Mlae Harriet Smith, Y. W. C. A. Student
Secretary in China, Relates Amaz
ing Story of How 20,000 Stu
dents Organized Themselves.
By BERNICE GRISWOLD.
Miss Harriet Smith, for ten yearn a
-etmlout secretary of the Young Wom
en’s Christian Association in Shanghai,
Chinn, relates the amazing story of
■how 20,000 Chinese students organized
Ahemselves to oust the militarists from
Government offices in Pelting and how
they succeeded in becoming the lead
ers of China.
Fearing that China was not to be
protected from the aggression of other
nations by the Peace Treaty, as she
had expected to be, some 20,000 stu
dents, all of them between the ages of
twelve and twenty-one years and ln-
eluding 8,000 girls organized tbem-
eeives Into the Chinese Student*’ Pa
triotic Society Immediately after the
publication of the first draft of the
Pence Treaty to fight for Chinese
rights.
Their first move was to strike from
school or, rather, from lectures, - as
tHey remained In their respective
schools and spent so npwy hours, dally
In private study. They then organized
Into bands for getting out propaganda
literature and for public speaking In
the country and small towns and in the
lea shops In poorer districts of the
ettftea in order that they might reach
the vast numbers of people who could
not read.
Immediately upon organizing, the
students published their demands, four
fen number: (1) that the militarists,
who as a party were pro-Japanese and
practically controlled the Government
at Peking, be put out of office; (2) that
flfhaatung he returned to China; (8)
that the twenty-one demands made by
Japan In 1916 be cancelled; (4) that
fefemre be freedom of speech and of the
prose. They also insisted that the
Ohlneee constitution be finished.
An immense amount of literature
was put out, much of It in the new
phonetic script which Is being launch
ed In China, so that the uneducated
elasses might learn what was happen
ing. Students lectured everywhere on
the demands, stirring the people to pa
triotism. When many of them were
arrested while parading In the streeta
of Peking they formed an Association
. of Imprisoned Students within the
prison and 1 refused*to be released,' pick-
atiag the stockade tbfenaselve* when
Government guards were taken away,
until the Government submitted a
proper apology for having imprisoned
them In the beginning.
When It became evident that eco- j
nemlc pressure was all that would he
effective both the bankers' and mer
chants’ guilds were called upon to back
the students. “In less than two,
hours,” Miss Smith said, “the shutters
were up at every shop in that great
city of Shanghai, where telephones are
few and communication difficult
Mvery shop, whether large or small,
was closed. The laboring people, feel- j
lug as patriotic as the bankers, tner- j
chants and students, also Joined the
general strike. For a week everything
was closed—shops, money exchanges, j
fish markets, shipping, everything, j
The students struggled to keep public
utilities running. The telephone serv
ice was Btoppe^ for a short time, but
the students soon had it running again.
They held meetings day and night, try-

ing to keep the railroad employees at
their posts and explaining that It was
patriotism for them and for water
works and electric light employees to
cent lime to work. At flie end of that
week the students had won the first
point and the militarists were out et
power.”
When suffrage In any form finally
comes to China Miss Smith feels that
it will be granted to both men and wo
men because of the way women are
helping to build things up now. Wom
en students took an active part in all
of this bloodless revolution. They had
their places on all of the councils.
Their part of the work was to trans
late much of the literature into phonet
ic script and when a boycott was de
clared on Japanese goods to begin pro
duction of goods In China.
“All of tfce student;* threw. away
their straw hats—purely Japanese
products—at the beginning of their
movement, and the women students
set about making white duck hats,
which were called patriotic hats and
Immediately became very popular.
Then they began devoting themselves
to the making of parasols and of tal
cum powder. Some of them paraded,
but none was arrested.
! “China Is the last country In the
world to fear class feeling nnd antipa
thy, which seems to be gripping the
rest of the world,” Miss Smith says.
“In China there is a wonderful social
solidarity. People get together, lot so
much by localities, but by trades and
professions. Every one belongs to s
guild, and these guilds are wonderfully
organized, as the Chinese have •
genius for organization. Despite
poor lines of communication, lack of
railroads and telephones, these guilds
hold closely together. Yet their organ
ization has nothing to do with caste.
“With a leadership as highly organ
ized-as that of the students s great
amount can be done. Leading men of
Chlua interpret the student movement
ns very significant—the forming of a
new notional party. It is the duty of
all ChTint inn organizations in China to
give these students, who arO now the
leaders of the Government, every pos
sible bit of aid nnd Inspiration, as they
need more than human help to bring
China f^it of her difficulties successful
ly. The Y. W. C. A. Is doing what It
can to help the women students. All
of these students have given up their
vacations and are working hard
throughout the summer.”
Miss Smith has seen China change,
within ten years, from one of the old
est and most rigid monarchies of the
world into a republic. 8he saw the
first republican flags go up aDd feels
that Chinn has accomplished a great
deal, fighting all the time as she has,
against the great odds of Japanese and
European"aggression In addition to the
old monarchlstlc party. Given time,
China will become one of the great re
publics of the world, she says.
Miss Smith lives In Richmond, Ya. t
and is home on a year’s furlough. She
expects to return to China in the
spring.
Said An Owner
What One Says is Voiced by All
“You Can Have Comfort, Per
formance and Endurance All at a
Moderate Cost”
About His ILssx
Ton thonsaDd ov tiers, almost to a man, voice what
you have heard of Essex performance and reliability.
Have you considered the weight of that endorse
ment in connection with the car you will choose?
Let us look at it this way :
ITS MODERATE COST
AND RELIABILITY
Consider the type of car that equals Essex per
formance. Some owners affirm their Essex is the
fastest car they encountered.
Certainly none ever thinks of a similar priced or
like size car in connection with the speed of an Essex.
Nor does anyone compare such a ear with its accele
ration or hill-climbing ability.
Isn’t the comparison always with larger and high
er priced cars ?
x And bo also is Essex finish and completeness.
There is nothing skimped or cheap about it either in
appearance or in those parts .that are not visible hut
which account for its reliability.
IT REQUIRES LITTLE
ATTENTION
Though a light small car^the Essex calls for little
attention, its motor fulfills its work without con
stant attention. The car is so designed and eon-
sriueted that it is practically free from annoying
squeaks and such as may develop are usually and
easily removed with a few drops of oil.
It is the ear for the man who does his own driving
and who, while he demands top notch performance,
has tlhe time nor temperament to be constantly ad
justing it. 1
That is a quality all owners admire and speak of.
, BIG CAR LUXURY
8MALL CAR COST
And in this sense luxury means more than mere
beauty and detail finish, it includes coTfort to
drive, freedom from mechanical’ annoyance,’ or per
formance limitations. It means a car one can be
proud of-r-one that because of what it can, commands
tqspect from every motorist. Essex owners have no
fear from the dust of other cars. If they are so
minded they can lead the procession in any group.
That they will tell you if you will but ask about the
Essex.
WITHOUT EXTRA
OPERATING COST
©tfher cars are as economical to operate as the
Essex, but ask yourself if they are as satisfactory
in other ways as they are good to look at or ride in.
Can they go as fast or as quietly? Do they appeal
to you as the Essex does in these details of perform
ance and reliability?
Essex owners know the difference. We want
you to know it by riding with us in an Essex.
It is the light weight ear which thousands have
adopted in place of heavier, more costly cars.
They get in the Essex the quality they demand.
They obtain a performance akin to what they have
had from their larger cars at much less expense, and
they have no concern about reliability,
t All these reasons you must have considered.
Can you answer the without knowing the Essex-?
