mand tor withdrawal of foreign

pected here to await a report from

reoprtcd that the order to fire was
given tbe police after the demon
strating students had become "a
threatening mob, assaulting two
foreign police constables and
threatening tho livee ol foreign
ers" So Ear as known the Washing
ton government liae received noth
ing official which challenges tbe
accuracy of this report.
The action ol the commander of
the American gunboat Pampanga
in returning promptly the fire di
rected at his vessel while he es
corted a launch, is In lino with the
policy the Washington government
has directed its officers to follow
in similar cases In Chinese ports
and rivers during the several year,?
of continuously disturbed condi
tions in China. It has heen made
plain that such firing woild draw
the immediate return fire of Amer
ican craft regardless of what fac
tion of Chinese might be Involved.

ports that ho has not abandoned
hope of winning tiie democratic
presidential nomination in 1928.
Some of his supporters havo
urged him to try ror a scat in the
United States senate when his

young senator would have diffi
culties in remaining a national

AGAINST WAR
West Point, N. Y., June 12.
(A. P.) The American army Is
operated on a policy of prepara
tion against war, not preparation
for war," Dwight P. Davis, assist
ant secretary of war, said today
in addressing the West Point
graduating class.
"In my close Intimate con
tact with army officers," Mr.
Davis said, "I have never beard
one make a remark which could
bo construed as militaristic. The
men who have to fight do not want
war. They are strongly forpeac
to tho very limit that peace can
be maintained with honor.
"There urj those who apparent
ly believe that because a peace lov
ing citizen becomes an army offi
cer, ho Is transfomed overnight in
to a miltiarist, earnestly desiring
war. xnere is no dancer of mili
tarism in this country, certainly
not among the military men."

"Pipe"' tobacco
in every sense of the word
From start to finish Granger Rough
Cut is made for pipes I
In the first place, it's made solely of
ripe old Burley, the finest pipe tobacco
that grows. Then it's cut for pipes ( rough
cut) to make it smoke slow and cool.
But most important of all it is
mellowed by the famous Wellman
method, a secret process which makes
Granger just about the smoothest
smoking, best-tasting tobacco you ever
put in your pipe.
