EGGS FROM CHINA.

China exports the albumen from
both hen and duck eggs Consul
Gauss writes from Shanghai: 1.-The
eggs are broken by native women,
who receive from to Z 1-2 cents a
day, and the albumen is separated
from the yolk. The albumen is then
placed in barrel and slightly beaten
to open the many small skins which
surround the albumen and to mix II
thoroughly. 1t is then poured into an
other barrel through strainer which
separates parts of the skins. as well
as any small pieces Of shell that may
have become mixed with the albu-
men. After standing from one to
four days until the foam and small
skins have come to the surface 1t is
poured into zinc pans about twelve
inches in diameter, which have been
previously. rubbed with tea oil, olive
oil or vasseline.
THE pans are placed In a hot room
In temperature Of about 100 de-
grees and the albumen is thoroughly
dried In about thirty hours. After
cooling 1t is packed ready for ship
ment in paper lined tin boxes placed
In wooden cases. Inferior qualities
resulting from some defect in the pro-
cess are not shipped to the United
States, but are used for technical pur-
poses.

mo thought Of aggression or sell

central feature of
Not For Our President Wilson's
Aggrandisement. policy in dealing
with Mexico from
the start. 1t is his policy even now
with our warships in possession Of
Vera Cruz and our soldiers on Mexi-
can soil. 1t is view in which the
thoughtful people of the country will
generally concur.
This is the true spirit in which to
meet the Mexican problem, says the
Chicago News. This is the true spirit
in which to conserve the power. the
dignity and the institutions Of the
United States. Conquest and annex
alton of alien peoples must bring dis
aster to a country where popular gov
ernment prevails. We are engaged
in the heavy but glorious task of as
similating all individuals of assimil-
able races who though natives Of other
countries choose to come here to live
under our constitution and our laws.
We cannot possibly permit ourselves
to go out and gather in reluctant peo-
Piles and make Americans Of them
against their wills.
The Daily News deplores such coun-
sci as the following which appears in
the editorial columns Of the great and
influential Chicago Tribune: IAN army
should be raised; as large as we can
find competent officers to command.
The larger the invading army the less
boys will be killed in the Mexican
sunlight. Mexico must be crossed
from end to end, from side to side.
The bandit leaders must all be re-
duced, the miles upon miles Of rich
soil rendered sterile by their depre-
dations have to be opened to thrifty
landseekers and made productive to
help support the worlds population
The Mexican people must be freed
from the tyranny Of caste and the
bondage Of internecine strife to climb
the path Of progress within the ex-
tended boundaries Of the United
States"
That is clearly a. policy of bald con-
quest and annexation. II calls for the
dilution of American citizenship by
the forcible addition of $1,000, 900

poems and bandits, mainly Indians
along with some thousands of educat-
ed Mexicans mostly of mixed Span
ish and Indian blood. 1t is a policy
cf progressive suicide for the Ameri-
can republic.
Though the great majority of the
American people are averse to TAX
ing no more burdens by assuming
responsibility for the affairs Of other
peoples, because they are not in IA
vor Of military conquest or financial
exploitation Of foreign countries, we
have among our citizens some who
share the imperalistic views Of the
colonizing nations of the earth. Long
before there was any justification fol
taking hand in the Mexican uproar
certain Americans were shouting fol-
intervention on the ground that prop
erty interests of citizens Of the Uni
ted States would be benefited by tina,
course.
II the United States can be made
by events to assume responsibility for
restoring order and establishing a
condition of governmental stability ir
the vast country to the south Of the
Rio Grande, property interests in Mex
leo will profit. But it will be at the
expense Of taxpayers of this country
and to our serious injury in other
ways. Permanent occupation and an
nexation are unthinkable.
