It is urgently necessary to commence the discouragement of senseless destruction of monuments in China: The Press 'advertised the depredations made upon the Nestorian Tablet and has called attention to the destruc tion going on elsewhere in China. But the efforts of the Press are insuficient. On the other hand, the conditions of foreigà travel in China and the relationship of fore possible for foreigners to discourage, if not to entirely eliminate vandalism and to encourage the preservation of all forms of Chi nese monuments and arta, it is possible not only to discourage the activities of vandals, but to encourage mutual respect amongst foreigners and Chinese for the monuments
The improvement of railway connections with Earope during the past year has been the meads of this rapid development, of vandalism. The destruction at the Ming tombs has occurred since the opening of the railway-to-Nan-kou little-more-than- a year ago.
