ignore nolice warnings and throw milk bottles upon sand already glittering with broken glass, and storekeepers dump refuse into gutters. So Mr. Hand is convinced that some real police action will be required to get the city's streets, sidewalks and beaches really clean, and to keep them clean. Also, as a former newspaper re- porter, who “covered” national political conventions and toured with Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson as candidates, Mr. Hand has hopes of “dramatizing” the street cleaner. He has figures to snow that such work is more hazardous to life and limb than the work of firemen and policemen, and he wants the citi- zenry to Tespect the street cleaner and defer to his authority on the canning of trash. merey.” Where IT NEVI FAILS, Despite eity cost of SANTONIN, it con! g Stood sixty yea (.

HONGKONG (#)—Women are push- ing men into the background in the Chinese bandit picture. Roving bands of women brigands are sacking villages in parts of Kwangtung Province, according to reports here, with men bandits in secondary places. In one instance the band was esti- mated to consist of about 200 women and 100 men. The leader was a woman with her husband as first lieutenant. This band, it is charged, swooped down on Shekkl City at midnight fir- ing it after robbing the occupants. | Later the band sacked Woo Chung and | fled to the hills with 100 citt ens of the better class, holding them for ransom. Ten were released when the chief bandit convinced herself they were poor and had no property. Another daring coup by women rob- bers is reported from Manchang, on the island of Hainan. Upon pretense of paying taxes four women entered the bureau of militia. Taking officials off guard the leader shot the chief dead as he sat as his desk. The Amazons then lined the staff up against the wall and ransacked the place for cash, arms nd ammunition. Canton authorities are taking steps against the women robbers and Admiral Chan Chak has been sent to Hainan with a force of marines. Ecuador is strictly enforcing the law that aliens may not own property with- in 30 miles of the coast and frontiers. D.

LONDON (N.A.N.A.).—The youngest aspirant for transatlantic flying honors is Miss Leslie Mant, a fair-haired, sun- burned schoolgirl of 14. She is now studying for her ground engineer’s aero certificate at Heston Aerodrome, and she has decided to fly the Atlantic from east to west directly she is allowed to hold a flying license, when she is 17. She has already got out all her plans and spends most of her spare time look- ing over maps and charts of the At- and lists of airplane manufacturers. “When I fly the Atlantic,” she said, “I am going to take a navigator with me, because I am not very good at| trigonometry and I don‘t want to get lost. I shall use a three-engine fiving boat. That is the safest way. Adfter- | ward I shall fly solo to Capetown and back and then I shall go round the world.” Miss Mant had her first joy-ride | when she was 11 and has been so keen on airplanes ever since that her mother has been persuaded to let her leave | school to devote her time to fiying, | VHILRED == & il Wi 503 12th St. N.W.
