' Nn JBI DOINGS OF THE WEEK I ' NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Secretary Kellogg States Administration Policy in China Mix-Up; i By EDWARD W. PICKARD AMERICAN lives and property In China will be jft-otected by the government of the United States so long as the Chinese authorities fall to protect them, and Admiral Williams, In command of the naval forces sent there, has broad instructions to act either alone ,or in co-operation with the forces of other powers. Our gov ernment, however, feels sincere friendship for China and looks with sympathy on. the efforts of the Chi nese to reorganize their government, and is ready to negotiate new treat ies with them as soon as conditions are right. Such, briefly. Is the administration's policy as set forth by Secretary of State Kellogg In a public statement which was cabled to China and other countries. "The government of the United States," says -the secretary, "has watched with sympathetic Interest the nationalistic awakening of China and welcomes every advance made by the Chinese people toward reorganizing their system of government. . . . "The government of the United States expects, however, that the peo ple of China and their leaders will recognize the right of American citi zens in China to protection of life and property daring the period of conflict for which they are not re sponsible. In the event that the Chi nese authorities are unable to afford such protection It is, of course, the fundamental duty of theHJnited States to protect the lives and property of Its citizens. It Is with the possible necessity for this in view that Ameri can naval forces are now In Chinese waters. "This government wishes to deal with Chlrfa In a most liberal spirit. It holds no concessions In China and has never manifested any Imperialis tic attitude toward that country. It desires, however, that Its citizens be given equal opportunity with the citi zens of the other powers to reside In China, and to-pursue their legitimate occupations without special privi leges, monopolies, dr -spheres of spe cial interest or influence." Great Britain has recognized the growth of Chinese nationalism and the necessity for revising the unequal treaties now existing, but she is de termined that the British concession tt Shanghai shall not be taken from her by fogce. Therefore 15,000 or more troops are being sent there from Eng land and India, the forces including airplanes, tank corps,, hospital ship and nurse and medical units. The flrst ? >f these troops to arrive In Shanghai were tho royal Indian Pun lab ttoops frogn. Hongkong. A thou sand Marines led the movement from England, and they were followed rap Idly hy'other detachments. The for eign concessions at Shanghai were aurroun JetTby strong barbed wire en tangle. h.>nts, all approaches were cov ered by heavy artillery and machine fns r,re)$ atoms of munitions were laid in odd warehouses and public -build!ncs were turned into barracks. ^The settlement authorities planned thd establishment of a neu tral trta f^ve miles wide about the elty. ar.q tt* Conservative lenders of the i ''daeee! nationalists Indorsed this Wen n klnjf United States Consul Ger* bi'i^a-to undertake establish B'"' ncfli a zone. They said the land rig f gfttlsh troops was likely to Pre. ipitateanti-forelgnlsm and that the f'anti : (ae were ready to agree U"t tn ,,'ce their troops nearer to obangm,, th to 25 miles In order that peace might be preserved there. A un llmous vote?79 to 0?the wri te dopted the Robinson reso tatton in4 rsing arbitration of the dispute * ii b Mexico over the right of fc Callrs; government to expropriate properties of American citizens ?cqnire^i before the Mexican consti tution of '017 went into effect TTItas I the senate Is on record as opposed to the policy of the administration, which has been In efTect that the right to confiscate those properties without compensation Is not subject to arbi tration. Should the President carry out his Implied threat to withdraw recognition of the Calles government he presumably would not be backed j up by the senate, and the house might follow the exumple of the up per chamber. Though they all voted for the reso lution, some of the senators expressed doubts of Its wisdom, among them be ing King of Ctah, Democrat, and Len root of Wisconsin, Republican. Heflln of Alabama broke loose again, advo cating the measure, attacking the Catholics and Reed of Missouri and giving the discussion a political and personal color that was not war ranted. It Is generally understood that the adoption of the resolution was brought about largely by the ex tensive campaign of propaganda car ried on by Protestant church organi zations. It Is a re-afflrmatlon of the national desire of America to settle quarrels by arbitration rather than by arms, but Its practical benefit In this particular case is doubtful. Prob ability of war with Mexico was and Is most remote, and even in Mexico the government authorities seem to think their government will not ac cept the conditions laid down by the American senate as necessary for ar bitration. What effect the senate's action may have on American politics and the next Presidential campaign Is a matter of conjecture. President Coolidge and Secretary Kellogg ap pear to have been willing that the senate should relieve them of the re sponsibility of selecting a course to be pursued by the administration in dealing with an exceedingly trouble some controversy. Insurgent Catholics In Mexico have been defeated in numerous engage ments, and now the rebels are putting forth statements seeking to enlist the sympathy of Americans and other for eigners. T T OUSE and' senate conferees agreed on a new radio bill whose passage seemed assured. It creates a radio commission of five members, one from each of five zones into which the country is divided. They are'ap pointed by the President and receive a salary of $10,000 each for the first year and $30 a day thereafter while engaged on the work of the body. The commission during its first year is given power to classify radio sta tions, prescribe the nature of the service to be rendered by each class of licensed stations and each station within any class, assign bands of fre quencies of wave length?, determine the location of classes of stations or Individual stations, regulate the kind of apparatus to be used by stations, make such regulations as It may deem necessary to prevent interference be tween stations, establish areas or zones to be served by any station, and make special regulations applicable to radio stations engaged in chain broad casting. After the first year the com mission becomes an appellate body, the Department of- Commerce assum ing original Jurisdiction Assistant secretary or THE TREASURY ANDREWS and Internal Revenue Commissioner Blair reported to the senate concern ing the activities of "under covert" agents of the prohibition unit. They admitted and partly Justified three outstanding Instances of the methods of those agencies, but disavowed the adoption of a policy of "enforcement by entrapment." The report revealed the fact that Federal Judge Frank Cooper of the Northern district of New York had suggested one entrap ment scheme to catch liquor smug glers on the Canadian border and la ter had inflicted the maximum penal ties on violators brought before him. Representatives Cellar and La Guar dla of New York Introduced resolu tions for an Investigation of Judge Cooper's action which may yet lead to his impeachment. j WHILE the army's pood will flight aviators are making their way gradually and fairly successfully down the west coast of South Amer ica, another squadron of our force has been on a similar though much less ambitious excursion into Canada. * " "lon? r\t Ano kind I : I Twelve scout planes from Selfrldge field, Michigan, flew up to Ottawa and gave a fine exhibition to admiring thousands. Thence they went to Mon treal, and from there down the SL Lawrence river and across Lake On tario to Buffalo, and back to Michi gan, passing north of Lake Erie. Ma jor Lanphler was in command of the squadron. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S nomina tion of Cyrus E. Woods of Penn sylvania to be a member of the Inter state commerce commission was re jected by the senate by a vote of 28 to 49. Confirmation was opposed by both Republicans and Democrats from West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, which states are ar rayed against Pennsylvania in a pend ing coal cargo case. A petitioner it that case Is the Pittsburgh Coal com pany with which Mr. Woods formerly was connected. He also admitted that he holds more than $200,000 Id securities of railroads and coal con cerns. The insurgent Republicans voted solidly against Mr. Woods. It was said at the White House that the President would accept the senate's action as final. BEN B. LINDSEY, founder of the Juvenile court of Denver and s national figure, was ordered ousted from the bench of that tribunal by the Colorado Supreme court, which de cided that he was defeated in the 1924 election by Royal R. Graham, who died more than a year ago. Judge Llndsey declared he would continue In office until the next general elec tion produces a qualified successor. Other authorities thought the decision left the position vacant until filled by appointment by the county board. OF THE several sensational court cases current last week, one came to a close when Rev. J. Frank Norris, militant pastor of Fort Worth, Texas, was acquitted of th? charge of murdering D. E. fhlpps friend of persons whom the mlnlstei had been attacking In sermons. The Jury accepted the theory of the de fense, that Norrls shot Chlpps because he thought the latter was abont to kill him. The verdict was expected. , Efforts to have the separation suit of "Peaches" Browning against het millionaire hnsband heard In prlvato were frustrated, so the newspaper reading public Is being regaled with the unsavory details of the married life of the New Torker and his lejilld bride. These were bad enough In all conscience last week, and worse wai predicted. The Chaplin divorce case Is for th? present a contest between the govern ment and Mrs. Chaplin for possession of the screen comedian's discovered funds, with Uncle Sam seemingly holding the winning hand. Mrs. Chap lin wants to collect the alimony al lotted her, but the government tied up the money by claims for income taxes. Charlie was allowed to post a bond and get the money he had In s New York bank, but the funds lr California remained under a lien. DATO TAHIL, a Moro chief, and several hundred followers, have been Intrenched In a fort on Snln Island for some time, defying 20C members of the Philippine constabu lary. This is not an unusual occur rence, but Is made especially Interest Ing by the fact that one of the Datu'r wives Is Princess Tarhata Klram daughter of the sultan of Sulu and not long ago a coed In the University of Illinois. She sought to dlssuadr her husband from revolting, and. fall Ing, cast In her lot with his. The constabulary commander delayed hi* attack on the rebels because he feared she would be killed and that thl* would cause a general uprising. At this writing the outcome of the affal* Is not known. LYMAN J. GAGE, secretary of thr treasury under Presidents McKIn ley and Roosevelt and for many year* a leading banker In Chicago, Is dead at his home In Point Loma, Calif., at the age of ninety. Ode of his notnbW achievements was the popularizing of the American 'war loan during thr Spanish-American war In 1808.

({?v "T EW neighbors, Eira," an \ nounced Mrs. Perkins, i. "That so? Hope we don't lose them as quick as we lid the last ones. "Maybe that was our own fault," lubmltted his wife. "They sort of perked up with their stiff city ways and It nettled me. You was down with that spell of rheumatism most pf the time and Walden was away at achool. It's lonesome and dismal to tee the place next door vacant all the while. Besides, every new family we win to stay helps the town. Let us :ry and make this new family stay." "Who are they?" inquired Mr. Per dns. "Their names Is Purtelle?father, uother, young lady. "Just match us, don't they?" sug gested Mr. Perkins. "Well, you're the moving spirit, Janet, and me and the )oy will follow the leader." Ned Perkins and his father humbly :ook heed to qqjte a lecture that eve ling. Mrs. Perkins showed that she lot only had studied out a plan as to :he treatment of their prospective letghbors, but had pursued certain ln lulrles that had resulted In the glean ng of a good deal of Information re garding them. They never lived In a country town lefore, I understand," said Mrs. Per ilns. "Mr. Purtelle has Just retired from business and his wife has worn lerself out with her social duties, fuss ng for company, I suppose That means. I'he girl Is just out of school. She Is n love with flowers, chickens, every hlng that grows and runs. They are ?eal nice people." "I don't doubt It, If you say so, fanet," observed her husband. "And :hey will be good neighbors." "You said a young lady In the fam Jy, eh?" remarked Ned thoughtfully. "Yes, and you be good to her?them, Ned," warned his "mother. "I will to her?them," pledged Ned, vlth a broad smile. "Now the city people are alow to (et acquainted with," went on Mrs. "erklns. "Don't intrude yourself. Be ileasant, but dignified. Show them all lie kindness you can. Above all, do everything in your power to set them n love with the country life. Now, Ved, do spare enough time from your ithletic8 and fishing to pay some at entlon to these good people." "Mother mine," responded Ned with lunshiny alacrity, "I'll do Just that hing, and as to the fishing?why, I'll lave this Miss?Miss?" "Miss Edna Purtelle." "Yes, Edna a member of the An tlers' club Inside of a week I" "Don't be too forward, Ned," warned lis mother. < That evening two big vans loaded vlth furniture arrived, and nearly all light long their drivers were putting lp shades, laying down rugs and get 1ng the house generally tn order. It was not until after dusk the next evening that two members of the Pur elle family, mother and daughter, ar -Ived. Ned was away fishing at the Irne, but his mother informed him of he circumstances npon his return. "The father must be detained in own on business," surmised Mr. Per-' tins, "for he did not come with them." Ned was up bright and early. lie laced around the garden, and then tearing a swish beyond the fence, man high, that separated {he two real lenres, moved toward It As he tlp oed to look over, an eager, curious 'aced girl likewise tiptoed, with tiny feet resting on the Inside stringer. 3he lifted to him a rosebud vision of leauty. ton wan peeping, I wa* peeping? >h dear!" exclaimed the little maiden ireathlessly, jumping down In confu rioo. "Then we mnat be Interested In one mother," suggested Ned. "Oh, I know," fluttered Edna, "they :ol<! me a boy lired next door. "Boy!" began Ned resentfully, and hen audaciously: "I am the boy next loor. little girl." Edna pouted charmingly. She was ducking at a rambler rose vine that ?overed the fence, reaching over It and Iropped In great fragrant clusters >?er Into the next yard. "Oh, dear," she gasped. "I mustn't lo that!" "Why notT" be Inquired. "They're your roses." "Not at all," declared Ned unblush ngty. "The law on partition fences >ut here in the country Is that Half of t belongs to each adjoining tenant ind all that hangs over it" "Then I can pick all the roses I vsnt?" "Why, certainly, and come over and let as many more from our side." "Ob, I couldn't do that without ask lnc mother," demurred Ednu. and ran Into the bouse. Ned was charmed. More than that he was smitten. He managed to be al his post In the garden Immediately aft er breakfast. He observed VMnn look Ing wlBtfully towards the cherry tree* at the back of the Perkins house. "I never saw cherries grow before," she said wistfully. "Why don't you get a basket and pick some?" he Insinuated. "In your own orchard?" "Our orchard?" "Why. yes. That strip back of you Is free to you. Lot law out In the country, you know?" Edna regarded him keenly and sus piciously. but his face was an Inno cent blank. The audacious fellow did not explain to Edna that It was a con tinuation of the Perkins lot that went around the new neighbor's domain. She went wild with delight as hs got a stepladder, help the basket and let ber pick the ripe, bursting globes In "ber orchard." In fact, up till neur ly noon they were together and Ned forgot all about his Ashing. Later that day a coop of chickens arrived. Edna cflled over the fence to know If Ned couldn't come over und get the new arrivals Into the chicken i house. This led to an Introduction to Mrs. Purtelle, who showed herself well pleased with the young man. "And when will there be some eggs? When do the chickens Iny most?" nut tered Edna. "Why?well, night times mostly," re ported Ned unflinchingly. "Then there will be some fresh eggs j for breakfast In the morning!" cried Edna delightedly. There was, notwithstanding that Ned had discovered that thjr Imported brood consisted mostly of roosters. In I the morning with a scream of wild Joy Edna discovered nearly two dozen eggs, surreptitiously placed In the nests before daylight by the obliging Ned. "Xgaln a day of rare companionship, Cupid forging the chains closer and closer as the sunny hours went by. 1 Then Edna was full of the theme of the little chicks. A "setting" was duly provided for by Ned. "And when will the lltle darlings be ripe?" Inquired the eager novice In rural wn.vs. " "Well," responded Ned slowly with cold devoted serenity, "with warm weather, by morning." "Oh, I shall be awuke at daylight!" declared the excited enthusiast. "So will I!" voted Ned, and he was. At the weird hour of midnight he had substituted a new brood of thetr own for the setting. Mr. Purtelle arrived at the end of the week. He stared hard at Edna, as she Introduced Ned, as If he were I some old-time chum. Then there was a closer acquaintance of the members of the family all around. One day the truant-pair came home consciously flustered. , "I asked her and I^ove her." Ned told Mr Purtelle promptly. "Humph I" growledlIr_ Purtelle. good naturedly enough" and what about the false pretenses of cherries, eggs and the like?" "Oh, that show* his kind disposi tion, papa r chirped Ednn.

New Silk Procegg The Department of Commerce has received u report from Berlin stating that a German Inventor has perfected a process .y which the ehltln or bony structure of lobster and crab shells can be converted into artillclal silk. According to the Inventor himself, i chltin run l<e brought Into a solution and passed through a niter press and then drawn into urllflclal silk threads which have a much greater tensile ' strength than cellulose silk. Boy Scouts Increase In the United States as well as In Knglond. the boy scout movement Is growing to enormous proportions, this time there are about 800.1)00 reg istered boy scouts In good standing in the United States. The movement ! not only Interests the boys themselves. I but it has been the means of interest- ; Ing many parents and other adults In scout activities. Of Ancient Origin Some authorities believe the origin of the term "Pig and Whistle" as art piled to coffee houses to be a corrup tion of "I'eg and Wassail." "Peg" Is from the low German "pegal," mean ing a measure of liquid capacity, such as was marked by pegs In a "peg tankard." "Wassail" Is an old expres sion of good wishes, also the liquor used for drinking healths.

' ^JL Land's End, 8outharnmost Tip of England. (Prepared by the National Geographic Society. Washington. D. C.) THE coast of England's south western penlnsuls that tapers out to Land's End Is an un friendly coast with Its heavy sea and winds and thick fogs,- and a dangerous one. Its rocks are ever ready to tear holes In the stoutest vessel; Its currents are gver ready :o drive thein on. But It Is a picturesque coast; wonderfully beautiful coast, both upon summer lays and In winter storms; a coast .vlth ninny harbors, hone too easy of entrance by renson of rocks and tides liany Impossible for any but the ?nmllest craft, hut all made as servlce lble as natural difficulties permit. There Is Pensance, the sunny pleas tre-lovlng little sea city, whence came those picturesque stage pirates that .nude tuneful our youth. The coast Is 10 more benutlful here on Mounts Bay 'ban elsewhere to cast or west; not ?o rugged or so wild as on Corn wall's northern shore, hut the curve of green cliff Is very smooth and lovely, the sun shines Warmly; the ?oses bloom; every baby ripple mur nurs a sen story; every tiny breese orlngs a legend. It Is a fascinating Ware not only for what It Is. but what t suggests.

We may follow the coast line east ward and southward to the Lizard, passing the great wireless station ipon Poldliu, or cut ncross the little aeck of land to Falmouth, a very 'sir harbor. Megavlssey. beyond. Is lut a fishing port, where pilchards sometimes become sardines; but Fowey, to which wt next come, has -onslderable past Importance and iresent pride. Polpsrro a Charming Place. Eastward from Fowey upon the ?oast. In a cleft so narrow, so Jagged, to rocky one wonders why men chose It for a home, tips Polperro. the most picturesque, the most unspoiled of Cornish fishing ports, retaining all Its ancient dignity of life and labor anfluttered by the summer villas now beginning to crowd the clllTs above It* head. Npetn Is a Mb| town bat It _. did not always depend upon fish lot a living. In the days when smugglint was a profession. If not an art. Pot perro had few rivals, and, readini old tales, one sees guile clearly whj men chose these clefts for habitations Conveniently near are coves an< caves, undlscoverable by the keenest customs officers, and boatmen conic sail In and out of these narrow rock bound harbors fearing no pursuit Let us look attentively at Polperro nt Its closely huddled bouses, built on and In and of the rock; Its roset nnd fuchsias and clematis, whlct bloom as luxuriantly as In southerr climes; for these rock clefts are shel tered from winter winds 'and warmed by the southern sun; at its little rock-bound gleaming harbor, where at high tide the boats rock lazily and ut low water a thousand silvery gulls pick up their dainty feet discreetly In the ooze; at Its steep, slippery cliffs whence one has such glorious breezy views of sea and rock and headland und of the warm sheltered valley at one's feet. ' Polperro attends to ItV own busl ness, and that does not Include cater ing to tourists. There are* always artists at Polperro. They and tb? fishermen observe each other, become friends, perhaps; bat business is not mentioned between tbero. Clovelly tills a rock deft on tht^ north Devqn shore as Polperro does * upon the. southern Cornish one, bnt there all comparisons end. Clovelly may be still an earnest Ashing village, hut her looks belle It. "The most exquisite village In England" some one called her, and site deserves the title. From the roaeh-roail where, at the top of tilt cliffs, you enter upon Clovelly'a one street, to the sea; or If yon come by boat, from the harhoi to Ilohby Drive, and the public road everything Is dainty, elegant of Its kind, groomed to Impossible perfec tion. No whitewash gleams whltei or bluer or more delicately yellow than here at Clovelly: no roses, fuchsias, clematis, nor lilies bloom In more profusion; no trees are richer and greener, no vines more luxuriant ly graceful than there. Never a bit of paper litters that one stony street, more stalrcnsc than roadway ; no speck of dust mars shining windows or spot less curtains; no noise of railroads, of trolley cars, of traffic, breaks the soft stillness of this village. Tlntagel of Arthurlean Legend. At Tlntagel more than at any place, perhaps, what v.e bring measures what we take away. Come full of the Arthurlun legend; come with Tenny son. with Hawker, with Mallory, and. In spite of "modern criticism," yon ?wllf savor nought but romance. Here are the ruins of Tlntagel about you; across the chasm the yet more formless remains of Terrabll, the twin fortresses known to the earliest Cornish earls. Roman. Saxon, Norman has built here; but It Is not for architecture or archeology that one comes here; It Is for romance. Tlntagel Is not a port Occasionally a boat comes In under the cliff with supplies for the village, but houses are few and there Is little Ashing. Port Isaac, farther down the coast U a typical Cornish port. A steep car riage road'descends to Port Isaac; and the little stone houses of the vil lage cling to the sides of the ravine as best they can. St. Ives sits by a smooth circle of^ea Into which a tongue of rocky land thrusts a bold curving head land, Inclosing an Inner harbor la the great sweep of the bay. Here by the sea dwells the "real" St Ives, close-pressed, low-crouched, stone-built to withstand the worn storms of sea and time.
