far as I have been able to observe, the
reported disturbances In China have
been grossly exaggerated, and condi-

THAT there have been disturbances
Is quite true, but I do not think they

1.-THE feeling against the Americans
In China does not exceed that enter

as l understand the situation the entire
anti-foreign feeling Is due in q large
measure to the exploitation Of business
enterprises which the Chinese feel
should be controlled by their peo-

aside from this chief source Of an

are due to the presence of mission

WHITE SLAVERY IN CHICAGO
One of Them, Who Tried q Hang
Herself, Declares There Are Three
thousand In the City.

Chicago.-Accordirg to the story of
Alice Wilson, aged "a, who fried to
hang herself in a cell at the Harrison
Street station, Thursday, there are
more than three thousand white slaves
in Chicago, and almost every saloon,
where women congregatc, is a slave
den.
The woman, who was arrested on Il
charge of d~isorderly conduct, claims
the saloon men pursue their slaves to
the death if the women try to break
away and lead better lives.
Improvising a rope u of strips torn
from a shirt waist, Miss Wilson, who
was once the wife of a merchant,
broken-hearted over her arrest on a
charge Of disorderly conduct, tried to
commit suicide by hanging. Mrs. Har-
rison. the matron, discovered her and
cut her down.
There is no justice for u.s." declared
the young woman after she had been
revived. Il am a white slave"
Then she told the pitiful story of the
white slaves and declared there was an
organized band Of slave traders in the
city, who pay from 500 to $500 fol-
each woman who can be induced tc
lOiter in the saloons.
