Three survivors of the mission
ary massacre at Nanchan last
February arrived here yesterday
from China on the liner Mon
golia. Less than two months ago
Mrs. E. D. James and her two
pretty little daughters, with her
husband and band of fellow
missionaries, were hunted by a
bloodthirsty mob of Chinese,
bent on spflling more OF the
Anglo-Saxon blood with which
their hands were red and drip
ping. The cool heads OF the Chi
nese officials and the bravery of
the Chinese soldiers saved the
little band from sharing the fate
of their fellows, and Mrs. James
and her two little girls, Helen,
eight years old, and Rachel, six,
have come home to try and forget
the sights and sounds that at
tended their hurried departure
from Nanchan.
STORY OF THE MASSACRE.
The story of the massacre was
told briefly in the cable dis
patches, and later fuller accounts
were received through official
sources, but Mrs. James is the

THE DAY OF THE PEACEMhKER.

But lately the whole country was
asked to rejoice upon waking to the
fact that its official head was peace
maker to the earth and the nations
thereof and it was claimed as a tri
umph that America stood sponsor for
the Peace Congress, as its example
made possible a congress Of the ma
lions and the international supreme
court, Now comes the confession
from leading Republican statesman
even senator from New England
that the richest nation on earth spend
two thirds Cf its enormous revenue
for the past or future killing of men
that the messages of it's chief are fill
ed with demands for yet more expen-
sive preparations along the same
lines, and that more must continually
be raised even to the imposition of
war taxes In time OF profound peace.
Europe pleads the excuse for arm
ed camps that each people is ueighbor
to a past and prospective foe-this
is not true of us. Each declares that
its future safety rests upon It's ability
to fight only-lhis Is not true of us.
We have claimed TO lead public opin-
ion en- all industrial lines aud to hold
ourselves separate and apart from the
entanglements that lead to wars inev-
i;ably-President Roosevelt glories in
having broken the rules advanced by
Washington for our guidance.
We tax industry for war We de
vote the revenues that should dredge
our rivers and harbors TO advance our
commerce. The nation does not pre-
pare the highways originally given il
as a sacred trust and it cannot put
down rates on corporate roads by Civ
ing competition ON the water because
1t wants half a billion year for eX
penses entailed by one war or for pre-
paration for another
If this policy be right. We are weak |
or than We were, or We intend TO in |
aUgurate new policy by preparing |
for career OF aggression. Our cont |
nent has not been finished-it stu |
lacks the population which only indus !
trial prosperity can give us. We spend !
six hundred millions year in the |
Philippines, and plead poverty for neg |
lecting home duties, while borrowing |
money for the Panama canal.
