NOTE TO CHINA DEMANDS PROTECTION Opens Avenue of Conciliation --Asks Only for Shanghai y"" . - Safety Zontffc: \ •: Washington.--The text of the American note to the Chinese war lords, made public by the State department, discloses that the United States has made a move of vital Importance in the relations of the western powers w;lth China., V In this note President Coolldge proposes that the International settlement inShanghai be eliminated fromthe tone of warlike activities on the part of the factions contending for the matstery of that Important port. If the Chinese generals should accede to this request the problem confronting the United States, Great Bri tain, and other powers in dealing with the situation In China would be greatly simpllfied. It might not be necessary to send troops in large numbers for the protection of foreigners In Shanghai. The British have already landed Indian troops at Shanghai and have dispatched 15,000 more soldiers from England. The Cantonese have refused to negotiate with Great Britain concerning the future status pf British interests in China until the British troops the h.

From administration sources it Is learned that if the Chinese generals comply with the President's request and abide by Its terms American forces now en route to China will not be landed at Shanghai. If. however, the heads of the Chinese factions reject Mr. Coolldge's proposals, the United States, Great Britain. and other powers will be com-" pelled io rush all available forces to Shanghai for the protection of their nationals". The United States note follows: The fate of the American interests In the International settlement during the course of the internecine'warfare now unhappily In progress in China Is the occasion of great anxiety to the American government. As the result of the efforts of two generations of foreigners and Chinese, this ai^a has acquired a foremost position among the great ports of the world. There are now living In the settlement nearly 4.000 Americans and probably 30,000 foreigners altogether, who have made this settlement their homes. "The arrangement for this settlement Is of long standing and made with the local authorities of China and recognized by the national government. Huge sums have been Invested by Chinese citizens and the citizens of foreign nations In municipal and harbor Improvements, In buildings and in all the paraphernalia of International trade. The settlement is the vital center of commerce that ramifies through China and extends throughout the world. "To a supreme degree the interests of the Chinese people and of the people of foreign nations require that here order shall prevail. It is the port through which passes 40 per cent of the trade In China upon which millions of Chtnese depend for their livelihood. "From the earliest days the interests of all nations in the international settlement have prospered In times of peace and have suffered when there has been strife In the region surrounding Shanghai or In the. country at large. In order at least to minimize as much as possible Injury to the persons and property of foreigners and Chinese living at this port, It has been the uniform policy of the foreign residents of the International settlement and of their governments to keep the settlement aloof from factional disturbances and, as far as this could be accomplished, rigorously to prevent it from being utilized by any faction. "The co-operatioa of the authorities in control of Kiangsu province In carrying out this policy has been asked and received and It has been remarkably successful. "In recalling these facts to the Chinese military commanders, the American government Is confident that they will lend their sincere support to the proposal now made--that the International settlement at Shanghai be excluded from the area of armed conflict so that American citizens and other foreigners may receive adequate protection. The American government will be ready, for Its part, to become a party to friendly and orderly negotiations properly instituted and conducted regarding the future status of the settlement" OVERHAULING -- Am prepared to do overhauling of au- FOlT^SALE^Cafpet--from--M;--E^--tos, tractors and other machinery, church. 15c a yard if taken as it is.

The insurance thus granted was for the greater protection of the insured and their dependents than was afforded in the compensation, independently of insurance and unconnected therewith, which was provided for death or disability resulting from personal injury, or disease contracted in the military service. "Statutory provision was made for the continuance of this war risk insurance after the termination of the war, and its conversion within a limited time into such form or forms of insurance, usually issued by life insurance companies, as the insured might request. Many veterans do xiot seem to have had knowledge of this continuing privilege, and for one reason or another have permitted their war risk insurance to lapse. Under the terms provided for the re-estiablishment of lapsed insurance, normal health conditions will permit reinstatement upon the payment of two monthly premiums; and for those whose service disabilities render them otherwise not insurable, and who are not permanently and totally disabled, provision is made for reinstatement upon payment of premiums and interes for the period of lapse. Even these payments may be temporarily waived for those whose resources do not permit immediate compliance. "The law provides that no reinstatement of war risk life insurance which has lapsed shall be made after July 2, 1927. After that date, such war risk term insurance cannot be reinstated. On or prior to that date therefore, such insurance must be reinstated and converted, at the election of the applicant, into one or more of the seven standard forms of life insurance provided by the Government. If such insurance is now in force, the insured must convert it into one of the fo us above mentioned on or before the above date.. "The potential protective value of the insurance thus provided is apparent, as affecting the future economic and domestic welfare of veterans and their dependents. Provision ii made for extended insurance, paid up values, loan values, cash surrender values, and dividend participations. No premium is charged during total permanent disability. Thousands of our national defenders" are passing on each year. All veterans of the World War should generally and fully informed of their right to procure the safe and certain protection for themselves and their dependents of the insurance afforded by the Government. Detailed information with reference to such insurance may be obtained from the Central Office of the United States Veterans' Bureau, at Washington, D. C., or from its Regional Offices located throughout the c o u n t r y . . , , "Wherefore, I Tualvin Coolidge. President of the United States, do hereby designate the period January 31 to February 7, 1927, as a time during which special effort should be made to inform all veterans of the W orld War of the right they have to reinstate lapsed war risk life insurance, and to convert it into United States Goverment life insurance; and that all such veterans may^ in some manner, be properly informed, I urge all citizens, particularly employers, the press, labor organizations, women's associations, professional groups and civic organizations and patriotic bodies, to secure full information and use such means of informing the veterans as may be most effective. In witness whereof, I have* hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. t "Done at the City of Washington,' this eleventh day of January in the year of our Lord one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States the one handled and fifty-first."
