By Joseph Plummer.

Late in January, 1921, a shipload of
food for the starving Chinese left San
Francisco harbor for Shanghai. After
a long voyage of ten days it reached
the port. On arriving there, the cap
tain was surprised to see so many
junks and other boats in the harbor.
The junks swarmed around the YES
sci. When we had locked, the junks,
employed by the Chinese government,
were soon loaded with the food for the
starving people. 1t was then convoy
ed by land to the northern provinces,
where the famine is worse. At every
town the people were called together
and given a portion of the food.
But alasi it was a mere handful to
these starving people, because there
are thousands of them. | ask all the
people of this city to contribute to
these suffering people. 1t only takes
three cents a day to feed a Chinese.
Surely We a all feed at least one
starving Chinaman for one day. Kind
ly send in your contributions to the
editor of this paper, and he will for
ward it TO the National Committee.
YOU.

The poor, hungry, ragged Chinese,
sit, walk or stand from the rising of
the sun, to its setting; from day in
and says, "They seem to be waiting;
waiting for help or DEATH"
Then if you will look up a winding
ing, m the once wealthiest mar in
the village. His once happy family
are almost gone. Those left are starry
ing. They seem to be waiting also.
The ragged, starving crowd surges
forward, still with that waiting, hop
ing look upon their wasted faces. Let
us follow them. Down the winding
roads, and steep terraces; through
muddy streets and alleys, on and on,
till at last they reach the muddy black
waters of a nearby river.
They hasten their steps to the wharf
and run until they reach the edge.
They peer into the distance.
If you were there, you too would
strain you eyes for what was a glor.
ious sight to those poor starving crea-
lures.
Alas! alas! what is coming? Do you
not hear the strange glad jabber of
the people in their native tongue?
All coming nearer, nearer, is a huge
American steamer. A relief ship from
the worlds greatest brother. 1t lands
and such shouting and yelling of Chin
csc words was never heard before.
The var and hollow faces become
brighter and their step quickens as
they hurry toward the relief station
to receive a bit of food. All, there
was eve such a brother as the good
United States or such a welcome ship
ever to enter a harbor.

DEBATERS
 ARE AGAINST WAR
WITH UNITED


 Tokio, Jan. 14-Student debaters of Tokio are opposed to war with the this qualifying phrase having been added to the announcement made af- ter recent debate on the subject: War Or Peace?"
 The meeting was under the aus piceS of student leaders from Waseda University. While the general tone of the youthful students of the inter national question was that the United States, by permitting California to take the action that state has taken, had discounted the appreciation felt by all Japanese for Americas early help in-Japanese struggles, it was the general opinion that a fight with cap- italists at. home should precede- any outside conflict.

further in condemning both dress and dances. He terms these dances as immoral sins" Addressing a huge conx1 egation from the pulpit of No tre Dame Cathedral, Cardinal Dubois told his listeners that he had that day sent out a letter to all his clergy in which he said in part:
 s'We entreat our diocesans to react against fashions which are opposed to Christian decency.- We recall that conseientious1y Christian women and girls cannot, under any pretext take part in the unseem1y dances, most of which have an exotic origin and name. We remind the confeSsors that, on these points as on all others they ought to apply the rules of nor al theology.' 6

 words cannot keep Parsiennes out of dancing halls which today are, as ever, crowded.
