        "content_text": "# Petition to Proceed to Zion City, America\n\n398\n\nMy dear Sir,\n\nDoederlein in Leipzig, who saw things through. Being considered American, I did not come into any military service. After passing the final examination in Leipzig, I went in my 22nd year again to the States, where I worked with the founder of Zion City, Dr. Dowie, for two years. I then returned to Germany for 1 year, preparing and passing the examination in Leipzig Theol. College as D.D. \n\nAfter this, I followed an invitation from the founder of the China Inland Mission, Rev. Hudson Taylor, to act as his interpreter in Germany, Switzerland, and France, and I came out with him to China in 1896. Since that time, I have not been to Germany, had no connection whatever with Germany, and was told by the Consul General of Germany that he had no connection with me whatever.\n\nMy son Hans has been born here in China, is not registered in any German consulate, and has never been to Germany. We considered ourselves always at heart as Alsacians, politically as Americans, but never as Germans.\n\nWhen I wanted to explain things to the officer who boarded the China, I was told to wait till I was in Hongkong.\n\nTherefore, most honored Sir, it is my humble petition to let my son and myself go on to Zion City, America, to prepare a home there for my relatives from Feaumont, and my wife, who are now, since 20 months, again oppressed by the Prussians. If I had not had cancer for two years in my left arm, my place was not in China, but on the side of my brothers, who are giving blood and life to regain our homeland; and because the British nation is helping us in that heroic fight, we ask God to give us victory and our homeland. I have been 17 years in China without any rest and need rest very much.\n\nBut if it should be decided that I had to go to Australia, I would beg you, most honored Sir, to put my son and myself away from any German camp, as I do not want him to grow up among our enemies.\n\nI cannot write down all I feel about the situation, but I assure you that each word I wrote is spoken as before God. I can assure each statement with a holy oath.",

        "content_text": "# \n224 \n\nreturned to Strassburg, where my mother remarried. As the treatment, accorded to us three boys by our German stepfather was unbearable, my two younger brothers went over to Beaumont in France, and I went to Gymnasium in Strassbourg.

Medial lateral band from snout, behind eye to caudal base medially and out to end of median caudal rays brown, overlaying gold. Vandyke brown spot, less than pupil, in brown lateral band at caudal base. Iris purple brown. Fins, except pectoral, all red.”\n\nAmia kiensis (Jordan and Snyder).\n\nOne example, 61 mm. Compared with Jordan and Snyder's original figure (Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 23, 1901, p. 905, fig. 9) my example shows the upper dark longitudinal line from above the eye extended back obscurely to upper surface of caudal peduncle.\n\nSERRANIDAE.\n\nLateolabrax japonicus (Cuvier). Lo, Yu2 (Perch).\n\nPhotograph of an example, 480 mm. long of 3 lbs. weight, caught at Kowloon Docks on live prawn. \"It frequents the waters under the piers at the end of the Docks and appears to like dark spots.\n\n* * have seen one 3 feet long, weighing 15 lbs., caught at China Light and Power Station, Hok Un, in 1928 and was bottom feeding when hooked. The flesh is firm and good eating. It is a good sporting fish and with a rod and line an angler would enjoy a good fight landing it; although the 15 lbs. one referred to was very lazy until it was within about 3 feet of the top of the water, it certainly woke up then and fought for ten minutes before it was gaffed.\" A.
