V .1 10 D THE OMAHA SUNPAY BEE: JUNE 29, 1919. i f art. i. it It Si CHINA IS BEING TURNED UPSIDE DOWN IfJ CUSTOM Colleges, Hospitals and Mis sions Have Changed the Old Order; Missionaries Given Credit. Pekin, June 28. (By Mail) China is being turned upside down. The dust of centuries is being re moved. The heritage of dead civil ization is being discarded. Men are, raising their eyes to the dawn of new things. Women are drinking deep from the chalice of equality. Old gods are being confounded. Old supersttitions are falling away. The false is fading into oblivion before the true. , China is being turned upside down. The old order changeth. The heathen has prayed to idols, and has praved in vain. Scholarship'! no loneer confined to the robed priests of Buddha and Confucius. Schools and colleges are changing that. The diseased no longer die unheeded. Hospitals and dispensaries are changing that. The dogs no long er lick the sores of Lazarus. A con sciousness of social justice changing that. China is being turned upside down and the ambassadors of the New Freedom are the missionaries of the church. It is they who are doing this thing and China knows it and is impressed by it and is glad of it. Service of Education. And net the least of this work is the work being done by the Episco pal church. Her ambassadors are giving to China a service of educa tion and inspiration. And it is to improve this service, to enlarge it, to make it greater and deeper and more beneficial that the church looks to its nation-wide campaign for that compaign is to enable the church to accomplish her whole work both at home and abroad and to encourage her members to partici pate in just such duty as turning China upside down and breaking the bonds that still bind her to a dis tant past. ' Today in the homes of Chinese Christian one finds the wife at the table with her husband and her daughters there, also, for daughters no longer are regarded burdens but are sent to school and cared for equally with boys. Nor may a man keep conciihines and divorce his wife at will. All that is p'ast and forbid den and cast down. The false is falling into oblivion before the true. Not long ago in -China suffering and' distress were everywhere and the halt, the lame and the blind were seen helpless, hopeless and often dy ing in the streets. Now hospitals have been established, dispensaries ars in operation and orphanages have been erected. At first the Chi nese thought the missionary doc tors were scorcerers; then they thought they were incomprehensible mysteries; now, though they still cannot understand why they do so much good for nothing, they see that good being done and are forced into a position of continuous inquiry, And thus are they brought into touch with the principles of Chris tianity. Church's Educational Work. Of a similar nature is the im pression made upon them by the educational work of the church. One has only to turn to the work of the two Episcopal universities, St. John's and Boone, to understand why this is so. From these univer sities have come such men as Well ington Koo, Chinese ambassador to the United States; Alfred Sze Sao Ke, ambassador to Great Britain; W. W. Yen, minister to Germany at the time of the outbreak of the war; I. C Suez, of the board of foreign affairs in the Central government; Phillip Tyau, in the Chinese legation at London; T. T. Wong, director of Chinese government students, who was -recently assassinated at Wash ington; Y. T. Tsur, president of the Tsing-hau government college for U. S. A. indemnity students at Pek in and C. T. Chao, vice president of that college; L. N. Chang, the only Chinese lawyer admitted to the western legal association at Hang kow; Y. J. Soo, founder and presi dent of the Shanghai High school, a private scnooi witn auu pupns; i. H. Wu, head physician of the Nan zing municipal dispensary; Y. N. Zune. head physician of the S'ung- Lkiang city hospital, a private insti tution, and a host of others in the government and in educational and hospital work. In just such ways is China being turned upside down. By education is the dust of centruies being removed. By inspiration men and women are raiising their eyes to the dawn of new things. Through the ambassa dors of the church is the false fad ins into oblivion before the true. And that the ambassadors may be sunoorted and succored and made firm the nation-wide compaign of the Eoiscooal church in America comes to encourage her members to gifts and service.

Co. CENTRAL CITY, NEBRASKA. E COUNTESS NOW SCRUBS FLOORS IN BUDAPEST Proletarians Now Occupy Palaces of Former Nobility and Use Silk Curtains as Dishrags. Vienna, Mav 31. (Correspon dence of the Associated Press.) Conditions in Budapest and the sur rounding country under the fanta tic government of Bela Kun and his soviet are grotesque. It has just become known the Countess Rada is scrubbing stairways in one of the city prisons. Count Julius Szechenyi, 90 years old, formerly master of the king's horse, is one of those who has incurred the dis pleasure of the ruling forces. In spirte of his age, he has been forci bly removed from his home and im prisoned. What disposition will be made of him is not, likely to reach the public until it has been ordered and executed. Everv room in the handsome marble palace of Count Louis Kar olyi, the former Austrian ambassa dor to London, is occupied by some one of the vaunted proletariat, with such results as might be expected. Stovepipes stick from the lacecur tained windows, and the silk-covered walls are smoky, grimy and greasy. Protective covers have been torn from rich divans and handsome chairs to be used for dishrags. Costly bronzes., chipped and muti lated, are being used as playthings bv the proletariat children. It is the same in the handsome residence of Count Andrassy next door, where squalor and dirt are rap lpdly replacing the magnificence and polish of a happier flay. Day by day comes the news of increasing violence on the part of those who are in power. The latest instances have to do with Ludwig Nawy, former president of the Hun garian parliament. He was seized at his country home and while be ing taken into Budapest, was taken from the train and shot to death by the Red guard who gave as an ex cuse that he was trying to escape.. Altogether the situation in Buda pest is rapidly approaching the point where there will be the cus tomary appeal to the "great big- hearted America" to feed and clothe the people. Security of life and property is growing less with every week and the once magnificent city is rapidly taking on an appearance to which its people have hitherto been strangers. Neglect of agriculture is one of the outstanding features of the situ ation. It is estimated that 50 per cent of the tillable soil has not been plowed, partly due to the disorgan ization and demoralization occa sioned by an order of the soviet which forced landowners to raise the wages of farm laborers from five crowns to oU crowns per day, and also to give them butter and milk without any charge and to see that they were properly clothed. The appeal to the United States for help is expected to come chiefly trom the people who have done noth ing to work what few fields are now under cultivation and who never had many clothes or felt the need for them. Rat Plague In England. London Brown rate are increas ing so rapidly in rural England that they have become a plague and the Board of Agriculture is preparing for a campaign against the rapacious rodent Immense loss of wheat has been caused by the rats. la soma districts unthreshed stacks have been riddled with rat runs and are almost falling in. It is estimated that a grown rat can eat two ounces of wheat a day and spoil much more. - THE MIL IGH JOHN WITT, Prop. ononoaononononononononononoiononoDo , o o D o T. F. GREEN, Pres. I. D.
