was the buyer for a large concern in china for a long time and his honesty was un questioned among men with whom he dealt these same men refused to deal with mr yen's successor when yen accepted another posi tion the bishop also showed how much the educated people of china have to do with its welfare in the peace treaty there was a section which gave japan the control of the shantung peninsula the stu dents of china protested this but the government paid no attention a boycott was then placed on all japanese imports and by doing this cut them down 70 when the latter method of obtaining recogni tion failed all the students in all the high schools and higher schools of china formed a general strike which had great success for a while it had things so tied up that not a train boat nor vehicle of any sort travelled between cities in the peninsula in closing bishop hunt ington made a plea that more men especially chinese should follow the footsteps of mr yen and take up not only engineering but also mission work which is needed so badly in china at the present day class ballots last saturday the soccer team defeated a team representing haverford college by a score of 2-0

turkey was inevitable he said because in most of the former turkish possessions there were only one million turks in seven and hence it was very dif ficult for the government to repress uprisings under these conditions he explained the problems of countries like armenia syria algeria egypt and palestine and the reasons for the policies which larger powers took toward these small nations prof dorizas also exhibited slides depicting the customs and peculiarities of the mohammedans and also views of constantinople and other cities of the ottoman empire these views showed coolies doing the work assigned to horses and cattle in other countries and prof dorizas took the occasion to remark that a country which uses human beings as beasts of burden is not a civilized one he closed his talk
