Shanghai, Nov. 20.-The situation
IN southern China is becoming more
involved each day as the republicans
apparently are determined to secure
their independence from the Manchu
dynasty. Thrc are grave doubts. how

stable government in time to avoid the
consequences of continued disorganiza-

are preserving order. The situation
at Peking has little influence ON the

Independence are organizing separate
governments. but each refuses rccog-
milton to the responsibilities incurred
by the central government. As Nam

of southern supremacy is not taken
