CHINESE TROOPS
SLAY THOUSANDS
PART OF NORTHERN FORCES IN
MUTINY
Rebellious Soldiers Reported March
insr Back Northward From Kiangfa
After Setting Fires
!
Shanghai, June 21.?Between 10,- j
000 and 15,000 northern forccs sent i
against San Yat Sen's army in Ki?
ansrsi province mutinied at Kiangfu, .
burned portions of Kiangfu and other 1
neaiby cities and killed thousands of
the residents, according to unconfirmed
but apparently authoritative reports
from various sources at Hankow
and Xanchang. The troops were
under command of Gen. Tsai Chen
Hsun, military commander of Peking.
The rebellious soldiers are reported
marching back 1 jrthward and
ncaring Changshu Ki, a city about
100 miles north ol Kiangtu naa ou
miles north of Xanchang.
A dispatch from Hankow says the
British gunboat Cockchafer is speeding
up the Kan river toward Xanchang
to bring out the foreign residents.
The American gunboat Monocacy
is coaling at Kiukiang and will
proceed to Xanchang as soon as possible.
The American gunboats Isabel
and Quiros and the British gunboats
Bee and Foxglove are held in readiness
at Kiukiang to rush to the dis
turbed area 11 necessary to protect
nationals.
The situation at Canton is quiet
but ominous. Messages from adherents
of Sun Yat Sen's southern government
at Canton and Hong Kong
said Sun has ordered his main force
in Kiangsi to'abandon the expedition
against the north and return to Canton.
Sun, Wu Ting Fang and other
leaders of the Canton government are
rpnnrfpd to hp still aboard Chinese
warships in the neighborhood of Can- (
ton awaiting the return o* +he Kiangsi
army. If Sun persists in his determination
to regain control of Canton
from Chen Chiung Ming, who drove
him out last week, the return of these
troops may precipitate seroius fighting
for possession of the city. The
report that Sun's army is to return .
to Canton was given color tonight by,
reports from Hankow and Kia.ngsi
cities of Kiukiang and Xanchang in
dicating fighting in Kjangsi province
between the northern and southern
troops had ceased. The report that
the northern army had mutinied and
was returning northward also tended
to confirm belief that forces are re
turning to his capital.
The protest of the American consul .
at Canton against bombardment of
the city by Sun's gunboats will, it is
believed, insure cessation of his firing
on the citv.
i _
Tientsin, June 21.?Representa- ,
tives of Chang Tsao-lin, defeated war
lord of Manchuria, and Wu Pei Fu, .
his pnnnnernr. signed an armistice at i
Chan? Tao today. The negotiations
were begun last week aboard a British
warship there. '!
YOUNG EDITOR*SUCCEEDS
WITH FIRST NOVEL
That editors have training which
makes for successful authorship has
once again been proved by Hawthorne
Daniel, who has just written
his first novel, ''In the Favour of the
King," which Doubleday, Page &
Company have published.
Mr. Daniel is the youngest editor
on the staff of "World's Work."
After he left the naval academy.
at Annapolis, he traveled through the
Canadian Northwest, as well as the
Texas Panhandle before he came
East. Later he wandered to the West
Indies on a collier, toured the Grand
Banks on a fishing boat, visited Cuba
and saw service in different ports in
France during the war. Last summer
he ended along trail of adventures in
the Land of the Midnight Sun, where
he investigated north to the mouth of
the McKenzie river beyond the Arctic
circle. (
"In the Favour of the King"' is a
story of the clays of Coronado. It is
a romance of this famous adventurer
and tells the mythical legend of the
Seven Cities of Cibola.

CARRANDLOWRY
DEFEND LINCOLN
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CON
ftULKAlL VVAK
Signed Statement Says Resolution
Containing "Mass of Verbiage"
Passed in Confusion
The State.
Richmond, Va., June 23.?Abraham
Lincoln was no more the instigator
of the Confederate war than Jeffenson
Davis was responsible for uie
action of the Southern people, ac?ording
to a statement issued tonight
3ver the signatures of Gen. Julian S.
Carr of Durham, N. C., commanderin-chief
of the United Confederate
Veterans, and Gen. S. B. Howry of
Washington, commander of the Army
jf Northern Virginia, ranking- depart
ment of the veterans' orga-nization.
Denial that they had voted for the
resolutions censuring Lincoln, "passed
in some confusion," about the
;ime of adjournment of the veterans
jn Wednesday, came from the rankng
officers. General Carr and General
Howry deplored that any ill feeing
should arise because there is "no
iccesi'.ty for any temper or ill will or
mimosity to the president who felt
Viof if woe Vtic r?nfv rr> pnfoTP the
aws of the United States as he understood
them." In this statement
;hey declared that they felt that they
vere "expressing1 the sentiments of
;oo many prominent men now residng
in Richmond and in the South yet
emaining here to leave any doubt as
;o how our people generally feel
ibout the matter."
The resolution for which General
Darr and General Howry disclaim any
esponsibility was adopted Wednesday.
It was embodied in a report of
,he "Rutherford committee," which
ia3 as its aim the elimination of biasid
history textbooks from Southern
schools. The report commended a
jamnhlet written bv Col. Huerer W.
rackson of Curryville, Ga., arid pu'oished
by Miss Mildred Rutherford of
\then-3. Ga. The pamphlet with the
,itle, "The Truth of the War Conipiracy
of 1861," the report declares,
'presents the official evidence gatherid
principally from the United States
government archives, which proves
hat the Confederate war was deliberately
and personally conceived and
ts inaueuration made bv Abraham
Lincoln and that he was personally
esponsible for forcing the war upon
he South."
The report continued by stating
hat "sentiment has been so aroused
hst perverted Yankee histories will
10 longer be used to instruct our
hildren; that the young will now be
aught that the South was right; yea,
eternally and everlastingly right in
iirhting lor those principles upon
vhich our glorious countrv was founled."
General Carr and General Howry
leclare the report was adopted in
;ome confusion and that the part
vhich has aroused such a storm of
>rotcst was "in a mass of verbiage,"
vhich seemed to hold President Lin oln
responsible for the Confederate
var.
Over the signatures of General
"arr and General Howry the state.
nent follows:
"Gen. Julian S. Carr of Durham,
S'. C., commander of the United Confederate
Veterans, and Lieut. Gen.
Charles B. Howry of Washington, D.
2., commanding the department of
;he Army of Northern Virginia, stat}d
today that neither one of them
:oted for certain resolutions passed
n some confusion about the time, or
shortly before, the adjournment of
he veterans Wednesday in a mass of
.'erbiage which seemed to hold President
Lincoln responsible for the Confederate
war; that Abraham Lincoln
lad no more responsibility in bringng
on the war than Jefferson Davis
lad for the sentiment of Southern
>eople in resisting1 coercion."
Poor Excuse
''Do you keep stationery here?"'
isked a woman shopper in a department
store. i
"Please, lady," begged the man adIressed,
"don't tell the boss. I know
'm supposed to be the floor walker
)ut, honestly, I only stopped for just
i second."

j "The Organized Sunday School

I theme of the day's session yesterday j
i of the state Sunday school convention i
' being held at the University of South
, Carolina. Dr. Watson B. Duncan, .
i the well known Methodist minister
i and lecturer, addressed the morning ,
j session on the theme, "My Attitude
; Toward the International Sunday
School Association," and because of '
j the force and vigor of his remarks he
j received the closest attention of' the
i convention. ,.
"My attitude toward the Interrna:
al Sunday School association is the
' ? ? ? 1 w? tr
; same as me general aiuiuuc ui i?i,y
i church, which is that of sympathetic
cooperation," he said. "My attitude
. is the same as that of the general
! conference of my church, which is
! the only lawmaking body of our dej
nomination. There may have been
j some misunderstandings, but no true ;
j Methodist can be a sectarian bigot;

J principle of our church.
"I believe in the spirit of cooperation
for which our state Sunday
School association stands; I prize the
Christian fellowship of its officials,
and our state superintendent is the
best we have ever had. As a Methi
odist, I island with my church as a
i whole in the spirit of sympathetic coi
operation with this great movement."
: Extracts from proceedings of the
J recent general conference and cor
| respondence witn tne nign ornciais
of the church were read, substantiatI
ing the speaker's statements as to the j
official attitude of the Methodist
| church toward the cooperative Sun!
day school v^ork.
An impressive recognition service
for the county Sunday school asso
ciations was conducted near the close
! of the morning session. As the name
i of each couty was called, the county
i delegation stood and was presented
: with a banner representing the degree
l of efficiency attained in the work that |
I year. Spartanburg county received
J a front line banner, but the highest
! rank was reached by Hampton coun!
ty, with a double front line banner,
representing 40 efficiency points over
! and above the banner county requirei
ments. Seven officials of the association,
which had a total delegation
of 29 present, were called to the . lat
form and presented with the banner
by tne chairman. Kesonse was nade

MUST BE PATIENT
AT CONFERENCE
NO SPEED LIKELY AT THE
HAGUE
French Erpert Say* Experiment May
or May Not Prove
Success
The Hague, June 21.?"At Genoa,"
said M. Alphar.d, the chief
French expert at The Hague conference,
tonight, "we had a Russian political
experiment which did not f-ucceed.
Now, at The Hague ve are
going to have a technical experiment
which may or may not succeed."
The French leader, who has made a
special study of foreign property
' * ? n ?_ 1 1
noiaings in rtussia, remarseu tnat iu
the past it looked as though all counk ^
tries were divided into two groir %
concerning Russia. One group rjilted
to eome to an agreement witlfRussia
at any cost and the other at any
cost did not want to reach an agreement
with Russia.
"Now," he continued, optimistically,
"we non-Russian countries are all
in accord at least in the sense that
we wish to agree with Russia in a reasonable
manner and in such a way
that the elementary morality of the
rights of man shall be respected."
Information iji responsible quarters
tonight indicates that France and
England have not yet reached a close
working understanding on the various
technical questions to be discussed
with the Russians. Their portions
are so far apart that differences may
arise between them when the time
comes to enter into details with the
Bolsheviki. v
A pre-confer^nee lineup among the
greater powers shows France, Belgium
and Japan on one side and England
and Italy on thfc Other?the former

guarantees, the actual restoration of
confiscated property whenever possible
and fixed compensation when resf

Today's de alopments indicate distinctly
that The Hague conference
will be a game of patience. This is
mostly a conference of young men,
who are not pressingly needed elsewhere
and have been told to go slow
and sure. To keep them contented
they were told to live at Scheveningen
by the Sea and find vigor in surf
bathing and the bracing North sea
air.
