Newton Dubs, superintendent of the Kvangellcal Missions in. China. He is a son of the lute Bishop Kudolph Dubs, widely known in the State. Dr. Dubs In a letter to his mother.J tells of the peril to which tne ror elgn' residents of Hankow, Chang Sha, and Uljng.

at which places many missionaries wellknown In Pennsylvania are now stationed, are dally subjected. It Is apparently not tho set purpose of Chinese fighting among nhsmwlvfii in kilt on iniure for elgners, but nobody known when a titi ay bullet or a machine gun vol ley may cross the street or enter a residence. Many narrow escapes have been recently recorded. Among those In the danger zone are the Rev. William Shumbnugh and wife, of Carlisle; and Dr.

Den Jamin Xelbel and family, Pcnbrook. The latter Is In charge of the mission hospital at Llllng and has on numerous occasions endangered his own life by going out into the none of lire to bring Into the hospital wounded Chinese. For the immediate present it ia quiet in the L.illisg district, but bandits infest the hills nearby and it very dungerous for missionuries or 'others to venture outside the town. Notwithstanding thta Dr. Dubs and his wife made a recent trip 350 miles through the mountains to lOiiHt Hunan for the purpose of visiting 'missionary outposts in that troubled district, Dr.

Dubs walking the entire distance. Dr. Dubs reports very serious anti Christian outbreaks in many of the towns und cities in liundn. Particularly violent are the mobs of students and industrial workers who' have been Inflamed by propaganda printed in Chinese but bearing apparently the enrmurks of Moscow. Several of these pamphlets have been translated by the missionaries in an effort to provide themselves with proper material for counter nrgument.

Several of these Dr. Dubs hus sent to friends in this vicinity. They are carfeully pre pured but of a most Inflammatory character and are so worded as to lead the Chinese to believe that the missionaries are In very large numbers merely the agents of foreign imperialism and that to yield to their teachings would be to turn China over to foreign domination und enslave the people. Dr. Dubs is Arm in Ufe belief that the Chinese students who have been misled by this type of propaganda are really very sincere and that If the situation Is handled properly the outcome will be a great victory lor Christian missions and In the end will do much toward making their lot easier and their results more productive, but for the present the outlook Is anything but bright and any day may bring a disastrous outbreak.
