SAO -KE ALFRED SZE
One of the now China's younger
statesmen who' is serving his country
with distinction IS Sao-ke. Alfred Sze,
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary with ambassadorial
rank, to the, United States. Although
appointed by the Government of Po-
• ling, Mr, Sze apparently represents
equally well the Nationalist party,
thus showing unusual coolness of judg-
ment and reinarkable tact.
My personal acquaintance with Mr.
Sze has covered many years, When
I went to China about 25'years 'ago
as adviser to the Chinese Government
on monetary matters, Mr; Sze accom-
panied me as secretary and interpre-
ter, doing an unusually good piece of
work, I3e was one of the most re-
markable interpreters that I ever saw,
being able: to follow a talk of half an
hour in length and then repeat It sub-
stantially verbatim in another lan-
guage, taking point after point without
missing a single argument and with-
out making a note. He was also a
very conscientious and tactful inter-
preter. If I stated something in a
rather blunt way that would be likely
to offend the susceptibilities of the
Chinese, he would ask my permission
to express my remarks • in a slightly
different and perhaps more courteous
manner; but he would not take that
liberty without my permission.
Alfred Sze was a native of Hang -
chow, and studied in St. John's Unf-
�versity, Shanghai; but he spent a
good deal of time as a boy in the
Legation at Washington and was
graduated from the Washington High
School with the distinction of being
head of the Military Corps of Ameri-
can students in the school He then
wen to Cornell University, where he
took the degree of Master of Arts in
tour years Instead of Ave.
He was at home for a time
in Chinese politics; and then he
was sent to London as Minister in
1914, remaining until 1920, serving
during that time as a delegate to the
Paris Peace Conference. Later he
came to the United States, where he
is now serving as an unusually suc-
cessful Minister, on cordial terms with
all and thoroughly well liked on ac-
count of his honorable, conscientious
and fair representation of his country's
cause.
has marked him as a financier ot un-
usual ability.
Hhe is a graduate of Harvard Uni-
versity, and has employed, to work
with him various other Chinese who
are graduates of ,Harvard and Other
American 'universities. He has hadah :excellent training in financial
methods, which he has applied with
Judgment and good sense. At 0110
time he wartnae e in New York
asau assistant in the Far Eastern
bureau, reading Chinese papers and
furnishing me extracts for publication.
When I went in to see him the other
day in China, he greeted, me most,
warmly and assisted me in every way

Shanghai. He has served as Minister
of Finance of both the Canton 'Gov-
ernment at Nanking, and will undoubt-
edly continue to take a prominent part
in the financial affairs of the new
China.
Mrs. Sun YatSsn
Equally noted with "T. V," are
three remarkable girls in this Soonli
family. Until a short time ago the
best known of the three was the wife -
of Sun Yat-sen, the famous creator
and leader of the Nationalist Party.
Dr. Sun not only has been well known
1n China for 20 years or so, but he
has become an international figure.
Honored as the first President of the
Chinese Republic, he resigned this
position in favor of Yuan Shih-tai,
on patriotic grounds, feeling that
Yuan could do more for his country
at that period than he (Sun) could do.
Yuan did succeed in securing the ab-
dication of the Emperor by peaceful
means. After various changes of Rer-
oute, Sun Yat-sen passed away in
Peking, whither he had gone in, the
hope of arranging some solution of
China's difficulties. To -day he is con-
sidered the great hero of modern
China. In the city ot Nanking, the
capital of the Nationalists, a million -
dollar monument is being built to him,
which will be the• most striking fea-
ture of the city.
C. C. Wu (Wu Chao -Chu)
Still another prominent Chinese
statesman, who is at present in this
country as a special representative
of the Nationalists, is C. C. Wu, son
of the former Minister to the United
States, Wu Ting -fang. Those who
knew Wu Ting -fang will recall that
brilliant, witty, philosophical scholar
who made himself very popular in
many circles in the United States.
C. C. Wu is proving himself the
worthy son of his famous father, both
as a scholar and as a statesman, The
father was educated in Hong Kong,
and then afterward was graduated
from the Inns of ourt in London, as
was the son also, although the latter
had his early training in the United
States.
From Loudon Mr. Wu returned to
China, where he served in various
political positions, including that of
counselor to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and the Cabinet In Peking. , In
1917 he resigned this position and
joined the Canton Government, which
be represented two years later at the
Paris Conference. He served the Can-
ton Government as Minister of Foreign
Affairs, which position he later held
with the Nanking Nationalist Govern-
ment, formed by the liberal elements
in the Kuomintang who drove out the
Russian Communists.
• Recently, because of a combination
of local conditions and the desire of
the Nationalist leaders to have their
case properly presented abroad, Mr.
Wu, with two companions, left China
for the United States and Europe, to
study the programs of the different
countries and to learn what he could
that would he useful to hina in her
present emergency. He is now in the
United States, keeping track of the
changes in China and at the same
time ready to make any representa-
tions to this country in behalf of China
that may be needed. It is probable
that he will be here until the Nation-
alist cause becomes more settled,

China's national struggle of the.
Gracchi, in the height of Roman power
and glory, when asked where were her
jewels, this mother can give the same
answer while pointing to her sou and
daughters: "Here are my jewels."
Mrs. Sun Yat-sen shared most of
her husband's views, which were form-
ulated and promulgated widely, and
many of which sounded ommunistic.
When the Communists were driven
out of China during the past year, she
went with the Russians to Moscow,
showing her sympathy with the Com-
munists, although not necessarily be-
lieving them entirely. From Moscow
she has gone to other places of inter-
est in Europe, and within a short
time expects to return to Bina by wa3'
of America. It is to be desired, and
perhaps expected, that when she
comes to the United States she will
be properly received as a very distin-
guished Chinese citizen, who has been
prominent in her country's history.
Mrs. H. H. Kung
A second Soong sister, equally well
known in China, is the wife of H. H.
Kung, a very noted descendant of the
great statesman and philosopher,
Confucius, who is counted among the
three or tour greatest religious teach-
ers of all, time, and who lived some
500 years before hrist. Mr. Kong is
a member of the abinet of the
Nationalists as Minister of Public
Works, He has long been one of
China's leading men, particularly
along the lines of good government
and of conciliation, and is now spoken
of (since Peking has fallen) as likely
to become Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Mrs. Chiang Kai-Shek
The third of this group of sisters
of a famous family is the wife of the
great general and leader of the Nation-
alists, Chiang Kai-shek, I had the
pleasure of taking luncheon with the
general and his wife, and her brother-
in-law, Mr. Kung, when I was in Nan-
king. General Chiang Kai-shek said
that he was going to be in Poking
within three or tour months, and I
congratulate him on fulfilling his own
prophecy.
After the luncheon I saw Mrs.
Chiang again at a tea given especially
for her by the faculty of Ginling Col-
lege in Nanking. She herself is a
graduate of Wellesley oliege, as are
her sisters also graduates of American
colleges, She ie not only a most
charming woman and delightful
hostese, but is very much liked and
extremely popular with both men and
women in Nanking, and also 111 Shang-

Famous Book Offers True'
Idea of Life in India,
Visitor Declares
Although aware that his opinion dif-
fered from those of several travellers
who had expressed themselves regard-
ing the book "Mother India," Lt. -Col.
C. Robertson, C.M.G.,, retired, of the
Imperial Army, recalling 30 years' ex-
perience in India, unconditionally
supported Katherine Mayo's book and
declared that it was a faithful repre-
sentation of the conditions in India.
He had not been in that country for
eight years, he said, but pointed out
that social • conditions are bound to
be basically. the same—Political con-
ditions alone being altered.
Col. Robertson will spend - several
weeks In Canada attending to personal
business, having arrived in Montreal
on July 1, aboard the Cunarder An-
dania from Liverpool.
It is a fortunate feature that "Mother
India" was written by a citizen of the
United States and not by a British
woman, the Colonel thought. He said
that if the latter qualifications were
added to the book it would have raised
a tremendous storm of protests and
been the germ for endless trouble.
"Miss Mayo is not only a fine wri-
ter, but she has a wonderfully logical
mind and has backed her book up with
an amazing array of documentary evi-
dence showing clearly that she is by
no means 'talking through her hat,'"
declared Col. Robertson. He added
that one must confess the author had
something of a journalistic . fondness
for sensationalism, but that it did not
in any' way interfere with her presen-
tation of an accurate and faithful pic-
ture •of India, with millions almost
literally writhing in poverty, super-
stition and ignorance.

Interesting Data-
Capital
ataCapital and Income in Can-
adian Mining
The •Investment in Canada's oper-
ating mineral enterprises is now over
• 700 millions of dollars, and the net
income annually from sales of prod-
ucts of the mines exceeds one-third of
the total investment. Analysis of re-,
cently issued official figures shows
(
that sales value is increasing, at an
even more rapld rate the investment
of capital, says the Department of the
Interior, through its Natural Resources
Intelligence Service.
Dui ingthe past five years $120,000;
000 has gone into the mining indus-
tries of Canada, the total capital em-
ployed in 1927 being over $706,000,000,
according to preliminary figures issued
by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
This compares with 3578,000,000 in
1923. In this period thenet income from
sales has risen from 3194,000,000 to
$248,000,000, equivalent last year to
over 95 per cent. of the total invest-
went. Considering that lower values
prevailed for a number of Canada's
principal mineral products, particular-
ly copper, lead, zinc, silver, coal,
natural gas and cement, an increase
of nearly $11,000,000 in the net income
sales Last year cannot but be looked
on as extremely satisfactory. Lower
prices for metals were partly offset
on the income side of the ledger of
Canadian mining operations by in-
' creased production, but more aspect-
' ally by increased smelting and refill-
ing
efining of the metals in Canada. Metals
in crude or semi-refluod state are be-
ing exported to a less extent -with
each passing year. Instead there is
going forth from Canada a steadily
increasing volume of refined nickel
land copper and lead and zinc. The
operations: of smelting and refining
of metals are employing a steadily in-
creasing number of Canadian workers
and the net income from these oper-
ations increased by 312,000,000 last
year. As compared with five years
ago, net income is more than doubled,
standing at $45,000,000 in 1927, com-
pared with 320,400,006 in 1923. Capi-

Most important in the structural
materials group is cement manufac-
tru•e, in which the invested capital in
1927 was 1-40,500,000 and sales, 314.-

Island, Ontario British Columbia,
Quebec, Alhertaraud Nova Scotia are
the leading provinces in mining activi-
ties and the statistics show a big in-

Little 'Chick Care
(l+3xperimemtal Vends Note-)
Experimental work oondaatedby the
Poultry Division of the Central Ex-
perinaental Farm at Ottawa #haws. that
chicks when fed even as •early as
from twenty-four to thirty-six hours
atter hatching, were subject to no
greater.. mortality, and !bade equal
weight ,gains with birds of the same
hatch that were allowed to go torty-
eight, sixty, or seventy-two hours after
hatching, before being Red.'
In one experiment, mortality was
considerably lower in the early fed
Pens. In another, mortality was slight-
ly less and weight gains were equal,
It would, therefore, seem to be pee-
sible that the chick's ability to go for
a long period without food,-iwhieh
makes possible shipmente over great
distances, is merely a fortunate Dir-'
cumstance, rather than the, proper
method of chick management. Ger-
tainly, the matter of length of starva-
tion period for chicks lends itself
readily' to abuse with the result that
chicks sometimes suffer from too
lengthy a fast, and mortality is ex-
perienced from impaction caused by
straw, shavings or other litter ma-
terial picked up in an effort to find
food.
Work has also been carried on in
contrasting two methods of feeding.
chicks as commonly 'practised, name-
ly, that of leaving dry mash continu-
ally before the chicks from the start,
and that of restricting the amount of
mash consumed at any one by
closing the hoppers for different peri-
ods
ermods during the day. In one experi-
ment considerably greater gain per.
chick and •slightly greater mortality
was experienced when mash was left
before the chicks continuously. In
another experiment of one week's dur-
ation, the chicks having the mash
always before them made double the
weight gains, with less mortality to
three weeks of age than those birds
receiving mash six times a day for
of brooder chicks for the purpose of
half-hour periods. In other words, the
practice of limiting the feeding period
controlling overeating was detrimental
to health and growth, rather than ad-
vantageous. When the enormous
amount of extra time and labor re-
quired are taken into consideration,
it is without doubt poor economy to
use the intermittent method of feed-
ing.
In the • mining itself remarkable
progress is shown, especially when
considered' over a five-year period. In
the metals group, the mining of gold
in auriferous quartz leads with an in-
vested capital last year exceeding
3112,000,000 and a net income of $37,-
1500,00. The growth in this branch is
(indicated by an increase in invested
capital since 1923 of 46 per Dont., and
in output of -60 per cont. The most
astonishing growth in metal mining
is however in silver -lead -zine enter-
prise in which capital invested has
trebled from $9,2000,000 in 1923 to
nearly 328,000,000 in 1927. Reflecting
the decrease in prices, net income
from sales decreased from $20,200,000
in 1926 to 317,300,000 in 1927; never-
theless revenue from this source was
more than two and a half times as
large as in 1923.
Other metallic groups show quite
remarkable progress; capital in cop-
per -gold -silver mining increased by 445
per cent, in five years, while income
from sales increased by 123 per cent.
Invested capital in 1927 was nearly
$28,000,000 and income from sales 39,
700,000. In nickel -copper mining capi

and, as he is quoted in The Reformed

its more normal aspect is never

reach the outside world of a conn.

general lack of interest in the mis-
sionary enterprise, except in the loss
sophisticated colleges, and of an
amazing idealism that scorns almost
all forms of organized religion. In
general, however, people are not alive
to the seriousness of the problem.
There is in many cases a conventional
Christianity which never touches stu-
dents' morals at such points as,aheat-
ing in examinations, fraternity poli-
tics, and dirty athletics, as contrasted
with intense moral earnestness that
rather looks down on religion as being
sentimental."
Some of the fault lies with the
Church, thinks Rabbi' Stephen S, Wise,
of New York, who asserted to the
graduating class of Bryn Mawr Col-
lege that the -Church is -often "unchal-
lenging, unexacting and ' undemand-
ing," so that modern youth, irrespec-
tive of creed, have found much in the
Church of to -day to repel them. In
spite of this; Rabbi Wise warned that
"In rejecting the Church, you reject
religion. If, because unholy hands
have been laid upon the .most high
altar, you reject that altar, then even
more• unholy hands will profane it fur-
ther. Byrejecting it, you withdraw
the life -blood frons -it, leaving it life
less. In doing that you have sinned,
and sinned deeply." Dr. Wise empha-
sized the alleged revolt of .modern
youth againer the moral law and point-
ed out the danger of a Freudian
pseudo -science, as applied to the popu-
lar cult of self-expression. For Al-
mighty God's "Thou shalt," he said,
it substitutes "Thou mayest if thou
wilt." "Who are the great among
us?" he asked, as Tho Messenger'
quotes him further:
"Are they not the mystics, those
God-intoxicate('people who know the
companionship. of the Spirit to the
uttermost degree; the saints, who
make their lives holy; and the serv-
ants, those who, combining the quali-
ties of mystic and saint, minister to
mankind? I am afraid that you will
rationalize your own interpration of
life so much as to build up shrines
of your own prejudices, opinions, me
pressions, and reactions; but moral
chaos will come if you revolt against
the shrine of God. Are you prepared -
to toll, endure, and sacrifice for your
shrines as the mystics, the saints, and
the servants of the race have done for
theirs?. I am fearful of what will hap-
pen if you put altars that are infinitely
precious out of your life. To be
ehrineless is to be purposeless. There
is no easy way through Egypt .to

Doubtless Were is much justifica-

leaders, comments The Messenger, ob-
serving further; •1

Policewomen, about whom there
