[Robbers and Honan Captures.

The correspondent of the North China Daily News, writing from

· Kusiteb, says":-The brigande have moved a little farther away from here in their operatione lately. General. Chang was sent down with several ying of cavalry and infantry to deal with the situation. He brought his men into Kasilah and was going to wait until the bealiang was cat before beginning operations. The brigands, however, got so bold and came so near in their kidnapping basinene that he had no "face" left and. finally went out after them. This resulted in a fight in which the. faoldiers bad over 30 casualties and the brigande' were driven back to their happy hunting grounds" }along... the....... Shantung border. Chang Taren is st present out there in the Mamub district and will probably follow the nensię plan of staying there a faw weeks and then retiring to leave the brigands in fall, possession.

Generally speaking, the well- to-do people do not get much sympathy from the poorer alamee when their tara comes to be kidnapped and held up for ransom. They never seem to care very much when the poor have to pack their belongings on a barrow and start off in times of famine, por do they ever neem to desire to developindustrise to give work to those who are continually living on the verge of starvation. In fact, as you know, they will take advantage of rice being sold cheap for poor relief to bay up the stocks and sell them at a dearer rate. To my mind tach bloodsuckers should be Csalt with as severely sa the robbers are, but then many of our highest officials would come under the asms condemation.

His Own Measure. Stories are told us very cheer- fally of the piclaresque revenge sometimes taken by the brigands on_specially skin-fint victims, such as one man who had haá a good crop of carrots and when besought for help by the poor would hand out s'emali carrot, in the same way as the shop-keepers dole out a single cash to a beggar. The result was that when the brigands (probably local ones captured bim for ransom-they kept him a couple of days with- bat food and then fed him on a small carrot from time to timà until the ransom osme.

Another man had a hole pierced through his nose and a string threaded through, on each end of which was suspinded a number of cash; for, said the robbere, sizes you regard your money so much, you may have some where you can see it all the time.

All this goes to show that the Chinese ustion as a whole is resp ing in blood and missry what it has some in contempt of the poor and indifference to the suffering. Nor will shooting and head- lopping settle this thing, but the opening apofiinsa and industries which will give people who would be decent a chance to live decently. There would then be left, only's nucleus of brigands who were no from chcies and these would not be hard to deal with.

Spanish Influenza,

We are still getting apelis of rainy weather here, but iha har-d vesta have been good and food is ohess. The kaoliang has been mostly cut, so the smaller fry among the robbers will soon be hunting their holes for a season. Houses are still very hard to get in the city, for the country folks dara not venture back to their homes yel

There is an epidemic of some kind of fever which lays its vic tims out for thres or four days with a headsobe and temperaturs end is not very pleasant whilet the city iso orowded. Fortunate, ly it does not Isst long and al-, though some 20 of our Charch members have been or are down ́with it, none seems to have been very serionely L
