SECOND SECTION VOL. XXVI—NO. 223 CHINA MUST HAVE FAIR PLAY Chautauqua Speaker Last Night Warns of Potential Yellow Peril Warning of a potential yellow peril, if China is not accorded fair play by the great world powers, was given last night by Dr. Ng Poon Chew, Chinese editor of San Francisco, in a Chautauqua address on "China and the Future Peace of the Pacific". While an abbreviated audience, usual when the performance is of the pervious sort attended, those who were present got something to think about for months to come. China is a sleeping giant, who is fast awakening, said the speaker. She feels the wrongs which Japan and Europe have done her. In America alone has she confidence. An entente cordiale between China and Japan is not at all impossible, the speaker hinted. The friction between China and Japan dates only from 12 or 15 years. But Japan has not abandoned her ambition of supplementing her own meagre natural resources with those of China and utilizing the stupendous man power of the 450,300,000 Chinese. If such an alliance comes about, through the wrongs inflicted by the other great powers, it will be crucial for China to lead the way.

The friction between China and Japan dates only from 12 or 15 years. But Japan has not abandoned her ambition of supplementing her own meagre natural resources with those of China and utilizing the stupendous man power of the 450,000,000 Chinese. If such an alliance comes about, through the wrongs inflicted by the other great powers, and China's military potentialities, a yellow peril well may be feared. China has been looking back over the centuries of her history and ancestors. She has not been looking forward. His own record of ancestry extends back 64 generations, he said, to a prime minister of China. The line was not sought farther back, because—who knows?—it might reach the Simians themselves. But now China is looking ahead. American autos, chewing gum, electric lighting, dress, and customs among those educated in Occidental lands, etc., are breaking the crust of age old conservatism. The address was in Dr. Chew's wittiest, but most dramatic vein. The program today and tomorrow: This afternoon, 2:20 p.m., Concert, Charles Mitchell Mixer's Orchestral Quartet.

BANDITS WILL PUT UP DESPERATE FIGHT ED.—Following is another installment of the first eye witness account of the spectacular raid by Chinese bandits upon a passenger train near Shanghai where about 150 persons, including American men, women and children, were forcibly seized. It is the first detailed and authenticated account of this foray given to the outside world. It's importance is emphasized by the fact that the attack upon foreign citizens may result in international intervention in China. By LLOYD LEHRBAS (American newspaperman who escaped from Chineo bandits; written for and copyrighted 1923 by International News Service.) SHANGHAI, May 8.—I believe the handle in whose hands rests the fate of a dozen or so Americans, as many more other foreign nationals, and probably a hundred Chinese, would make a desperate fight before they could be forced to release their captives. They are well organized and appeared able to meet any attack. The bandits are a cruel, rough lot. They are of the heavy Shantung farmer type, ragged, unkempt and wearing queues which adds to the fierceness of their appearance. They are all well armed. The foreigners in their power are bandits' flight to the mountains due to their bare feet, the roughness of the terrain and their lack of clothing. All are in night dress. Unless the captives are soon released, particularly the women and children, it is almost certain they will be sick. The bandita gave no consideration to women or children as they beat and spat upon them. But in the face of all their fright, terrible treatment, exposure and anxiety for loved ones, the American women were courageous. Mrs. Robert Allen, wife of Major Allen of the medical corps, U. S. A., Lank at this list of trees and shrubs, merely a few of many, to be planted: 60 or 70 Queen Palms, planted for the most part along the walks; 115 Irish juniper trees, 137 Pittosporum in profuse variety; five Monterey Cypress trees; 202 honey-suckles in hedges; 175 Crataegus cranulata for hedges; 13 brush cherry trees; 50 acacia trees of many kinds; 28 Lombardy poplars; 201 burning bushes, in hedges; 44 Cork oaks; 28 California live oaks; 103 Veronica imperialia, a shrub; and 80 small leaf myrtles. The last touches to the mirror pool are being given today, the big lake which is to extend across the park east and west at the north side is nearly all ready for the stone and concrete work; and the swimming and wading pool excavations and Japanese sunken gardens, likewise are completed. The mole on the north side has been seeded and the Look at this list of trees and William N. Polston is ready to cement the lake bottom. Beyond the swimming pool where the Orange Show tents are being erected will be the baseball diamond. ANAHEIM INDUSTRY ELECTS OFFICERS E. B.

'A drive for funds will be inaugurated as soon as a permit is issued by the commissioner. 'go with them, papa, I will stay with mother'. 'I was forced from the train in my night gown and in my bare feet. The robbers seemed to be in a great hurry and would give no one time to dress. "The roadbed of the railway was made of sharp clingers and my feet were badly cut as soon as I jumped down from the train steps." "I was separated from my family at once. The train had been carefully searched. Fifteen of the bandits were carrying loot in blankets swing over their shoulders. "All were armed. Two of the Chinese, burly fellows, with dark, evil faces, drove Mrs. Pinger and myself before them for three hours. They carried long barreled rifles in their hands." 'When our strength gave away, they beat us and slapped us. Finally, when we fell prostrate and were unable to move another foot, they All are in night dress. Unless the captives are soon released, particularly the women and children, it is almost certain they will be sick. The bandits gave no consideration to women or children as they beat and spat upon them. But in the face of all their fright, terrible treatment, exposure and anxiety for loved ones, the American women were courageous. Mrs. Robert Allen, wife of Major Allen of the medical corps, U. S. A., and Mrs. Pinger were released. They were taken on board a relief train, sent from Peking, and brought to Shanghai. On the train they were treated by a physician and given food for the first time in 12 hours. They were suffering from cuts and bruises and lacerated feet. After warm food and rest they were all right. Here is her graphic story told to International News Service, through me, by Mrs. Allen: "Major Allen showed resistance when the bandits broke into our compartment, but my son cried out "I was separated from my family at once. The train had been carefully searched. Fifteen of the bandits were carrying loot in blankets swinging over their shoulders. "All were armed. Two of the Chinese, burly fellows, with dark, evil faces, drove Mrs. Pinger and myself before them for three hours. They carried long barreled rifles in their hands. "When our strength gave away, they beat us and slapped us. Finally, when we fell prostrate and were unable to move another foot, they left us there with a brigand standing guard over us. "For two hours we were huddled on the ground in the cold shivering, and wondering what would be our ultimate fate. The brigand walked up and down at times swinging his rifle to keep warm. At other times he squatted down with us. "After a time a detachment of regular soldiers came up in pursuit of the brigands. They gave us blankets to wrap ourselves in and a little coarse food. They assisted us back to the railway line in or near Tien Tsin." OLIVE, CALIF. Phone Orange 418 FULLERTON, CALIF. Phone Fullerton 600 CASH FOR YOUR VALENCIA ORANGES OLIVE FRUIT CO.
