..NEGLEcTING THEIR LANGUAGE
Younger Chinese Since the Revolution
Show q Preference for English
and French.

To Judge from the numerous arti-
,cles that are being written on China,
its literature Is not reaping great bene-
fits from the revolution. In the first
place, the Chinese language is be-
Ing pushed more and more into the
background. The younger generation
no longer receives the training It once
received In the Chinese Classics" and
hand in hand with this goes their
preference for foreign languages
English primarily, and then French,
with little German. 1t is, Of course.
impossible for q country to build up
q body Of national literature in for
eign language. Intellectually, how
ever, China Is making reassuring prog
ress. Its three greatest political
writer's, all Of whom have been active
now for nearlya quarter of a century
-Tschang-Schi-tung, Kang- -Yu-wei and
Liang-Kitschao-are as active as ever
In their efforts to save the nation from

or Egypt Poland.

For example, veteran OF 20,
with one years home service, would
compute his service as 3O5 days at
81. Multiplying $305 by 1887,
the arbitrary figure for his age,
would give him $773.78 This in
creased by 25 per cent would give
$967.23, the face value of his in
surance policy.
Cash payments will be made after
March 1, 1925. Insurance policies
will be issued as fast as the data can
be compiled. Loans may be made up
to 80 per cent of the current value
of the policies after two years from
the date of issuance. The policies
increase in value steadily from date
of issuance until their maturity af-
ter 20 years, when the full value of
the policy is payable.
Service between April 5, 1917, and
July 1, 1919, may be counted in COM
putting the adjusted service credit,
but enlistment must have been made
before November IL, 1918.
Women who served in enlisted per-
sonnel of the navy and marine corps
