received here from missionaries. Direct
official action on the part of the various
Missionary Boards will probably be taken
this week, to urge upon the State Depart

case our Government can at least demand
that similar effort be made by the authori-
ties 10 protect Americans that the United
States is making to protect the Chinese.
