CeIestials Will Aid Nippon in
Conflict with America.

ANN ARBOR, MICH, Sept D.
Chentung r. Wang, the eminent
Chinaman and advocate of reforms in
his own country, predicts a mighty
struggle between the United States
and the yellow race.
Within ten years at the most,
says Wang, Japan and America will
become involved in a conflict The
sympathy of China will go with ia
pan, and she will join in a struggle
to preserve the independence of the
two Oriental powers and maintain
control of the far east"
Wang was secretary of the Chin
csc Y. M. C. A. at Tokyo, Japan, and
is in close touch with the attitude of
both his own people and the Japanese.
He has been a constant worker for
reform in China, and believes that
complete civilization will soon dawn
on his country. He says an imperial
edict will go FORTH within a year or
dering the Chinese to remove their
queus, and that one regiment has al
ready been attired in European style
of uniform.
Wang will enter the literary col
lege of the University of Michigan,
and expects to return to his reform
work among his own people when he
finishes his course, He speaks Eng
