Great Britain's latest little war is

Fbe "NepoIeon Of China"
The Napoleon Of China" Yuan shi
KAT, who was called out Of retirement
to save the totterlng Manchu dynasty,
has not yet succeeded I'm justifying his
advance notices. Perhaps his press agent
Is not getting the right copy on the wire.
Possibly the job is more than he bar
gained for. So far as the reports go no
blow has been struck, no compromise Ct
fected which gives promise OF restoring
power and prestige OF the Manchus The
rebels are going right ahead with the
business in hand, gaining strength every
day, and giving little heed TO Premier
Yuan's proclamatlons. Very good reasons
exist why the rebels do not wish any
dealings with the one man hope OF the
Manchus. The Chinese know him. His
record as a betrayer on two notable &C.
caEions are matters of history In that
country. In 1884, while Chinese minister
to Korea and dictator OF its policies. he
backed up the Koreans against the Jap
anese until the latter resented by force
the action OF the Koreans. whereupon
yuan deserted his guns and secretly fled
to China. He did a similar thing to the
late Emperor Kwanghsu and the re-
former Kang Yuwei. Pledging support
TO the emperor in the execution OF
court plot he betrayed the plotters to
emissaries Of the dowager empress, en-
abling the latter TO seize the throne and
send the emperor into exile for life, and
gaining for himself vast emoluments and
power. This famous coup d'etat took
place in 1888, too recent TO be forgotten
by the rebels Of today I'm the present
revolutionary movement" comments the
Oriental Review, "the Manchu dynasty
appears to hang all it's hopes upon Yuan,
but who knows when he will not repeat
his favorite trick? He is not a man to
move until he sees which side is to win.
When he sees, he moves unscrupu-
lously."
