FOREIGNERS IN CHINA.
Accurate Information as to tina NUM-
Der Cannot he Obtained at the
Present Time.

There seems to be a woeful lack Of
definite information as to the number
of foreigners now residing in China.
The information is not easy to get,
for when a country stretches thousands
of miles. and it takes a traveller four
months to proceed from the coast to
the far interior, ever by constant trav>'
cling, it is pain that such statistics
are extremely difficult to obtain. But
one famous foreign newspaper, the
Deutscher Reichs-Anzeiger, has been
at some pains to get particulars Of
what figures are available relating to
the known Foreigners in the towns
known as treaty ports
The figures apply to some seven or
eight towns on the seacoast OF China,
open for trade and business to all ma
tionalities. In these we find that there
are in round numbers: English, 1862;
japanese, 2,440: Americans, 1885:
Russians, 1921; Portuguese, 1923:
French, 1883; Germans, 1874; Span
iards, AS; Scandinavians, 244; Belgians,
234; Danes, 17S: Italians, 1874; Dutch,
l06; miscellaneous, 161; a total of IL
1893.
Itthus appears that Englishmen form
more than a third portion of all the for
eigners in China, and this fact alone
will show what a stake England has in
the most costly stake of all-human
lives-in the events now occurring in
the Celestial empire. A general mas
sacre of all foreigners in that land
would mean that Great Britain should
have to mourn the loss by a terrible
death Of torture and trial of no fewer
than 1862 brave English men and
women!
England's trading firms in these
towns number 4O1, while Japan's are
1875, and she is second. Germany has
115, and is third. Then there are rs
French trading firms in China and 10
Russian.
