FORMER COUNTY GIRL
Miss Aetna Emmell, Teacher in
India, M. E. Auspices, Writes
WAS ENROUTE TO ORIENT
Stops and Sees Sector Captured
From Germans by Jspantui
Miss Aetna Emmell, well known
at I'armington and Scholia, now
in India, to which place she has
been appointed by the M. K. auth
orities as a teacher and mission
ary, was in the famous Shantung
sector, Nov. lti, and under that
date, writes:
"Just think of it - we are iu
the much-discussed Shantung
province. This port is not in our
regular course, but we stopped
to disembark 8,000 Chinese sol
diers, who were in France as
workmen during the war. Isn't
that an experience for vou?
was out just now watching them
get ready to land and they were
as excited as I suppoc hoy only
could be. So far tl is hat tei 11 a
wonderful trip and I'm not half
wav there. Fortunately our bail
weather came at the firt of the
journey, so, after a week of inal
de. mer I tun feeling sp'emlid.
We encountered one .storm which
I was told was the worst the ship
had ever experienced -some ev
;K-rient for a tendetioot. Our
tirst stop was in Yokohama on
Armistice Day. It gave us a typi
cal Oregon welcome, rain and
w ind. We jostled umbrellas w ith
the Japs and enjoyed ourselves
immensely. The little boys ami
girls are very cunning. We
watched them leave school at in
termission and they came out
"bobbing" their umbrellas for all
the world like our own children
in the States.
Japanese shops open ri'flit into
the street and families live in
them so their domestic life wa
open to all mothers putting
children to bed, families eating,
people working and little hoys
rending or studing.
Our next stop was Kiuluv
where we had fine weather, and
w here one of our passengers pro
cured a 12-piece tea set for $7.50.
The harbor at Kiobe was beauti
ful with lumdreds upon hundred',
of sail boats, supposnbly fishing
smacks. Kiobe is built on the
w.ter front, the mountain riv
ing abruptly behind. We aw the
statue of Buddha, some sacred
row s and myriads of other figures
in one of the shops. Thi Japs
are wonderfully polite, and bow
and smile and laugh. route
f roinKiolie to Nagasaika we pass
ed by hundreds of islands in the
"Inland Sea," with fishing vil
lages in coves, and the cliffs were
terraced and cultivated now in
wheat, they say. We coaled at
Naga.stka, and men and women
carried it from the barce in has
kets which held perhaps a peck.
These baskets were tossed from
one to another until they reached
the hold, keeping it up all day to
be relieved by shifts. We visited
the M. E. mission at Nagasika.
and it is located on a hill, begin
ning with wintergarten and end
ing with a four year college. Miss
Uussell founded this school, and
some of the camphor trees w hich
she planted have grown to great
size.
The Christian women who
teach here appear to be happy
and contented. We took a ricki
sha ride about the city and visited
a Shinto Temple. So one was
worshipping and children were
playing on the flight after flight
of steps leading to the top, and,
of course, some were .selling sou
venirs. Tsing Tao (Shantung) was
built entirely by the Germans and
on the streets one would think ve
were in a German town, only for
the fact that Japanese military
officers arc conspicuous with their
Khaki and clanking of swords. It
is interesting to note that thp Jap
anese are putting up the same
character of nuildings. This city
was captured from the Germans
by the Japs in 1914, the latter
coming in over the hill, thus
shultii p off. retreat. I an. told
that I he Japnnese were interested
in sendii g out the 3,000 soldiers
to France from this point because
they would upon their return be
better citizens. The irony of fate
is that the 8,000 returned to find
their Shantung country in the
possession of some one else. But
at that these soldiers looked bet
ter than their stay-at-homes. One
chap wanted his picture taken,
but he could not be induced to
smile it was a serious business
with him.-' He stood like a ram
rod, with his chin in the air, and
looked as tho he were attending
his own funeral.
Well, I must quit before I (ret
'Titer' crimp. Very Sincerely."
