China’s Libraries Lost to War

As showing one way in which China has been made poorer by her conflict with the Powers, it may be mentioned that the magnificent Chinese library at Peking, consisting of several million manuscripts, was totally destroyed by fire, while the Chinese library at Mukden, the old Manchu capital, was carried away by the Russians to St. Petersburg. This library filled two railroad vans to their utmost capacity.
