CHRISTIANS LOSE
PEKINO, July 12.—American mis
sionaries and others have again be
come prominent In Peking over a mat
ter which promised seriously to af
fect not only their work but the prin
ciples for which they stood. The case
was that of a Chinese admiral and
two minor officers who were relieved
from their positions because they re
fused to take an oath, according to
the new regulations of the govern
ment, before the images in the temple
dedicated to certain war heroes. The
matter was brought by a certain Am
erican to the attention of President
Yuan Shi Kai, and it was pointed out
that this was by no means the doc
trine of religious liberty to which the
organizers of the Chinese Republic
had pledged themselves. The argu
ment in reply declared that the regu
lations were drafted with no Idea of
transgressing the rights and beliefs
of any Chinese citizens, but the num
ber of Christians being so compara
tively small throughout the nation, no
special consideration had been given
to them.
The officers were subsequently re
instated, and were permitted to take
oath In a form acceptable to Chris
tians.

PANAMA SEES
i: ' — --~ - - —
PANAMA, July 12.—During the lat
ter part of August and the early days
of September, next, several Important
changes will take place among the
higher personnel of the Panama
Canal. The resignation of Major Gen
eral George W. Goethals, U. S .A„ as
governor of the Panama Canal and his
departure from the Isthmus where he
has been in supreme command for the
last eight years, will be the begin
ning of other changes.
The most Important of these will be
the probable elevation of Lieutenant
Colonel Chester Harding, U. 8. A.,
from the head of the Department of
Maintenance and Operation, to be
governor of the Panama Canal. It has
all along been understood on the
isthmus, and this understanding has
not been contradicted by General
Goethals, that Colonel Harding would
succeed to the governorship. In fact
General Goethals has let it be known
that he obtained the detail of Colonel
Harding to the isthmus for that very
purpose.
Immediately after his resignation ns
governor and his departure from Pan
ama. General Goethals plans -to apply
for his retirement from active service
with the array. His intention is to
take a year’s vacation and then to
, engage in private engineering consul
i tation work in New York City. In
this venture he probably will be
joined by his son. Captain George R.
Goethals, U. S. A., and Sidney n.
Williamson, long a civilian engineer
on the canal work.
Before General Goethals’ departure
the detail of Captain Hugh Rodman,
TJ. 8. N„ from shore duty as Marine
Superintendent with the Panama
Canal to the command of the super
dreadnaught New York will have been
announced by the navy department.
Early thiB year Captain Rodman ap
plied to the department for a return
to sea duty on the departure of Gen
eral Goethals from Panama. His re
quest was granted and he was assured
of the command of the New York. He
probably will be succeeded by Com
mander Hutch I. Cone, tl. S. N., now
commanding the Dixie.
Commander H. V. Butler, U. S. N.,
at present captain of the port of Bal
bon. Canal Zone, probably will have
left the canal by the time most of
these changes take place. He already
has applied for detail at sea nnd un
doubtedly will be given the command
of one of the smaller navy vessels.
He probably will be succeeded by
Lieutenant Allen B. Reed, U. S. N.,
now commanding the torpedo flotilla
tender Iris of the Pacific fleet. Com
mander Butler has held his present
position since April 1, 1914.
At Cristobal, the northern terminus
of the canal. Commander Douglas E.
Dismukes, II. S. N., will be succeeded
by Lieutenant Prentiss P. Bassett, U.
S. N„ now on board the battleship
Delaware. Commander Dismukes also
has requested to be detailed to duty
at sea. Just what detail will be given
him has not been learned.
No information Is available on the
isthmus regarding the successor to
Colonel Harding as head of the De
partment of Maintenance and Opera
tion.

WAR REVIVES
CANAL TRAFFIC
IN ENGLAND
LONDON, July 12.—Thu war has
brought about a revival of canal
traffic throughout Great Britain, and
the canal companies are doing better
than they have done In many years.
This is due mainly to the congestion
of the railways and at the ports.
Practically the only limit to the
traffic available to the canal com
panies is set by the shortage of labor
and barges. Most of the younger
barge men Joined either the army or
navy early in the war, and the canals,
like the railways, are frequently com
pelled to refuse traffic because they
cannot find men to handle It.

PETROGRAD, July 12—A refugee
from Lodz who managed to pass the
German lines has given to the Outro
Kossll of Moscow an Interesting ac
I count of Lodz under German rule.
“The enemy’s organization,” he says,
"is amazing. They behave as if they
had come to stay. They have intro
I duced there already their favorite
system of police law and order and
the typical German system of hygiene.
"The outward order In the city is
i>erfect. The streets are kept elean.
Cuspidors are placed at every street
corner, and the German policemen all
wear white gloves.
“But the cost of living is appalling.
Meat has reached |1.25 a pound, Ger
man butter so-called (half-margarine)
is 90 cents a pound, eggs $3 a
dozen. Only the German potato-war
bread is sold, and that at 12 cents a
small loaf. The rate of exchange for
a mark is fixed at 76 kopecks, instead
of the normal 46 kopecks. The larger
part of the population is really suffer
ing from lack of food."
