SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8—The
thousand-year-old walls of Canton,
China, which withheld many an on
slaught of Tartar brigands, are being
torn down to make way for a trolley
line.
The Chinese are substituting the
American bathtub for the usual dip
in the river.
This information was brought to
this country by Lieutenant and Gen
eral Chiang Ting-Tsu of the Chinese
army who is in the United States to
i
inform the war department of the ex
tent to which China intends to operate
against Germany.
General Chiang says that the sur
vey for the road before which the
ancient Canton walls are crumbling
j has already been completed. It will
| be a belt system and will follow the
j line on which the walls are erected.

(By Associated Press)
SEATTLE, Nov. 4.—“The shortage
of hockey players is really critical,”
declared Pete Muldoon, manager of
the Seattle hockey club, in discussing
the recently decision of the Pacific
Coast Hockey association not to start
its 1917-18 season until one week after
Christmas.
“Until the men know finally wheth
er they will be taken in the Ameri
can and Canadian drafts, none of the
managers know how many players
they will have,” Muldoon continued.
| “All the managers in Seattle, Port
j land, Spokane and Vancouver, B. C.
are facing the same problem."
E. A. Bowen, former manager of {'he
hockey team of St. Paul, Minn., who
was in Seattle recently, suggested to
Muldoon that the northwest teams
look to St. Paul for players ks a num
ber of likely looking young puck
smashers are liable to be found there.

In the "Magazine of the war" edi
tion of the New York Times, under;
the caption of ‘‘Putting the Spot lights
on Celebrities,” appears the following
sketch of Gen. Richardson:
“Brigadier General Wilds P. Rich
ardson, with twenty years’ experience
in Alaska, ought to be trained to the
minute in the modern warfare work
of overcoming obstacles. General
Richardson soon will leave, if he has
not already left, his Alaskan post to
take command of a brigade of United
States regulars in the field.
This brigadier general, of Texas
birth, a graduate of West Point withJ
the class of 1884, is known through
out the army as “Dick." Through
the years and the succesive ranks he
has been “Lieutenant Dick," Captain
Dick,” and so on until now he is “Gen
eral Dick.” Richardson is one of the'
beloved men of the service.
For a score of years this soldier
has been at work in Alaska building
roads through seemingly impossible
places, briging chasms and flooded
streams, making ladderlike ways up
and over cliffs and in general winding
the way forward for civilization’s
communication with the wilds. An
ordinary wartime trench or a dugout
of whatever depth will not look an
inch deep to this man, who has look
ed from the dizzying heights into the
depths of the chasms of the “North
countree.”
I
While road building In Alaska Gen
eral Richardson kept up his line
studies. He was an active service
line officer until the government pick
ed him for its arduous Alaskan woHc.
He has been president of the govern
ment’s Alaska road commission for
half a score and perhaps more years,
keeping his place, however, in the
infantry branch all the time and re
ceiving regular promotion therein.
“Dick’’ Richardson is known for his
rare good nature, coupled with a
physical prowess which wrongdoers
always respect. .Tust before he enter
ed W’est Point and was preparing for
his entrance examination at a private
school not far from New York City
he defended single handed against a
mob a boy who, under great provoca
*ion, had committed an offenrs
against the law'. “Dick,” unafraid,
I held the mob off and won the plaudits
of a community for his undaunted',
i
bravery. The army knows him as a.
fine soldier and comrade.

- TV TEXT time your boots wear
^ out,buyapairof“Hipress”
Boots and you’ll find it will be a
long spell before you need an
other pair.
“Hipress” outwears any boot ever
made. There’s a mighty good reason,
for “Hipress” isn’t “built up” like
other boots. It’s welded into one solid
piece without a scam—so there’s no
place for it to leak—and it’s actually
made of the same extra tough rubber
that goes into Goodrich tires. Also it’s
the boot for solid comfort.
