SAYS AMERICA'S j DAY IN FAR EAST JUST BEGINNING Golden Field For F. S. Mcr-i chants Lies Across the Pa- j cific, I)r. Mullowney Says Philadelphia, - Aug. 4.—A new I sidelight into the complicated East ern situation was brought to light | to-day in an interview by Dr. John ' J. Mullowney, formerly attached to the State Health Department, at I Harrisburg, who has been working) in China with the Chinese Ited Cross, j He has come home recently, en-j thused with the prospect of our i future trade with China, which totals nearly one billion of dollars each twelve months. Dr. Mullowney be lieves that America's day in the far East is only beginning and that across the Pacific lies the golden field of opportunity for the Ameri can merchant. One of the points he insists upon ) is that we should prevent exploit-j ation and we should insist that China j should not be made the dumping] ground for booze and narcotics that America is trying to rid herself of'' at the present time. "China looks to America not only for protection from the greed and ' ambitions of other nations, but also I for leadership and for commercial I fellowship and co-operation.

Selecting Grand Jury to Hear Cases of Men Arrested in Race Riots By Associated Press. Cliicago, Aug. 4. —After the calm est night in the "Black Belt" for more than a week the work was begun to-day of selecting a grand I jury before which will come the cases of white men and negroes ac cused of participation in the race riots which caused the death of twenty negroes and thirteen whites and the injury of hundreds. The coroner has tixed the num ber of dead at thirty-three and the City Health Commissioner has found that 306 people injured in the riots were treated in hospitals. He expressed the opinion, however, thnt perhaps 400 or more who were injured in the riots never reported at hospitals and consequently the total number of injured will never be known officially. The State troops had little to do during the night in the riot zone, but much excitement was caused early to-day by persistent reports telephoned into headquarters of the Second Regiment, that a crowd of 500 men was gathering at South Ashland avenue and West Fifty ninth street. When a company of troops reached the scene the crowd had vanished and the soldiers re turned to headquarters. U. S. May Get British West Indies, Says Paper London. Aug. 4.

PRINCE HENRY BLAMES ALLIES ~ Says England Plotted Ger many's Commercial Downfall By Associated Press. j| Copenhagen, Aug. 4.—The former Prince Henry of Prussia in a letter to King George, published by the Hamburger Nachrichten, says the truth about the war may be had from the Allies' statesmen and he suggests that if the former German Emperor is placed on trial the statesmen also appear. The letter asks King George "m the name of justice and his own in terests" to desist from demanding the extradition and trial of the for- • mer German ruler. The letter, which is signed "Your Humble Cousin Henry," charges that Eng- y land plotted Germany's commercial downfall. . 'f The letter says: "Germany and her brave people have been hit se verely but they are not yet dead. The German spirit which now seems dead still lives and will ono day awaken to full consciousness of the, disgrace and shame which have Keen inflicted and will one day demand a reckoning."
