ATTACKED IN CHINA
Walter Taylor Slightly Injured
By Native Roy When Surrounded By Mob Yelling,
"Down With Foreign Devils."
RUSSIA STARTED TROUBLE
[Extracts from a letter to his parents written from Wuchang, China,
under date of June 7, 1925, by Walter
A. Taylor.]
I think that I have a real piece of
news to relate. You have been reading
about the riots in Shanghai and the
shooting of strikers and student agitators by the British Sikh police and
the American Volunteer Corps in
Shanghai.
Of course it is known the- world
over and admitted by Russia that
they have given up their program of
intensive propaganda in America and
England and have decided to concentrate on China as a fruitful field,
working on their hatred of the Japanese. So the present agitation is
•primarily against the Japanese.
lt is well known that the Soviets
are distributing large sums of money
in China, especially tp students who
will work up anti-foreign sentiment.
The news of the Shanghai incidents
reached Wuchang about Friday, the
5th, and the government school students immediately struck and started
parades and anti-foreign demonstrations and placarded the city with all
kinds of scurrilous bulletins.
Meets Howling Mob
*• I had   planned  to  go  shopping in
Hankow, Friday afternoon, and as I
left the compound going toward the
main street and the river I met Mrs.
Kemp in a ricksha being chased by a
howling mob of about 75 students who
were throwing sticks and coal-balls.
As my ricksha passed her's the crowd
got past the three policemen who were
defending her, and she rwas thrown
from the ricksha by the sudden stopping. I was just in time to help her
into the ric and she proceeded to
a ■ Boone University with her police
tf escort without further incident.
Strikes Walter With Stick
The crowd sooa, diverted their at*
tention to me, calling me "foreign
devil,'! etc., some trying to climb oyer
the back of the ric, and others throwing stones and sticks. One fellow got
a good whack at my shoulder with a
stick. I directed the ricksha man to
go on, but when we got to the main
street they stopped the ricksha. I remained seated while two English
speaking young men, probably not of
the mob, asked me if I was a Japanese. I replied I was an American
from Boone University and that I
wished to proceed to Hankow.
After five minutes of conversation
with the mediators and the one policeman present, it was decided that an
American wasn't nearly as bad as a
Japanese or a Britisher, whose Indian
policemen had shot students, and that
1 might proceed to Hankow.
During this interval there was continuous shouting and cursing and occasional stones and sticks. I managed to keefr my temper and did not
feel really scared, because I am sure
that they' still have sense enough not
to do real violence. Most of the mob
•were youngsters under 18, and they
were wildly excited and wrought up.
Nothing further happened to me
and a rainstorm at 4 o'clock dampened
their ardor, so that when I came back
at 6:30 nothing indicated further excitement. I was not hurt at all except
for a lame shoulder, a few dents in
my sun helmet and some dirt on my
■white clothes.
Bob Bundy Hurt
The some afternoon Bob Bundy
started to go to the postoffice but was
not able to go beyond the principal
street corner down town. Turning
back from there he went through a
barrage of brick-bats for a quarter
of a mile and got a cut' on his face
from one. He was not able to get
a ricksha to take him but with police
escort he got home without further
trouble.
Chinese Send Apology
By the time I got back the chief
of police had sent an apology to
Bishop Oilman, and asked that all foreigners use a police escort when they
■wanted to leave the compound. So
yesterday I went about my business
of superintending construction at St.
Joseph's school and at St. Andrew's
church with an escort of three policemen who came in fifteen minutes
after I telephoned the. police station
that I wished to go out.        !
The Governor and the police seem
to have the situation in hand now and
nothing more will happen unless there
is more violent disturbance in
Shanghai.
Students On Strike
The Students' Union threatened to
drive the Boone students out of the
compound if they would not strike, so
Boone decided to strike, and the middle school (Mr.. Kemp) announced that
summer vacation had begun and that
they should all go home. Classes in
fhe college have been suspended, but
the students here are voluntarily preparing for spring examination, and
also making speeches and spreading
propaganda as the government school
boys are doing, only using saner arguments and less radical methods, all
under the direction of Dean Wei and
with the approval of the faculty.
Where Danger Lies
I have told you all there is to tell,
as I agreed.   I really do riot think
that there is danger unless they raan-
,   age to stir up an industrial strike in

LONG PROGRAM OF MERIT
Charles Schafer, his son Eugene, A.
L. Geib and Raymond Nelius enjoyed
the four-day trip they took over the
Lincoln highway to Gettysburg, Lancaster and Harrisburg, Pa. They re-,
turned by way of the William Penn
highway.
These old towns interested the visitors, although they acknowledge they
stood in reverent awe while on the
field of Gettysburg where North and
South fought for supremacy from
July 1-3, 1862, and brave men by the
thousands laid down their lives. They
visited the wheat field, the orchard
and Little Round Top and saw the
many monuments, or markers, as they
are called, where desperate hand-to-
hand struggles took place between the
blue under General Meade and the
grey under General Robert E: Lee.
They also saw the open space over
which the Louisiana Tigers rushed on
they way to take Round Top, but were
killed in the dash, although three of
the Tigers did actually succeed in
reaching the legs of the Union troops
defending that position.
Gettysburg is a nice quiet old-
fashioned town and outwardly gives
no sign that the fiercest battle on
American soil was fought in and
around it, and that President Lincoln
delivered there an address at the dedication of the national cemetery on
November 19, 1863, that is today
known the world over.
Visited Harrisburg
In Harrisburg, the capital of
Pennsylvania, the North Canton men
saw one of the largest and most beautiful state buildings in America—the
capitol. It was built about twenty
years ago and cost millions of dollars,
but the scandal attached to the erection of that stately pile is still a
stench in the nostrils of the people
of Pennsylvania. Harrisburg is a city
of about 100,000 people and when the
legislature is in session can always
be depended upon to furnish several
sensations.
Looking Lancaster Over
Lancaster is a city of about 70,000,
and is quite a railroad center. In ap
pearance it links the past with the
present and is renowned for its hos
pitality to strangers and the high
quality of its meals. It is a great
tobacco raising county, and many fine
cigars are made there. At one time
it had opportunity to become a great
manufacturing city, but the idea did
not meet with favor and many of
the plants went to York in York
county.
Lancaster was the home of James
Buchanan, who sat in the White
House as the 15th president and was
succeeded by Abraham Lincoln. The
scenery in this section of Pennsylvania
is beautiful at this time of the year.
Many other historic spots were
passed by the North Canton travelers
and they returned home well pleased
with their long trip.

COMMUNITY
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
[By the Pastor]
The disagreeable heat on Sunday
did not affect the growing attendance
at the church service. The number
attending Sunday morning, consider
ing the season and the day, was a
delightful experience.
The character of the morning service will not be allowed to lag during
the summer. Programs will be
printed, the choir will keep up its
organization and special music will
be provided.
Di-. Elliott I. Osgood, who when he
was a student at Hiram years ago,
visited this congregation, will return
to renew his acquaintance on August 9. Dr. Osgood has been a mis
sionary in China for many years and
is at the present time serving the
United Society.
Miss Leona Roush, who has delighted the congregation on previouaocca
sions with her singing, will sing for
us on Sunday morning, July 26.
The annual picnic of the primary
and junior departments will be held
at Witwer park on Thursday afternoon, July 16. Mothers of children

The topic for the sermon next Sunday morning will be "Sitting Where
Others Sit."

PICNIC FOR  YOUNGSTERS
The annual picnic of the primary
and junior departments of the Community Christian church will be held
in Witwer park tomorrow (Thursday)
afternoon, July 16. Each person takes
one article of food to make the big
picnic dinner.
The North Canton Business Men's
Association met in the Community
Building on Monday night and listened to a discussion concerning the
proposed White Way on the Square
and streets adjacent. President Lee
T. Lewis presided.
Mr. Moser and Mr. Young, representing the Ohio Power and Light
company, came from Canton for the
purpose of explaining the advantages
of more light. Both gentlemen outlined the company's plans as they appeared in The Sun on several occasions, and as our readers are familiar
with them it is not necessary to reprint them here.
Congratulates Organization
Mr. Moser congratulated the business men on their organization and
explained that the company was negotiating with the village Council for a
new contract when the present one
expires on October 1. He stressed the
point that as this town is growing
rapidly it is the part of wisdom to
have well lighted streets.
In all 28 ornamental standards will
be erected, providing the people want
a White Way. Of this number 22 are
one-light standards, and six are two-
light standards, the six to be arranged
on the points on the Square. The installation estimate he placed at
$11,700. The company is willing to
place two two-light ornamental standards on the Square for the price of
one standard.
Wires To Stay Up
Dr. M. M. Rubrie-ht wanted to know
if the wires on the Square would come
down, and Mr. Moser replied that as
the Interurban company and the Telephone company used the poles the
wires would remain, although the
White Way wires would be buried in
cabels along the gutters.
Frank Gi-oss, Paul Stravsser, Arthur Kolp, W. J. Evans, Mr. Hartman
and others asked questions a., to cost
and time of installation arid Mr. Moser
answered that it would take at least
six weeks to put in the new system.
Dr. Rubright moved that a vote of
thanks be given Mr. Moser and Mr.
Young for their courtesy in coming
before the association. It was so
ordered.
 o	
As this is the last issue of The Sun
until August 6 we want to call attention to the festival the members of
the North Canton Merchants Baseball club are going to hold on Saturday evening, July 25, in Witwer park
to aid in financing the organization.
There will be music and the usual
fun found at such gatherings.
In the afternoon at 3:00 o'clock the
N. C. M. and the Lincoln A. C. of
Canton will meet in what promises to
be a lively contest of baseball. The
local players are striving ot give the
public a brand of ball worth seeing
and they deserve encouragement. So
a parting word before we close down
for two weeks, give the club your
patronage and take in the festival.

The building is patterned after a log

So as not to interfere with discipline or the educational features of
the camp, relatives and friends of the
Scouts are asked to make their visiting day Sunday. On that day the

the hall under the church on Sunday
night, July 19, at 7:30, when it is expected that he will give a brief account of his trip to Rome and countries he visited.

Y. P. S. Had a Good Time
On Friday evening, July 10, the
North Canton Young People's society
held a meeting at the J. L. Schneider
home, southeast of North Canton. The
earlier part of the evening was taken
up with various games and amusements, after which everyone enjoyed
a weiner frazzle and marshmallow
toast.
Here is the way the New York
World moving picture reviewer regards "The Alaskan," and what is
good enough for that critical newspaper is good enough for The Sun.
The play will be at the Community
Building  on  Friday, July  17:
If ever a novel deserved screen immortality, if ever a story was written
that was worthy of all the time and
energy and effort that was spent in
transferring it to the silver sheet*
that book and that story was "The
Alaskan," James Oliver Curwood's.
epic tale of the far north, which Herbert Brenon produced for Paramount,
as a starring vehicle for Thomas
Meighan, after an adaption by Willis
Goldbeck. The picture opened at the
Palace last night.
Calls Play "A  Masterpiece"
With such a combination of writing,
acting and directorial genius it is little wonder that "The Alaskan" is being hailed as one of the motion picture masterpieces of the year, it has
all the vital, compelling, red-blooded
drama that we have come to expect in
all of Curwood's writings; it has all of
the consummate acting for which
Meighan is noted; and it has all of the
fine finish and dash which only such
an experienced producer as Brenon
could give it.
"The Alaskan" deals with those
sturdy pioneers and hardy adventurers
who blazed a trail to the far north
in the historic gold-rush of "JS, and
with the sons of these brave men—
the second generation—who waged a
grim battle against the unscrupulous
forces who threatened to exploit the
