 "The Chinese are very amenable to teaching" Miss Hayes said, although bound as they are by superstition and fear of their ancestors, who if they fail to worship them come back in some form to punish them. But once they have heard the glorious gospel of salvation they enthusiastically cast aside their shackies and become mbued with beau tiful faith and trust.'
 Miss Hayes was asked how the Chinese people feel about the present war strug- gle, and she repled:
 ''The Chinese, being peace-loving people, have of course kept up their at titude; they look to America for every thing; 1t was not uncommon to hear in- quiries before America entered the war, almost every day, to the effect, Has America gone to war yet? The Chinese people were sorry we declared war. On the steamer which l arrived on July 23 at Vancouver, there were 2300 coolies aboard bound for France; not to fight, but as laborers; every English boat brought coolies. We were not told that we were going to get the coolies be- cause German spies had been found aboard our ship with dynamite, which meant trouble; our baggage was exam ined rigidly, something which has never been done before war war declared" "
 Speaking of American customs, enter tainment and other things which China has adopted, Miss Hayes said:
 There is a marvellous opportunity for educational work, as we'll as to make a great deal of money in China by the moving picture people. The American pictures now being sent over there are frghtfully low in class; they give a very undesirable impression of American life and if somebody would produce good pictures and send them to China it would be a splendid thing.
