classes strenuously object to anything
that threatens interference with or
change in the existing order. China has
long viewed with suspicion the attitude
Of Great Britain, Germany, France and
Russia, who have long manifested dis
position to grab Chinese territory. On
the other hand, the Chinese have mani
tested a friendly spirit toward the Init-
ed States, which has never exhibited
disposition TO secure any of its territory.
''The present uprising, which looks like
the beginning Of the end, doubtless has
for its immediate cause the hatred of the
Chinese for the missionaries. IT is moth
ing less than a war of fanatcism. The
Chinese are normally peaceful race, but
when enraged at the attempts to make
them forsake their ancient religion for
that of another people their fury knows

whether the buying has been purely

With regard to the statement that

1T Is true that we have kent out of

We have never been rate-cutters and
we have cndeavored TO avoid trouble.
