HILE Germany and the nations whose greed for Chinese territory has been one cause of the situation do not like it, every thinking man in the world will commend the tone, phrase and pur- pose of President McKinley's answer to the Emperor of China. By all such it is recognized as an atti- tude which, taken in the beginning by a cordial con- cert of the Western powers, would have minimized the affliction which has rioted for the last six weel 1 designs and no desire to acutely change the internal polity of China.

The host served his three friends, and then looking over to the newcomer said: “Mr. uninvited guest, perhaps you would like a piece of chicken?” “I would,” replied thq guest, “Well, then,” said the host, “why don’t you go and catch one?” That is all there is to the problem.
