Missionaries arriving from the interior told of bandit gangs raiding undefended villages in a spirit of grim carnival.

Many children whose parents had been murdered came to the bandits, begged mercy, food. Ogreish, the murderers amused themselves by seizing the legs and arms of the smaller children and literally tearing them to pieces. Older boys and girls were stripped, then flogged, or maimed, killed or set free at the whim of their captors...

...five years ago, these gentlemen imported four quarts of U. S. peanuts. Half of them were given to two Chinese farmers as the basis of a Chinese peanut crop. One farmer ate his peanuts instead of planting them. The other, however, planted and replanted his peanuts, until now the Shantung Peninsula grows 18,000,000 bu. per annum.
