China was so pacific in her nature. so kind in her treatment of the stranger. that travelers from Europe could go from one part of the Empire to the other and everywhere they received hospitality and kindness. It is the only country of which that can be said. and it can be said of her with absolute truth. She became our ally during the Great War. She sent laborers to France who did the heavy manual labor which otherwise would have taken French soldiers from the ranks. where they were so much needed. Time and again these Chinese coolies fed our soldier boys when those soldier boys were starving and needed the food. Instance after instance has been given this country. She came with actual help.
