very children to whom she may give
birth become the legal wards of her Chi
nese rival and superior. A white wife,
or, rather. as shown above. the white
cepIty wife, has no vestige of right TO
her own offspring; nor has she any voice
in their care and education. They be-
long to the Chinese wife just as much as
If she had actually gwen birth to them.
Every Chinaman of education and
standing who while abroad marries a
white woman is therefore guilty Of
something very much akin to bigamy
and as in a number of matrimonial alli-
ances of this kind that have taken
place either the bridegroom has been a
diplomatic or consular dignitary, or else
the ceremony has taken place in the
presence of Chinese diplomatic or con-
sular representatives, the fraud per-
petrated on the misguided bride consti-
tutes a scandal not calculated to pro-
mote the belief abroad in Chinas much
vaunted and highly priced reputation
for official and commercial honor
That is why the Prince Regent has
promulgated his recent decree forbld-
ding all marriages between Cinnamon
and white women, either in CHINA or
abroad, and both the edict and the rea-
sons which have led to it's issue should
be made known in every city, town ana
village of the United States and of Eu-
rope, so that no public officer or minis
ter of any religious denomination may
render himself a party to what is Writ
ually crime by officiating at and en-
dowing with what he believes to be legal
sanction a marriage between one of his
countryWomen and a Chinaman.
Nearly every white man who has re-
sided in China has been called upon To
contribute to the passage home or un-
fortunate American and European
women who, having married in their
own country a Chinaman OF more or
less rank. found on accompanying him
to the Orient that their position there
was not only false but altogether lntol-
erable. and / remember in particular

ment and Of depriving his country of
services that would otherwise have
proved extremely valuable.
The Japanese object to such mar
riages for number of reasons. They
realize that their ethics, their ideas
their principles, their traditions are en-
tirely different to our own, and that a
white woman can never fit into Japan

our odor. The japanese, like all other
Orientals. and like the Red Indians. find
the odor of the white races very often
sive-they declare that it is not only
'piquant." but even rancid"
To such an extent is this the case that
when one OF the lieges of the Mikado re-
sides sufficiently long In America or
Europe to become impregnated there
with 1t is considered sufficient to ex-
empt him from that military service
which is obligatory upon every Japan

bidding all Chinese who may be visit

obedience 10 the commands Of the

No reasons are given by him for the
PRONUNCIATION OF this edict, but II is

white woman who weds Chinese coolie
is looked upon by the authorities of her
native land as something very much
akin to an outcast and as unworthy OF
either sympathy or championship.
There is, however, a still more I'M
portant reason which has prompted the
Prince Regent TO issue the decree IN
question against these alliances OF
Cinnamon and white women. 1t is that
every Chinese with the slightest preten-
sions to respectability or education is
infancy, TO the daughter of some init
mate friends or relatives. and who is of
about the same age This betrothal is q
more sacred bond in China even than
marriage, for whereas divorce is possible
after marriage for reasons provided by
Chinese law, there are no legal means OF
breaking off an engagement. The latter
can be terminated only by death or by
marriage The result of this condition
of affairs is that every Chinese diplo-
matte or consular official in this country
and in Europe, every Chinese student at
our military and naval academies and at
our colleges and universities here in
America and on yonder side of the At
lantic has a fiancee at home TO whom he
is much more securely bound by law
than If actually married, no matter how
much he may pose as gay and giddy
bachelor
Moreover, if despite this engagement

That place belongs to the flancee whom
