A reporter asked gun wa II the ~
above, which was taken from the
Popular Science Monthly. was
correct. He smiled, and while oDs
scrlbbllng In Chinese figures,
which are presented here, he .
said that the general American
idea OF China and the Chinese "
was greatly exaggerated and was -
based, probably, on the class Of r
Chinese seen In this country,
which IRE not fair representa-
tives OF the Flowery Kingdom. ~,
