the Editor of the "Nonra-Onrma Datty Nuwa."
S1r,—Kindly give me the permiesion of making an appeal to the general British community through the instrumentality of your valu. able paper.
May I ask the British community to consider the Chinese sayi sayings (Ra), daily life classes of Chinese, which is roughly translated as: Things of Great Britain are always the best and cannot be surpassed in any way." From this it shows how the Chinese love and respect Great Britain and how the good name of Great Britain has been inscribed in the memory of the Chinese. ted by her Allies now in the neutral portion of Shantung, who have not only violated China's neutrality but have even gone so far as to slaughter the people and assault the women, besides taking forcible possession of the mules and horses from the peasants and marketing on the merey of the bayonets with value-lees war-notes instead of with hard With regard ts the latter point, I have no doubt to suppose that the public is fully aware that during the Russo-Japanese war the Japanese Government issued war-notes to the amount of millions of dollars and forced their circulation in Manchuria amongst the Chinese. These war-notes have not as yet been redeemed and they are now just as useless 8s the contents of a waste paper basket. Hundreds of Ohinese either committed suicide or closed their business in consequence of the heavy loses sustained therefrom.
Apologizing for trespassing upon your valuable space and enclosing my oard T am, ete., A Barnasis Peking, Oct. 8.
