ing work with tho American Y. M. C.
A. ia England and France, has just re
turned, declaring that it was the hap
piest eiperirnce Of her life.
Blie spent her first five1 months la
service in England, partly In London
and partly further south. Then she
was sent to Fraace and givea for ber
specUn outfit, the second battalion of
the 66ta Infantry, 7th Division. This
was a very interesting riperienre as
she was ths only woman V. M. C. A.
worker with the battalion. And it wn-
a strenuous experience. All day aad
until JO o clock nt night alio was busy
serving the soldiers drinks, hot and
cold, and several time each week

DISCUSSES WORLD POLITICS
AND THE CHINESE QUESTION
Beturned Missionary Tells
Story of Eastern Happenings
of Thirty Years
Explanation of Chinese politics aad
their relations to the present peace
treaty waa a part ot the lecture deliv
ered ia ths Baptist Tabernacle last
Bight by Bev. G. I. Bo-tick, who has
beea a missionary to that country for
over 30 years.
Mr. Bostirk explained la detail the
story of the seizure of the Shantung
peninsula by Germany, of the Japan
ese at Port Arthur, and of the actioa
of tho Chinese students when it was
learned that 8bantung .was to go to
Japan.
The actioa of the peace conference la
preparing to rede Khantung to .Japan
did more, ia Mr.' Boatkk's opinion, to
ULify China than anything that liai
happened in the past three or four hun
dred years. Home 50 students demanded
the resignation of three of tho cabinet
officers, whom they called traitors, and
were .promptly locked up. As a result,
tbi entire body of students from Chiaa
went oa strike, aad refused to study
until ths SO were freed aad the cab
inet officers were dismissed. They bad
their way.
Turning to a discussion of the mis
sionary work ia tho East, Mr. Postick
stated that there were about a half
Billlioa Protestant church members in
the country, sd a largo number of
Catholics. He re&kled that several vil
lages had beea Catholic for the past
200 year.
