DIARY OF A WAR CORRESPONDENT By D. C. BESS faitert Press Staff rorr'esTHinTlent ' July .—The arrival of Feng Yuksiang ami the service at the Sun Yat•en shrine have been the signal for t startling change in Peiping. The dtT has suddenly turned Southern, fiery body in town was given a holiiay today, and the parks, to which a imall admission fee is charged, were thrown open. Kuomintang flags appeared everywhere — the street-cars tarried dozens of them, together with propaganda banners. The streets were filled with idle men—lecturers appeared in dozen places, endeavoring to make themselves heard above the din. Few people paid much attention to the speakers. They were too busy haying ice cream, soft drinks, candy ud cakes. It was a real holiday, but bo “drunks" appeared. The Northern Chinese are about the soberest people on earth. I asked a Chinese waiter at the Peking hotel tonight if he was a member of the Kuomintang. He shook his head. ‘‘Why not?" "No sense to it." he retorted. The Northern Chinese do not speak or understand Pidgin English, as they do in the South. The Chinese tell me that the propaganda movement is started in earnest now. Yen Hsi-shan stopped propaganda so long as he controlled Peking. But day by day he has been losing control. The Southerners rule tke roost now—Southerner men are getting all the choice jobs. Only Kuomintang members have a chance, •ml the Northerners refuse to join Ute Kuomintang. 1 asked my Chinese teacher what be thinks of the Kuomintang. “Too ttueh talk," he answered shortly. 1 ssked him, "Are many Peking people tang?" He said, “No, The K'noamtang is Southern. They will not jobs to Northerners, Why should they join?" y — o Missouri State Life Insurance Co., Takes Over Defunct Company T C , lc **°- August 27 —(IMS> —William |7 , ’ president of the Missouri State ljv "’“ranee company, announced toik ' 8 organization had taken over al Hr n j lre I) ” siuess of the Internationn, “insurance company of St. Louis Life reinsured and oro,l Policy holders of the Internationiat| 7 ea ' was tdosed this forenoon temaun*™! 6 . efrective at noon.
