It's to be borne in mind that tha leaders of China's factions have promised to tako good care of foreign lives and property. They refuse to neutralize any for-eign zones, but they do say the "Come And Let Us Reason Together" WASHINGTON. Feb. 19. Aroused by the danger of famous old Ford's theatre, where Abraham Lincoln was shot and fatally wounded John Wilkes Booth, being wined out by fire, a group of members of Congress have rallied to a proposal make the theatre a national shrine.

The danger of destruction by fire is increased, it is' declared, by tbe fact that thousands of small bundles of paper are stored in it by the War department. The theatre, a dingy, musty building, is usually passed up by sight-seeinsr guides who pilot tourists through stately government buildings and past magnificent homes of 'oreign envoys in the national capital. But a stream of visitors wanders into Tenth street day to gaze at the and the old house across the street in which Lincoln died. COMPLAINTS ABE MAIK Many complaints have been made by tourists who have found the building, being used as a storehouse. The plan proposed by Senator Watson.

R) of Indiana, and Rcpre-senatlve Kathhone. (R) of Illinois, is to remodel the buildings to protect it against the of fire and the ravages of age. They would make it a headquarters for veterans organizations end place in it the famous Old royd collection of Lincoln relics. Opposition has developed to the proposal to make the museum other than a Mirinc. Spokesmen for veterans tin- World war' have already inilir'iti-ri their belief that if Ihe 'building is made a veterans' headquarters it should be solely for the -of '111 and '65.

The Ol'lrovd collection, which congress purchased from Cant. Oxhorn II. is regarded by Represontative Rathbone as the 'finest in the couutry. It was purchased bv congress and now is stored in the old Veteisoii boarding house where Lincoln died. AXOTHEH COLLECTION Captain Oldroyd has obtained another collection of Civil war relics which be expects to donata to the government, llathbonc said.

"We should tako steps to preserve old Ford's theatre before sentiment passes so far that congress would allow, it to bo destroyed' and a skyscraper to take its place," said Rathbone, who originated the museum plan. "At the. present time Lincoln relics are now. at many places in the country, at the shrine in Kentucky, in Springfield, Illinois, the Congressional Library and the new Lincoln Memorial. Ford's, theatre and the Peterson house can be made a museum and shrine which will be, an inspiration to millions of Americans." PEpps Massachusetts Member Tells Fulmer This During Debate On Floor foreigners in them needn't worry.

I By CHARLES P. STEWART (Exclusive Central Press Dispatch to The Greenville WASHINGTON, Feb. 1J. Its Chines policy is a great credit to the Washington government. Even the government's severest critics in the Capitol agree to that It's true that the United States, like the other powers, has a considerable naval force in Chinesj waters, and that the Chinese don't like it.

Astonishing to relate, state department officials, who generally think that anything this country does is all right, and that anybody who objects to it is ail wrong, say they don't blame the Chinese for wanting to settle their own quarrel to suit themselves, without outside interference. We wouldn't have stood it, when we were having a civil war if, say, the state department officials of some other country had sent a fighting fleet into New York harbor, to train guns on Manhattan Island, or talked about landing marines, to protect its nationals, during the draft riots. That kind of thing will do in a small muss, but in a full sized war, like the one in China, outside interference isn't international good form and the state department 13 free to admit- it. Protecting your nationals on the high sea, which belongs to everybody, is one thing, but the foreigner who's ashore in the midst of a war in somebody else's country, must expect to take his chances. That's the state department's view of the situation in principle.

In practice, the state department's problem isn't so simple. It has public opinion to reckon with. Suppose, before the United States entered the World war, The republicans announced this policy when the revolution first broke out in China, around 1911-12. This wasn't any Boxer uprising, they stated. The Boxers were a lot of ignorant fanatics.

They (the republicans) were enlightened lib. erty lovers and their leaders, at any rate, were largely men of western education as civilized as anybody. So the republicans said. And they made good. From a good bit of personal experience in their fighting areas about the year 1912.

I will state that they were more considerate of foreigners than somo of the World war leaders a few years later. It's a policy that has been stuck to ever since. There may have been a little rough work by Irresponsible bandits tnd hoodlums, but not by the regularly enrolled military forces. So when the Chinese pledge their word not to mistreat foreigners, they've given proofs that It's Americans in Paris had been killed' by a shot from Germany's 73-mile gun or some American residents of London had had their a promise not to be sneezed at. WHILE Greenville real estate for the past two years has moved rather slow, due largely to crop conditions, there is every indication that the turning point is behind us.

And instead of a buyers' market, as has been the case, many people will soon be trying to buy the real estate that they have been treating with more or less indifference. The logic of the matter is this, as you will agree: That a progressive city like Greenville is simply bound to grow; and growth means enhancement in value, especially of permanently improved, close-in property. Certainly the time to buy is when the other fellow wants to sell. That condition still exists, but not to as great an extent as before and our prediction is that you will soon see considerable activity which will create the higher prices that really should exist now, Judging by the inquiries and sales that have been made in past six weeks, homeseekers are beginning to realize the unusual desirability of Alta Vista. Seven lots have been sold in Alta Vista in this six weeks and plans for several homes are being perfected by architects.

At this rate, lots in Alta Vista will become scarce in just a few months. Comparison of Alta Vista with other residential sections is bringing about the realization that Alta Vista is the HOMESITE IDEAL. It 13 interesting to study it from every angle as a Homesite and its desirability increases with your serious consideration. A FEW of its advantages are these: Its location, high above the city, far removed from smoke and dust. Affording a beautiful view of mountains and surrounding country and yet surrounded on every side by homes of culture an established, highly desirable community.

Near new city park, schools and churches. Accessibility One of the greatest joys of home ownership consists of driving your visitors through a prominent street to your home and Crescent Avenue, the most popular street in the city, is the main approach to your home in Alta Vista. Besides you have two other routes into the city, both of which are being improved, one of which comes through the new city park and will be a direct and beautiful drive, or an easy walk if you prefer it. The natural beauty of Alta Vista is exceptional; lots of every shape are available. If you want trees, you can have them wonderful trees too.

In fact, every possible kind of lot may be found in Alta Vista. The rich chocolate soil which has been carefully nurtured for years will give rapid growth to gardens, lawns and shrubbery. To this natural beauty has been added improvements that are PERMANENT; the driveways are of concrete, as are the nice, wide smooth sidewalks. City water, gas and sewer underlaid. And as Alta Vista is within the city limits you have all the benefits of the city, such as police protection, fire protection, garbage service, street cleaning and service of the sanitary department.

A request by Representative Ful-iiir nemocrat.

The note named the friends he wished to be his pall bearers and the hymn he wished sung at the funeral. Another high school student yesterday embarked on "adventure" after writing a long letter which told of his dreams of becoming a playwright. The boy was George W. Cannon, 14, of Davenport Iowa. Like Howard Fisher, 23, a college student of Sioux City; he chose to die by gas.

Three young men students died by their own hand in different parts of the country yesterday and the suicide toll of youthful lives since the first of the year rose to 11.

A. resolution or tnat state ucucrai ao-sernblv Was objected to by Representative Underbill, Republican, Massachusetts.

When Fulmer Insisted, the Massachusetts member said he usually put resolutions deceived by him in the waste basket, adding that space in the back of the record Is reserved to acknowledgement of receipt of petitions and memorials. Representative Burtness, Republican, North Dakota, then made a similar request. "1 assume the gentleman from Massachusetts being on his feet," he said "desires to object to this also. I want to ask Him if he wants to take the position here of denying a sovereign people of our respective states from using the right granted to. them by the constitution to petition congress." Underhill replied that he had been chairman of the federal relations committee in the Massachusetts legislature for three years and during that time the legislature "never sent a petition to congress because they knew, how much effect it bad on congress or how little effect." He then objected, but Fulmer later took the floor and read his state's resolution into the record.

Both resolutions urged passage of the farm relief legislation.
