off. Day before yesterday some of
Yuan Shi kai's soldiers here arrested
a dark-complected foreigner. thinking
that he was a Chinese revolutionary
In foreign clothes. The fact that he
spoke Chinese very badly did not save
him from this annoyance. The SOL
diers were northern men. and thought
he was speaking the Cantonese dia-
lect. They searched his pockets for
and things. but as he carried
nothing more dangerous than a box
OF safety matches they let him go.
1t is the humble opinion of the
writer h a the shedding of the cue
will cause a great loss to what the
professors call the great sum of hui
man knowledge" In suhstantiation
of this somewhat enigmatic contention
the following syllogism is offered: (a)
Most people in Europe and America
know nothing at all about the China
man excepting that they wear cues
I'D The Cinnamon are now shedding
their cues. (c) 1t follows. therefore.
that as soon as the cues are she'd

of the city to carry out the program
that has been outlined. These conser-
Walton meetings are for h purpose Of
getting the men and pastor of the
church together and thoroughly ia
miliarizing themselves with the work
to be done and apportioning the work
to the best advantage. The pastors
will make a special effort to get as
many men as possible ou to this

II get three days; I get three
months and I get three years I dun
no what's coming. but I want to get
through with these bizniss."
This is what Jim Lambos tells his
countrymen who call up over the tele-
phone at the county Jail and ask,
How about you anyhow. Jim?"
The rest of the conversation is u.s.
ually in the foreign tongue, and 1t
must be good for James of the beau
tiful black mustaches, invariably
walks about the corridor with u broad
smile on his face the remainder of the
day.
The Greeks have not forgotten their
one time sugar king simply because
he Is in the county bastile. A delega-
ton of the foreigners call at the Jail
nearly every day and ask to talk with
the prisoner.
When they are permitted to talk
to Lambos they usually talk in an eX-
cited manner. gesticulating wildly.
They say they are talking business.
but their conversation looks more like
they were about to declare val OH all
the powers of the universe.
And James is living pretty high
these days. His countrymen ONE
times come to the Jail laden with
baskets Of provisions. Roast turkey
and apple pie a la mode seem to be
favorite delicacies with the big Greek.
He has an appetite like a horse.
Lambos will appear before Judge
Mclaughlin Wednesday afternoon.

Chicago News.)

There are some rather amusing
features of the revolution in China.
Fol- example. the legations here must,
for diplomatic reasons, keep up the
fiction that all parts of China are still
loyal to the imperial government.
They are continually sending COM
munications to the imperial govern
ment asking that it protect mission
aries and other foreigners in the
southern provinces.
OF course, the legations know that
the revolution has completely par
alyzed the authority of the imperial
government in those parts. The inn
perial government also knows it, but
keep up the pretense that every
thing is all right and. therefore. re-
plies very gravely to the legations
that orders will be sent to the officials
of those provinces to protect foreign
ers.
Naturally this diplomatic hocus no
Gus can be carried on openly up to Il
certain limit. There are times when
the legations speak very plainly to the
imperial government concerning the
rebellion. So far these more blunt
communications have been unofficial
or senlioficial in nature. consisting
largely of suggestions which could not
be interpreted as interference in the
nan " liz SOuiitlSs ilic
locations have certainly done all in
their power to maintain an attitude
of neutrality. 1t must not be ppos
cd, however. that this attitude pro.
ceeds entirely from goodness of heart.
1t is largely luz to a feeling of mutual
jealousy and to a fear that some pow
err may get an advantage over all
the rest.
Another amusing feature of the
crisis in China is the c~ue-cutting
movement. Since the edict was issued
allowing the Chinese the option of
cutting their cues there have been a
number of the younger Chinese who
have got rid of their hirsute appen-
dages. But here in the north the
movement has by no means been
widespread. While it is not to be cx-
pected that the fashion can b. estab-
lished in Il day, there can be no doubt
the u will soon become a thing
of the past. Without their cues the
Chinese look very much like Japan
ese. Some of the more light-complec-
ted ones-and there are Chinese
skin is almost white-look very much
like Europeans or Americans.
The Chinese themselves do not
seem to know their own people when
the cues are off. To the average Chi
naman one Of his w countrymen
with his u off looks like a foreigner
and a foreigner looks like a Chinese.

hour and at the time of opening serv-
ices a magnificent audience had as
versity had charge of the music and
the audience had been seated with the
men downstairs and the women in
the balcony and the music was es-
pecially effective as a result of this
seating scheme.
w. G. Pearce, the Bible study spc-
cialist gave an illustrated lecture on
THE Greatest Force in the World"
and h lecture was one of the fea-
lures of the campaign. Mr.. Pearce
has the most valuable collection of
photographs of mems Bible classes III
the world and having had slides made
from these he was enabled to present
u vivid picture Of the progress Of BIZ
BILE study throughout the world. The
illustrations were shown usually be-
cause of the peculiar claim that each
had to special recognition, and there
were classes both large and small rep
%rcsenting every possible condition.
Unusual Features.
One picture shown on the screen
was that of q village that had a great
err enrolment in their class thar there
We're men in the village; another was
of a town that had every man in the
town enrolled: another was of fifty
cowboys on horseback that had ridden
fifty miles to take part in a Bible
class parade; while still another was
that of a class that meets at the mid
night hour in one of the eastern shops.
Many features Of the class activities
were shown. among them being phys
ical and social. A Bible class base
ball team was shown that had not
lost a game in two Years. The pic
lures We're the principle drawing card
perhaps. but Mr.. Pearce charmed his
audience by the most interesting man
ner in which he described the Bible
class movement. He stated that there
We're now in existancc $4,000 mems
classes and that this number is being
added to prodigously each year until
the men enrolled in the classes now
are being added to at the rate of 1OO,-
600 n year. Mr.. Pearce also gave n
picture OF the great parade in wash
ington in which over 1000 men
marched in the rain and the United
States senate adjourned to witness the
march.
The meeting closed With a farewell
service in which both Mr.. Pcarce and
Mr.. Drum. the evangelism specialist
took part. Expressions We're asked
for from the floor as to the general
impression OF the meetings and there
was an instant response. Practically
all of the congregations of the city
were represented in the impromptu
expressions that We're given and the
general opinion was that the movment
was by far tn greatest religious force
that had ever touched the city and

that the report recently given pub

Red river. vas not made by him in
connection with his recent investiga-

Red Lake rivers.
That report. he says. was made by
him in December. 1910. but was only
recently reported by the war depart
ment to the congressional committee.
The report in question discussed the
possibilities of navigation. declaring
that the, navigation proposition was
not feasible on the Red.
The report was made on an investi-
cation which did not take into con
sideration the new proposition which
has been raised-that Of constructing
locks and dams to control the river.
