REVOLT MENACES CHINA,
SAYS AMERICAN TEACHER
Norman H. Pitman Writes
Home That Political Situa-
ton Is Serious
Especial Dispatch to The Journal)


ADMISSION, Ala, Nov. 21.-That Chi
ma is on the verge of another great rev.
olution, is the opinion OF Norman H.
Pitman, a we'll known writer and college
professor of Tennessee, as expressed in
letter to friend in this city. Mr..
Pitman is now in China making a study
of China and the Chinese, during the
course of which he is teaching in one
of the government schools at Pao-Ting-
Flu, near Tien-Tsin, the director of which
is a Yale graduate and member of the
China parliament which convenes in
1913. Mr.. Pitman. therefore, being able
to speak with authority by reason Of
his intimacy with this high official
After discussing American politics as
viewed by an American in China, Mr..
Pitman says: American politics is
tame, however, as compared with the
ups and downs of China. Our director,
who is a member Of parliament, has just
returned from Picking and he brings some
most interesting news. 1t is interesting
to note how the express dowager, Lung
Lu, wife of Kuang Hsu, is coming to the
front, as 1t seems that 1t is her power
that keeps Juan Shi-Kai, the former
viceroy, from returning to power. I was
surprised to learn just how much power
she has at the capital.
THE day before the former empress
dowager, Tzu Hsi, died, she decided to
take the title of grand empress dowager
and to give Lung Lu the title of empress
dowager. Realizing then that she could
not recover, she issued an edict the day
before she died appointing Prince Chur
regent, but providing that If anything
of Importance was to be discussed, the
regent should consult the empress dow
ager. Hence it seems that the empress
dowager and the wife of the regent, who
have no love for one another, are max
ing life intensely interesting in the &C.
lestial palace. The wife Of the regent
is a daughter Of Jung Lu and very
shrewd woman, while the regent is such
a weakling that the empress dowager
will probably put him aside
"All the officials near Picking fear
that China is soon to have another up
rising soon. but we do not feel uneasy,
as most of our Chinese friends say that
when the time comes, China will be too
busy with other, questions to worry with
foreigners 1t is interesting to be here
now, especially so near the capital, as
the Celestials for the first time in GEN.
turtles are making history"
