"Whoever understands China socially, politically, economically,
and religiously, holds the key to the world's politics for the
next five centuries." Former Secretary of State, JOHN HAY.
"yiTH SEVENTY THOUSAND -Chineso studying and working among us; with "tha Open Door" ta
China standing as the great, dominant American policy in the Far East; with the traditional friendship
between China and the United States constantly finding now expression, it still remains true to-day that to
practically all Americans China, with her four hundred millions of human beings, is a vast unknown, a mystery
unfathomable. Never has so good an opportunity come to Americans to know and understand China as now,
when Japan and China have been brought together at a confcrenco table of the world's great powers in the
Capital of the American Republic. Therefore THE LITERARY DIGEST has prepared a complete presentation
of China, the Country, the People, their Industries, their Ideals, and their Relations with the Rest of the World.
Americans Now May Know the Whole Story of China
A HOARY HISTORY
Countless aft beck, lost in the mists of antiquity, thou
una of years before th Christian Era. tha Chinese
people began. no ont know how. Did they spring.
from tha sou, or migrate from ancient Turkey, or Syria,
i or did they actually deacend from Noah, after tha Flood?
Their many centuries of known history k full of won-
derful happenings. An outlino of it is given in this
special number of THE DICIEST.
THE WHITE RAIDS ON CHINA
"The itory of China for the past hundred yean haa
bean largely tha story of her spoliation by the white
races." To all who are accustomed to think of Japan's
"extension of influence" a the chiefest of China's troubles,
tha article describing "Europe's Encroachments oo China's
Sovereignty" will bring an astounding revelation.
AMERICA: FRIEND and PROTECTOR
During all the troublesome years of European and Japa
nese encroachments and demands on China, only one
great power in tha world has stood by her as her pro
tector, and is her protector to-day. and that power is
America. A splendid article teUs what America haa
dona and is doing to maintain "the Open Door" and to
protect China from voracious raids of foreign powers.
SHANTUNG
The cradle of Chinese Civilisatien: tha Holy Land of the
Chinese People; tha birthplace of the silk industry, an
Eden of agriculture; an Aladdin's Cava of precious metals
and stones; tha heart that controls the interns! commerce,
and communications of the entire Chineae Empire ; one of the
richest and moat densely populated provinces of the earth;
elf-governed for five thousand years There are many
reasons "Why Thy Stragtl 'for Shantung," and the
rack under that title is full of surpriiing information,
Uostrattd with a specially-drawn map.
JAPAN'S 21 DEMANDS
Probably not five persons in every ten thousand Ameri
cana could name even three of the famous "twenty-one
demands'' imposed upon China by Japan. Yet theee demands
have tha most vital relationship to any settlement of the
great "Problem of the Far East" They have been vari
ously interpreted by' the powers concerned. One of the
most important articles in this week's DIGEST reveals
"The Secret of the Twenty-One Demands."
CHINA'S RELIGIONS, CUSTOMS.ART
To know China it is necessary to know her religions.
A clear explanation of the part which Buddhism, Tao
ism, Confucianism, Ancestor Worship, and Christianity
play in Chinese life is contained in a special article on
the subject. "Men and Manners in China" is another
colorful article, full of interesting' incidents. The "Pecu
liar OuaKdes of Chineae Art" $m instructively described.
UNBINDING THE WOMEN
Along with the crippling of Chineae women's feet and the
custom of Idllirc or aeDing girl-babies, has gone a general
subordination of the whole sex. But women in China are
being unbound, physically, mentally, morally, and socially.
A most instructive article telb how the transformation is
being wrought
SCIENCE IN CHINA
While the people m Europe were going about dressed m
the sldns of wild animals and using pieces of stone tied to
sticks for tools and weapons, the Chinese -were a highly
developed and skSful nation. They were the inventors of
gunpowder, the mariner's compass, the art of printing, the
making of porcelain; and the manufacture of sale. Read
about their casting of metals, their electrical industries,
their medicine, their curious treatment of fractures, and
many other marvels and oddities.
A LANGUAGE OF PICTURES
Chinese written characters are full of erpreesiye sym
bolism and piquant commentaries on soda! arid Indus
trial life. There is a picture character for "man" and
another for "field." Both put together mean "farmer."
Combine the character which means "word" with "man"
and we have a man and his word, or "honesty." The
symbols for "woman" and "eon" together mean "good."
Two of the symbols for "woman," together, mean "quar
rel" Three of them together stand for "gossip." An
interesting article reproduces' and explains many of these
story characters of the Chinese language.
An Exclusive Map, in Colors, of the Divided Republic
No such map has been published in this country before. It show at a glance the provinces
under the Peking Government those under the Canton Government and those which are
Independent or neutral The leading article tells the whole story of tha Divided Republic.
Another valuable map shows the Province of Shantung, with to reJway. roads, cable Unas,
and grand canal, as well as the location of its iron and coal fields and other mines. SnU
another map shows just where the tones of commercial influence of the various European
Powers in China are located. These maps are of infinite value in making plain the real ami
atioo in China. The flag of the Chinese Republic is reproduced in' correct colors on the cover.
