tentative republic were revealed here
today by Sun Fo, son Of DR.. Sun Yet

new government If the revolution
now in progress is successful. Years
have been consumed in working out
the different problems that have pre-
sented themselves to the revolution

lest there be some fatal slip.

tionary Chinese in the United States
and Canada feel that it is but mat
ter of days until the Manchu dynasty
will succumb.
