BANNING AMERICANS.
An order in council issued by the
British government in London, of
which notice has been received at
Shanghai, requires that British sub
jects shall take the place of Ameri
cans as managing directors of
“China Companies” operating in the
Orient under British register.
This affects a large number of
business concerns conducted in the
Far East by Americans, especially
in Shanghai, which is a center of
American commercial activity. To
them the order comes with stunning
effect. It essential part reads:
“Xo person other than a British
subject resident within the limits of
this order, shall act as managing
director or in any position similar
to that of managing director, or
shall otherwise exercise general or
substantia! control of a China com
pany.”
A fine of $50 a day is imposed
by the company and every director
and manager who violates the order.
Failure to comply with it will be
considered as ground upon which
an order for winding up the com
pany may be made in court.
Meetings of the American Cham
ber of Commerce and the Ameri
can Association of China were called
to discuss the new order. Letters
were drafted and addressed to the
British Chamber of Commerce and
the British China association. The
texts of the letters were- not dis
closed, but it was stated that Brit
ish commercial interests were told
that if an attempt is made to en
force the provisions of the order,
the future relationship of Ameri
cans and British in the Orient will
be imperiled.
It was planned also at the meet
ings of the American interests to
send a cablegram of protest to the
American srtate department at Wash
ington.
Some of the largest business con
cerns in the Orient are affected by
the new order, and several of the
largest have been operating in the
Orient many years, having ■wide
spread connections and vast obliga
tions. It is held that when these
enterprises were launched it was
found that American incorporation
laws had not been drawn in a man
ner to foster commercial operations
abroad, while existing British laws
had been designed to encourage for
eign trade. This is given ordinarily
as the reason why many of these
China companies owned and oper
ated by Americans saw fit to place
themselves under British registra
tion under the ordinances of the
Crown Colony of Hongkong.
FLU IN CHINA.
The influenza epidemic in the
Hangtung district of China has
caused so many deaths that there is
a shortage of caskets and their
price has risen 400 percent in re
cent weeks.
Because of this, writes a corre
spondent of the Associated Press,
many bodies have buried in shrouds
only, a practice uncommon even
among the poorest Chinese. An
! other departure that has been forced
upon the peopie by the existing situ
ation is that feng shuit, or the
practice of geomany in connection
with funerals, by which crave sites
and times of burial and other de
! tails are determined, is being ig
, nored for the first time, for no
longer can notice be t ,ken of lucky
or unlucky days for holding funer
als. Whole households are being
[wiped out by the epidemic. i
CHURCHILL OPTIMISTIC;
SEES EARLY RECOVERY!
SUXDERLAXD, Eng.—An opti- j
mistic statement regarding the trend
of affairs in this country was made
by Winston Churchill, secretary of
state for war, in a speech here. !
Mr. Churchill said:
‘‘Our export trade is growing i
month by month in value and in
volume. Orders are flowing into al-'
most all the great industries, not |
only from the home market, but'
from overseas.
“Our expenditure is diminishing'
rapidly. The expenditure of the de
partments which I control will be
[less by the enormous sum of £400,
000,000 at the end of the year than
| it was at the end of last year. The
revenue also shows steady expan
sion.
! “We are on the high road to re
covery from the injuries and the
retardation of the war and to con
solidation of the great position won
by the prowess of our soldiers in
the field. But there is one condi
tion. We must ail work together
'during the period of reconstruc
tion.”

FAIRBANKS BOYS
LEAVE SCHOOL A1
BOARIMQUEST
Nine boy students of the Fair
j banks school wore suspended today
by the school board for acts of
vandalism committed on the school
premises. And they will not be per
mitted to resume their studies until
'they have signed a written promise
| to refrain from such conduct in the
| future.
The acts which offended the board
! included cutting of the bell rope.
I locking doors, partial destruction of
I the fire alarm system, and other of
! fenses of an equally serious charac
|ter. And to further complicate the
situation, the youthful offenders re
fused to apologize for their conduct
I or to promise to behave themselves
in future.
When all appeals by the teachers
i had failed, the boys were turned
over to the school board and were
suspended. It was thought, how
ever, that parental influence would
be brought to bear with sufficient
weight to cause the boys to return
before the close of school today,
but up to noon the mutiny was!
still on.
The boys suspended included:.
Harvey l.ozelle. Hugh Smith, James i
Lavery. Walter Courtney, Charles j
Geis. Bob Bartlett. Thomas Tonseth. J
Russell Bellerbv, and one other
whose name could not be ascer
tained.
