ing to keep the railroad employees at
their posts and explaining that 1t was
patriotism for them and for water
works and electric light employees to
continue to work. At the end of that
week the students had won the first
point and the militarists were out of
power" M
When suffrage In any form finally
comes to China Miss Smith feels that
1t viii be granted to both men and wo-
men because Of the way women are
helping to build things up now. Wom-
en- students took an active part In all
of this bloodless revolution. They had
their places on all of the councils.
Their part of the work was to trans
late much of the literature into phonet-
ic script and when a boycott was de-
clared on japanese goods to begin pro-
duction of goods In China.
Gall Of the students threw away
their straw hats-purely Japanese
products-at the beginning Of their
movement, and the women students
set about making white duck hats,
which were called patriotic hats and
Immediately became avery popular
Then they began devoting themselves
to the making of parasols and of tai
cum powder. Some of them paraded,
but none was arrested.
"China Is the last country in the
,uorJA - fo~r NJ 60. PooIiV,r o.A oxffx>o
thy, which seems to be gripping the
rest Of the world" Miss Smith says.
I'm China there Is a wonderful social
solidarity. People get together, not so
much by localities, but by trades and
professions. Every one belongs to
guild, and these guilds are wonderfully
organized, as the Chinese have a
genius for organization. Despite
poor lines of communication. lack of
railroads. and telephones, these guilds
hold closely together. Yet their organ
ization has nothing to do with caste.
"With leadership as highly organ
tied as that of the students great
amount can be done. Leading men of
China interpret the student movement
as very significant-the forming of a
new national party. 1t is the duty Of
all Christian organizations in China to
give these students, who are now the
leaders of the Government, every pos
sible bit of aid and inspiration, as they
need more than human help to bring
China out Of her difficulties successful
ly. The Y. w. @. A. is doing what It
can to help the women students. All
Of these students have given up their
vacations and are working hard
throughout the summer"
Miss Smith has seen China change,
within ten years, from one OF the old
est and most rigid monarchies Of the
world into republic. She saw the
first republican flags go up and feels
that China has accomplished a great
deal, fighting all the time as she has,
against the great odds of Japanese and
European aggression in addition to the
old monarchistic party. Given time,
China will become one Of the great re-
publics of the world. she says.
Miss Smith lives in Richmond, Va,
and Is home on years furlough. She
expects to return to China In the
spring.
