Unless the Chinese renew his privileges in Mon golia, which expire by treaty this month, he threatens them with war.

That the south must enter a syste matic campaign to get a share of desir able foreign immigration to which she is Justly entitled and so' to kee'y h;r own sons at home, if she hopes 4 maintain the remarkable record of Industrial development established la ihe past few years, was the opinion unanimously fttpressed this week at the conference called to promote the a "back home" movement. This move ment, which was launched some months ago by the Carolina, Clinchfleld and Ohio railway,, has broadened la fccope until It has enlisted the co-operation of the rallroads,MndustrIal and commercial organizations and public officials throughout the whole of the vast territory lying east of the Mississ ippi and south of tfr Ohio and Poto mac, rivers. At the conference ; this week delegates were In attendance from Tennessee, Georgia. North and South Carolina, Mississippi and oth er states. The principal matter discus sed was a project for the co-operation of the various states In advertising the almost unbounded opportunities offered by the eouth for successful ag ricultural and commercial endeavor. A special effort Is to be. made to In duce Southerners who have taken up their residence In other sections to return ito their former home." Within .the nast decadfi or so thousands of Southerners have emigrated , to the Northwestern states and to western Canada. It la for the special purnose Of luring these peopfa back to their former hpmes, to show them how much th 9 South baa Imprpved In the past fifteen or ... twenty years that the "back home" movement has been or ganized. ;':' . ..
