Although the Spanish war goes
merrily on, nobody outside that
country seems to have what is
currently called an “urge” to get
mixed in with it. What happen
ed along about 1917 was enough
I to satisfy all hands for some
j time. Not that those debts keej
the debtors awake at night, bui
for some reason or other every
body seems content^ for the time
being, to let the other fellow dt
his battling. Incidentally, the
World War is estimated to have
taken a toll of about 13 millior
lives, and the heart wounds, noi
yet healed, amount to at least ter
times that number. In spite oi
the fact that the League of Na
tions did not exactly make good
and although battleships still are
coming off the stocks, there is ar
unorganized but potent peace sen
timent that is likely to keep fin
gers out of pies until there has
grown up a later generation whi
NEW YORK SOCIALITE WOMAN
TELLS EXPERIENCES IN
WAR-TORN CHINA
(By The Associated Presi)
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug.25—Thi
first American refugee to react
the United Stales from the actua
scenes of war in the Orient des
cribed her experiences last nigh
in San Francisco. She is the pr<
minent New York socialite, Mrs
James B. Murphy. Mrs. Murphj
having arrived yesterdfey aboarc
the Hawaiian Clipper. She wai
in Peiping during its four daj
seige by' the Japanese and latei
escaped by chartered motor laur
ch down the Wangpoo Rivei
from Shanghai while it was being
bombed.
Mrs. Murphy said: “The actua
occupation cf Peiping was order
Jy, insofar as the Chinese wer<
concerned, once convinced thej
had to lose the city, it was a stra^
tegic retreat. The Chinese hac
no intention of docilely giving
up. That they will resist anc
fight at the most strategic time is
evidenced on all sides."
Mrs. Murphy further said that
the greatest chaos noticeable to
a traveller in China is the dis
■ ruption of communication. On
reaching Shanghai from Peiping,
she found that plane connections
to Hong Kong had been cancell
ed. Mrs. Murphy chartered a pri
vate launch to- overtake the
steamer Cumberland, bound for
the British city. She said: “On
the way down the Whangpoo, we
were repeatedly fired upon, but
there were no casualties in our
party.’’
SHANGHAI Aug. 25-A brief
1 lull about 10 a. m. yesterday in
the immediate vicinity of shell
torn Shanghai ended when Jap
anese warships anchored in the
Whangpoo river resumed their
terrific bombardment of the
Chinese 25th Division in Pootung.
The Japanese warships joined in
the shelling of Pootung,the heavy
guns firing at two minute inter
vals. The large projectiles ap
peared to be falling about one
half mile behind Pootung’s shore
• line and were apparently aimed
i at Chinese artilleTv.

Lady Astor, bom in the United
States, and back on the home
grounds, if correctly quoted, has
taken the strike situation, the
newspapers and several other
matters in hand, and straighten
ed them out in terms which are
not exactly calming, to say the
I least. It is unfortunate that she
found the old house in such dis
order, but those who live there
will try to get along somehow un
til a new Daniel from the other
side comes to judgment. Per con
, tra, it may be that we have had a
little too much to say in the past
about how those on the opposite
bank of the pond should manage
their own affairs. If the Ger
mans like Mr. Hitler, if the Ital
ians, are satisfied with the Duce,
and if the English want to pro
nounce “St. Leger” “SilLinger'’
'and “Drinkwater” “Drinkater”,
maybe we ought to let them do
! it after all. So we will call it
quits, bear no hard feelings to
ward Nancy, and send her back
to Parliament with our blessing
and with a courteous and kindly
invitation to call again when she
happens to be in our neighbor
hood.
