Washington. April (!.—Political at tention was focused today on a |mll being taken by the Baltimore Sun j of Southern editors on the candidacy ! of Gov. Smith of New York for the ; Democratic nomination for president, shows no strong tide against him there, i though, of course, his weaknesses are , recognized. In Virginia, North and South Caro- j lina and Tennessee, editors have either j stated that Gov. Smith is their person- | al choice as candidate or else have i held to the traditional opinion that the Governor's religion and his stand | on the wet and dry issue will make | him unavailable to the South. It is regarded as singular that near- I ly all the editors who have responded have commented that no matter wheth- j er or not they would oppose Gov. j Smith for the nomination their States | would run true to form, and return Democratic- electors in November of 1928. One of the weaknesses of the Smith j boom, according to his political ene- j mies has been the fact that if nomi- j nated he might lose some of the States of the solid South and permit, a Re- j publican candidate to roll up an enor- | . mous majority. Foes of the Governor's candidacy are beginning to awaken to the possibility i that dry and church elements may not be so strong in some of the Southern States as they have been represented and it is understood here that quiet organization work lias been going on to keep them intact. No actual movement for a Smith delegation has been started in any Southern States though there is al ready compromise talk in Texas on the part of the friends of Gov. Moody and some indications have been seen that Louisiana may have a fight for Smith delegates with the aid of one powerful newspaper. In fact, this season of the year has been murked by the slackening of the fight against Smith and by the merely * cusual results obtained by some of 1 his bitter critics, including former Secretary of the Navy Daniels, who insisted that the Democratic nominee must be a dry, although he reserved I comment on the religious questiou. j Observers have been commenting on I the lack of activity in the camp of the anti-Smith forces. Wheras at this season in the preconvention campaign of 1924, William G. McAdoo was far out in front and leaders were declaring for him left and right, it is noticed they are extremely cautious about the matter now, and even the close .friends of the former Secretary of the Treas ury are not assured of his plans with regard to the spring and summer cam paigns of this year. I Every one here admits that the “breaks” of public sentiment have been with Gov. Smith. Only this week I Senator Borah of Idaho, in whom ; many Democrats as well as Republi cans hare confidence, said he believed 1 the Governor, if elected President, would enforce the prohibition law. Os cofirse he put a sting in his statement by saying he thought President Cool idge might be a candidate again in 1928 and 'by indicating his own lack of opposition to the President When former Postmaster-General Burleson and former Attorney-General Gregory declared in Texas for Gov. Smith it was strongly asserted that the solid McAdoo line, had ben broken and commentators quite generally agreed that even though Burleson and Gregory did not command the State politically, their influence nationally would be powerful. Gov. Bmith has promised an answer to a prominent inquirer of his stand on the relation of the church and State and this *ill he awaited with THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE iho greatest interest. It is acknowl edged here that if the Governor can, : ns it is confidently expected he will do! i reconcile his political oath and itis j religious beliefs, it will be a ten-strike j for him will win over many who are now on the doubtful bench. So far as known this will he the first | time a prominent candidate for the has expressed his views on I the relation between the United States I Government and the Catholic Church, (though it is pointed out by Smith men that such an eminent churchman as i the late Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore jsaid firmly than any Catholic elected President would owe his first duty unquestionably to his country.

C., April s.—The I present service of United States tna | tines in China is not the first time j that Unde Sam's "devil dogs" have I distinguished themeslves in that count i try. When the Boxer troubles began j iu 19(h) marines were sent immediately Ito the legations in Peking. The.Amif'- j ican force was a small one of some | <>o men and officers, but it performed | herculean duties in keeping the Clii | nese fanatics from slaughtering thp i diplomatic officials and those under j their protection. I Then a march was started for the ! relief of the city under Admiral Sey- I mour of the British navy. It was a | failure because the force was too I small. In that march American ma rine*; and sailors under Captain Md- Calla did splendid work, for they went equipped for rough service, and tine extra rations they took along came in handy to share with the soldiers of other nations. Another relief force-was started fojr Peking and the American and Japa nese soldiers were in the forefront. They showed their superiority to the others for general inarching. At Tient sin there was much fighting, and t.lie taking of that city cost the lives t)f a number of Americans, among them members of the marine corps. The trail at Peking was taken up and after a lot of hard battling the gates were reached and the walls stormed, Americans nnd Japanese leading the way. It was n welcome sight to the besieged residents to see the flags of the nations, and among them the stars and stripes, flying to the breeze. Some of the regiments of the regular army of the United States participated ill this march and they shared with the marines in tile glory of the rescue. China’s First War With England. London. April s.—China’s first war with England occurred in 1839, when the Chinese government attempted jto stop the importaution of opium infto the country by the East India Com pany. The opium trade had grown from 4.100 chests in 1796 to 30,000 chests iu 1837 and was, therefore, a most important source of revenue to the British company. Early in 1839 the emperor gent ja commissioner to Canton to put a defi nite stop to he opium traffic. The peremptory instructions given the com missioner were “to cut off the fountain of evil, and if necessary to sink t|e British ships and to break their cal drons, since the only thought on the emperor’s part was to do away with opinm forever.” The emperor himself was a reformed opium eater and he had lost three sons by the vice. Within a week of the commission er’s arrival at Canton he issued an edict Wherein he stigmatized the for eigners as a heartless people who thought only of trade and of making their way by stealth into the Flowery Kingdom, whereas the laws of Eng land, he asserted, prohibited the smok ing -of opium in their own country, A demand was made to surrender *to him all stores of opium within three h.
