To the Editor of the "Nonmi-Cuutxa Datwy Nevis"
Si—May I draw the attention to the following extract from the Jan-vary issue of the "Atlantic" magazine alying the article written by, Mr, Lin Shangh Bankes, and' denote She to terrible in her arearness as tele Inner, weaken trip err follies, and ness, and degradation, terrible in ner 'Yant' Immutable stone educes that Fear their heads high on the: Bund and inthe abject Mula of creatures Subsisting "on their discoveries from Fefuse cans.
It seems to' me that some attention should be paid to this rather severe indictment of this community. It is one of the most bitter articles and unfortunately will give 'a distorted Impression of conditions here, Noth-Ing Is said of the almost numberless institutions which are helping.the poor nor any mention made of schools, churches, hospitals, Y.M.C.A. and other institutions which are doing much to counteract evil which one finds in every city. My frst impulse on reading the article was to alt down and attempt a reply but T find that one's vocabulary is not suflelent ta express one's thought and T hope you, however, will be able to justice.
