The most precarious situation
for foreigners at present in China
appears to be at Hankow, the seat
of the radical Cantonese govern

There may be a good reason for
"liquor wars" in middle west
cities, it was averred by (Arthur
Foster of the land settlement com
mittee of the state chamber' of
commerce, in an address at the
Salem chamber ortommerce lunch
eon Monday noon. . The water In
most of them is so' bad that; people
cannot be blamed' for "fighting for
something else to drink."
Seriously; Foster 'declared that
the - water? In Salem . as wells
other northwest cities. Is a nectar
of the gods compared to than in the
Mississippi valley; and the people
there are, already, so well "sold"
on the northwest v that thousands
of them would move here if they
were financiallyTable. "Agricultural

"Our sole business in relation
to the conflict and confusion now
obtaining in China," Mr. , Borah
declared, "is to give refuge to our
nationals ancl jto bring them out
of danger. It Is to be hoped that
no circumstances or conditions
will draw us away from this
policy. ' t '
"Powerful Influences would
bring about a wholly different
policy. The old discredited 'gun
