(Special Corresponddnce of The Star and Chicago Daily News.) PEKING, China, uary 20.— With the object of doing away with corrupt and dishonest officials and to bring about a better government, China's younger generation has Taunched a movement to form & se- cret society based bn the princlples‘_ of the Ku Klux Klan. China is the home of secret socie- ties. Artjcles in the forelgn press have impressed a certain faction of th Chinese with the idea that, ® Srgantzation the Ku Klux!{ like a weapon that could be used to advantage in clegnsin the country's political life. The mys tery, secrecy, glamour and symbolism —particularly the latter—appeal to the Chinese mind, as weird cere- monials always have. It was a secret society that brought about the Taiping rebellion, whic cost the country many millions of lives and set the foundation stone for the eventual overthrow of the Man- chu. Another secret society brought about the Boxer uprising in 1900. It was a secret society knawn as_the Tungmenhui, fostered by Dr. Sun Yat- Sen in Canton, that was the real cause of the revolution in 1911, Which re sulted in the establishment of the re- public. Socleties for All Purposes. In China secret organizations are found everywhere. Each hamlet has one or more. * Even the growers of an organization Klan wouid be protect the interests of members and to oppose the government's attemp to suppress the cultivation of th poppy. Furthermore, every trade gulld, is a secret society with an influence unknown in foreig: countries. It is not surprising, there fore, that reports concerning the activities of the Ku Klux Klan should appeal to the imagination of the C nese. It must be pointed out th: eration the baneful influence of this organization or paid any attention to |- the condemnation it 'has received from the newspapers of Ameri the action taken against its activi- ties by the authorities. What has im- pressed them is the secrecy and th apparent immunity from pun These young Chinese are 100! some means to drive the mili and corrupt officials from pow that an honest and constitutional government can be brought into ex istence. They see that a secret so- ciety worked on the klan's lines in China would be a power to clear out a crowd of men who have brought ruin to the country. Powerleas Against Grafters.
