BANDIT LORD 111 CHINA'S SADDLE (Continued Prom Page 1) ■wrong, it would be a mistake to fail 3to recognize that their impulse was patriotic and that they were orjly ■red because they were convinced that fco redress was to be had otherwise. Results Must Be Seen B “Definite conference action with Besults which are immediately obBious to China, is imperative. EvoMtionary reforms are very desirable, Bnd revolutionary reforms will not Be necessary if the conference acts, "nstead of quibbles, to revise the Chinese customs sanely and to modernize the unilateral treaties. It is very vital, also, to avoid a deadlock, which would be equally dangerous because it would play into the hands of every interest opposed to China, and it would oiierate for cooperation in furnishing propaganda to the Bolsheviks in their urgent revolutionary propaganda. "Moscow, which threatened to attempt the overturn of European ernments, is now directing its entire forces toward China. Russia is anxious to see a deadlock, and is pointing it successfully repudiated its old debts and treaties, and it is preaching that it is possible for China to duplicate the Moscow form I nla. Consequently that deadlock •would menace not only China, but all governments. Plague May Spread “Inoculate more than 400,000,000 Bfhinese with Russias political Blague, and no nation will he able Successfully to quarantine it." ■ To a suggestion that in America, Bolshevism sometimes appeared to Bea cry of wolf and its influence las an important factor somewhat dubious, the general retorted. Bolshevism normally is incompatible with Chinese psychology, hut the times are abnormal and there ere indisputable facts proving that some leaders are willing to use it es an instrument and do, working directly with and receiving assistance from Moscow. “Certain northern highways are closed for secret transportation of munitions from Russia. “Tuan Chi-Jui (chief executive of China) permitted radical disorders in the 'heart o' Peking. I am partially to blame for this, because of my support which enabled Tuan to occupy his present position. “I have been disappointed thus far. for there has been no result except the breeding of a radical menace.” Clash May Come It is commonly reported that Chang Tso Lin now feels that the chief executive is over-friendly to Gen. Feng Yuh Siang, the “Christian General,” who i sreputed to be openly pro-Russian and radical antiforeign. A decisive clash between Chang and Tuan within a few months is regarded as inevitable and it may perhaps occur at any moment, should Feng attempt to strengthen his position at Peking. In such an event, Chang Tso Lin Immediately ■y* uld attempt to oust Tuan and jform a national dictatorship. B I asked the war lord if the re'moval of Tuan at an early moment was probable, but he smilingly evaded the question, indicating that Tuan had been made chief executive easily and cou and be even more uneasily unmade. He indicated that normally the question of extra territoriality and customs revision would be regarded by the masses as unimportant, but the problem had assumed a greater gravity now since the masses were Inflammable material in the hands of a reckless leader. Quick Action Needed "Meanwhile,” he continued, “the question of utmost importance to foreigners is what Is being done to remedy the situation which is becoming worse and more menacing daily, despite the aspect of application of the torch of political Incendiarism at countless points, there will he no conflagration, for the flames can be stamped out if action is prompt." He suggested that the Manchurian army if morally, and probably financially, supportqjl, could deal with the bolshevist problem. “I regret that in the past the powers have not supported the efforts of myself md others in the interest effecting “fficient centralization.,” he said. "Foreign disinclination to support any Individual should be terminated, and instead all should unite upon a leader strong enough to

' " ' . Cl,

If your fingers tire signing the checks in response to the plateglass front envelopes you receive about the first of the month, think of Charles E. Coffin, hoard of works president, and cheer up. He's the champion signer of Indianapolis. Coffin has no “signometer," hut he estimates he has signed his name to the flood of documents that pass through the board of worsts office 80,000 times during the four years of the Shank administration. He kept an actual count in 1925 hnd the figure was 22,000. The hoard of works meets three times a week. Expert long-division reveals an average of 140 signatures each meeting day. Fellow sufferers and signers are William H. Freeman anc’ Dr. M. J. Spencer. When tb:>y seek sanctuary in the office to begin the day’s sign ing rebellious city councilmen get wrathful and declare they hold deal with the situation and wise enough to enable China to get her just obligations and to work for her salvation on lines equitable to herself and the world.”

back-room sessions, board members say. In the face of councilinanic re bellious and political troubles, board members have kept signing away and have actually transacted twice a<i much business us any former hoard of works. Statistics show the board paved sixtyseven miles of streets and alleys and dug fifteen miles of sewers In J 924 and indications are that more than 300 miles of streets and alleys will have been paved before the administration is ended. Coffin now is serving under his ninth mayor. He was a member of the park board twenty-two years before he became president' of the board of works.
