The party started in three small boats with their baggage for their journey down the Min river to Chung-King. e Min, a tributary of the great Yangtse river, rises among the lofty mountains of Thibet not far away, and by the time it reaches Chengtu is still rather shallow, doubtless because so much of it is used for irigation purposes in the intensive farming of the Chinese on the great populous Chengtu plain | with its millions of people. Pro- gress was rather slow at the start and although the district is in about the latitude of Jacksonville and New Or- leans, they had to burn charcoal fires on the boats to keep warm.

Rome, Feb. 22.—Reports received by the secretary of state of the Vati- can, says the Giornale D’Italia, show that Germany, although maintaining an excellent military position, feels seriously the consequences of the war and therefore has modified materially ‘ner views on peace conditions to be “imposed.”” The paper adds: “The Pontiff considers that such a condi- tion of affairs lends itself favorably to steps. He is reported again to have itnerpolated Emperor William to know on what conditions Germany would be disposed to nego- peace, observing that in any case the military honr of Germany is safe.” CRO!

Because of the bands of Brigands along the river, they had soldiers on their boats, but after waiting in vain at Suifu for new ones to come, they had to push on without them. “Fur- ther down the river,” Mr. Neumann writes, “a band of robbers fired on our boats. Our boatmen, however, were plucky, and refused to come to shore as they were ordered to, but rowed hard to get out of range. As soon as they got us to shore on the opposite bank we went up to the v lage, and shortly afterwards our es cort from Suifu, for which we had walited, but finally had come off with- out, arrived and fired on the robbers, who were getting into boats to come across. We secured a large escort of thirty men from the nearest city, and then started out early the next morn- ing. The robbers were on hand wait- ing for us but our escort was too big for them and they had to let us go by.- We had no further trouble on the way to Chung-King.” MRS. G. B. NEUMANN Mr. Neumann writes that owing to the war, he had been unable to se- cure definite engagement of steamer passage across the Pacific, but hoped to make the 1500 mile trip down the Yangtse river to Shanghai in time to leave there the latter part of Feb- ruary, and to reach New Britain, via San Francisco, early in April, after be- ing away since 1908. ‘His work in Chengtu has been quite largely in connection with West China Union University, of which he is treasurer, and head of the department of econ- omics and history.
