Ma’ny Cities Under Martial Law. Foreigners Are Un- molested SS. Chang W0 Friday. November 4.1921 We are afloat again. this time on our way from Changsha to Hankow whence we go by rail to Peking. We are now on the Hsiang river. a tribu- tary of the Yangstze. tomorrow we go through the great Tum: Ting lake and down the great river to"the Chi- cago of China" or “Wu-Han" as the three great citiesâ€"Wuchang. Hankow and Hanyangâ€"are often called. The three are grouped on the Yanktze at the mouth of the Han just as Daven- port. Moline and Rock Island are sit- uated on the Mississippi, the only ri- ver in North America which compares with the Yangtze for length and vol- ume of current. We are leaving Changsha in a con- tented frame of mind as after we came 1 on board the first letters which we have received from Highland Park since August 19, eleven weeks ago. were brought to us, having just ar- rived on the steamer from Hankow this morning. It is good to know that we are not forgotten and that all goes well at home. We are anti- cipating the letters because night be- fore last we received our first copy of "The Highland Park Press," dated lSeptember ‘22, containing our letter from Yakahoma. We are glad to know that our letters are published and that our friends are kept inform- ed of our doings. Our stay in Changsha has been in the main uneventful but we have haq an unusually good opportunity of learning about conditions in China and of observing the life of the peo- ple in a great city far removed from the beaten path of travel. We know that what we see here is the real thing and not a semiâ€"foreign article as in Shanghai fur Instance. The monotony of Changsha life is relieved by wars and rumors of wars. and we have read in the Peking and Shanghai papem which have mine to us. vivid accounts. of mutinies and l00L- ings of which we have St‘t‘ll and hvm'd nothing and which. like the the u“- cuunt of Mark T\\':1in’< death. have been greatly exaggerated. noverthu less we realize that mmethlngr i‘vsem- bllliL’ a Damurlean swmnl hangs‘ over the city and that trouble may lui'ouk iout any day. l‘imr (‘hina is in a mn- dition of nlmnst hopeless mnfusiun and turmoil and mu who is alilv in pim- dict what the vml will lw.

On the same moun- tainside is another ancient inscrip- tion cut into the rock which tells how another Emperor many years later during a great drought fasted and prayed in this same place for three days for rain upon the parched land. and how his prayer was answered and the famine relieved. It is now Saturday and we are on the bosom of the mighty Yangtze and the sun which was behind cold rain clouds yesterday is shining with almost summer heat. We have just passed Yochow where there has been so much slaughter this past summer. it is now strongly held by the North- ern troops and three trim Chinese cruisers and a destroyer are lying in the stream 06 the town. The foreign steamers have been repeatedly fired upon during the past year and this ship has suflered many casualties. but the steel plntes which protect the passengers from rifle fire are now laid upon the decks leaving an unobstructed prospect of the river, but at s moments notice they could be set up in plsce spin. they are rather grim reminders of China‘s unhappy civil war.

We neither see or hear the native passengers and have the boat practically to ourselves. The cabins are large, with single beds and the food and service are excell- ent.

Do not ab- breviate names of States, because ao, many look alike when abbreviated. Put the proper amount of postage. on your letters and wrap the parcels carefully. Avoid fancy writing. which causes post-0mm clerks and letter- carriers to stop and study, and thus lose time. Make the address plain and easily read. and always use pen and ink or typewriter and lithol. ored envelopes, so as to save the eyes of the post-ofllce clerks. Do not use envelopes of unusual aiae. The litw tle ones that are so frequently used for cards and notes at Christmas and other holiday times cause an untold amount of trouble and labor, as they will not fit our cancelling machines and must therefore be cancelled by hand. Because of their sine and ten- dency to slip out of a package. these small envelopes are more likely to be overlooked or lost. Mail your letters and packages early in the day, because this avoids overloading and delaying mail at the end of the day. 00.0.0.0...00.000.00.00... ! MI: I! . PAH m
