Paf Two THE EVENING HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON L (ITS 1 CIA OUTLAWS Sweeping General Inquiry By Foreign Powers Aimed o , At Activities ' SHANGHAI, Aug. 13.Plans tliat woro' set In motion in Juno by rep resentatives of foreign powers in China Included In their scope u weeping general Inquiry, aimed not only nt the age-old activitlei of bandits everywhere in China, but also at that factor so closely allied to banditry, the -maintenance by modern mandarins, all indepen dent of external authority, of large bodies of so-called troops. lowest in the social scale in . enmn, more despised than the Jowly barber or actor, the soldier through' the ages has held a de graded place, and, to the people of the nation, the terms "bandit,' and "soldier" are. synonyms.- There fore,' the solemn . enrollment a troops .of several thousands Shan tung , outlaws as a" final phase of tho recent Llncheng kidnaping af fair, after the , last contingent of eight foreign captives were set free, ' hold slight significance either tor Chinese: or foreigners in China. No one at that time doubted that the new-made; troops., could revert to type overnight;- - ' Banditry is centuries old in China and it Is only because it has de veloped serious . changes in recent years,, changes that directly involve the foreigner, that the necessity has arisen for foreign powers to act. S Perhaps no better authority could be found upon the changing phases of Chinese life in the past two de cades than M. &llden, French consul-general at Shanghai, who has spent a Quarter of a century in China, and has traveled into the most remote corners of the coim . try. , . . Today's political situation in China, says M. Wllden, Is worse than it ever has been since' the Boxer uprisings in 1800. He told of his travels twenty-five years ago in . Yunnan and southern Szechuen, places as .far from the seaboard B3 San Francisco is from New York. "In those days," said M. Wilderi, "we met .bandits and robbers, of course, but often we did not kno.r this until afterwards'. Foreigners then' Were regarded' as guests, un desirable guests perhaps, but the robbers looked ,upoh them in that light and so the lives and property of foreigners were ' sacred. ' 1 "I have spent most of my time In western China, where are real paradises for the traveler, where he may find happy days pn the road in the remote corners. On the Tibetan border, or In southern Kan bu and northern Szechuen among the aborigines, or in western Yun nan where all the queer racc3 of the enrth seem to have gathered, never did I encounter unpleasant ness. Robbers I met many, many time's, but in those days' the rob bers were of the old type who felt that the foreigner must be safe guarded. Those were the days when one's pistol always was for gotten, in a box packed on the last mule of the caravan; the days when one's escort when asked why he did not carry a gun, replied: 'As long as we are going with you w? are safe.' "Times have changed, and I Bomelimes wonder If we foreigners have not some part of the respon sibility. Proud as we are of our clvillztalon, have we not been too quick and too rendy to Impose It upon people who can quite rightly boast of their own?" It is because of the change that Consul-General Wilden speaks of ' that' foreign opinion all over China, reflected in expressions of public bodies and in cabled demands of commercial organizations, holds that foreign powers must now act or foreign businoss in China must cease.; CONVICTS DE LUXE i"H.''i"P itmi'mwH1..' .
