part of the city has been infested the
past two evenings withsswarms Of small
crickets that suddenly made their APP
spearance on the sidewalks and sides of
the buildings in such numbers that these
structures in places were fairly black
with the insects. The visitors appear to
seek the rays Of the electric light in the
evenings. but remain hidden during the
days. The Interiors of some of the
buildings have been infested and the in
'sects In these places have become a

where this army OF invaders came from.
nor does any one remember seeing SO
many Of the insects in such vast num-

Japan sets the world good example.
Our soldiers have been just. They never
abused Chinese people and never humili-
ated women China Is now being rob-
bed by the powers and is on the very
brink of destruction. China must be
punished for her hindrance Of the
worlds peace, but must she be robbed
or destroyed under the worlds partl-
ton? China is surely guilty, but she
must be pitied. The ignorance of the
Chinese is one Gauge, but the accumulat-
ed abuse and humiliation by the powers
is another and greater for the uprising
of the Chinese against the foreign ma
tions. If the foreign troops are all with
drawn now think there will be another
uprising.
| Japan. who fought with China for
Corea's Independence, must now save
China from destruction. Japan is but a
1 little giant, but the chivalric spirit, akin
to that Of the Spartan and Roman, is
within her. Russia is yearning after
northern China, and has an eye to the
great central valley, where the British
influence is still predominant. In case
Russia and England war, France, who
was driven from India by Great Britain,
will probably assist Russia. II these
h two countries unite for the partition of
China It will mean war not between
1 those countries and Japan or England,
but a worlds war.
The United States. tho beginning to
s play great part on the Pacific. seems
to desire to remain free. Yet why can
not the United States, who opened Jap

claim against the partition of China
