PEKING: A CITY WITHIN
A CITY

Until recently Peking, capital of
China, with it's 100000 people. was
one of the least known of the great
cities of the world. 1t took the Boxer
rebellion and the siege of the legations
in 1900 to open the long-closed doors.
Recently it has been in the headlines
because of revolutionary disturbances.
Peking is "city within a city" TIE
Chinese city, built in 1543, is the corr
mercial center. The Tatar city dates
from 1867 and includes the famo1s
forbidden City," of which the
Dragon Throne of the Son of Heaven,
Emperor of the Middle Kingdom, is
the center. The throne is of rare
wood exquisitely carved. Just back
Of it is a screen Of golden lacquer so
dainty in design and execution that it
gives the appearance Of golden lace.
Around this throne room are arranged
the palaces, shut in by purple walls.
The Chien-men street bisects the
Chinese city from the South GATE,
where the railway enters, to the prtn-
cipal gate in the wall separating tie
Chinese from the Tatar city. Along
this main thoroughfare there passes
continuous throng. There, too. may
be seen the springless passenger cart,
with its blue arched roof and yellow
wheels, corrugated metal tires, and its
awning sheltering driver and mule, or
the Mongolian camel, the ship of the
Asian desert; and, interesting above
all, the scarlet bridal chair with its
piece of bacon and parcel of sugar
hung on the back as an offering to the
demons who might molest the bride
while on her journey. Officials hurry
back and forth in the gorgeous chairs,
their coolies making great din as they
seek right of way. Noisy vendors of
amulets, and medicines Of ground tiger
bones to strengthen faint hearts, and
extracts of rat meat to make the hair
grow, add to the din.
On the east side of this roadway is
an enclosure of about one square mile
which contains the Altar of Heaven,
surrounded by shrines and temples, the
most important of which is the cir
cular, three-roofed marble Temple of
Heaven with pillars of Oregon pine
and roof of deep blue porcelain tiles.
Near the ornate Temple of Heaven
is the Temple of Confucius, ''the most
holy ancestral teacher"

go WEST" SAID GREELEY:
SPREAD OUT" SAYS
ELIOT

How are the evils that go with city
crowding to be avoided in the face of
the increasing congestion. of American
cities?
By making the cities more like the
country, is the gist of one noted think
ers solution of that question. Despite
the steady procession of country folk
to cities, their new environment lacks
many of the benefits of the places they
came from, in his opinion.
Charles W. Eliot world-famous edu-
Gator, in a communication to the Ma
tional Geographic society says:
"In order to cure the destructive
evils of present urban life and the
factory system, it will not be enough
to restrict the vices, to diminish the
pressure of poverty, to prevent de-
structive diseases. and prolong the
average human life. The human en-
vironment must be not only negative
ly but positively improved; so that the
whole people may have the oppor-
tunity to cultivate healthy tastes and
interests, to acquire just ideals of
pleasantness and beauty, and to learn
the value toward tranquil happiness
of that living with nature which city
congestion has within a single gener-
alton made almost impossible for null
| titudes,
"The present evils of city life and
| the factory system-bad conditions
which civilization has itself created
have developed their destructive forces
in this country in spite of the schools
and churches and of free political in
stitNtions and in spite of many hap
py influences from art, poetry, music
and the drama. Clearly, society needs
to develop new and better environ
ment favorable to both bodily and
mental health and to the attainment
of genuine happiness-not of mere
momentary excitement, pleasures and
| qualifications, but of solid content
ment, and the lasting satisfaction of
life enjoyed in quietness and peace.

California Senator Will Be

MARION. - Announcement made

California, that Senator Hiram John

acters had been cut by hand.
In the heart of the Tatar city is an

with yellow porcelain. Surrounding
the palace are the gardens. reception

The Pekingese are consumers only.
The trade of the city is small, although

POLAND ONCE THE SAVIOR
OF EUROPE

Poland, whose history is tragedy |
and whose people have been called
children of the Sum-" plays no new
role when she seeks to stop the on
saughts of the bolsheviki, for it was
she who once stayed the march of
the Turk across Europe.
A communication to the National
Geographic society sums up POland's
sad and eventful history as follows:
In size she outranked nearly every
nation of the continent Russia alone
of the European nations is larger than
Poland was at her greatest In popu-
lation she stood at the forefront of
Europe. Only Russia and Germany
had greater populations before the
war than are to be found in the lands
that once were Poland; for unparti
toned Poland had an area of $4,000
square miles, and the lands that once
lay within her boundaries support a
population of approximately so mil
lion. In area she was as large as the
former German empire Switzerland,
Belgium, Holland and Denmark to-
gether; larger than Great Britain,
Italy and Greece combined; larger
than Austria Hungary and Serbia in
one. Within what were her boundaries
there dwells a present population of
Great Britain and Belgium; larger
than those of France, Belgium and
Holland together; and matching that
| of the old Austria-Hungary.
Poland was three times partitioned,
and these partitionings were read
| justed between the partitioners by the
! Congress of Vienna in 1915. Where
the original partitions had given Rus
sfa 1S1, 900 square miles, Prussia $4,000
square miles, and Austria $4,000
square miles, the reapportionment of
the Vienna Congress gave Russia 220,-
500, Prussia $4,000, and Austria $4,000
square miles. Much of the land which
Russia secured, and particularly Kiev,
had been identified with Russia gen
erations before.
Poland, in the days of her greatest
area, extended from a point within so
miles of Berlin, on the west, to the
meridian of the sea of Azov on the
east; on the north it reached nearly
to the Gulf of Finland and on the
south down to the Khanate of Crimea.
What we now know as Russian
Poland is that neck of territory
stretching westward between the
Prussias and Galicia. This territory
has an area almost exactly equal to
that of New York, yet, in spite of the
fact that its extreme southern boun,
Diary lies north of the latitude of Win
nipeg. its population is as great as
those of New York and New Jersey

CLAIMS

The exploits of Gabrielle d'Annunzio
at Fiume, recalling the adventures of

city in the public eye.
If Trieste was the Bremen of Aus.

Hungarian kingdom, a close rival for
the brisk Adriatic trade of the period
before the war.
Fiume is another of those footholds
on the eastern Adriatic where Italians
clung fast despite the steady influx.
of Slavs in fhe interior, and, in this
case even into Fiume itself. Thus the
city bears evidence of early Italian cul-
ture, it figured as a potent Slav fac
tor in the turmoil of Balkan politics,
and it felt strongly the influence of
Hungary upon its thriving industries
and fast growing commerce.
Magyar gerrymandering caused it
to be annexed to Hungary in 1870,
despite the protest of Croatia to which
it had belonged since the revolution
of 1S4S-49. Tender consideration for
its value as a seaport, rather than for
its citizens, prompted it's establish
ment as a royal free town, making it
geographical slice of about seven
square miles cut out of Croatia.
Despite the Hungarian interest in
the city its pre-war population was 80
per cent italian and Slav, with the
Italians slightly predominant. Only
about half the remaining tenth were
Hungarians. The Slavs included
Croats, Serbs and Slovenes. AS i'm
