W. though we now know more
wv than we did before the new
republic over there came
along to focus our attention upon the
conditions obtaining in the land of cx
clusion. We learned Of the fall of the
Manchu dynasty and the passing of
the Chinaman S queue. Thereupon, we
began to think that, perhaps, all China
men were not laundrvmen or garden
ers and we were told of the ancient
civilization of Cathay. We have not
come to respect China particularly,
even if Il great change was effected
without any undue fuss, but we have
come to learn that there j. "A lot to
China, physically and humanity.
All of this lends interest to the story
of II Manchu prince, who was washed
away on the spring flood Of Il great
river in China to float all night amid
the wreckage of farms and villages and
to be picked up in the morning by a
merchant junk with great wings on
it, all of which served to acquaint
him with his own people and their
and an ideal. Prince Changmong Stay
Lee. favorite of the old dowager EN-
press and member of the ancient Man
chu dynasty, is now in the United
States as direct result of that night
of floodtime and danger. He is here
to study our methods of business and
living. that he may in his turn teach
his own people. and this despite the
fact that the Manchus are now shorn
of power and prestige. He is doing
this in a spirit of altruism that finds
few equals. He is in the great cities of
the east today. interviewing manufac
turers, learning methods of organiza
ton and gaining general information.
that some day, he may build factories
in his own country and teach his people
to make simple necessaries. such as
clothing and shoes.
