AMERICANS URGED
TO EXHIBIT AT FAIR
Opportunity Offered to Gain
FoothoLd in East Indies.

A most favorable opportunity for gain
ing a foothold In the markets OF the
Dutch East Indies will present itself in
May next year, when a fair Is to be held
in Bandoeng. which is two hours by rail-
from Batavia, Java
American manufacturers should not
overlook the fact that the population OF
the Island Of Java alone is 30,000,00O.
The Glasses of goods which would find a
ready sale are Motor cars, cycles. lor-
ries and vans, motor boats. oil mill and
sugar mill machinery; engines of all
kinds, especially engines which can use
petrol. petroleum or petroleum residue !;
civil and sanitary engineering requisites !;
electric lighting. &C. planting requisites
and articles for native use: hollow
ware, boots and shoes, mining requisites
and portable railways ..
At the last pre-war fair Germany had
In operation complete portable rail-
way. At the coming fair It is proposed
to exhibit all articles Of foreign origin
necessary to start new industries or for
the Improvement and development OF
existing industries. including machinery.
&c. American manufacturers should
certainly avail themselves OF this oppor-
turity and make a good display of Amer
lean manufactures.
Another important reason why Amer
lean manufacturers should make good
show at this fair Is that. with the excep-
ton of few South American States, the
Dutch East Indies are the only coun-
tries in the world where Germans have
been free to trade during the war.
About 10000 Germans fed to Java AT
the outbreak of the war, and they have
not been idle. The Dutch Indies. In fact
are the point d'appuf' for any German
commercial expansion in the Far East
after the war.

PRECEDENT RULES

Local Self-Government Is
Based on Family Unit
.. Idea. 80. g..

Western appreciation OF the operation
Of China's social system requires the dif-
ferences rather than the agreements
First OF all appear two items. one
that Chinese institutions look back to
antiquity in which originated the pre-
cedents they still cherish most; another
that the family is the unit, not the In

Still every individual Is the son OF

preme power IL he have the supreme
virtue.
The administration of China's institu-
tons broadly divides into two general
phases, constitutional and local self
governments Con the family pattern).
1. Constitutional-The thirteen clas-
sizes, the histories, the works OF the
philosophers all over 1000 years old.
Herein are the presidents and the edu-
cational pabulum of the literati whose
attainments therein determine their quail
ifications for official rank.
2. The Application--Loca self-govern-
ment now bullxs larger far in China than
In any other nation. 1t all Is based
upon the family unit idea except the
villages, which are quasi corporations
membered by the store heads.
The upper power called the court, sub
divides into provinces, these into taos
and so on down. but the several authori.
ties are mostly appellate. as local self
governments usually attend to the regI-
lations Of justice matters and is rarely
appealed from.
The local self-government may call ir
the court or the culprit may appeal over
the head of the local self-governing au'
thority.
The government OF the family is In tho
