may safely be augured that the Chinese revos

mine of the present industrial system and
cause the explosion of the long prepared gen
eral crisis. which, spreading abroad will be
closely followed by political revolutions on the
Continent. 1t would be curious spectacle,
that of China sending disorder into the West
tern World while the Western powers, by
English, French and American war-steamers,
are conveying "order' to Shanghai, Nankin,
and the mouths of the Great Canal. Do these
order-mongering powers, which would attempt
to support the wavering Mantchou dynasty,
forget that the hatred against foreigners and
their exclusion from the Empire once the mere
result of China's geographical and ethnographi-
cal situation, have become political system
only since the conquest of the country by the
race of the Mantchou Tartars? There can be
no doubt that the turbulent discussions among
the European nations who, at the later end Of
the 18th century, rivaled each other jim the
trade with China, lent mighty aid to the ex-
elusive policy adopted by the Mantchous. But
more than this was done by the fear of the
new dynasty, lest the foreigners might favor
the discomfort existing among a large proper
ton of the Chinese during the first half
century or thereabouts of their subsection to
the Tartars. From these considerations, foreign
ers were then prohibited from all communica-
ton with the Chinese, except through Canton
town at a great distance from Pekin and
the tea-districts and their commerce restricted
to intercourse with the Hong merchants, IL
censed by the government expressly for the
foreign trade, in order to keep the rest of its
subjects from all connection with the odous
strangers. In any case an interference on the
part of the western governments at this time
can only serve to render the revolution more
violent, and protract the stagnation of trade.
AT the same time it is to be observed with
regard to India, that the British government

VEN HSI SHAN and Chang Kai-Shek are
now again fighting to add another link to
the endless chain of militarist wars in China.
This means that the suffering Chinese work
ers and peasants are pushed into deeper mud
and hotter fire.
But this the revolutionary mass will no long
er allow. They are now solidfying their power
to wipe out all cliques and factions of the revo-
lutionary camp. They are now establishing
their own rule, the rule of the workers and
peasants.
In the midst of this, the First Chinese So
Wet Congress has outstanding significance.
What Are the Soyets?
What are the Soviets? They are the state
apparatus of the workers and peasants. They
are the democratic state power of the workers,
peasants, the soldiers and the poor.
1t is only through the revolutionary struggle
of the exploited and oppressed to overthrow the
reactionary class rule by means of strikes, non
payment of rents, taxes loans and above all,
by means of direct armed attack and uprising,
that the Sovets can be established.
The establishment of the Soviet Power means
that the bourgeois class will be deprived of

BOOK REVIEW
Hitty. Her First Hundred Years
 By Rachel Field
Illustrated by Dorothy Lathrop

Illustrated by Dorothy Lathrop
 All grown ups, as well as children, who have not read Rachel Fields book, "Hitty," should do so without delay.
 It is the story of a doll, now the property of Rachel Field. Over a hundred years ago in the state of Maine she was cut from hickory wood. and rather erudely painted, although as the book says, she had "a pleas ant expression. Her first owners are not known. but not long ago she came into the possession of Miss Ruth Afford, whose Antique Shop, formerly on Sth street. New York, was one of the most attractive in that interest ing part of the city. Rachel Field and Dorothy Lathrop discovered her there; and falling a victim to her charms bought her. the book is the result.
 IL was such a success that Hitty has become a public character. AL though she has no press agent, she is almost as well advertised as movie actress; and occasionally appears In person. When Children's Week was celebrated at the New York Public Library, she was the most popular exhibit; the children were enraptured with her. Owing to her great age, she was shown under a tall glass globe. such as our grandmothers put over their wax flowers. She made such a sensation in New York, that when Children's Week was celebrated at a library in Maine, the committee in charge wrote Mrs. Field inviting Hitty to attend, saying that as Maine was her native state, 1t was fitting she should be the guest of honor; so she returned for time to the state of her birth.
 Dorothy Lathrop's illustrations are done from life, tafter reading the book. you realize Hitty is a real per son), in spite of her pleasant expres- sion" you can see she is not beauty, but she has what is more lasting per sonality. The story Rachel Field has woven about this little wooden doll is full of interest. Her adventures are varied and thrilling, she was ship wrecked on a whaling vessel, saved on a desert island, captured by savages, who worship her as an idol, became the property of missionary's child, a horrid little creature, called Little Thankful" was later the plaything of a Quaker child in Philadelphia. where she went surreptitiously to the opera to hear Ruth at her first appearance in that city, was hidden in an attic for years. was used by dress maker to show her work. and apparently has more lives than eat. Had Rachel Field never done anything but wrote "Hitty, Her First Hundred Years" all lovers of ehildren's books would still owe her a debt of grati- taae.

BELLERIEVE IN FINE
 FORM FOR TOWN TEAM
Youthful Twirler Enigma To Oxford Winning Run Scored In 9th-Wood-
 stock at Woodstock Sunday
Pomfret, 3: Oxford, ?


 Art Bellerive, youthful twirler, pitched fine ball for seven innings for the Pomfret Town Team against Oxford Sunday. The Oxford boys could not get familiar with Belle rive's slants and for the seven innings Arthur worked he only allowed six hits and caused nine of the Oxford batters to whif the air. With two men gone in the last of the seventh and man on second and third the batter hit back to Art and in his over excitement to retire the runner he fumbled the ball. In making a quick recovery he threw wild to first and allowed two runs Co be scored, the only tallies the Bay State boys were able to obtain. Murdock relieved Bel lerive after this inning and held the Oxford boys in check while the Town Team scored the winning run in the last of the eighth.
 Next Sunday the Town Team will play Woodstock in Woodstock.
 The Town Team greatly appre- eiates the generosity of Charles Swain in providing a new field which will be ready for use in the near future.
