One day Tommy and his mother
were out hunting. The snow was

mid-winter. And it had thawed and

quite hard, except for just about an

1t was not surprising that after the
european powers had thus continued

broke out in 1900. 1t was a rebellion
against foreign injustice, although it
was attended with such brutality that
the nations of Europen, with our own
country. united to put it down, which
result they accomplished in short OF

After the "BoXer war;" the nations
eXacted indemnities from Cilina of

the United States that the indemnity
paid TO our country was returned to

Japan and the United States got
nothing out of the Boxer war" but
when Japan made war against Russia
and whipped the forces of the car, she
took all the holdings of Russia, includ-
ing the Liaotung Peninsula with Port

sorbing Manchuria and Inner Mongolia,
and anneXing Korea.
During the World War Japan ousteG
Germany from Changtung and took

But in all these rapacious schemes
of the European Powers China was CIV

was Systematically robbed, and then
forced to pay indemnities to cover the
cost Of the robberics.
And poor Korea was treated as badly
