ful loyalty . . The native troops are
under the command of General Pan •
Kuo-kan, a Chekiang man, and Civil 1
Governor Chou, and would be very 1
apt to refuse to fight or to join (
General Chi against the Cheiang j1
leader. They are chiefly at Hang- j ■
chow, the Chekiang capital at Hu- i *
chow, where they expect to meet
Chi’s invaders, and at other points
along the railway and the border.
It is considered most likely that j 1
the first serious fighting will occur:1
near Soochow, a city fifty miles from I
Shanghai, on the Shanghai-Nan-; 1
king Railway , with a population of '
| .‘150,000, of whom 200 are foreigners,
[ including 150 Americans. Soochow is
the center of large American mis
sionary schools, hospitals and evan
gelical temples. If General Chi is (
successful in his plan to prevent
fighting along the railway, however,
the first fighting will be in the vi
cinity of I-shing, Kiangsu, where
there are only three of four foreign
ers, and Huchow, Chekiang, where
there are not more than twenty. (
Foreigner! Safe.
Foreigners in Shanghai would not
be endangered by any fighting that
| might occur unless the arsenal near
| there is bombarded and stray shells
j light in the settlement. The city is
l well able to protect itself, with a
large and well-drilled police force,
consisting of several hundred British,
Chinese and Sikh police and the
Shanghai Volunteer Corps, which is
composed of about 1,500 foreigners,
including two companies of British
infantry and one each of Americans,
Portuguese, Italians, Chinese, Jap
anese. Customs men, a machine gun
company, light artillery and several
armored tanks, as well as British
and American cavalry detachments,
which have been mobilized^ to meet
any emergency.
More than twenty American war
ships are in the United States Asiatic
fleet and within easy call, and sev
eral have already steamed to Shang
hai and anchored in the Whangpoo
River to be ready for any emergency.
Several British warships are also in
Shanghai harbor and more are at
Weihaiwei and Hongkong, where
they can be called upon in case of
need. In addition, the French, Ital
ians, and Portuguese, have several
warcraft in the vicinity, and there
are numerous Japanese war vessels
that could be used both in Chinese
waters and in Japanese ports, one qr
two days’ sailing time away.
Neither is there any danger felt
for foreigners in Nanking, the Kiang
su capital or in Hangchow, the Che
giang capital, as the issue will be
decided before the war could be car
ried to either city.
Will Disrupt Trade.
War between the two provinces
will ,however ,disrupt trade all along
the Lower Yangtze , which is the
main trade route with the interior,
and along the Grand Canal, the chief
artery to trade away from the
river. War will also demoralize the
farmers in the two provinces, which
are counted as among the richest,
agriculturally, in the country, and
interfere greatly with silk production
in the Wusih silk belt.
According to Roy Anderson ,of Pe
king, generally considered the best
informed foreigners in China on Chi
nese political questions, there is lit
tle doubt but that Marshal Chi of
Kiangsu, will emerge the victor.
“General Chi Hsieh-yuan is one of
the most brilliant of the younger
Chinese leaders,” Mr. Anderson said,
“and has an army that is better
drilled, larger, better equipped and
more loyal than General Lu’s com
mand. He is extremely progressive
and extremely well-liked by all the
people of his province, as well as
others who have come in contact

t’ith him, and will make even more
‘fiends among foreigners by his at- j
empt to keep the actual fighting,'
vhich was bound to occur sooner or
ater, from going on near any of the
cities where foreign lives or prqpcr
,y might be endangered. I think;
hat it is highlyt improbable tha j
General Lu will receive any outside i
iSsistance, while General Chi, if
lecessary , could expect assistance
Yom General Chou Yin-jen the Tu
bun of Fukien, province (which ad
nate of General Chi in the Military
oins Chekiang), who was a class
college ,as well as from other Chihli
eaders.
“The end of the war will mean
hat General Chi will be in control
)f all that portion of China along
he Lower Yangtze , all of South
China, in fact, except the Canton
irea, and will make him and Gen
M'al Wu Pei-fu, who is also a very
)right man and an extremely able j
varrior, the two yost powerful lead-!
irs in the entire country.”

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD
each day accomplishing much towards the building ot an
empire.
In' place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chickaloon
and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For further in
formation write
