May Use Boxer Indemnity to Educate the Chineee People Peking, June 28.—The bureau of revenue* reports that a recommenda tion has been received from Japan, Great Hritian, Italy, France, and Portugal, that the Boxer indemnity money, payment* upon which will be resumed thia year, might be uaed for educational purposes following the example act by the United State*. The money ha* already been remit ted In pert for this purpose by the United States, and the debt with Russia, Germany, and Austria has been cancelled so that there has been a strong movement in the other coun tries still collecting this revenue to re turn the money to China in some bene ficial way.

The bureau of revenues in speaking of the suggestion that the money should be used entirely for education al work seems to feel that there are other needs perhaps store urgent and suggest* that only one third be de voted to education, otMr tbiiu to the devel 'pment of industries, and the remaining third to the government administrative expenses particularly the Judicial departments and the fam ine relief work.

The bids were on about > par with the low prices of other lettings, according to estimates made, but the co*v?Uation oi the bid made and comparison with other bids took ho much time It wa> impossible to find the exact comparison. Accountant* and engineers of the I commission spent all of the afternoon and evening working out these bids in order to give the commission the figures on which the contracts could i be awarded Including in the letting are 20 miles ' of hard surface road from Lumbertor ; to Maxton, the longest stretch of this type of road let to contract since the highway commission took over the construction. This is one of the con necting links on the Wilmington Charlotte-Ashe ville highway. There are about SO miles of hard surfaced road and 80 miles of other type road included in the letting.

These are tha frequent question* ot tha street here and the answers are aa varied aa those who make reply. The pacification of Villa la pro claimed by the friends of Provisional I*residertt d* la Huerta a* the one bis achievement of his short administra tion in 1920. To secure the peace pact with the famous bandit it was neees *ary for the Mexican government to grant him an extensive tract of land on which his faithful followers, num bering nome 4,000, might work and prosper. There wa* a I no a transfer of considerable cash which Villa said he needed to develop his new ranches.

He haa never arrived and there i* small poa^bility that he will come. All of which has merely aerved to revive the month's old questioning— ! will Villa stand faat no matter what turmoil might arise In Mexico City? 1 If one is to believe stories of Villa'* ' heavy investment* in oil drilling out , fits and his rumored plans to rebuild i * stockyard and packing house at I Ciudad Juarrz which hi* men destroy ! < d several years ago, there is reason I to think that the Canutillo farmer is | just that and nothing more.
