CHINESE BEGIN EX.QDUS INTO 'PROMISED LAND' Famine and War Drive Millions Into East Manchuria. Tlj fnlnyrln* s4~y by William Philip Slßsm? va written before th* rapture between Rainia an*! China and wa* rnt hr mail. Other* will follow, describing Manrburii. BT WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS ScripDs-Howard Foreirn Fditor MUKDEN, Aug. 9.—What Is likely ♦he greatest human migration in history is on. Manchuria has become the new Promised Land. It is estimated that fully 2.000.000 Chinese entered these three eastern provinces, called Manchuria, last year and it is believed these figures will be surpassed in 1929. The reason for the exodus from Shantung and Chiil provnces is clear. Flood, population, famine and ceaseless war are goading them on. Manchuria and Mongolia, with an area at least half as large as the United States, have scarcely 25,000,000 people, all told, for the Manchu rulers of China forbade the Chinese to enter this part of Asia. Curiouslyenough. the Manchus were the first to place a ban on Chinese immigration “This vast movement of people may aptly be railed the migration of the destitute." says George W. Gorman, writer for the North China Standard. “They Bre broke in Shantung, broken by flood and famine, by war and taxation and squeeze and disease by banditry and by overpopulation. After selling every piece of worldly goods they possess, these coolies on an average have less than $3.50 each. “Thus into this Manchurian Canaan the two million destitute are steaming. Many come by steamer from Tsingtao, but many more walk the incredible distance from Shantung to Mukden or even Harbin." But don't get the impression that these poor devils are bringing chaos with them. The Japanese are pretty much tn control in Manchuria and are handling the situation with their customary thoroughness. As usual the South Manchurian railway is Japans agent, in this business. Its own ships bring most, of the immigrants from Tsingtao. Its employes meet the ships at Dairen and keep the line moving. They know where coolie labor is needed. They know where farmlands are awaiting the touch of the plow. And thither thev steer the human hord° "Our American pioneer who settled the plains of western Canada and the United States endured hardships of body and spirit.” commented • Gorman, whose sympathy for the Chinese is enormous, “but compared with what these Chinese peasants are tackling it was child’s play”

DRY LEAGUE TO MEET IN WET DETROIT National Convention Will Study Liquor Problem at Close Range. Bv I'vited Press DETROIT. Aug. 9.—With “Stand by the President” as a slogan, preparations are going forward for the greatest dry meeting in history here next Jan. 15 to 19. More than 2.000 delegates and a host of visitors are expected then for the biennial rational convention of the Anti-Saloon League of America. The program committee is comprised of Bishop Thomas Nicholson. Detroit, of the Methodist church: Dr. F. Scott Mcßride, superintendent of the national league, and Ernest H. Cherrington, editor of the American Issue, organ of the Anti-Saloon League. This will be the first time the national convention has come to Michigan. “Detroit Is in. the eye of the nation,” says the Issue, “so far as the liquor situation is concerned. The determination with w r hich the criminal rum runners ply their trade in bringing liquor across the Detroit, river, the encouragement given them by a large number of prominent Detroit, citizens, the strong organizations of the coast guard and its determined attempt to break up border smuggling of liquor, all conspire to make Detroit the most interesting sector in the government's crusade for the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act. “It Is predicted great numbers of people will be attracted to the con-

vention largely in order to get firsthand information regarding the wet and dry situation at the international line.” National officers will be elected and plans formulated for the next two-year period at the convention. “Detroit will be an ideal place to meet,” said Dr. Mcßride, “as it offers an opportunity to study the border situation and the big city problem, both of which will oe given special consideration in the future program of the Anti-Saloon League.” ASK PASTOR TO STAY Congregation Will Petition Conference for Grant.

np ' Lhis year I’m keeping our old car, as a second car, instead of trading it in” MY family is large enough to need two cars. This year I’m going to keep my old car instead of trading it in on the new one. Os course trading it in would make a difference in the cost of the new one. But that’s outweighed many times by the convenience a second car will mean to us —and our old car is good for years more. "I am enlarging my garage to make room for two cars. But that’s a good investment in itself because it will increase the value of my property and make it easier to sell.” A used car is unused transportation General Motors suggests that you keep your old car when you buy anew one. More and more families are doing it each year. That is a reason why the number of two-car families has jumped from 300,000 to over 3,000,000 in ten years. Used cars have years of unused transportation in them; years of satisfactory performance. And the GMAG low-cost plan of purchase makes it easy to pay comfortably for the new car while you enjoy its use.
