document of facts It fellows:
Picking Professors Manifesto.
1.-THE tragedy which has taken
place in the international settlement
of Shanghai has filed the Chinese
nation with horror and indignation.
However, facts have been invariably
distorted by different agencies for
different purposes.
Seeing that Misrepresentation
would not only aggravate the injus-
tice done to the dead and the living
but may also tend to ferment other
grave conflicts between the Chinese
and foreigners, we feel il our duty to
give the facts for the information Of
the world at large. Those who think
with us that international harmony
and justice are desirable will not
fail, we trust, to pay due attention to
the matter.
Facts Are Clear.
THE facts are clear enuf. Strikes
of Chinese workers. demanding in
crease Of wages. had been going on
for some time in the japanese cotton
factories at Tsingtao and Shanghai,
and a striker was shot and killed by
the Japanese without any justihable
cause. Against this brutal act some
Chinese students. who were merely
young boys and girls, paraded as
manifestation of protest in the streets
Of Shanghai on May 80 last. They
were armed with nothing more than
pamphlets and handbills.
"The police of the international
settlement, which are practically
under the complete control of British
officials and consul, not only saw fit
to prohibit the demonstration but also
arrested a number of the students
taking part in it. Then the rest of the
students went OF the police station de-
manding the release of their fellow
students.
"shoot to Kill" Was British Order.
"The police ordered them to dis
perse. AS they refused to go, Brit
ish police inspector ordered. shoot to
kill" Six of the boys were killed
on the spot and over forty were ser
iously wounded. This did not, how
ever prevent the defenseless students
from repeating their demonstration,
so the firing of rifles and machine
guns continued by the British-con-
trolled police for at least six days.
''The exact number of casualties is
still understandable, but most reports
show that a. least 20 were killed and
800 wounled. They were all Chinese
and no. single British or any other
national lpedrs on the casualty list.
Deliberate Murder Lasted Six Days.
Would any right-minded people re-
gard these boys and girls as rioters
and treat them to rounds Of machine
gun bullets? Could their manifesto
ton be reasonably interpreted as
"antiforeign" or "Bolshevized," as
some foreign-owned news agencies
suggested? Were not the acts of the
authorities deliberately committed,
considering the fact that they did not
cease for a period of six days Why
did not the British and JAP irsge min
listers in Pekins give instructions 70

PICKING, China, May 15.-(By
Mail. Mot many days ago the an
niversary Of the presentation of the
Fl demands arrived and a national
humiliation day was the result. There
had been planned a general protest
meeting of the students of Picking
but by an order of the new minister
of education the meeting would APP
parently not take place.
In spite of this order about four
hundred students from sundry schools
including christian schools came out
and determined to hold the protest
meeting. They attempted to gather
and proceed with the meeting in Cen
trail Park, but were stopped by the
police. Having been forbidden the
use of the park they marched off to
Coal Hill.
On Hunt For Traitorous Official.
There they passed resolutions of
protest and proceeded to state them
in person to the Minister Chang Shin
chao, They went to his Office and were
told that he was at home. At his home
they were told that he was at his
office.
Enraged, they we're proceeding to
enter the house when squad of police
arrived and one of the students was
killed. The police arrested eighteen
of the alleged leaders and the mob of
righteously indignant students was
for the time dispersed.
Masses Like a Living River.
The next day, Saturday, in the after
noon all the students of the east,
west and south cities joined in the
forces, and as the Far Eastern Times
states: The combined forces poured

las far as could be estimated the
columns we're a mile long and num-
bered about 5000 in all, groups of
women students being among them.
AS the men marched they uttered
short, sharp cries, demanding punish
ment for those who had ill-treated
their comrades on humiliation day
The effect of this massed shouting was
extremely dramatic and awe-inspiring
and great crowds soon lined every
yard of their advance"
According to a report made by the
committees representing the students
there were forty educational institu-
tions represented.

A NATTER or DIGNITY
(Detrojf NpWS)

A contributor TO column east

Little Dignity Chaser. To-wit:.
'Looking over the beautiful cars
at the auto show and riding home
in your 1921 I.iZZie--O. NJ Y"
With no IDEA of becoming pain
fully moral over the matter, it is
our theory that the dignity man
loses by driving a mature flivver
home from an auto show is the
kind he can profitablv get along
without. True dignity rests on
things more substantial than the
appearance of a slightly decayed
1t might better rest
on the fact that 1927 Lizzie is
probably paid for. The car. as
chariOts go, may be nothing to stun
the neighbOrs, hut if the whole
title to ii rests in the man who
drives it it is submitted that his
dignity is better served than by
possession of a. gilded vehicle with
more mortgage paper on it than
there is canvas on a covered Wag-
on.
o. NJ. Y. probably bought his
1921 Lizzie for two reasons. He
could afford it and it promised to
take him where he wanted to go.
If it still carries him home from
an auto show safe and sound, the
latter reason remains good. If he
can afford a car now that OlfendS
his esthetic sensibilities less than
his Lizzie he can make the invest
ment with no loss of dignity. If
he cant afford it and makes the in
vestment anyway his dignity will
suffer immeas urably more than il
does on account of the appearance
OF his venerable fivver. There
isn't a whole lot of real dignity in
debt, especially unnecessary debt.

New York, Feb. 20.---The Bowery's
first mission has just been sold by
an Irishman to a Jew. 1t was the
Camp Memorial Congregational
Church in Chrystie street.
The church originated in Centre
street across from the Tombs, in the
cradle of crime and the nursery of
when Yankee Sullivan, the prize
fighter, ran saloon next door and
before Salvation Nell or her sisters
appeared among the hoodlums.
The mission employed a creed that
appealed to men of all faiths and it
flourished while churches of various
denominations failed. In 1889 it was
received into the Congregational
church.
One Of the most memorable events
that occurred within the shadow of
the church was the Fourth of July
riot in 1857 between the Bowery
Boys and the Dead Rabbit Gang.
Clubs, guns and. fists were used by
the men in the streets while women
brick chimneys to get missiles for
the fray.
The last use Of the church was
that OF a refuge for Mr.. Zero and his

continued as that, but the health and
police authorities interfered. Then
