squandtFed by certain high govern

The Certain high government au-
thorities" were the tuchuns under
Japanese or allied control
THE second point was;
2. Although the war participation
bureau has been established for
some time in Picking, nevertheless
It has done nothing to assist tho
allies, and it is rumored that part Of
the troops who were originally
trained for services In Europe have
been mlsused for civil war in GER
tain proVlncse Of China.
1t is only necessary to say Of this
that the war participation bureau
formed under allied direction had tax
en- all such matters out Of the hands
Of the Chinese foreign office. Fur
Their, when China declared war, no de.
mand was made that she take an ac-
tive part in hostilities.
Point three shows that the imperial
list powers considered that even in the
most minor matters China had no
right to exercise her own judgment:
8. Without previous consultation
or knowledge Of the allied powers,
the Chinese government suddenly
appointed Tai ChenIin as China's
representative to the vatican.
THE Chinese wanted to make a
4 complete separation between
clerical affairs, certainly a very de-
sirable if somewhat hopeless task,
but the allied governments had no
wish to see the Chinese dealing direct
with the church authorities rather
than thru the allied embassies.
The next complaint is an admission
that the imperialist powers were wag-
ing war on German business interests

Woman Burned to Death
in Southside Fire Trap

A fire broke out on the south side
shortly after midnight in four-story
brick fiat building on 33d street near
Cottage Grove avenue in which many
are believed to have been burned to
death. So far the body of Negro
woman was found amidst the ruins.
The fire started on the upper floors
of the building and spread very rapid
ly until the whole building was in
flames. The building, a typical FIRE
trap, had very narrow passage ways
and fire escapes. Those who escaped
from the flames had gone thru such
fierce struggle and were so excited
that. the firemen had difficulty in dis
covering what had happened.
1t is expected that a search of the
building will reveal many more VIC
Tins of the fire.

The EnSIaven1e1t Of China

9. The prohibition Of Chinese
subjects to trade with the enemies
az promulgated by the last cabinet
was not carried out by China.
7. II was known to everybody that
the Hotel Du Nord was enemy prop
erty and 1t was used as headquart-
ers Of enemy subjects In North
China for their unlawful conference
es and activities against the allied
cause; that the Chinese government
did not do anything to close It until
the matter had been many times
brought to the notice Of China by
the allied legations In Picking. This
is a strong witness that China does
not intend to help the allies to
check German activities.
8. In spite Of the protest Of the
allied legations, the Chinese govern
ment has done nothing to punish
the Taoyin or Nelho, Of HeiIuna-
klans, on account Of his pro-HoIshe-
VIk German actions.
9. The lack Of sincerity on the
part Of the Chinese government au-
thoritles In conducting cases con-
corning allied subjects and enemies
and the arrested enemy subjects
was quoted as an example, because
China refuses to permit allied con-
suls to act as witnesses In the court.
10. The enemy lnternment camps
are not properly conducted, and In
consequence many dangerous Ger
mans are not informed at all. The
action Of the Chinese authorities In
certain cases is quite unsatisfac-
tory to the allies.
THE next point is an example OF un-
4 paralelled inpudence. Civil war
had been fomented by the actions of
the allies and they were now com.
planning of the results of their own
plots.

rather than on German military
strength In the Far East:
4. The effective manner In which
the Chinese government have acted
towards the liquidation Of enemy
properties in China Is unsatisfao-
tory to the allies, as in the case of
the Observation-Disclosures Bank, etc.
TT has been pointed out in previous
L articles that the Chinese had no
quarrel with the German business in
terests as against those of other ma
tons, that the Germany policy had
been far more friendly and respectful
Of China's integrity than had the
other imperialist powers.
5. The movements Of enemy sub
Jects in China are not effectively
scrutinIzed by the Chinese govern
ment authorities, so that dangerous
Germans, such as Hanneken and
others, are not informed up to the
present time. II is said that the
recent dispute between the AmerI-
can-Mongollan Trading company
and the General Tien Chung-yu Of
chabar was also mentioned-in this
category.
TINE above is direct interference
\ with the internal affairs of China
in manner calculated to arouse the
keenest resentment. China was, the
oretically at least, an independent ma
ton; she had declared war on Ger
many as one of the allies, but it was
not the business of those nations how
German subjects were treated by the
Chinese government.
The other point down to and includ-
ing Point 10 were similar instances of
interference in China's own affairs
pin pricks administered to inculcate
the proper feeling of respect for the
dominance of the imperialists.

ARTICLE X.


OF the many insulting notes sent to
~ China during the war period by
the allied legations, with the inten-
ton of convincing her Of her utter
helplessness in the face Of the solid
front of the imperialist powers, the
following, sent October 20, 1918, was
typical. Each point is a studied in
suit as we'll as warning that China's
only task in the war to aid the allies
in eliminating Germany.
1t has been explained in an earlier
article that China's chief reasons for
entering the war were to escape the
payment of the Boxer indemnity to
Austria and Germany, to secure badly
needed loans and to insure herself a
at the peace conference on an equal
footing with the other powers, Japan
particularly.
THE loans that were made were

ors under allied domination to their
own purposes. This served to inten-
sify civil strife and weaken the Chin
csc nation, while the allies looked on
approvingly Nevertheless the first
point in this note, with a shameless
| ness hard to beat, says:
I. At the commencement Of
china's declaration of war against
the central powers, the allied gov
ernments agreed to the postpone
ment of the payment of the Boxer
indemnity and other privileges in
the hope that the Chinese govern
ment would use the proceeds for
the betterment of china's industry
and economical conditions to the
mutual advantage of both China and
the allied powers; but, TO the dis
satisfaction of the allies, it is report
ed that the proceeds have been

permitted to overrun the districts
along the Tientsln-Pukow and Lung.
hal railways, so that allied Interests
are suffering greatly on account Of
these bandit activities.
The last point is the gem Of the col
lection:
IL. There Is still ample time for
China to do something to satisfy
the allied powers; as ono Of tho
members, the Chinese government
will pay attention to the twelve
points enumerated by the allied rep
resentatlves so az to gain for China
equal rights Of speech In the future
peace conference In Europe.
Over the head OF China Point u
held the threat of denial of represen-
tation at the peace conference. There
is no use denying that this was a pow
erful weapon and that it made the
Chinese comply with many Of the de-
mands Of the allies which served only
to put her almost completely at their
mercy.
EVEN after the signing Of the armis-
- tice the Chinese president was
forced by categorical statement de-
nying China representation at the
peace conference in the event Of re-
fusal, to issue order for the deporta-
ton of German subjects and for the
confscation of German property in
China.
1t remains now only to show the
seizure Of certain Chinese territory
by Great Britain during this period
and what happened at the peace con-
ference to close this sketch OF the
process by which the Chinese nation
and people were enslaved by the i'm
perialist nations.
These subjects will be dealt with
in the next installment.

The swallowing of the Amalgamated

that the workers will be tied hand

This committee presented list Of
questions to Baine to be answered for
the benefit OF the stitchers. These
questions were pertinent as they dealt
with the question Of local autonomy,
the right to strike, the election OF
local officials, and whether the Boot
