V EUROPEAN AGGRESSION WILL NOW BE CHECKED United .States Mads Great Blunder in Failing: to Perceive That Boycott Was Only One Manifestation of New Policy. (Josrnal Special Service.) ' Shanghai,-Dec 11. Since the conclu sion of the Russo-Japanese wsr Chlna'a time honored tactic of evasion and pas sive obstruction has given place to a definite expression of policy, "China for the Chinese," and to a deliberate organ ised resistance to foreign influence. -It Is difficult to overestimate the moral effect of the -defeat of the great- west ern power by the Japanese. ' Among other causes are: Impolitlcal action In the united States, which, fall ing to perceive that the recent boyoott wae merely one manifestation of a gen eral anti-foreign policy, haa adopted en attitude of conciliation s which the Asiatics naturally misconstrue, and the ' withdrawal of the British-China squad ron and a reduction of the allied garri son fn the north. . . Among the results the situation haa created the following ere moat notable: China's earnest efforts towsrd military efficiency, evident determination to grant no further concessions to foreigners, circulation of antl-forelgn literature and KEEP STRONG To keep up strength and Vitality It la necessary that ths supply ef nourish ment be renewed dally.

Brewster Objects, "' "I object to the 'manner In which Mr. Malarkey is questioning thla witness. He ,ls clerk of the commission and ae such has given entire satisfaction. Re haa bean called here as a witness and haa brought his paper and baa tried to tell you the truth ae near es he can to the questions propounded. - I do not think thla committee ought to allow it counsel, who hss self-styled himself the inquisitor, to bullyrag and bulldose the witness. He has Insinuated that Mr. McPherson haa tried to evade anewerlng questions. He tries? to frame questions In sWKi a way as to bring contradictory answers. - It la your duty to instruct your counsel not to do thla. . Be ought to be held tn cheek, especially on aa oc casion ' when neither the secretary nor the commission have an attorney pres ent. I think you ougnt to insist on holding this investigation in an orderly manner and not allow your counsel con tinuously to Insult the witness. Mr. McPherson haa held his temper under the most trying circumstances. I cer tainly would not allow aa attorney to question mS In that ' manner, neither would yon nor your 'counsel.

Malarkey resented Brewster's rebuke, but finally apologised, and proceeded in a little more courteous .manner.. . Mc Pherson said he would answer such questions ai he knew of a, fact but would venture no criticism of the action of the commission. The queetion of whether or not a man waa. a cltlaenand could be appointed to the polio force after taking out his first papers arose, and Brewster ad vised Malarkey to look up the matter, aa be was of the opinion that aeoood papera were not necessary. Captain Nevtna, local superintendent of-the-Ttnkerton'adetectlv agency, who, with Postmaster ohn Mlnto ex amined the applicant for captaincies, testified that the markings had been given the epplloanta after looking over ytelr papers and after questioning them regarding their knowledge of polios af faire.
