Predicts United States of China Will Emerge From Present Chaos

NEW YORK, Dee. 7.—China is at last awake, and a few years will see a unified nation —thè United States of China —emerging from thè chaos of thè Far East. This confederatimi will be thè ideal democracy of thè world, more democratic even than thè United States of America, and China again will be one of thè great nations, with thè world’s largest electorate in its 350,000.000 to 4<'0,000,000 population. And this new republic—this United States of thè Far East —will consider thè United States of America as its best friend aniong thè nations. That is thè vision of thè new China as seen by Roy Anderson, an American. who has lived there twenty years, and who is described by other authorities on China as being thè man who “knows more about China than thè Chinese.” For mariy years he has been confìdential adviser to prominent mcn in China, and has known personaJly every prominent figure there in thè last decade. New ( luna Is dose "And remember that you will see this new and greater China in your day,” he said. “This unified China will come in a surprisingly short time, and it will be one of thè world’s greatest and most peaceful nations. The signs of thè coming of a great China may be observed throughout thè land. In time, I think.

PARIS, Dee. 7. —The offensivo powers of fighting aircraft will be increased tremendously, it is believed by experts, as a result of an invention now undergoing its guai trials in thè French naval arsenal. The invention at first was reported to be a newly developed recoil absorber for big guns, but it is leamed authoritatively that it consists of a combined muzzle brake and muffler, similar in principle to an American invention which, it is understood, already is being manufactured under thè supervision of thè United States Navy. The French device, details of which are being kept seoret by thè govem- ! ment. was developed from a muzzle brake invented twó years and a half ago by MAI. Galliot and Bory, French naval research experts. In it there has been incorporated thè muffler feature. so thè result is said to be an almost total absorption of thè gun’s recoil and elimination of thè tlash at thè muzzle. Another great advantage is seen in thè fact that it makes possibie a great reduction in thè weight of thè gun mounting, so thè airplanes of thè future may carry mùch more powerful guns.

great Government is proceeding slowly among thè millions of thè population, so that thè new union will be founded deeply in thè popular will and feeling of thè people. The Chinese have a fine spirit' of democracy, and thè possibilities of thè incorporation of that spirit into human institutions are almost beyond comprehension. China now has excellent locai Governments in cities, villages, towns and smaller communities, and about ninoty per cent of her sehool systems are supported by thè people themselves, not by thè State.

Current expenses of postage stamps, congressional records, and printing of bilia and resolutlons have been negligihle. Thus, tho country will have had two sessions for thè price of one. Incidentally, this special session has been thè shortest In thè history of tlie country.

Now that thè session is about over, thè House is assuming credit for doing all thè work.

ABKMLMORIALTO LINCOLHTS YGIITH State Association Members Cal|| for Hoosier Response. Calling for members to thè Indiana Lincoln Memorial Association, W. A. Guthrie, president, today reminded Indiana that Lincoln lived in thè State for fourteen years. “We want to ercct a building or a monument as a memorial to thè youth of Lincoln f ” Mr. Guthrie said. “From his seventh to his twenty-fìrst year Lincoln lived, worked and played in Indiana. Who can say that those formative years did not mean to him what they mean to every other boy of any race? “Kentucky, honoring thè memory of thè man who was hers through accident of birth, has built a shrine to which pilgrimages are made constantly by people from every State in thè Union. Have we, in Indiana, no reason to be proud of thè heritage that carne to Lincoln from our State? Too long have we neglected thè sacred task of erecting a memorial such as our sister States of Kentucky and Illinois built.” Membership to thè association Is $1 for adults and 25 cents for persons under 18 years of age. Special gifts and contributions also are welcomed, Mr. Guthrie said. Remittances of dues now entitles one to full membership until Feb. 12, 1924.
