SOLDIERS OE MENIAL SERVICE IN FRANCE 



In ancient Phoenicia';; the mountains repelled and the fine harbors of the Syrian coast 

 invited the men of Tyre and Sidon to become sailors and traders. In Shantung the ever- 

 hungry stomach drives men to any corner of the globe where honest labor and hard coin can 

 come to an understanding. Chinese coolies who have learned to sit down in companies of 

 five hundred and be well fed are never going to be the same men who toiled sixteen 

 hours a day for a mere pittance. Chinese man-power is waking up. 



CHINA HAS ITS SIDEWALK RESTAURANTS, TOO, BUT NOT OE THE 

 CAEE DE LA PAIX TYPE 



When an American woman buys a Chinese hair net, or an American man a summer suit 

 whose pongee has been spun by Shantung silkworms, a family in the province known as 

 China's Holy Land adds a strip of pork to the day's menu.
