Here the Chinese have been doing their
bit toward construction, after the great
destruction wrought by the rest or the
world. Under the control of British and
French officers the Chinese sanctioned
enrolment by the British government of
approximately 10000 coolies, and 10000 by
French government to work behind the
lines in France
Contrary to the general opinion, !
found the Chinese very responsive" com
mented DIR. Harris They have willingly
loaded and unloaded ships, dug reserve
trenches, worked in munition plants, re-
paired roads, and built railroads; and
after the armistice, cleared the battle
fields, and buried the dead. When con-
trolled by men who understood eastern
character, their work was exceptionally
good. Numbers of them lost their lives
in air raids, and by accidental explosion
behind the lines.
II saw one coolie get his distinguished
service medal from the British govern
ment for extinguishing fire single handed
| in a burning ammunition dump.
| you know this was an exceptionally
brave act" praised DIR. Harris. land his
medal was an honor second only to the
Victoria Cross
| And candidly, I don't believe that brave
young ,coolie was any happier over the
honor than his Y. M. c. A. friend, whose
| frank gray eyes were trimming with joy
| as he told me about his Chinese hero who
| had never sought a soldiers glory of war.
! To work among the Chinese laborers,
| the International Y. M. C. A. committee
| sent about 160 secretaries, of whom the
majority were Chinese students in Amer
| lea Their work consisted in preaching
and teaching, supervising movies, ath-
letics, conducting canteens, and doing
everything that was done for American
! troops
Necessarily, during their experience of
the war" DIR. Harris regretted, 1.-The Chi
nese were brought in contact with some
of the most unlovely phases of west
| ern civilization. 1t would have been ca
lamitous had these returned to be scat
tered over China conveying the impress
sion that this was the only kind of civ
| ilization the west has. The Y. M. c. A.
| has endeavored through the Chinese stu
dents, and missionaries are using their
best efforts. to counteract evil influences
Of the coolies experiences.
| "You can readily picture the return of
| Chinese laborers relating their expert
ences in France in some Chinese tea
house, and all Chna's life colored by
these stories?" questioned DIR. Harris.
| WELL" he explained, 1.-The Y. M. C. A.
and others, have gone with mission to
offset just such influences now in China.
| Enthusiastically the work of the Chi
nese in France has been of the highest
value not only from Christian but an
| international standpoint" was DIR. Har-
ris' parting assurance.
And it is noteworthy fact" he
seemed to coax this noteworthy fact from
the depths of his soldier cap as he looked
thoughtfully into it--"that about 70 per
cent of all, the Chinese who went to
France were from the province of Shan
1 tung"
