WHAT THE CHINESE
LEARNED IN THE WAR

How the Chinaman was imprest IN
France is a question that Christian
missionaries to China are trying to
solve. Evidences are not wanting
that a reactionary sentiment has
sprung up in some minds coming in
contact for the first time with West
ern civilization. The war has had a
disillusionizing effect. On the other
hand, Christianity has gained some
converts. The Missionary Review of
the World (New York; presents the
situation: .,,
"It would be impossible to take
100000 Chinese out of their native
surroundings and transplant them in
France without producing a decided
effect on the life and thought of the
coolie laborers and upon their people
at home. These labor battalions were
distributed, in some 240 centers, help
ing to- prepare camps, make roads,
work on railroads, etc. Some forty
British and one hundred and nine
American and Chinese Christian
workers connected with missionary
societies and the Y. M. C. A. in China
were appointed to work with these
Chinese laborers in France. They
conducted welfare work, educational
classes, athletic, entertainment. and
religious meetings. Only 10000 of
the Chinese have returned home,
leaving nearly 100000 in France to
help obliterate the evidences of the
war and to reestablish French farm
ers.
Recently some sixty-nine of the
Christian workers met to consider
what phase of the work among the
Chinese must receive the most en-
phasis, how the results of the work
in France can best be conserved
when the coolies return home, and
how education can be given to the
mass of these laborers in their own
land. The effect of life in France
has been in some cases to disillusion
the Chinese, and cause them to feel
that their own Confucian ethics and
ideals are better than the form Of
Christianity they have seen in Eu-

WHAT THE NAVY DID.

The United States navy equipped
and manned the largest mabile guns
ever used in war, transported and
conveyed a large percentage Of our
army across the war zone, hunted
U-boats by sea and from the air,
manufactured and laid four-ffths of
the North Sea mine barrage, and did
a thousand and one other odd jobs
afloat and ashore. But it did a TAR
greater piece of work than any OF
these. It took some. four hundred
thousand young Americans from Of
flee stool, workshop, and pl'wtall.
and taught them its discipline and
traditions. It took careless lads and
made men of them. 1t took unthlnk-
ing college boys and schooled them
until they were fit for responsibility
and sent them to sea in charge OF
small craft. Millionaire's son and
farmers boy tried to measure up to
the high standard Of the service.
They learned the lesson that "there
are no excuses in the navy"
And these young men have brought
back to civil life some Of the new
things they learned. The unthinklng
chap who used to get drunk every
Saturday night and every holiday,
and who was always broke, has been
taught sobriety and thrift; he keeps
straight and owns Liberty Bonds.
The bully had his animal spirit di-
rected into channels Of usefulness,
and the reserved, shy boy learned
self-confdence. The idler has been
made to do his share of-each piece of
work, to attend to every duty, how
ever disagreeable, instead Of dele
eating the less pleasant ones to some
hireling. The individualist has learn
ed the value of teamwork and the
necessity of subordinating his de-
sires and preferences to the "good Of
the ship" The selfish have gained
some measure of generosity, and all
have benefited by an increased self
reliance, especially the difident.
Now that they are back, most of
them, what will they be and do?
Freed at last from routine and re-
straint, from drill and discipline,
what will be their attitude to the
daily task, to the present system of
eduation? Will they drop back into
work some of the lessons of their
naval life? The very wording OF
their old ways or bring to each days
the officers commission, Proposing
special trust and confidence in the
Patriotism, Valor, Fidelity, and Abil.
ities," seems to show them that the
spirit if for greater Importance than
the material. Our boys come back 10
us little changed in outward ap.
pearance; little straighter, a little
heavier, bronzed, and clear-eyed
They wear the marks of contact with
the navy, whether their service has
been on battleship or submarine, OF
in the grinding monotony of some
isolated naval base.-Colliers Week
