Gale of Rex apartments, this city. Mr. Gale is a civil engineer, who re turned from Hankow last January, after having been there two yeais in the employe of the Standard Ol'. com pany In connection with the devlop ment work that corporation waa then conducting In the Interior. Hankow Is on the Tang-tso I-lang river, about 850 miles from Shanghai at the mouth of the Yang-tse. ZUver boats operate frequently, Mr. Gale says, and they could easily take the foreigners to Shanghai where eery thing Is now reported peaceful. Dr. Andrew M. Massie, formerly physician for the Standard Oil company In the interior of CRlna, passed through Portland yesterday afternoon en route from Shanghai to San Fran cisco and he told Mr. Gale that the revolution In that city died down with the fceath of President Yuan Shi Kal. That the riots' are Incited by Jap anese Is the accepted view in the orient. It la explained. It Is also said that Hankow is the only city in China today where German concessions still exist. Quite a number of Americans live in the city though the United States has no concessions there. The Hankow club is composed of Americans and Europeans and isthe largest foreign :lub In the city.
