SPECIAL PRIZE.
CHINESE MIDDLE CLASS AWAKENING
Evidence that the fundamental good sense of the Chinese middle class is awakming to the dangers of the Communistic efforts, which have caused so much disruption throughout China during the past few years, is to be found in the manifesto issed by the newly- formed local Chinese organisation known the Shanghai Peace Preservation Society.
The following is a translation of the first leafet inued by the new
society:
