AMERICANS IN CHINA.

When it was announced some weeks
ago that tue American troops wele
about to leave China an incident rare
in the worlds history took place in
Pekin. A petition, signed by 56t6
Chinese resi- Tents of Pekin. was pre-,
sented to the American Provost Mar
shall. asking ,or the retention of the
American troops, and referring crate
fully to the exemplary conduct and
good work CT the American soldiers,
and to the saccor given by them &c
thousands of the destitute inhabitants
of the Chinese city. This was an his
torieal event deserving of long re
membrance. It is not often that an
invading army has left behind it in
the invaded country such a glorious
record. Eternal animosities, bitter
memories, desire for retaliation.
shame and modification are the usual
"reminiscences of a military invasion.
In replying to the memorable Chinese
petition, the American Provost Mar
shall said that the soldiers of the Re
public entered China perforce of cir
cumstances as its enemies. but would
go away as friends.
Such is the fruit of the American
policy and action in China. It Is
splendid trophy for the United States
and for the Administration, which
has pursued the course of Cancellation.
justice and the charity that "suffereth
long and is kind in dealing with the
perplexing Chinese troubles. The po-
hey of the United States has been d.
Dramatically correct, and the conduct
Of its soldiers in China, so far from
deepening the Chinese prejudice
against all things foreign. which was
believed to be ineradicable. has been
such as to give good ground for the
hope that China viii in the future cul-
tivate the most friendly relations with
us and give us the place of 'the most
favored nation in her respect and
gratitude. Bloody victories over the
Chinese in the field would have had
10 such fortunate outcome. II the
American soldiers had INDUCED in
the lootings. assaults and nameless
offences against humanity and civiliz-
ed warfare which have disgraced the
invasion Of some OF the other Powers,
the American flag would have receiv-
ed an indelible stain.

THE TRAILING SKIRT NUISANCE.

One thing that might vel have re
ceived some expert attention AZ the
tuberculosis congress held recently IN
New York is the trailing skirt mi
sanoe No better agent for the col
lection and dissemination Of germs
could be imagined From out of
homes infected with consumption the
trailing skirt carries its disease-caus-
ing bacIili into the street. public halls
and conveyances. where the obiigfng
draperies of other women sweep
them Up and retransfer them TO homcs
not yet invaded BY disease, but which
in turn become foci for Infection
This deadly round goes on simply
because women are still the slaves OF
hurtful fashions. The short skirt for
the street has indeed made its way
into popularity on rainy days. but for
the most part is worn by those who,
by the general conditions of life, are
protected from the invasion OF disease
germs. Moreover, on rainy days.
though the trailing skirt is an offense
to the eye OF man, and one would
think its bedraggied lengths worried
its owners, it is not such a germ
gatherer as on dry days, since the
germs are washed away by the rain
in the air ana on the pave. On clear
days. however. the short skirt has by
no means following even among
women who appreciate its value in
stormy weather, and the trailing gar
ment rules supreme.
If the average woman could be
shown in the laboratory IN culture
tubes and under the microscope the
varied fora of disease-causing germs
that her trailing skirts carry and stir
up in the street and at home she
would marvel that the sex survived.
Under normal conditions of health
the human economy does resist germs
of all kinds, but this is no reason for
spreading them in public or carrying
them to homes where, in the case of
the family or in the case of the in
diyiduals. by reason of physical and
social conditions, the vitality is low
cred beyond the resisting point. In
the light of bacteriology the trailing
skirt is crime against the public
good and ought to be suppressed.
