MRS. nOItDON' POTEAT
Mrs. Helen Carruthers Poteat,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Car
ruthers, 1350 State street, who is lo
cated with her husband at Kaifeng,
China, had the distinction of taking
part in $ benefit concert for the
American Red Cross in Che Foo, at
the American consulate. In August.
The program bore the American
flag in colors. President Wilson's
plea for the Red Cross, and the words
of the "Star Spangled Banner," be
side the order of exercises. Mrs.
Poteat, who has a sweet soprano
voice, sang "The Gypsy Trail," Gal
loway; "Mighty Lak a Rose," Nevin;
"Bandana Ballad," Homer, and "The
Nightingale," Whilpley, as well as a
duet with Kdward L. Hall, of Han
kow. Chinese juggling followed and
then the audience united in singing
the "Star Spangled Banner." -
In a letter from Donald Carruthers
telling of the concert, he says:
"There is some war excitement out
here, too. Our benefit concert for
the Red Cross netted $1,500. We
had quite an exciting time for sev
eral days discussing whether liquor
should be sold, as it is the usual
thing at the fetes here. The major
ity of the Americans were against
it, but the consul and others seemed
to think the event would not be a
success without it. We insisted if
we sang none of the proceeds of the
sale of whisky should go to the
Red Cross and we made our point.
There was no public sale of liquors
on the ground where the concert was
held. At the British fete they had
drinks and one of the Englishmen
congratulated us that we had nerve
enough to overthrow the precedent,
for he said the British were too con
servative to do it themselves.
"The country now is very unset
tledi.lt is almost as if there were
110 central government for the dif
ferent factions are quarreling for
the authority. People are about as
secure in one part of the country as
another nowadays. Foreigners are
rarely molested in China for they
seemed to have learned an unfor
gettable lesson from the Boxer days.
Have you noticed that Hoover got
his start as an engineer in China?
There are threo war ships in the
harbor now, said to favor the re
publicans of the south. They look
most peaceful anchored in the bay."
