NG. POON CHOW HERE FRIDAY

, I ——*• Ia rare treat for communI TTY IN STORE FRIDAY r MT* I ■ ’ ~ JX'a'.' -hr'. '■' ' . •■’, •■ | Ng. Poon Chow, wen known Chinese publicist and lecturer, who will lecture at the Presbyterian church on the Lyceum course Friday evenins, as is to be expected, feels very strongly against the Japanese in the Shantung matter. ; “At the peace conference,” he says, “Japan demanded that the former German rights in the province of Shantung with the economic control of 39,000,000 of the Chinese people be transferred to Japan and at the same time Japan -threatened to leave the peace cdnference. Japan made this threat at the time When the representatives of the allied nations were already working under difficulty and embarrassment after the departure of Italy from the conference on account of the Fiume tangle. The allied nations, seeing the earnestness Of to hold to the Shantung rights at any coat, granted her demands.” “Japan,” he continued, “tries to justify her demand for the control of Shantung by saying that she did not take anything from China but only from Germany; that Chsna did not lose anything by it and that f the taking of this control from , Germany cost Japan much in lives • and money. In this reasoning, what is the difference in Japan’s action in this matter' from the case of a policeman taking the loot from a burglar and keeping it instead of returning it to its rightful owner on the grounds that he, the policeman, did not rob the former owner, but only got it from a burglar and therefore he is entitled to the loot.” . “Surely,” he affirms, “events in the Orient are proceeding in such a way |hat in an evil hour of the world’s .tomorrow they will plague and curse the peace of the world for years to come.” Mr. Chow could very reasonably claim that his is one of the first Chinese families. The following are some of the facts he could 'base his claims on: ; X X. ' He was the first Chinaman to establish a daily newspaper m the United States. , Hia-wife established the first Y. W. .C. A. for Chinese women m America. „ x,, • • Cffis son was the first Chinaman ’to be commissioned an officer in I the United States army. . A daughter was the firat Chinese young woman to be appointed by a board of education to teach m the public schools of California.

BUT FIVE OF COL. HAMMOND’S “BOYS” ARE LIVING

William Hoover was a caller at the Republican office today and informed us that so far as his memory serves him there are but five of Colonel Edwin P. Hammonds Co. A boys, who served throughout the entire campaign, still living. Mr. Hoover has delved into the records and is of the firm belief that there are but five survivorsof the company. The five are: Whitsell Lewis, George L. Morgan, Ti^ 48 Crockett, C. P. Wright.and WiHiam Hoover. All are residents of this city. George L. Morgan is spending the winter in Chicago with his daughter and will be the only one of the five you will not be present at the services this afternoon. John Nichols, father of County Clerk Nichols, was a member Colonel Hammond’s company, but was discharged shortly after entering the service. There are some few others who served as members of Company A, who are still Eving, but the five mentioned above are the only living members who served throughout the entire life of the company. . ...w,. - -

GIGANTIC RECRUITING

Washington, Jan. Baker has addressed a letter to the governor of each state requesting his official co-operation in the na-tion-wide recruiting drive to ba inaugurated by the war department and to be intensified during the week. The governors were asked to issue proclamations calling the attention of their dtiaens to the importance of the advantages offered in the new “citizen army” and to otherwise assist in the effort to bring the army up to the full authorized strength. Army officiate said today a minimum of 75,000 new enEstments would be required before March 31 in order that the best results can be obtained from the training of the reorganized army. Of this total 38,000 would become eligible for transfer to the regular army reserve and practically all of the remainder are one year enlistments which will be terminated in the near future. The national campaign, it was said, has been organized on a scale even more ambitious than the wartime liberty loan drives. Not only the loan organizations of the treasury, the postmasters and patriotic civilian societies will be used, but also the clergy.

NATION’S RICHES NO LONGER CONFINED TO THE EAST

Washington, Jan. 28.—Decentralization of the country’s batiking resources and widespread distribution of wealth indicated by an increase in banking resources of .1,000 per cent or more in 16 states since 1899, was shown by a comparison of present bank resources, with conditions 20 years ago, issued today by John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency. The banking power of the country 20 years ago was concentrated mainly in the east, the report j»id, and national banks in New England and eastern states, comprising but rix per cent of the territory of the United States, held almost 60 percent of the total resources of all the national banks in the country. The proportion of the resources of banks in those states to all others now has fallen to 46.78 per cent, although the resources of the national banks in those states have increased 277 per cent or |7,710,937,000. Every section of the country has shared in the tremendous increase in wealth since 1899, but the report shows that the pacific coast has experienced the largest percentage of increase in national bank resources, amounting to 1340 per cent.
