WHAT THE CHINESE LEARNED IN THE WAI How the Chinaman was imprest i France is a question that Christia missionaries to China are trying t solve. Eyidences are not wantin that a reactionary sentiment ha sprung up in some minds coming i contact for the first time with Wesl ? - * - 1 3 ern civilization, rne war nas naa disillusionizing effect. On the othe hand, Christianity has gained sora converts. The Missionary Review o the World (New York) presents th situation: "It would be impossible to tak 140,000 Chinese out of their nativ surroundings and transplant them i France without producing a decide effect on the life and thought of th coolie laborers and upon their peopl at home. These labor battalions wer distributed in some 240 centers, help ing to prepare camps, make roads work on railroads, etc. Some fort British and one hundred and nin V - . American and Chinese Christia] workers connected with missionar societies ana tne i. m. a. in c-nin: were appointed to work with thes Chinese laborers in France. The; conducted welfare work, educationa classes, athletic, entertainment,, am religious meetings. Only 20,000 o the Chinese have returned home leaving nearly 120,000 in France ti help obliterate the evidences of th< war and to reestablish French farm ers. "Recently some sixty-nine of th< Christian workers met to conside: what phase of the work among thi Chinese must receive the most em phasis, how the results of the worl in France can best be conserve< when the coolies rettfrn home, an< how education can be given to th< mass of these laborers in their owi land. The effect of life in Franc< has been in some cases to disilhisioi , the Chinese, and cause them to fee that their own Confucian ethics an< ideals are better than the form o Christianity they have seen in Eu , "BAYER CROSS" ON ASPIRIN ??

WHAT THE NAVY DID. * The United States navy equipped and manned the largest mabile guns ever used in war, transported and convoyed a large percentage of our I j army across the war zone, -hunted j j U-boats by sea and from the air, j ^ manufactured and laid four-fifths of j ^ the. North Sea mine barrage, and did j a thousand and one other odd jobs j afloat and ashore. But it did a far j greater piece of work than any of j i these. It took some four hundred j thousand'young Americans from of- . fice stool, workshop, and plowtail, and taught them its discipline and traditions. It took careless lads and made men of them. It took unthink- I ing college boys and schooled them j until they were fit for responsibility, I and sent them to sea in charge of | small craft. Millionaire's son and j farmer's boy tried to measure up to j the high standard of the service, j They, learned the lesson that "there j are no excuses in the navy." I Q And these young men have brought I a back to civil life some of the new | '? things they learned. The unthinking j j chap Tjrho used to get drunk every !j J ?i~U4. ntronr VlflHdaV. il I oaiuruwy iugui> ?uu ? ?, ( t and who was always broke, has been J y taught sobriety and thrift; he keeps j j straight and owns Liberty Bonds, j a The bully had his animal spirit di- j rected into channels of usefulness, j and the reserved, shy boy, learned j r self-confidence. The fdler has been made to do his share of-each piece of work, to attend to every duty, how^ ever disagreeable, ' instead of delegating the less pleasant ones to some hireling. The individualist has learn. ed the value of teamwork and the necessity of subordinating his de sires and preferences to the "good of the ship." The selfish have gained some measure of generosity, and all have benefited by an increased selfreliance, especially the diffident. Now that they are back, most of them, what will 'they be and do? Freed at last from routine and restraint, from drill and discipline, what will be their attitude to the daily task, to the present system of eduation? Will they drop back into work some of the lessons of their naval life? The very wording of their old ways or bring to each day's the officer's commission, "Reposing ?? -1 i. i. j /?j _ 11. i special trust, ana connaence in me j Patriotism, Valor, Fidelity, and Abil-, ities," seems to show them that the! spirit if for greater importanca than I the material. Our boys come back to us a little changed in outward appearance; a little straighter, a little heavier, bronzed, and clear-eyed. IU They wear the marks of contact with the navy, whether their service has been on battleship or submarine-, or e> in the grinding monotony of some :<j isolated naval base.?Colliers Weekie i . ly.
