CHINA AWAkENS WITH
A NATIONAL FEELING

Shanghai, Dec. 5.-Recent celebra
anniversary of the republic indicates
clearly that the Chinese are undoubt
9dly developing a national conscious
less Lantern parades and patriotic
meetings were held even in remote sec
ions. The celebrations were not fore
ed upon the public by official orders,
as was the cast frequently under
Yuan Shi-kais regime.
Regret concerning the present
troubled political situation character
zed the general comment Of Chinese
newspapers and Chinese speakers on
the occasion of the anniversary cele-
bration.
During the five years of its life the
republic has had two important rev
buttons in addition to the movement
which resulted in the overthrow of
the Manchu dynasty. There have also
been many local movements of minor
Importance which resulted in consid-
erable loss of life and property.
Bandit leaders and INSCRIPTIONS
politicians have exploited various
parts of the country, and there has
been corruption to a degree not ex-
celled by the Manchus. However,
throughout all this disorder and
throughout the present struggle be-
tween parliamentarians and the mill
airy party, it has been possible to de-
.ect a growing love of independence
and of country, which has finally re-
suited in the firm establishment of
President Lii Yuan-hung in the affec-
ions of the public.
Minor politicians, leaders of va
rious political factions are carrying on
bitter struggle, but Ii Yuan-hung
stands clearly above these factional
fights, and is generally regarded by
the Chinese people as an absolutely
honest and patriotic leader.

UNCLE SAM is MAKING
HIS PART OF BIG MAP

Washington, Dec. 5.-Rapid pro-
gress is being made by the United
States in preparing it's portion of the
huge world map which was agreed
upon in 1909 by nearly all the prin.
cipal countries. Ply international
agreement the authorities began pre-
pairing maps of the entire surface OF
the earth to be published on scale
one-millionth of actual size, or about
one inch to every sixteen miles. All
the maps are to be uniform to shap
and general appearance and are to
have the same conventional signs.
To meet the popular demand in this
ountry for state maps, the United
states geological survey, which has
barge of the making of the American
ection of the world map, is preparing
md publishing maps of each state on
! larger scale than the world map
ections. These state maps are twice
he size or about one inch to every
light miles. A map of the entire Uni
ed States on that scale would cover
; sheet measuring 20 feet by 81 feet.
The survey already has issued such
maps for 33 states, the latest being
hat of Florida, which is one of the
'argest of the series. In compiling
he maps every available source of in
tormation has been ransacked for ma
erial, and many data never before
AVAILABLE to the public in any form
have been procured, so that the maps
exceed in accuracy any heretofore
published. The new Florida map meas
