Asia. January 1921

1921

THE AMERICAN ASIATIC ASSOCIATION THE PURPOSE of The American Asiatic Association is— "To contribute to a satisfactory adjusment of the relations between Asiatic countries and the rest of the world by the removal of sources of misunderstanding and the dissipation of ignorant prejudices; and to cooperate with all other agencies religious educational and philanthropic designed to remove existin [...] The only probable explanation of the utimely end of this remarkable man is that he had a recurrence of the nervous prostration that in the previous year had threatened to stop his work and that the doctor had diagnosed as the result of over-work loneliness and worry. [...] The difficulty of quick communication with the nearest American envoy the tenseness of the international political situation and the desire of the State Department to get prompt and frequent information gave the post peculiar independence and importance. [...] On the morning the flag was first raised over the building the American residents of Mukden were invited to attend and when the Stars and Stripes reached the top of the staff a salute was fired with Chinese bombs. [...] Not only was he the confidant of the Chinese; he became a trusted friend of the representatives of the nations striving most actively to thwart the ideal of the Open Door.
