private persons to deck their estab-
lishments with Joan of Arcs banner.

on the line of the Pekin-Hankow
railroad, about five hundred miles
from the capital city. 1t is the birth
place of Yuan Shi Kai, the President
Of the Chinese Republic. Eight years
ago Father Chiolino, of the Milan
Foreign Missions, established there
the first Catholic mission in the dis
trict, and already there are two thou
sand Catholics in his fold. The mis-
sion has, indeed, grown beyond his
control, and upon important feasts
and big occasions he is compelled to
call upon his brother missionaries of
other stations to help him with con-
fessions and to assist in the cere-
monials of the feast days.
