Gen. WI Pei Flu. in order to assist
him to organize stable government
in China.
The American minister received
our representative and informed him
that there was no foundation for ihe
preceding statement. No proposal had
been made to support any indiv dual
leader nor had any plans for the or
ganiZation of government been dls-
cussed. The subject of discussion had
been the disarmament resolution or
the Washington conference, and tho
opportunity now present for China TO
carry this measure into execution.
The American minister further oh
served that his government maintained
a policy of non-intervention in the H.

American consular officials to observe
the most scrupulous neutrality and an

attached thereto f1fty-two stamps of
1900 ruble denomination and four
stamps worth 1000 roubles each.
making q total Of 396,000 roubles.
Can one really realize that? The
stamps-hfty-six Of them-hung
from the envelope like the bridal
trains Of old. Just imagine II the
denomination were reduced to- ko-
pecks (cents) what a myriad of
stamps there would have been.
Under the czarist regime. this to-
tai Of rubles (dollars) would have
meant fortune for an ordinary
mortal-S1s7,500 in American money.
Picture all that American money
spent for posting letter to dear
one! Heaven forbid.
The contents of the letter, as your
readers must know by this time, were
heartrending, to say the least. The
tone Of 1t was utterly helpless and 1t
behooves every righteous man who
loves humanity to help, even though
