:HOPE TO BREAK
JAP BACKBONE
IN SHANTUNG
TSINAN, Shantung Province, China,
July 12 (by Associated Press).—While
the Shantung problem remains un
solved and the Japanese occupation of
^areas Germany formerly controlled
continues, a means to oppose the Jap
* anese has been worked out along eco
nomic lines by C’hu Ying-kaung, civil
governor of the province.
C’hu Ying-kuang, who has come to
be regarded by foreigners of the Far
East as one of China’s greatest ad
ministrative figures, has launched, the
daring project of building within Shan
tung a great system of highways to be
used by an automobile truck service
in connecting all important centers.
As a corollary, he plans to deepen and
-^improve waterways so that these roads
and streams will afford to Chinese of
the province a transportation system
that will place them on an equal foot
ing with the Japanese, who now con
trol channels of communication.
Under the direction of T’and En-lian,
a graduate of Purdue university, who
has been made director of the newly
created bureau of roads and water
ways in Shantung, active surveying
work in connection with the project
has been started out of Trinan and
present plans contemplate the build
ing of 1,600 miles of highways and
the deepening of the Hsiao Ch’ingj
river. The purpose is to weave all
important cities of the province into
^ a unified tarnsportation system.
Under existing conditions many of
these cities, as for example the port
of Chefoo, are hamstrung economical
ly by the lack of adequate transporta
tion facilities. The Chinese hope the
plan will break the backbone of
Japan’s economic domination in Shan
tung.
Governor C hu s proposed motor j
road system touches the sea at three j
points, Lung K’ou, Chefoo and Hai
Yang, and connects with the Tientsin
and Pukow railroad at a point not yet
determined. The whole road system
if made up of seven trunk highways
connected hy 10 branch highways.
A scheme of financing to carry out
the big project by which the funds
to do the work will be supplied in part
by merchants, land owners and others
i£o be benefitted and in part by the
provincial government, according to
official announcement, has received
widespread endorsement throughout
the province.

IRELAND’S ROWS
MORE AGRARIAN
THAN POLITICAL
DUBLIN, July 12 (by Associated
Press).—In several of the western
counties of Ireland, disturbances are
now more agrarian than political. The
Sinn Fein seeks to control the land
movement and prevent it getting out
of hand. It has been decided that
nobody shall be attacked or his cat
tle driven to make him sell part of his
land unless he possesses more than
500 acres. This is a very exceptional
amount for any tenant to hold so that
the agitation in future will be directed
solely against landlords and ranchers.
Proclamations have been issued in
the disturbed counties in the names of
| their parliamentary representatives
forbidding claimants to land to act in
the name of the republic. They point
out that many of the claims which
have been made are without founda
tion, and only serve to create ill feel
ing between those who ought to be
friends and comrades, which is an
other way of saying that even good
Sinn Feiners are being squeezed.
Machinery is set up for the arbitra
ment of claims, which in future are
to be sent to the registrars of district
courts set up under the authority of
the Daily Eireann. Courts on these
lines, though without the formal au
thority of the Daily Eireann, have for
some time been functioning in Gal
way and other counties. Their deci
sions have not infrequently been in
favor of the owner of the land against
the claimants.
In some cases such decisions were
defied. Thereupon the recalcitrant
parties were promptly placed under ar
rest and conveyed by Sinn Feiners to
unknown destinations. Such arrests
by Sinn Feiners, in pursuance of a
policy of endeavoring to maintain pub
lic order in property and social mat
ters, are not uncommon. Nobody
knows where the prisoners are or
what happens to them, but the arrests
tend to strengthen popular dependence
on Sinn Fein power.
The application of martial law,
which is so often talked of, is a sim
ple matter. Under the defense of the
realm act, still in force, it can be ap
plied to any extent anywhere in Ire
land. Its general application to the
whole country in all its completeness
is not contemplated. But nearly all
districts have-had it partially applied
in some form, and some districts have
had it fully applied. At the moment
it is only in partial application any
where.
In Dublin it is manifested principally
in the curfew law, which has had but
little effect on the life of the city.
But its drastic application in certain
districts is a possibility of the near
future. When applied* a couple of
years ago in Clare it feduced the
whole area to an apparent quiet, and
disturbance only became possible after
its removal. All activity was depen
dent on the permission of the military
commander, and the whole business of
buying and selling at fairs and mar
kets was controlled, and in some cases
entirely stopped. Any fresh applica
tion of martial law is likely to be of
this kind, and to be confined to par
ticular areas.
