Student Secretary In China, Relates Amaz ing Story of How 20,000 Stu dents Organized Themselves. y ... By BERNICE GRISWOLD. Miss Harriet Smith, for ten years % student secretary gf the Young Wom en’s Christian Association In Shanghai, China, relates the amazing story of how 20,000 Chinese students organized themselves to oust the militarists from Government offices in Peking and how they succeeded in becoming the lead ers of China. Fearing that China was not to be protected from the aggression of other nations by the Peace Treaty, as she had expected to be, some 20,000 stu dents, all of them between the ages of twelve and twenty-one years and in*' eluding 8,000 girls organized them selves Into the Chinese Students' Pa triotic Society Immediately after the publication of the first draft of the Peace Treaty to fight for Chinese rights. Their first move was to strike /rom school or, rather, from lectures, as they remained in their respective schools and spent so many hours dally In private study. They then organized into bands for getting out propaganda literature and for public speaking In the country and small towns »uid In the tea shops in poorer distrie* of the cities in order that they might reach the vast numbers of-people who could not readT __ 1 Immediately upon organizing, the students published their demands, four In number: (1) that the militarists, who as a party were pro-Japanese and practically controlled the Government at Peking, be put out of office; (2) that Shantung be returned to China; (3) that the twenty-one demands made by Japan in 1915 be cancelled; (4) that there be freedom of speech and of the press. They also insisted that the Chinese constitution be finished. An Immense amount of literature was put out, much of It in the new phonetic script which is being launch ed In China, so that the uneducated Classes might learn what was happen ing. Students lectured everywhere on the demands, stirring the people to pa triotism. When many of them were arrested while parading In the streets of Peking they formed an Association of Imprisoned Students within the prison and refused to be released, pick eting the steudeade themselves- when Government guards were taken away, until the Government submitted a proper apology for having Imprisoned them in the beginning. When it became evident that eco nomic pressure was all that would b« effective both the bankers’ and mer chants’ guilds were called upon to back the stuQents. “In less than two hours,” Miss Smith said, “the shutters were up at every shop In that great city of Shanghai, where telephones are few and communication difficult Every’ shop, Whether lar^e or small, was closed. The laboring people, feel ing as patriotic as the bankers, mer chants and students, also joined the general strike. For a week everything was closed—shops, money exchanges, fish markets, sh'pplng,' everything. The students struggled to keep public utilities running. The telephene serv ice was stopped for a short time, but the students soon had it running again. They held meetings day and night, try* MISS HARRIET SMITH VOf Chines* Y. W. C. A. ing to keep the riNlroad employees at their posts ahd explaining that it was patriotism for them and for water works and elecrlc light employees to continue to work. At the end of that week the students had won the first point and the militarists were out of power.” When suffrage In any form finally comes to China Miss Smith feels that It will be granted to both men and wo men because of tho way women are helping to build tilings up now. Wom- en»8tudents took an active part in all of this bloodless revolution. They had their'^ places on all of the councils. Their part of the work was to trans late much of the literature Into phonet ic, script and when a boycott was de- 'Jared on Japanese goods to begin pro duction of gopds In China. “All of the students threw away their straw hats—purely Japanese products—at the beginning of- their movement, and the wdmen students set about making white duck hats, which were called patriotic hats and Immediately became very popular. Then they began devoting themselves to the making of-parasols and of tal cum powder. Sone of them paraded but none waa arrested “China Is the last country In the world to fear class feeling and antipa thy, which seems to be gripping the rest of tlte world,” Miss Smith says. “In China there is a wonderful social solidarity. People get together, not so much by localities, but by trades and professions. * Every one belongs to a guild, and these guilds are wonderfully organized, as the Chinese, have a genius for organization. Despite poor llnoS of communication, lack of railroads and telephones, these guilds hold closely together. Yet their organ ization has nothing to do with caste. “With a leadership as highly organ ized as that of the students a great amount can be dgne. Leading- men of China Interpet the student movement as very significant—the forming of a new national party. It Is the duty of all Christian organizations in China to give these students, who are now the leaders of the Government, ©very pos sible bit of aid and inspiration, as they need more than human help to bring China out of her difficulties successful ly.

Miss Smith has seen Chin:; change, within ten years, from one of the old est and most rigid monarchies of the world Into a republic. She saw the first republican flags go up and feels that China has accomplished a great deal, tghtlng all the time a's she has, agafnst the great odds of Japanese ant) European aggression in addition to the old iponarchistlc party. Given time, China will become one of the great re publics of the world, she says, Miss Smith lives In Richmond, Va., and Is heme on a year's furlough. She expects t* return to China In the spring.' ■ * * • • • Take Notice! READ ALL! A. B. BLAKELY S BRO’S. r- i ' * • . -Oy • <1 ' , ‘ , ■*¥■ Wagon Works is the Place to Go Get Your Work Done.

You put the final Okay upon the use of certain materials and con struction when you buy a wagon containing them—and refuse to buy a wagon that does not. We want to show you how the Thornhill Wagon is built. Upon a plain statement of facts we are willing to rest our case. We believe the Thornhill way would be/saw way if you should build a wagon. For spokes and axles tough second growth highland hiftory u 4 used For hubs and felloes the sturdy white oak is preferred. This wood grows upon the mountain side. The ground is hard— the inmate severe. It has to fight for life. It has nearly twice th^urength of oak and hickory that grows under softer conditions. Outdoors under shelter it remains for three to five years. The sap dries in it, giving it a strength that’s kin to steeL THORNHILL WAGONS Long Wear Beds Full Circle Iron Trussed Bolsters and Mall—hie Front Houn Plato In turning and backing up, with the ordi- tary circle iron, which is only a half circle, wlsters run off the end of the track and It is difficult to make slu>rt turns and ill cii kick up. The Thornhill full circle iron Ives a continuous track on which the bol ters can turn. Fhe gears of Thornhill wagons stay in line for ife. Instead of the usual front hound plate, . hound plate of malleable Lon is used. It is i metal jacket braced at eight points that tceps gears from ever getting out of line. On the front bolsters of ThomhiH wagons are heavy iron plates running along top and bottom—connected by rivets that run clear through the bolster. Strength and lightness are combined. Rear gears are strongly ironed. There are braces on both top and bottom that extend the full length of the hounds. Solid trust bars extend the full length of the axles giving them double strength. If you examine the beds of Thornhill Wagons closely you will see at once the superiority of the construction. The bottoms are re-iniorccd over front and rear bolsters. Come in and examine this wagon for yourself. We will take pleasure and pride in showing you a Thornhill—The • wagon made of tough highland oak and hickory—with features all others lack.
