Rogation Day services in Trinity
Church were attended yesterday bv a
number Of visiting British merchants

Kind JOY and peace, but these in their
reality could only be obtained by the
habit of prayer. He said it was we'll

Of the large control foreign powers

have here.
That protest, If it does come. will be
no more Bolshevik than was the Ameri
can War of the Revolution. The whole
student movement and all that roes
with it is no more Bolshevik than any
other popular rising of any nation in
history to throw off the yoke of mill
tar1stic plunderers. 1t is essentially a
ton on the part of Ahe educated Chi
nese that they must break the control
OF their militarists. militarists as cruel
rs Germany's and doubly offensive.
because hopelessly corrupt, inefficient
and ignorant
And there is no chancellery on Lee
CATION Street In Peking, there ls no
foreign bank or foreign paper here
that does not recognize also tina. that
control must be broken if China is to
come out of its slough. If it can be
broken without the extreme of direct
action. so much the better: if it can
not then the exreme must come. If
China is to be put on its feet. if it is
to be saved, it must do it itself. And
this awakening of the Chinese people
to that need, this first concrete proof
of patriotism, has the enthusiastic
support of every foreigner living in
China. more particularly Britons and
Americans.
That is as far as BolshevIsm goes in
this country, and as far probably as 1t
will go. For real Bolshevisn:, for eco
nomic and social Rolshevism, for the
doctrine of the Moscow Soviet, there is
no more chance in China than there is
IN America; less. in fact. For the seeds
of real Bolshevism China are in stony
ground
1t would take a volume of analysis
of Chinese sociology to prove that in
detail but even the surface facts are
convincing. Xhere is no industrialism
There is no land question. BY far the
greater portion of the land is owned
by the peasants who cultivate it, in
strips small enough for one family
The whole weight of China's age-o old
tradition, the heritage of it's sages of
pre- Christian times. is against it. Be
sides what has Sovietism to teacn
/ China?
The multitude OF villages that make
up this country are virtually independ-
ent. ruled by their clans and their
headmen. The village is pretty much
a soviet, without the socialism or the
vigid collectivism. The family is pretty
much a communism, d patriarchal
communism. And they. have been
since long before Confucius gath
cred his disciples about him in the
heart of Shantung. And the over
whelming mass of Chinese are so fal
removed from foreign movements, from
foreign thought, that whole eras OF
transition would have to be passec
before they would become materia
for Bolshevik propaganda.
+, A few Western educated and highly
intellectualized Chinese there may be
who are responsive to soviet doctrine
Some Russian propagandists there I'm
doubtedly are But for the rest it may
be said that if Leninism does conque
the world one of the last stronghold
to submit Will be China. China's prob
lens are much too unique for it to b.
profoundly and Immediately af'ecte,
even by world movement.

The body or man found yesterday
on an ash dump at Bennett Avenue and
18th Street is thought by the police
to be that of victim of the poisonous
gases exhsled by the dump.
Their theory is that the man was
overcome by the fumes while taking a
short cut across the dumping ground
and that in falling he struck his head,
was nothing in the pockets to identity
the body. 1t Was taken to the morgue,
where an autopsy will be performed.

BERLIN, May 9.-General Erhardt.
before his flight from Muenster, is
sued a general order to his troops,
announcing he would resign az their
commander and was taking fight.
As a reason for his action, Erhardt
said he desired 20 avoid clash be
tween his marines and the government
troops. He expressed the belief that
the government had become more radi-
cal, had become more and more un-
table, and he doubted whether it
would long survive the present I'M
rest.
He suggested that if he were to
submit to arrest, instead of taking
French leave he would be thrown
INTO jail and after many months he
would be put on trial. after his mind
md body had been weakened by long
confinement and when he would be in
no condition TO defend himself.
The Nationalist newspapers approve
&c tone OF Erhardt's order, and some
of them even lonizc him. Their out
spoken attitude reflects in some meas
ure conditions which prevail here.
