After two years' leave, most of which was spent on Vancouver Island, J. E. Hartshorn has returned to China again. Leaving the island in December of last year, Mr. and Mrs. Hartshorn came East, stopping off at Los Angeles, Tucson, New Orleans, and Washington. After a month in New York city and two weeks in Bermuda, they made a short visit to Hanover, and then returned to Seattle, where they sailed for China at the end of March. On his return, Hartshorn was appointed commissioner of customs at Chefoo, a northern port near Tientsin. He writes that they have had their share of political changes there. When he arrived, Chefoo was still under the Northern government, but soon after it went over to the South, and is now back again under the Northerners—in fact it is the only port which is still holding out against the new Nationalist, or Southern, government. These changes have been accompanied by some fighting, and at one time arrangements were made for the evacuation of all foreigners, but although there was fighting in the city, there was no anti-foreign feeling shown and evacuation was not necessary. As Chefoo is the summer base for the American Asiatic fleet and they have had from 20 to 25 men-of-war there all summer, Hartshorn writes that they have felt fairly safe as long as they remained indoors during the disturbances and kept out of the way of stray bullets. He hopes to be able to retire within a year or two and return to America, where he plans to divide his time between Vancouver Island, where he has purchased a summer home, and Southern California, with an occasional trip East to renew old acquaintances.
Secretary, Princeton, N. J.
