CHINA SEEKS SALT TAX

Peking Government Dispatches
Seven Warships to Shiherhwei,

SHANGHAI. January 13.-Seven
warships of the Peking governments
navy have left here for Shiherhwei.
near Yangchow, in the province of
Kiangsu, the commanders announc-
ing their intention of collecting the
salt duties there to obtain money
with which to buy food for their
sailors. The crews have not received
wages for six months. and their Off
GERS claimed before sailing that their
action was necessary to prevent
starvation of their men. Shiherhwei
is at the point at which salt is trans
ported from the region north of the
Yangtse river valley.
Notice of their intention was served
by the naval commanders upon the
president and cabinet. Their state
ment seeks to assure foreign inter-
ests whose loans are secured by the
salt revenues that the war craft will
take only enough money from the
salt duties to pay the overdue wages,
turning over the balance to the gov

Urges Campaign Against Cruelty to
Animals.

have been SO glad to read the let
ters you have lately published ask
ing that something be done to bring
about better treatment or poultry ana
food animals in the neighborhood or
Center market. 1t is cryring shame
for them to have to endure all the
cruelty which falls to their lot
through the hardheartedness or
thoughtlessness Of the people who
have them for sale. I think that one
way to accomplish some good Is for
everybody, especially every woman. to
enter a protest upon seing any fowl
or animal suffering in any way. The
dealers would then realize how many
people there are who object to neglect
and ill-treatment OF animals. and the
avoid such conditions would soon be-
come known to the marketgoers, and
those dealers would get the most
trade. This would teach the other
dealers a lesson in kindness.
1 wish to call attention to tho fact
poultry, at least, that exist around
Center market are found at all the
other large markets of the city and
at practically every grocery store
where fowls are sold. Consequently,
there should be a lot Of attention paid
Washington. Can't every. one-the
Humane Society agents, the police
men and the public-do their best to
achieve a reform in this matter? If
so, know we will see some encour-
aging results.
And, lastly, let ali Of those factors
for humaneness that I have enumer-
ated be constantly on the watch to
demonstrate with hucksters or other
persons who persist in carrying
chickens with their heads hanging
down. This is a cruel practice. and
there is law against it, and it should
not be allowed to continue. Kind
ness to animals ought to be stressed
in the education Of children in all
public and private schools, also in
Sunday schools, and sermons on this
subject should be preached for adults

Happiness Based Upon Truth
And Justice, Says Dr.: Wang

years is how to find a means of Sc
curing permanent peace throughout
the world. Disarmament was the for
mula that was worked out at the
peace conference at Paris; 1t is the
formula that is being worked out at
the present conference. Disarmament
Is good so far as 1t goes. and In say
ing so ! do not wish to be misunder-
stood as belittling the great and noble
work of the conference. but l do be-
lieve that something more Is needed
for lasting world peace: for dis
armament merely reduces the engines
of war; it in no way removes the
causes of war.
Peace Moral Conception.
Peace, after all. is q moral concep-
ton, and the moral aspect Of the ques-
tioa should not be lost sight Of. We
are all aware that nations have been
accustomed to deal with one another
in a manner in which no decent man
dares to deal with his neighbors. Ex-
tortion Is illegal and immoral. but as
between nations 1t Is dignified by the
Latin word ultimatum. If two men
agree between themselves to do some
thing illegal to a third person it Is
conspiracy. pure and simple: but in
international dealings this is known

ship. many causes for friction and
misunderstanding can be removed.
Raising the standard Of interna-
tional morality and promoting d
closer bond of international fellow
ship-these ] consider the corner
stones of lasting world peace.
I have read with great admira-
ton THE Creed for Believers in a
WarlesS World" as outlined by the
commission on international justice
and good will of the Federal Council
OF the Churches of Christ in America.
Upon that basis, 1 believe, also there
will be no wars. 1t is my fervent
belief that however profound your
knowledge, however transcendental
your philosophy and however benign
your religion, humanity will ever be
the sphere of your activity. In the
solution of great social problems. we
need only take into consideration the
human fact.
Speaks rs World Citizen.
On one July 4 Phillips Brooks was
asked to give sermon at West
minister Abbey, in London. He spoke
in terms of a world citizen and a
Christian prophet. and he asked the
English congregation to pray with
him that the blessings from on high
might rest upon the strange meet
ing of the races in America, of Whirh
new race is being born. and upon
all that the life of the United States
may mean to mankind. For God
means to build up in that land some
characteristic manhood which shall
help to complete the civilization of
the world
AS in individual relationship, one
nation should treat another as Il
brother. Only in this way can nation
al prejudice. bigotry and narrow
mindness. which are the principal
causes OF war, be eradicated. When
this new idea of international fellow
ship is instilled into the mind and
sowed in the breast of every living
soul. then injustice and selfishness,
which have so often been made the
basis of national policy and conduct,
will give way to justice and altruism
then the 'dreadnaught" and the
mailed fist" will yield to reason and
Righteousness, and Tennysons dream
of the parliament of men. the fed
GRAFTON of the world which was
merely poetic fancy, will be an ac-
complished fact.
''Cniversal peace and brotherhood
of men," which Confucius taught the
people of the east and Christ taugh,
the people of the west, centuries ago
will be something more than religious
gospel. The time will come when the
impasSioned lips of the worlds pa
triots will take up Symond's noble
hymn:
Nation with nation. land with land
CIarmed shall live as comrades free;
In every heart and brain shall throb
The pulse of one fraternity.

Member Of the Chinese delegation and chief
Justice Of the supreme court Of China.
Mankind from time immemorial has
been seeking for happiness. Gradually.
step by step. experience has taught us
that in order to have happiness truth
and Justice are the requisites. False
hood and injustice not only injure the
individual. but even great nations
have been reduced by the natural re-
action to their deeds into a state Of
misery and oblivion. Such great mot
toes as Liberty, equality and frater-
nifty" such human documents as the
Magma Charta and the Declaration of
Independence. and, in fact, all the
teachings of the great religions, have
aimed to give mankind the principles
or tenets by which the human race
might learn the secret of happiness.
Unfortunately. hitherto these teach
ings have not always been applied to
dealings between nations as between
individuals, SO that wars have not
been prevented, and. consequently. the
world Is still full of sufferings.
