The same thought gives US the
answer to the second question: The

We must have also WoTkmen of tried

that ws can get them back at short

navy needs, perhaps more imperatively

Associated Press Disnatcn nr special Wiros
San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 22.-Dr. T. w.
Ayers, who has been engaged in hos
pital work in North China for FIVE years
for the Southern Baptist Mission, arrived
here from the Orient yesterday. Dis
cussing the situation in China, he said:
"All the trouble in China is directly
attributable to o deep-seated and uni-
form antipathy toward the government.
The feeling OF dissatisfaction is spreading
and, to my mind q revolution is inn
minent. The anti-ioreign feeling is merely
one of the expressions OF the movement,
which has for It's purpose the unseating Of
the Manchu dynasty and the establish
ment Of a Republican form OF government
in its stead. The boycott on American
goods is an expression Of the same revolu-
uonary purpose. These things are
merely the means 70 an end.
The student class has become a nu-
merous and influential body. It is a
matter Of interest that a month OF so ago
1900 students, who returned TO China
IN body from from the schools they had
been attending in Toxic, had great many
uneomplimentary things to say OF the
rulers Of their own country. those stu
dents, who are members of the better
classes in China, are responsible for the
propagation OF the anti-foreign senti-
ment and for the boycott. The anti
foreign feeling is not directed particu-
larly toward the missionaries. The doc
trine that is being spread abroad in the
Empire is that foreigners are there to
grab territory, and the Chinese can see
that the missionaries are not in China to
make money or grab territory"
