by Mr. Zeen and his friends. During the Second Revolution when Nantao saw the havoc of war, he organized relief parties which handled over 10,000 families, housing them under temporary quarters and feeding them in the extreme heat of the summer. But the outstanding feature of Mr. Zeen's social welfare work is the promotion and establishment of the Anti-Kidnapping Society for the relief of women and children who have fallen into the hands of outlaws. Branch bureaus have been established in Mukden, Yingkow, and Changchun where most of these unfortunate victims are shipped to after their capture. Several thousand victims have been saved by this institution, which maintains a home for these destitutes in Kiangwan where they are clothed, fed and educated until they are capable of supporting themselves. In 1913, Mr. Zeen organized the International Famine Relief Committee. In 1915, he served on the International War Relief Committee and in 1917 he succeeded in collecting over a million dollars for the Chihli-Fengtien Famine Relief Commission. All in all, he has participated in over a dozen drives for relief funds, receiving commendatory tablets from practically all the high officials of the nation. Besides his numerous activities, he is also serving now as a director of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce; chairman of the Honan Famine Relief Society; chairman of the Chi Seng Hospital, Chapei; director of second company, Chapei Fire Brigade; director, Kiangwan Electric Works; and director, Chinese Ratepayers' Association. For his meritorious service, he has been awarded the Second Class Chiaho Decoration.
