      Germany is furnishing us with some interesting news this week.

      She has successfully accomplished something which, to simple folks who are not diplomatists, seems like a plain, every-day case of robbery.

      Here is the story of it, and you can judge for yourselves.

      Some German missionaries have been killed in China, and Germany has seized a Chinese port in revenge.

      Missionaries are, as you know, holy and devoted men who go to far countries to spread the knowledge of the Gospel among heathen and unenlightened people.

      These good men have always suffered much for their faith. They go wherever their duty calls, and even carry their message of peace to the terrible cannibals who kill and eat men.

      The German Catholic Church some time ago established a mission in Shantung Province, China. Recently the sad news was received in Berlin that the mission at Yen Chu Fu had been attacked, and two missionaries killed.

      The shameful deed was at first attributed to pirates, but later it was found that it had been planned by the governor of the province in revenge for some old grievance.

      Following this outrage came news that the captain of a German gunboat had been attacked by a Chinese mob, which also insulted the German flag by throwing stones at it.

      The Government was extremely angry at this, and immediately demanded an explanation from China.

      The Chinese Government expressed its sorrow for the occurrence, and
