DR.. Woodward Gives H.
teresting Talk at Bates.
First White Man Born In the
Historic Chinese Capital.
First Assembly Dance Held Friday
Evening at u. Of N.

Lewiston. Me, Feb. 7.-(SpeciaU.--
Instead of the usual recitation work
i'll Senior English today the class lis
tened to an hours lecture on China
by Rev Mr.. Woodward of auburn.
MIR. Woodward was the first white
child born in Pekin and has passed
most of his life there in missionary
work and is therefore good authority
on Chinese customs
His remarks were very interesting
and made more effective by the addi-
ton of an occasional joke First he
took up the subject of schools in China.
These until very recently were con-
Quoted in manner much different
from ours. Each pupil male for no
girls attended school-did his STUDYING
aloud. He stated that the Chinese
civilization and language is the oldest
III the world. The Chinese have Dor
rowed nothing, but have inven,ed gun
powder the compass and printing;
SunpcWder, however, they never used
III warfare. \ Chinaman is not allow-
cd to leave his country without Il per-
init from the authorities. All Chinese
people that have come to America are
from the district of Canton.
In regard to the language Mr.. Wood
ward said they had no declenSfon or
grammatical rules. but depended en-
tlrely upon the infection given 10 Il
pronunciation. Here he read several
passages from Il Chinese book.
Other characteristics, briefly are:
The roads are extremely bad. Peopl.
take jlagstoneS from the streets to
make their door steps.
y good Chinese cook can be procured
for 81 a month. There are Il great
many different languages in China.
They travel very little and this is the
cause OF 50 many different languages
Woman was despised in China and
even animals considered above her, but
since missionaries have been 50 active
there IS Il remarkable transformation
taking place; woman is rising to her
right sphere, idols are being done away
with and classic literature is being
written. Mr.. Woodward conducted the
chapel exercises.

regular program 4 short farce entitled

THE Bluejackets' Friends gives no
tice today that it has been permanent

to defend the boys of the navy from
alleged discrimination in their eXclu-
sion from high class places of amuse-
ment, etc, and in a statement given
out today the officers of the society
say:
Mistaken ideas have prevailed re-
garding the personnel of the navy but
people are awakening to the fact that
it is not dumping ground for police
court refuse or reformatory school
for unruly boys. 1t is we'll known that
criminals are towards and no navy

possesses can he composed of any but
men of high morals, honesty and honor
The residents of eaboard cities have
simply been too busy minding their
own business to take a proper interest
in these strangers in their midst. 1t

to them to arouse popular feeling and

that he planned to make an early re-
turn to this country. They said that
Mr. Morse had hoped to be able to
spend about Il week on the other side
and that his announced purpose of
adhering to his original plan indicated
that he was far less distressed over
his financial affairs than has been sup
posed.
His attorney, Albert Il. Boardman,
also knew positively that his client
WAS aboard the Campania. but was
naturally Interested in learning that
Mr.. Morse was we'll aud contemplate
ca only Il brief stay abroad.
Although United States District NJ
torney Stimson declined to discuss the
case as far as the inquiry into nation

was concerned, he said that he was
pleased to receive confirmation Of his
conviction that the man had sailed as

said. that Mr. Morse was a passenger

game of cards.
Without moments hesitation, Mr..

Mr.. Morse proceeded from Queens
town to Liverpool on board the Cam

Mr.. Morse made no secret Of his
