CHINESE NATION DISPLAYING
UNAFFECTED TRAITS OF
CHARACTER.
Press Doing Effective Work BY En-
couraeing officials Who Do Their
Duty and Exposing Those Who
Do Not.

Pekin, July 1.-The war against
the rule Of opium, the maleficent
brown fairy" Of the Orient, = is re-
vealing unsuspected traits of Chinese
character. Patience, perseverance,,
and fortitude the best observers
have always conceded to the China
man, but the genuine sentiment
against Opium, allied as it Is to a
sense of national shame and grow
ing national consciousness, has de-
veloped initiative, resourcefulness
and a commanding show of public
opinion not expected by even the
most optimistic.
Public opinion has long ruled
strongly in Chinese business and
banking circles. but it has been sin
erlarly supine in official life. Now

The result Is astonishing. Already

With the aid of the city authorities

5. Keep damp cloths near meat

the conditions, the management OF Riv-

amusement enterprise in the world, has
built up to the cravings of the crowds.
Riveryiew is the only park in the world
that had the courage to put half mill
lion dollars in two spectacles such as the
Monitor and Merrimac" and Creation" -.
each of which leave impressions of glory
and splendor with the visitor never to be
forgotten The Monitor and Merrimac"
is most realistic production Of the ia
nous battle in, Hampton Roads which
revolutionized naval warfare. "Crea-
ton" with beautiful electrical and scenic
effects and living tableaux, illustrates the
birth of the universe. Each of these
spectacles is described by interesting and
impressive lectures Another peculiar
feature about the amusement park idea
this summer is the demand for exciting
rides of the thriller" type. Riyerview
has more of these than any other park ir.

riders all the time. Aside from all these
expensive shows and rides, Riverview

The Moroccan Question.

For some time past the Franco German
dispute over Morocco has apparently sub
sided into state Of unprogressive qui-
etude, contrasting rather sharply with the
excitement caused by recent expressions
Of English readiness to take part in the af-
fair aggressively. Conditions in England
were perhaps responsible for this distrac-
tion of public attention. Meanwhile the
conversations between diplomatic rep
resentatives of France and Germany have
been proceeding. but to no conclusive end
A fear Is now expressed that the situa-
ton is again acute. The French govern
ment has issued a semi-offcial statement
which is ominously suggestive Of an ulti-
matum to the effect that satisfactory
settlement Of the deadlock will be reached
only il the Moroccan rights OF France
are so defined that the settlement will be
final without fear of future controversy.
and il Germany reduces her claims to an

Coxey turn the trick? Did he possess the

The stir reached Washington. Some un-

What would happen if there was no re-

Coxey arrived but without host. A
