the adventures of Doris Morse, d
young New York society debutante

Doris leaves home and goes to a
big summer resort where she en-
joys the simple pleasures of swim
ming and boating in the
delights of a day in an amusement

meets and falls in love with a young
architect and tells him that she is a
shop girl in that city. He follows
her to town and arranges to meet
her after closing hours in front of

begin to arise on account of her in

harder and harder to stick to her
resolutions-particu as she is
beginning to long for expensive new
clothes. How she is led through a
maze OF extraordinary adventures is
cleverly worked out in the play,

PASS BACK CHARC IS UP To AMERICA
This Country Can Sway the
Destinies Of China.
G.. s. Bishop Tells of Duties at
the c. offC. Today.

1t lies within the power of America
TO sway the destiny of China. This is
the substance of the assertions made
at the Chamber of Commerce this
noon by c. S. Bishop, special repre-
sentative of the International ~ NJ. c.
A. in China.
Bishop was speaking of the position
China occupies in the world today, of
the forces which must be considered
in contemplating her future, and OF
the possibilities of American enter
prise changing the course of events in
the Celestial empire. s@ 57t-
The speaker asserted that 100 Chris
tan American leaders sent to China
could entirely sway the destiny OF
China by working as co-partners with
an even score of Chinese leaders. He
declared that China recognizes the
principles of the Golden Rule and that
her leaders are ready to lend every
effort to an ironing out of the present
civil difficulties which are being To-
mented by Japan.
At one point in his talk Bishop char
acterized Japan as the Hunland of the
Pacific, and asserted that the follow
ers of the Mikado are committing such
deprcdations in China as the most de-
PRAYED of the kaiser's soldiers would
pe ashamed TO be connected with. He
cited the fact that Japan is sending
shiplOadS of morphine into China to
be sold in the public shops in the
hope that the race of Chinese will be-
come so addicted to the drug that they
will be unable to stem the-tide of
Japanese exploration.
Topeka's part in"helping China TO
evade the destiny plotted for her by
Japan. Bishop declared, was the re-
turning of George Lerrigo to his post
in the far east A sum of $4,000 is
necessary for this, and the campaign
is>now under way here to raise the
sum for the sending of the Topekap
back to his post. Bishop said that W1l
Ting Fang. leader of the. Chinese
party of the south, considers Lerrigo
as one of the most powerful influences
for good in the southern part OF
China 81
