It has a heating value of 400 to

“A little more than one-half of

CHINA OVERRUN
BY BANDITS OF
GREAT PROWESS
WASHINGTON.—Following the
recent capture of three American
] engineers by bandits in China, a
l census of Chinese outlaws has been
made, showing that in five provinces
there are a total of 37,000 brigands
This total does not include the band
its of Mongolia, who are very num
erous and have been extremely ac
tive this year, nor does it include
those of Honan, where the Amcri
cans were taken prisoners.
Shantung leads the five Chinese
provinves in outlaw population, hav
ing 19,000. Shensi has 7,000, Anh
wei 5.000, Hunan 3,000 and Fukier
3,000. The largest single band is ii
Shantung, under the leadership o:
Fan Yu-lin, who rules a veritabli
principality inhabited by 7, 000 per
sons. Yu Shan-hei, whose follower:
j number 6,000 is the chief rival o
Fan Yu-lin.
The daring of the brigands ii
Shantung recently became so ope
, that the Tuchen of the province
Chang Huai-chin, asked permissioi
, to resign his command as leade
of the army against the disaffeote
southern provinces and return t
! his own state to restore order. Man
of the bandits are believed to b
. disbanded soldiers of the Chan
_ Hsun, who endeavored to restore h
1 monarchy, but was defeated an
j took refuge in the Dutch legatio
^ at Pekin.

news that the government has 1
several large grading and other co

CHIHUAHUA CITY. Mexico—
The American blacklist has shat
i |
i tered one of the German plans for
the commercial conquest of Mexico.
Before the United States entered
the war and prior to the last Mexi- j
can revolution, German business or- j
; sanitations scattered throughout J
northern Mexico gave evidence .f
the German intention to exploit the
Mexican markets.
I
One German wholesale hardware
firm started to establish branches
throughout the state more than 40
years ago, and at the outbreak of
the revolutions, had branches in op
: eration in Juarez, Casas Grandes,
Santa Rosalia, Ojinaga and other
places with a parent store here.
While these houses were con
’ ducted on business lines, it is con
sidered as a significent fact that all
1 the German consuls and vice con
1 suls for this part of Mexico were
1 appointed from among the managers
> and assistant managers of this con
1 cern. In Juarez, Casas Grandes and
p Santa Rosalia the branch managers
* were also German vice consuls, the
5 consul in Chihuahua City also being
f; one of the managers of the parent
e store here. The vice consul in Juarez
’ was decorated by the German em
e peror for services rendered Ger
^ many on the border.
11 When the revolutions started
j these German stores were the first
e to suffer because they were well
' stocked with wagons, harness and
‘ other supplies needed by the re
volutionists. The Juarez and Casas
0 Grandes branches were looted and
burned and now only the parent
r store here remains in business.
2 What the revolutionists failed to
s do' to wreck these German stores
y the American blacklist completed at
K the beginning of America’s war
11 against Germany. Now it is almost
y impossible for the German firms +o
8 obtain supplies and Mexican buyers
fear to buy from the blacklisted
firms for fear of being placed or
this blacklist and denied the priv
ilege of importing from the Untec
States.
