CHINESE WILL USE
 THE PHONETIC SCRIPT

SHANGHAI, May L. Chinese of- future generations will write in pho netc script and use a typewriter with only go characters instead of plying a brush to draw 10000 or more hicroglyphics if mission work CTS succeed in an effort they are making to rcvolutionizc handwrit- ing in use in China for more than LOCO years. The work of the mis- sionarieS is at least beginning to receive hopes that eventually the Chinese brush, ink block and ink table will have to go to give place to more modern methods Of commu- nicatjnG ideas.
 Their purpose is not only to sim plify China's handwriting system but to give, the country a common tongue to replace the preSent-day babel which renders even the na- tive who is away from his own hon' district almost as helpless as a for aigncr.
 The system of phonetic script now urged upon the Chinese was worked out in England in 1903 by Wang Chao. Besides it's go characters, it ,ou...as 10 numerals. There are 10 capitals.
 Rev. E. c. TcwkSbury, of Shang- hai, secretary of the China Sunday school Union, and a member of the Phonetic Promotion Committee, who mas devoted 30 years to teaching n China, has put the new script .nto use on American typewriters with complete success. For this purpose typewriters with black type faces are obtained from the factories and the characters are cut from these faces here by Chinese en- gravers.
 That the Peking government at caches importance to the effort be- .ng made is seen in the following excerpt from a recent mandate ls- sued by the Ministry of Education
 We recognize that because ot the difference between our classical and spoken languages, education Tn the schools makes slow progress and .he keen edge of the spirit of the union. both between individuals and in society at large, has thereby been blunted. Moreover, if we do not take prompt steps to make the written and spoken language the same quickly, any plans for devel- oping our civilization will surely fail.

TANK MEN WANTED

Men are needed in the tank corps If the United States Army. George Goshaw. fulman who came out from the interior last week and went south ,n the Northwestern, received a great amount of mail from the tank head quarters, 32Sth Battalion, Camp Meade Maryland. During the war Mir. Goshaw was the organizer of the tank corps, in the mail received here was d second letter asking for tank men. The letter says;
 We were perfectly frank in our first letter to you in stating that the Tank Corps needs more men, if the Corps that you helped originate is to be perpetuated it is essential that 1t be filled to it's authorized strength of 250S men. A good many of you must be helping, because the rate that re- cruits have been arriving has certain. Ely taken a jump. When We wrote you last. there were about $50 men here hardly as many men as we have Tanks -; now there are over ll00 Accept our thanks for helping us put this ov- cr for the Tank Corps, and keep up the good work.
 When you pick out man that would make a good Tanker, suppose you put our proposition up to him on 9 purely business basis. Here is what a young fellow is up against in civil life while he is learning a trade; He pays his own tuition if he is attending a trade school, or else has to draw on his parents income.
 He pays for his room and board, $40 to $60 a month. He pays for all his clothing, hats, shoes, etc., about $200 year. He pays his own doctor and hospital bills.
 His living conditions are not ordi- nariiy as pleasant as they might be. His working day is devoted to rou- tine grind with few variations. lie has few opportunities for ath- ,eticS and sports.
 ne IS offered no stimulus for phy- cal development.
 He pays cold cash for everything he gets.
 asst to this what the Tank .o.ps has to offer. Note the more at active associations, the brighter liv- ag conditions, the more picturesque surroundings, thc incentive to physic- .4l development, and the training III selfcontrol. Here's what your Tankers will get:
 His training in a skilled trade - - as part of his pay.
 His board and lodging - as part of his pay.
 His clothing, hats, shoes, etc, - as part of his pay.
 His doctor and hospital bills - as part of his pay.
 lis chances for promotion are ex- cellent, as we now have $50 vacancies in the non-commissioned grades.
 His chances for travel and adven- ture are of the best. It is the present plan to send Battalions, as soon as they are trained, to the various Re gular Army Divisions for maneuvers
 He is kept physically fit.
 He is taught self-discipline he lives among healthy, wide-awake-mer CT much of his time is spent in the open in healthful surroundings and he be- longs to an organization with his tory of which he can be proud.
 All this costs him nothing.
 When you meet any young mar who is eligible for the Service, tel him some of the facts, and add per hapS some of the more interesting o1 your own experience in the Tank Corps, You might give him copy Of
