Propose Secret Order to DO Away
with Corrupt Officials.

Pel<in, China, March 9.-With the
object of doing away with corrupt
and dishonest officials and to bring
about better government. China's
younger generation has launched a
movement to form a secret society
based on the principles of the Ku
KluX Khan.
China is the home OF secret socie-
ties Articles in the foreign press
have impressed a certain faction of
the younger Chinese with the idea
that an organization like the Ku KluX
Khan would be a weapon that could
be used to advantage in cleansing
the countrys political life. The mys-
terry secrecy, glamour and symbolism
particularly the latter-appeal to
the Chinese mind as weird ceremon'
ials always have.
1t was a secret society that brought
about the TAPPING rebellion, which
cost the country many millions of
lives and set the foundation stone
for the eventual overthrow of the
Manchu. Another secret society
brought about the Boxer uprising in

Great Britain and France divided the

that young Ward was not dealing with

There is not the slightest ground,

Tho long appeal to the American

1.-THE Syrians placed all their hopes
in the support of the liberal Amer

erty and independence. We assured
which Charles r. Crane was chair
man, of our desire for freedom and
the absolute refusal of the mandate.
Though Washington. acceding to the
wishes of the imperialists Of Europe.
suppressed the Crane report, Syrian
was undiminished. AS the French
occupation became severer. more cor
rupt and more cruel. the Syrians al
ways looked to the United States.
"Today's news, if true, that the
United States permits the imperialist
powers to confirm the mandates. gives
a death blow to Syrian hopes and
repudiates the noble principle of the
liberation of subject peoples and
their right to self-determination. The
Syrians appeal to the most liberal
people in the world. convinced that
they will respond to the prayers Of
an oppressed nation. Its leaders have
been imprisoned, exiled or killed, and
the country is suffering from a reign
Of terror. Still it dreams of liberty
