Those killed in the fighting were the special class of soldiers, known in China as “Pien-i-tui,” or the soldier in civilian costume, and the many who infested that district. In China, s of this nature are not required to a uniform. From their experience in long civil wars, they ha found it convenient and advantageous to wear wear their more civilian costume, or women's clothing. It is absolutely false that Japanese soldiers have killed helpless women and children or that they have committed the outrages re- ported. Some Chinese propagandize that Japan is going Shanghai and by and by ab- sorb other c s in China v material benefits could Japan get in taking those cities in China where there is an immense Chinese population with a very low standard of living? As a matter of common sense, we are not so foolish as to spend such an to t: The bills (to restrict American cruise trade to American-flag lines) are bad bills; the principles which underlie are even worse, for they seem to imply that American shipping has no answer to adverse conditions except to run to Congress for legislation in its aid. This bill would be dangerous and highly re- strictive; while assisting shipping they might injure many other businesses, which are now patronized by foreign shipping firms, and by dictating the kind "of ships which an American cruise passenger must use they would risk turning popular support for the merchant marine to disgust. From the New York Sun: The measure is unfair not only to the foreign- ships, which now sail from American ports, butto, the American travelers who wish to use them. The short cruises, at which the bill apparently chiefly aimed, are beneficial to ocean trade, for they ac- custom to sea travel many persons who hesitate to cross the Atlantic until they are enormous amount of money for a military campaign with the object of obtaining a piece of territory where there is so little room to live and which is often infested with bandits and lawless elements. Another point I wish to clear up is China’s complaint to the effect that Japan sent troops to China for the protection of the lives and property of the Japanese resi- dents, It was not the desire of Japan to send troops to China but it was China her- self who compelled us to send troops and we could not decline such an invitation in view of the chaotic situation existing. If China could amply protect foreign lives anad property in an adequate manner, no country would be willing to send their troops to China &t an enormous cost in money and in the end procure nothing but the peace 1 made trustful by shorter trips. Back to the Land. | (Prince Rupert News.) | One encouraging feature of the present financial difficulties is the movement back to the land in British Columbia as shown in the report made by Hon. Nels Lougheed last week in the Legislature. Hitherto British Columbia has imported vast quan- tities of produce but if the present movement con- |tinues it looks as if the Province would soon be growing her own. | The movement to the Peace country has assumed vast proportions, possibly with the idea that the western outlet would be constructed soon. Whether it will continue since the immediate construction of the outlet seems to have been abandoned will and order of another country. We sin- be proved within the next few months.

Wondering that this could be so, she appraised Dorcas a little shyly. From all claims of prettiness, Dorcas fell shart.

Herself—Her wander- ing' thoughts came sharply ‘up against the fact that she had been brought here for doctoring. David saw the distress in her face, interpreted fthe involuntary movement of her hand toward him. He stopped abruptly half way in a careless retort to something Doc- cas had said. “I suppose you've guessed, Dor- cas, that we've come to you for advice. Kitty’s declared an ulti matum. It needs some thinking out.” Dorcas merely inclined her lit- tle head. But when David started to speak she stopped him. “Suppose you run along home, straighter if you leave us alone.” To Kitty. “Youwll stay with me tonight?
