4 JOURNEY IN SEARCH OF NEITHER
POETRY NOR MAGIC.

few wears ago. Mr.. Schwab, Of the Beth
l.h.r Steel Company, went TO China. When
b. came home he had something more than
an album full OF picturesque landscapes. No
body was surprised at it; nobody thought
that man like Mr. Schwab would take an
excursion into Picking for his personal health,
for the poetry that IS in the city Of the Son
OF Heaven. or for the magic that is East. The
sam, Mr. Schwab was in Europe a while be-
for. the war broke out. He brought home
something with him which made he common

A PROPER FINANCIAL DOCUMENT
THAT IS TO SAY, DULL.

Il was an agreement calling for the loan OF
just $4,000 900 in American money-nothing
more than that China agreed TO borrow that
amount Of money from America and pay
per cent interest Which is as dry as any
right-pinded financial document should be.
Romance comes in in the object OF the loan
the way it is TO be spent. Right there Mr.
Sehwab leaned on a two-bag hit and lined
slzzler straight for the sea gate OF Fuchsu-
for his all-American team. The money-at
least SO, 900 OF it's to be spent for the
construction OF naval docks and foundations
and platforms Of coast defence guns on the
island OF Mamoi, near Fuchau. No engineers
to be employed, no materials TO be used but

The Japanese citizen who has just enough
sense TO know d good thing when he sees It,
is not slow in showing his admiration Tor the
American genius and the American method.
He essays to follow in the excellent and
profitable footsteps Of Mr.. Schwsb. The Jap
snese citizen does not know that this Ameri-

British, the Germsn-especially the German
and the Belgian and the Russian; more especl-
ally the Belgian and the Russian and the
French-al use the same method.

terrific difficulties the russians have

hundreds of prisoners and some guns.
Isolated hghung is reported from

Although they have been unable to
pierce the German lines, the Russians
by repeated assaults, have forced Field

At OSsOWiec, on the BObr river.
where the Germans are hOmbarding

have expended a vast quantity of am

have done little damage.

their heavy artillery TO stem the ad-
