The war in China is nothing but a t Chinese puzzle for the average news-' paper leader. The battleground is so J distant, the people involved are so' alien in character and the causes are so obscure that the conflict is dismissed with a casual feeling that whatever the outcome, it will make no difference to the inhabitants of this country, seven thousand miles distant, liut, it is never Safe to draw corttriTJ-"1 sions as to the possible effects of what seems to be a local disturbance on any part of the globe, whieh has grown so small, comparatively speaking, in the! last score of years. Many people thought, when Kurope blazed with war in UM I, that it was just a family re rap, and that the rest of the world had nothing to do with it, but in a few months, three-quarters of the peoples of the earth were involved. The recent and present hostilities in what was once the Flowery Kingduin appear to he another phase of the e vil war which has waged in do-1 ; ultory fashion for some four years. The forces involved are larger, and the employment of airplanes and other modern devices of warfare have lent the battle for Peking a dramatic aspcct which have resulted in the Tso1 .in and the Wu Pei-Fu engagement getting more than usual notice in the press dispatc lies. But as a matter of fact, it would seem that the defeat or victory of either of these two chieftains would be an inconsequential math i h. the world at large. Put. the Peking war is a manifestation and a striking exhibit of the state ol ehnos that prevails in the \a-t k public of the Orient. It is because of this significant aspect of the : mhleni that the United States is < ore than casually interested. The American nation has long posed as a friend to China. One of the outstanding undertakings of the recent Wash ington conference was to guarantee! ' Cue intfgrity of the Oriental country ' and to prevent its further despoiling j hy outside powers. As a result of the , conference, the future of China is en- ; hanced in importance in relation to the < future of this country, because new ' obligations were assumed hy the Unit- v ed States, as well as other nations, ( which hind us to take more than a j passing interest in the welfare of i China. China must he independent, and it is imperative that order replace ( chaos and anarchy.?

Kvery post office building in the country should In- owned by the government and the old system of leasing buildings should he "scrapped," declared First Assistant Postmaster (Jen-ral Bart lett today in. voicing disapproval of a system which made it necessary for the postollice department recently to lease at an annual rental of more than a million dollars a large structure for mail purposes in New York City. Mr. Bartlett said that the government could save millions if a common sense business program could be laid before congress with a fair chance of inducing that body to appropriate a sufficient sum each year for purchase instead of leasing buildings. The Postollice Department has sufficient funds to lease any building to be necessary to the proper conduct of the postal system, it was explained. but no appropriation is avail able for the purchase of a structure. Plans recently were completed pro viding that the department should yease a building in New York City for twentv vears at a rental of $25. 1)00,000. Had the department been permitted by Congress to purchase land and erect its own building, the whole transaction could have been handled for about $8,000,000, Mr. Bartlett explained, adding that at the end of the twenty-year period thj government would have possessed the buildings, whereas under the lease the government will be out $25,000,000 and have nothing to show for it at the expiration of the lease. "The whole .system is radically wrong and should be changed at once," the Assistant Postmaster General said. "Each year congress should set aside a certain sum to be used in the construction of buildings and gradually as leases expire all over the country the department would find itself the possessor of a system of splendid structures. This method would result in the saving of millions of dollars to the public. In many instances the government is made to pay exorbitant rent. For instance the the department will lease a building in a small community for ten years, and because of the postoffice site property i i its vicinity will increase in value, the population of the town may incrc >so ten-fold, and when the lease expires, the owner of the property very frequently demands about three or four tim.-s the original rental and we are < bliged to pay it or look for some other property." Mr. Bartlett said lie pposed the action of the Joint Postal Commission in recommerodinfr the lease of the New York building. The eonimission felt, however, it said, that congress would likely oppose such a move at this time and suggested that in view of congested conditions in the metropolis a lease he netfot iated. "In this instance," Mr, ]tartlett said, "the owners of the land and those who will erect the new buildinf which is to he used as an annex o the present postotliec buildinir, will >e olditred to pay taxes, borrow mon y at the rate of possibly 7 pereent, md meet other conditions which of ourse would not have to he observed y the government. The same condiion prevails throughout the United states and the sooner congress and he people realize what it is costing n dollars and cents the sooner corrective measures will he taken." v.. \muv uuiiioiiii, vuv ^?/iwvj;i<iii imv list, Nobel Prize winner, invested nost of the Nobel Prize in blooded stock and in improving bis farm in Norway.

Claims Discrimination *< Against Americans A Sofia, May 4.?American business men h ue complain that the members of the Allied Reparations Commis- J sion whah controls the Bulgarian na- j th nal budge i. and limits the country's <,* expenditures are using their official position; to further the enterprises of their country and that discrindnation is being practiced against the ? United States. The membership of ? the commission is limited now to British, French and Italians. y The complains became so emphatic A lately that Charles Wilson, American fy Minister, had to make representations to the Commission on behalf of the ! United States government. J The Bulgarian government has y shown a predilection for American A industrial concerns not only because A of their businesslike methods, favor- Jfc able prices and high quality of goods 1 but because the Bulgarians are anxions to cultivate closer relations with V America, for which Bulgarians have a V strong sentimental attachment. ? Much regret is expressed that the ? United States is not represented ?on the reparations commission, because * it is believed that an American meml.er could act as arbitrator in the V many disputes that come before the y Allied Commissioners. Two American engineering firms, X James Stewart & Company, of New t York, and MaeDonald & Company, of Chicago, have offered to construct n ' number of grain elevators, harbor \ improvements and other engineering & works throughout Bulgarian and the i government is ready to grant one or, > the other the contract, but there is ; sai<l to be some opposition from the + Reparations Commission which must ^ he overcome. V . ? Samara Free From Famine n ? . 3 Samara, Russia, May 5.?Six ~ months' concentrated effort by Am-!^ erican, other foreign and Soviet re-1 <u lief organizations has removed allj e* visible traces of famine suffering <+ from Samara itself. The villages far . in the country are desolate in ap- * pearance and the starving can be seen in almost very house in some of thein. Samara, though still far from prosperous looking, is a paradise beside the tiny communes. ^ Six months ago starving refugees J haunted the streets of Samara and lay in filthy heaps by the river bank *-> begging and praying for bread. Now \ one has to go out and hunt for the starving. A few children who whine like lost kittens that they are hungry and want bread stand with drawn faces at the windows of-"cars at the 1 railway stations. These, however, seem to be only professional beggars like those who always have haunted the churches and other promising spots for alms in these half easteiv " half European provinces. The correspondent saw only one public exhibition of starvation suffering in Samara. One man, weakened wby hunger, lay sobbing in the snow r in one of the principal streets. The people in the streets, in the | market places and the theaters look ! well fed and contented for the most <j part. It is not until one enters the t big collecting station for stray waifs 1 from the villages where there are about (500 pallid little living skeletons that one would know in Samara that famine still took its toll. Samara province, with its 2,700,000 as inhabitants, has been one of the worst hit by the famine. The suffering and 1 ^ loss of life has been ghastly. Rut i ai the widly heralded plea of last sum- d nier that so many would die thi^jjjj 1 winter that there would be none left j to harvest next summer's crops seems ft now to have been only exaggerated ft fancy. _ ^ In talks with provincial ofiiclais,. local American relief workers and V others familiar with immediate facts -c of the famine, the correspondent was lJ told that th re wr.s man power in j | plenty. The largest estimate of ac P | tual famine deaths in the province j I to dat" was ten percent of the popu (lotion or about 270 000. The American corn fer adult feedj in?r has now arrived in Samara in i suflicient quantity to relieve all the j* really needy inhabitants of the city . itself and those of the nearest vil-; ^ lams. It is still slow, however, in!' |)( arriving for the outlying districts. In another month it will have ar-j rived in quantities suflicient to feed j j 7'Jn.OOO adults. Over 500,000 chi 1 -' ^ dren and adults are already being fid by the American Relief Administration, (Quakers, English, Swedes j . and other organizations in Samara j U , province. When the American corn program is in full swing nearly half j I of the tot.nl population of the prov-j j ince will he fed from abroad. Will Give Residence To University h ! f Tokio, May 4.?Marquis T.
