in
time become convinced that they
were bullied into leaving at a time
when they should have remained,
the result is apt to be unfortunate
i ven though their impression m
this connection may be incorrect,
it is pointed out. Already there is
talk of returning to mission post’
without any previons consultation
with consular authorities, though
practical considerations plus the
instructions of home mission chiefs
will prevent any general move in
this direction for a time.
It seems quite generally to be
the impression that to ask approval
of Consular or Legation authorities
for such a return would be useless.
One important missionary leader
declared this fo be his belief on
tw’o grounds: First, that as a mat-
ter of "face” the officials would
hate to reverse their recent judg-
ment in favor of evacuation, and
second, that it is the safest course
from the viewpoint of officialdom
to get the missionaries out and keep
them out.
"Meanwhile, our work goes to
pieces.” continued the spokesman,
who is connected with an import-
ant Christian university at Tsinanu.
* Chinese have talgen over our posi-
tions. and a?e. of coqrae. pleased
and proud to be allowed in places

back the work without a struggle,
and bi my case it would hardly be
worth while to try to do anything
now before tire opening of the new
term next S^btember.
“In a way It is a good thing for
the Chinese leaders to be put on
their own feet. But in most cases
they are not yet ready. The work
is suffering, and. having retreated
in such haste, we can hardly go
M die’-1 back now."

AUSTIN. June 15. -Practically
all the bills passed by the recent
special session of the Legislature,
except the big appropriation meas-
ures. were "clean up" by Governor
Moody Tuesday. He signed 8fl oi
them, vetoed four outright and cut
cut appropriations carried in two
others.
Bills signed include supplemental
school aid of 21.5OO.lXX) for the sec-
ond year only of the next biennium,
rural school aid of $1,600 000 an-
nually for the biennium, the Smith
"white primary" bill leaving to po-
litical parties the implied right to
bar negroes from primary elections
which tile State did under a law
held to be unconstitutional.
Bills vetoed Included one apply-
ing to Galveston, seeking se|>ara-
tion of local school and municijml
affairs, as no provision was made
for needed finances; two bills at-
tempting amendment of civil end
penal features of the jury selection
laws because of conflicts; a bill lib-
eralizing restrictions imposed bv a
regular session law on executions
of bonds securing county deposits,
because a new bill ivould have re-
stored the law practically to its old
status.
The $7,500 appropriation was cut
out of the Davis Mountain high-
way survey bill. beAiu.se the high-
way department already has au-
thority to make and finance such
surveys.
Fruit Fund Blue Penciled
A 22.500 annual fund for "cltnis
fruit inspection" was blue penciled
in the bill prohibiting gale of di-
seased and otherwise unacceptable
Cltrua fruit, because “no need for

clare that the "advice” of the Amer-
ican authorities amounted to an or-
der. and that they left because they
believed that they had to. against
their own best judgment.
So far as could be ascertained by
the United Press, the American
Consular and Legation authorities
did nothing technically wrong in
this connection. Some of the offic-
______ _ tel notices convey an impression of
But they can’t return to their postal command, but they are not coni-
fer a while, because of a • varietymands in fact. The record seems
of reasons, none of them agree-
able.
It seems the practically unani-
mous opinion that such danger us
may have existed, if any, does not
now exist. Everytxxly recognises
that there may be more danger in
future, but at present most of the
temporary residents of Tsingtao
feel that they would be quite safe
back at their respective jobs if they
could get there
Perhaps this view would not be
so unanimous if all the evacuated
missionaries were present to testi-
fy. Quite a number have departed
tor home. Most of these were anx-
ious to depart, according to those
still remaining. It is said that when
the American Consular warning,
advice or command—versions as to
just what happened in late March
vary- was received, some of the
missionary families got out, bag
and baggage, tn less than twelve
hours, which is construed as indi-
cating that they were "all set to
go" and had been for some time..
Accused of Panic
Opinion concerning the consular
and American Legation participa-
tion in the evacuation is. as indi-
cated, quite varied. Some feel that
the "run-out" was wholly justified,
others, with a good deal of bitter-
ness. accuse the American author-
ities of needless panic, which, they
say. has done missionary work in
Shantung irreparable harm.
