Mr. Youns brother is senator al
Picking. Consequently his brother in
Cornell has much inside information
as to political conditions. According
to him, the 100000 loan for the
building Of railroads which went out
from the United States last month will
no doubt be used in central China,
with Shun Chung and Hankow as its
terminals. ''Hankow," said Mr.. Youn
naively, lis our Chicago. Shanghai our
New York"
The new president. Ii Yuan Hung

Is very kind and humble. He is UNI
selfish He tries to do something FOR
the people. He is a man respected In
public opinion. When he first came to
congress he had few attendants, while
the first president, Yuan Shih kai,''
Mr.. Youn went on brokenly in the
manner Of one who has not entirely
mastered the quirks Of our language,
carried with him a great deaf or al
tendants and soldiers to protect him.
MY brother said in his last letter that
Mr.. Lii had invited all the members
of parliament to tea party and had
signed his own name to the invitations,
The first president always used the
names of his secretaries"

declaration. When | left it it had

And cur roads are getting much
smoother and wider We are getting

There were twenty boys in our grad

en- OF US are now in the states In all
there are fifty students from Foochow
here in America 1t is only when they
reach America, questionings developed
that they learn anything concerning
the present European war. In spite of
the effect which its outcome will have
upon China, the country today is little
informed as to its progress or it's sig
nificance. "No-no," both of the men
said doubtfully, in response to surprise
as to their want of information on the
subject. I'VE don't hear much about
that in China"
