w Whoever mentions "coolie la
w bor"-and it does not matter
where or when-does so with
a sheer and with contempt. The above
remark includes the Chinese them
selves; they cover their faces in shame
at the thought of the numberless
coolies disgracing the very name of
China in the eyes of all the world.
The fact is, however, that coolie
labor is perhaps the greatest mobile
wealth OF China to day.
On August IA China entered the
world war on the side of the Entente.
What has she been doing for the cause
of the Allies?
The government has marshalled
about the only efficiently organized
body of men in the young republic-its
chambers of commerce have put forth
every effort to stimulate production.
And there are many things which
China can send to the Allied countries

her allies Many of the German pris-
Cners i'm Russia to-day are clothed with

even be possible for China-whose

appalling amazement to American

But the chief contribution of China
is her laboring men.
Representatives of the Entente Al
lies know this very well. And to-day

The Province Of Shantung has for
years been famous for the army of

there that the representatives of the

great war.
When Chinese applies for the work
