The Chinese Society of Boxers

It is said that “eleven millions of men belong to the great Chinese Society of Boxers.” This estimate was made by a Chinese grocer doing business in St. Louis. “The Society of Boxers, which now stands for lawlessness, robbery, and murder, was once respectable. It is a good influence gone wrong. Originally, it was organized as a protest and a means of defense against the bandits, with which the province of Shang-Tung was infested. It was, in fact, a law-and-order league.”
