CHINA IS BEING
TURNED UPSIDE
Down IN CUSTOM
Colleges, Hospitals and Mis-.
sions Have Changed the
Old Order; Missionaries
Given Credit.

Pekin, June 2s.-(By Mai.)-
China is being turned upside down.
The dust of centuries is being re-
moved. The heritage of dead civil
ization is being discarded. Men are
raising their eyes to the dawn Of
new things. Women are drinking
deep from the chalioe of equality.
Old gods are being COMPOUNDED. Old
supersttitions are falling away. The
false is fading into oblivion before
the true. -,
China is being turned upside
down. The old order changeth. The
heather has prayed to idols and has
prayed in vain. Scholarship is no
longer confined to the robed priests
of Buddha and Confucius. Schools
and colleges are changing that. The
diseased no longer die unheeded.
Hospitals and dispensaries are
changing that. The dogs no long
err lick the sores of Lazarus. A con-
seriousness OF social justice changing
that.
China is being turned upside down
and the ambassadors of the New
Freedom are the missionaries of the
church. It is they who are doing
this thing and China knows it and
is impressed by it and is glad of it.
Service of Education.
And net the least of this work is
the work being done by the Episco-
pal church. Her ambassadors are
giving to China service of educa-
ton and inspiration. And it is to
improve this service, to enlarge it,
to make it greater and deeper and
mere beneficial that the church
looks to its nationwide campaign
for that compaign is to enable the
church to accomplish her whole
work both at home and abroad and
to encourage her members to partici-
pate in just such duty as turning
China upside down and breaking the
bonds that still bind her to a dis
tant past
Today in the homes of Chinese
Christians one finds the wife at the
table with her husband and her
daughters there. also. for daughters
no longer are regarded burdens but
are sent to school and cared for
equally with boys. Nor may man
keep concubines and divorce his wife
at will. All that is past and forbid
der and cast down The false is
falling into oblivion before the true.
Not long ago in China suffering
and distress were everywhere and
the halt. the lame and the blind were
seen helpless, hopeless and often dy-
ing in the streets. Now hospitals
have been established, dispensaries
ar. in operation and orphanages
have been erected. At first the Chi
nese thought the missionary doc
tors were scorcerers; then they
thought they were incomprehenslble
mysteries: now, though they still
cannot understand why they do 50
much good for nothing, they see that
good being done and are forced into

The Nebraska Central college

And thus are they brought into
touch with the principles Of Chris
tianity.
Chureh's Educational Work.
OF . similar nature is the i'm
preston made upon them by the
educational work Of the church. One
has only to turn to the work of the
two Episcopal universities, St.
Johns and Boone, to understand
why this is so. From these univer-
sites have come such men as Well
ington Koo, Chinese ambassador to
the United States; Alfred SEE Sao-
Ke, ambassador to Great Britain; w.
w. Yen, minister to Germany at the
time Of the outbreak of the war; I. c.
Suez, Of the board of foreign affairs
in the Central government; Phillip
Tyau, in the Chinese legation at
London; T. T. Wong, director of
Chinese government students, who
was recently assassinated at Wash
ington; Y. T. Tsur, president of the
Tsing-hau government college for
U. S. A. indemnity students at Pek-
in and c. T. Chao, vice president of
that college; L. N. Chang, the only
Chinese lawyer admitted to the
western legal association at Hang
kow; Y. J. 500, founder and presi-
dent of the Shanghai High school,
a private school with 500 pupils: T.
H. WI, head physician Of the Nam
zing municipal dispensary; Y. N.
Zung, head physician of the Sung
kiang city hospital. a private insti-
tuition, and a host of others in the
government and in educational and
hospital work.
In jus: such ways is China being
turned upside down. By education is
the dust of centruies being removed.
By inspiration men and women are
raising their eyes to the dawn of
new things. Through the ambassa-
doris of the church is the false fad
ing into oblivion before the true.
And that the amba ssadors may be
and succored and made
firm the nationwide compaign Of
the Episcopal church in America
comes to encourage her members
to gifts and service.

public OF the Soviets Is of such a ma
ture that the Temps remarks:
ut Is to Sovietism that they hope to

that to vote for Socialism Is to vote for
Sovietism and Bolshevism."
The Socialist party. which made hero
of William c. Bullitt, is having printed
now extracts from his report on Russia
to be distributed broadcast throughout
France. NJ. Longuet, the Socialist
leader. urges that this report "of an
honest man, representing at the same
time a great capitalistic state" should
be posted on the walls OF Paris as nail
ing all capitalistic lies about Sovietism.
Other questions both in Italy and
France threaten to be overshadowed
completely by the issue that the Social
lists are making of the war against the
Bolshevists, for the conservatives of all
parties already are talking of carrying
Bolshevism for the first time to the bal
lot box.
That anything like Russian Sovietism
would be introduced In either country.

next Parliament, Is unlikely. 1t would
mean, however. the end of all external

once more the flood gates for Lenine

CHILE SEEKS NEW GARNET.
No Majority to Form One to Dis

SANTIAGO, Chile. Oct 25.--The politi-
cal situation following the resignation
of the Cabinet October 16 is still uncer-
tain. The Cabinet which resigned Is
still in charge of the administration, as
nc political majority upon which to base
new Cabinet has yet been formed.
The separation Of the parties which
formed the former majority Is being
widened, hence there is no hope OF re-
constituting the Cabinet on the old basic
majority.
Chilean delegates to fhe Pan-Ameri-
can financial conference at Washington
have been appointed as follows: Alberto
Edwards chief of the Statistical Bureau,
former Minister: Luis IzQuerido, a
prominent politician, who was a dele

Wilson q Shattered Idol.
The political phase Of the struggle now
going on is commanding more and more
attention, judging from the character Of
the manifestoes which the Italian and
French Socialists are issuing now in
which both strive to impress upon the
masses the idea that capitalism as rep
resented In the bourgeoisie is conducting
a fun fiedged war against the worker
as represented by the Russian Soviets.
This and the unfulfilled promises Of
President Wilson appear to be the two
'SoNhib hcdsutcc Ol campaigns Wn1Cn 1Or
vindictiveness may surpass anything yet
seen In those countries. For the Social
irts of all stripes President Wilson now
seems to I'LL the role of shattered idol.
Thus Popuiotre, the leading Socialist
newspaper Of France. speaking of the
approaching birth of the League of Ma
tions. says:
Its mother is the capitalistic bour-
geoisie: its father the old Tiger Glenn
enceau, used to the parliamentary Jungle,
and the Jesuitical Protestant Wilson has
blessed the union. II the infant re-
scmblee It's father or its mother 1t Will
be a beautiful monster"
Attacks on the League OF Nations and
whitening scorn for President Wilson
for the way In which he applied his
principles here I'LL the Socialist news
papers In both countries, which, when
he landed first in Europe, were his loud
est supporters. In Italy the Socialists
have taken as their official emblem that
Of the Russian Soviet republic, of which
their manifesto says:
= The sole new ray Of light which ap-
pears amid the thick shades Of war is
the light OF the Russian revolution,
which to-day is resisting the Holy AL
lance. the milliards Of Clemenceau, the
tanks OF Lloyd George and the snares of

letartat which will suppress in the COM
