Revolution Drives Foreigners

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 10.-Mexico's
capital is slowly becoming a city of
refugees. Foreigners, especially Amer

months and hundreds of Mexicans of

HONOLULU Chinese SIUDENTSIN
The STATESFOR ASSOCIATION

Once more Honolulu Chinese have
come to the front. Four thousand
miles away from this little island
Territory, in the Middle States, there
came into existence society of cul-
ture which adopted the name Homo
lulu Chinese College Club in the
United States" To the versatile C..
Q. Chiu, or G. Quon Chiu, as he is
popularly known to Honolulans, of
Purdue University, Indiana-to him
was given the honor of being the
the first president to direct the pol
icy of this live-wire organization.
Mail adyices yesterday brought the
news of the birth of this club and the
information concerning the objects
and the ambitious program it is to put
into force. Perhaps the most surpris-
ing fact revealed was the enlistment
of thirty-eight former Honolulu Chi.
nese students now attending Ameri-
can colleges and universities. as mem
bers of this club. There are still
about dozen of these Chinese stu.
dents scattered in various sections of
the United States to be heard from.
Another unknown fact is that already
seventeen former Honolulu Chinese
students have earned their college
degrees and are now out in the world
to do things. All these graduates can
become alumni members of. this col
lege club, and it is to these men and
women who have already traversed
the paths of obstacles that the club
will look for guidance.
An inquiry was made of the where
abouts of these Chinese college men
and goods who have already RECEIVED
their sheep-skins. 1t was learned
that fourteen out of the seventeen are
now located in China and the remain
ing three have but recently returned
from America to this city.
Hawaii does not of er them the OPP
portunity to make practical applica-
ton with the knowledge which they
have so eagerly swallowed during
their college career remarked one
Chinese college gradu ate now in the
city. Just because q mans skin is
yellow is no sign that he is not worth
every cent of two hundred dollars
month. There you get the reason for
the migration of these Chinese col
lege graduates to wider fields"
Information from the most reliable
sources brought out the fact that all
the Chinese college stulents, with two
exceptions, have made good and es-
taElished enviable regulations. While
here they have not been given. the
chance, but placed in strange environ
ments they readily get themselves
properly adjusted to the new condi-
tions of affairs which they have to
face. Quietly have they slipped away
from these shores after their gradu-
alton from Oahu College or the Nc
Kinley High, and almost every single
one of them has to work part of his
way through college. With the pluck
and perseverance so characteristic of
the Chinese race, they succeed and
come out on top in spite of the odds
against them.
With the Birth of the Honolulu Chi
nese College Club in the United
States, this organization is perhaps
the largest Honolulu society existing
anywhere outside of the islands The
Club seeks to get into close touch
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1912-10-30

, with every Honolulu Chinese pursu-
ing higher. education and is the only
medium by which all Honolulans can
be reached. To make things easier in
the future for Chinese, students hail
ing from these shores the Club will
devise means to help them and to in
form them of the best institutions to
follow their chosen profession. The
best part is that theye will assemble
every summer for a week. in order
to exchange new ideas gained from
their residence at about a score of
college towns and at the same time
to give Hawaii a boost by means Of
free concerts and speeches. 1t is hoped
by this way that the American peo-
pie can be educated SO that they will
know their Oriental brethen better.
Some interesting history behind the
newly organized college club can be
given. 1t was Immediately after the
summer conference of the Chinese
Students Alliance of the Midwest
Section at Ann Arbor, Michigan. that
fourteen of the former Honolulu Chi
nese students decided to have a grand
reunion in the nature of genuine
Chinese banquet at Detroit. There
the good points of such college club
were thrashed out thoroughly by C
@ Chiu. now it's first president. The
necessity of such an organization was
q pet idea of three men-Albert Chuch
of Cornell, Kim Tong Ho OF the Uni
rersity of Wisconsin and Z. U. Chiu
o. Purdue. During the seven-day Chi
Eese conference last year at Madison,
Wisconsin's famous collge town, the
three laid the matter before 8 other
Honolulans who travelled hundreds OF
miles to enjoy a brief vacation.
News of the actual birth Of the Ho,
rolulu Chinese College Club in the
United States is now given to Homo
lulu for the first time. With &. z.
CEiu as president, Miss Ethel l.. iona
OF the University of Illinois as score
tary, and DR.. John Y Woo of Mis-
souri, as treasurer. the destinies of the
club will be in safe hands. 1t IS re-
ported that at least fifteen Chinese
students now attending Honolulu
schools will go across the Pacific as
soon as they have accumulated enough
cash, part of which will go to the
Honolulu Chinese College Club in the
United States.

Mr.. Cropsey recited several court

Of their regular payments to the pension

reinsta tements. Mr.. Cropsey said:
They are harmful to the force" lie
ADDED that the courts have decided In
favor of policemen, ordering reinstaae-
ment In the majority of cases. Usually
the order OF the court carries with 1t q
rule requiring payment Of back salary
to reinstated policemen from date of
dismissal. Frequenly-and to the de.
triment OF discipline" Mr. Cropsey said
''reinstated men go back to their former
precincts and report for duty to the
very officers who may have caused dis.
miysal.'
Mr.. Cropsey suggested that adequate
changes In the charter might furnish
remedy. Permissive instead of compul
sorry joining the pension fund might b.
also found beneficial.
