why the Celestial Empire bids Fair e

why the Celestial Empire bids Fair To
90 to Pieces.
February Review Of Reviews: The
situation on the Chinese coast that has
followed Germany's seizure of Kiau-
Chou has continued to hold the fore
most place In the attention OF the
world. Nobody knows what will hap
pen eventually, but 1t Is not likely that
the great game OF Chinese partition Is
to begin ut once. In due time. how
ever. the Chinese empire bids fair to
20 to pieces. We have been accustOmd
In times pas. to think OF the Chinese
homogeneous people. As a matter Of
fact, although they belong to the great
| yellow division OF the human race.
| tho divcrsities of type In the different
parts of China are greater than the d.
versities among white men Of Europe.
and there is less connection and by far
less sympathy among them than among
the discordant population elements
that make up the present day conglom-
crate that We know as the Austro-Hun-
garian empire. There Is an immense
range OF dialects In China, and 1t often
happens that the people OF n neigh
borhood cannot talk with those who
live In another -four or five miles away.
There is no such thing In China as a
~pervasive national feeling or an i'm
perial patriotism. The various pro-
| yinclal governments are not under Arm
| control by the central government, and
such military and naval forces as exist
are provincial rather than imperial.
| The Chinese Of different provinces and
| sections hate each other worse than
| they hate the foreigners OF other races.
When the moment arrives for a par
| tition of China upon a plan that would
not injure European peace. the thing
can be carried out al easily us was the
| German landing and conquest at KiaO.
