WASHINGTON Delayed reports
of the massacre of 200,000 Chinese
by Moslems hold no surprise for
those familiar with the problems
threatening Knnsu Province, China.
Of the 14,000,000 adherents of Islam
in China, about 2,000,000 live in
Kansu. Two distinct colonics of
provthem share the big seml-arl- d
ince on the edge of the Gobi Desert and make up a third of Its population.
One Mohammedan colony came
cast out of Turkestan at an early
but unknown date, says the National
Geographic Society. The second
moved Into the loess hills of Kansu
about 600 years ago. The tiny Moslem thorns In China's ribs have
grown into an Irritating wedge. So
strong arc the colonies that they
challenged the Chinese government
about 1070 in a bloody rebellion that
nearly severed Chinese Turkestan
from the empire. But ruthlessness
was met with ruthlessness and the
Moslem remnant escaping the
ssacre
resumed the old states.
In Separate Quarters
Their position has been that of a
suppressed race. Moslems in Kansu
have been compelled to live In separate quarters. Denied even the
safety of the city walls, the Moslems
built their own suburbs outside. Ex
pulsion proved to be their salvation
during the succession of wars and
raids which, since 1912, have laid
waste the Buddhist Chinese quartern within the barricades.
Chaos
even gave the Moslems brief control of the provincial government.
In appearance, Moslem Chinese
are little or no different from other
Chinese.
Their habit of taking
Chinese wives has diluted pioneer
blood until the distinguishing hazel
eyes and reddish hajr of the desert
ancestors are rarely seen. The Moslems have adopted the Chinese
language, although they cling to the
Arabic Koran for religious and moral guidance. They have adapted
their mosques to Chinese styles of
architecture.
Their normal loyalty
to the Chinese government prompted the republican leaders to honor
them with the fifth stripe in the
new flag. Yet they have clung to
their Islamic faith, which makes
them look uon Buddhists as "unclean."
Travelers in Kansu recognize the
Chinese Moslems by the white wool
seml-fe- z
caps that they usually
wearr Travelers also have reported
the signs of approaching conflict,
and for at least seven years? have
predicted the present massacre.
The massacre heaps new sorrows

Against Insect Pests
in West

TONOPAH",

The humble
horned toad, whose chief claim to
fame has been its indifference to
physical environment, is overcoming
his stupid philosophy. From now
on he is going to catch earwigs.
The earwig Is not manufactured

wetaol shdr cmfw cmf
it grows. It looks like a cockroach. In some parts of Europe It
Is a serious crop pest. In America
it Is mostly a household pest.
However, many earwigs have gone
West and in keeping with the spirit
of the open spaces have taken to
outdoor existence. They have mo
lested vegetable and flower gardens
and even some fruits. Near Seattle, Wash., they are described as a
menace.
Now the earwig has to reckon
with the horned toad. One of the
little creatures, a pet, escaped Into
the streets of Seattle recently and
displayed a voracious appetite for
earwigs. That inspired an idea, and
more horned toads were brought to
Seattle. All ate earwigs. Since then
desert dwellers of southern Nevada
have been flooded with orders for
the lizard-lik- e
toads.

on Kansu, the land of desolation.
Nature and man have broken Kansu
on the wheel again and again. Nature sends floods down the Yellow
River, and droughts to spread the
famine. Man has made official and
unofficial war, year In and year out.
The earthquake of 1921 equaled the
present massacre in destruction of
human life.
Another earthquake
last year took terrible toll.
No Chinese province shows more
scars, yet some call Kansu "the best
white man's province In all China."
Mosquitoes cannot stand the altitude, which also tempers the summer heat. The sojl Is as rich as
Illinois corn land. With sufficient
water it grows such a demanding
crop as tobacco. Throughout China,
tobacco is famous.
