...Chinese waters ? "the greatest armada assembled since the World War." Mobs, large or small, menaced the foreigner in almost every Chinese city. Belgium, in despair, announced that she would turn over the Belgian concessions at Tientsin without pretense of a struggle should the North Chinese War Lord Chang Tso-lin so demand. At Foochow and elsewhere mobs were incited against the Yang-kuei tze by the old story: "The Foreign Devil kills Chinese babies and cuts them...

...soldiers of the Manchurian Super-Tuchun Chang Tso-lin, now in control of Peking, notoriously follow his example of ruthless and inhuman cruelty upon slight provocation. Last week one of Chang's lieutenants demanded a "contribution" from a Chinese merchant resident in the suburbs of Peking. The merchant refused. The soldiers brought a cauldron of oil, built a fire beneath it, seized and stripped one of the merchant's daughters, boiled her to death...
