Bn Times Soecial GREENCASTLE. Ind., April 15. "What are you reading about China these days? Are you having visions of us fleeing i nthe dark to Shanghai before an angry mob?’’ writes Roy L. Tasker, formerly a member of the De Pauw University faculty, who two years ago went to Peking and in September transferred to Soochow, near Shanghai. He is director of the Biological Supply Service of Soochow University there. His letter, dated Feb. 27, said that at that time Soochow was quiet and peaceful. “We can’t quite Imagine anything happening to us here. The people of the city have always been very friendly to foreigners, and we have felt very safe. “We haven't had any rumors here

for some days. We are near enough Shanghai, with water transportation if the railway should be cut, so that we think we might much better stay here until something really does happen. Shanghai is surrounded by barbed wire, and British, as well as some American, troops are being landed frequently. The city is packed full of refugees from places farther inland, and there is a general atmosphere of excitement. “Here in Soochow we don't have any fear of our safety even if the Cantonese do take over the city. There probably would be a lot of unrest, labor troubles, and all, and possible student strikes or unpleas-

antness in the university. The university authorities are planning to accept whatever regulations the nationalist government may impose and try to go on as usual. You see we have a good deal of faith in the real leaders of this nationalist movement. They are trying to carry through a real revolution to overthrow the power of the war lords and establish a real government of the people. That is, the leaders of the right wing. They have managed to keep in control of the government in the territory they conquer. Thero is a somewhat powerful left wing, which is anti-foreign, anti-Christian and bolshevistic, which is making most of the trouble, and which occasionally gets out of hand, as it did at Hankow. The left wing is in the minority, however. The policy is, of course, not to have an open break between the two wings until they have accomplished the ends which both desire, after which the right wing hopes to establish itself in control and get about the business of unifying China. Sees Hope for China "All this is what we learn through Chinese leaders and through a few foreigners who went to Hankow an'd talked with many of the men in charge there. I am willing to believe it and to feel that probably the Nationalist movement is the most hopeful thing in China today, in spite of the unpleasant things that are bound to go along with any revolution. "What we are more afraid of than the Cantonese is the possibility of war between Britain and China at "Bhanghai.

termined not to break with China. The American policy seems to vary from day to day, so we don’t quite know what It is, but unless our Government should do something unusually stupid it seems to me it would be as hard to convince many of the Chinese that we aren't theii friends as it would be to convince them that Britain is friendly! There might be general anti-foreign propaganda, but the effort just now seems to be to concentrate it all on antiBritish. Anyway we’re hoping to stay on peacefully in Soochow. Describes City “We are quite contented here, though I can t say I like it so well as Pekin. The canal life here is the most interesting part. Traffic and business is done by water and there are some very interesting kinds of boats —as well as some fascinating methods of fishing, etc. Our biggest thrill is houseboat trips. There are rather high hills not far out of the city, and people here often take boat trips out to visit the temples there. At Christmas time we took a boat out to cut our own Christmas holly and greens. “The streets of Soochow are just as narrow and’ picturesque as we were told, and tne odors are just as odorous. There aren't so many different types of fascinating shops to tempt our pocketbook. though this is the center of the silk industry and the silk stores have many lovely things. We are near enougli Shanghai so that we can go in when we wish —and have the money—for a real spree, with all the American touches we wish, as of course Shanghai is a very foreign big city, with all kinds of foreign stores, moving pictures and paved streets. "The foreign community in Sooehow is quite small. There are twelve families around the uni-

FORTY-MILE SPEED LIMIT TO BE EFFECTIVE SOON

Forty miles an hour on the open road in Indiana will be a reasonable rate of speed soon when the acts of 1927 are published and distributed. This law, inroauced by Senator Bruce Cooper was supported by the Hoosier Motor Club and its president Duane Dungan, says the effect on the actions of motorists will be watched closely. “Better roads and better cars will give us an advantage of time over distance,” says Dungan, “if we can raise the speed limit a little.

new law raises the reasonable speed limit from thirty-five miles per hour to forty miles per hour, but tiie motorist should realize that forty miles an hour on the open road at nil times and under all conditions will not be reasonable. ‘‘Today many advocates of safety feel that sixty miles an hour on the open road with no traffic in sight and a dry hard pavement underneath is reasonable and so it may be for many careful experienced drivers. For tliat reason the Hoosier Mdtor Club advocated the progressive changes in speed during the last three years. Two years ago the speed limit was raised from twentyfive miles an hour to thirty-five miles an hour and soon we will be able to travel at forty miles an hour on the open road. “Ten or fifteen years ago motorists who made forty miles an hour on

the open road were ' ailed ‘scorchers’ and those who didn’t ‘scorch’ tried to buy better cars. Today we have better cars, four wheel brakes, better roads and better drivers. If every motorist will resolve to do bis forty at the proper time and place there will be no need to anticipate increased accidents as a result of the increased speed. "Another feature of the new law is that it defines reasonable speed for the slow drivers us well as for the fast ones. The new law takes cognizance of the fact that the slow driver, heretofore, has been the cause of mnay accidents. The slow driver or loafer on a main travelled highway causes busy motorists or drivers who have some place to go, to pass as best they can and many times, passing under such conditions has caused accidents. “The new law besides defining reasonable speeds for the slow and fast drivers, also defines reckless driving and provides adequate penalties so that a check may be placed on the driver who is careless of the rights of others.”
