China, in the throes of q constitutional
CONFUSION OF a magnitude unprecedented
in history, and groaning under an ever
increasing burden of foreign complica-
tons, now feels the heavy hand of fate
in the form Of plague and famine. From
Manchuria it is reported that 5000 per-
sons die each day Of a virulent type OF
the plague, from which it is said that
there is only one authenticated case OF
recovery. In the central portion OF China
proper thousands and hundreds of thou
sands OF persons are starving to death.
On top OF this. the dispatches from
the correspondents closely allied TO the
diplomatic corps say that foreigners in
China are apprelensive CT recrudescence
of the BoXerism Of decade ago.
1t may be possible that there will be
another outbreak that will bear the name
of Boxerism, but it is impossible Tor
another rebellion of exactly that charac-
ter to occur That was reactionary, the
next will he revolutionary. Every COM
petent critic agrees that the essential
control of China by the progressive Gle
ment dates from the Boxer war OF 1909.
Sir John Jordan. the British minister at
Picking. said lately that China had pro-
crossed more, in the European sense OF
the word progress, in the ten years b.
tween 1900 and 1910 than it had in the
ten centuries previous.
But there is evidently something wrong
in China, there is evidently some great
dissatisfa ction, there is evidently the
danger of a revolt. What are the rea-
sons?

China Will Soon
Have Constitution

originally promised for 1915. To prepare
for it provincial assemblies were organ
lied and these sent representatives to an
imperial senate. That senate was de-
signed to be merely a practice school, a
sort of moot parliament. But 1t did not
confne itself to mere forms. 1t insisted
in the face OF repeated denials from the
throne that the parliament must be called
Immediately and therefore China will
have a constitution in 1913, instead Of
1916. unless it shall be brought forth
sooner by some sort of revolution.
China has four hundred million people,
and it is almost Impossible TO convey in
words an idea of the tremendous funda-
mental changes that are now taking
place among these people. The extent
illustrated in the case OF the crusade
against opium smoking. Five years ago
the government declared a ten-year war
against opium. Since that time ninety
Gals have stopped the habit or have
been cashiered. No opium smoker has
any chance whatever to stay In the gov
eminent service. The growing Of the
opium poppy has been prohibited. the
farmers suffering by the loss OF 10 per
cent in land value. and even more In the
annual value Of crops.
The opium habit will be crushed out of
China. for oil practical purposes in a
few years. il only England will permit
China to prohibit the importation of the
drug. Three-quarters Of a century ago
China tried to stop the opium habit. but
England went to war to save it for the
profit of the Indian poppy-raisers and
took the island OF Hongkong to indem-
Nifty itself for the expense OF the war.
Heather China will put an end to this
curse when the Christian nations OF the
world will let it.

Perhaps nothing so forcibly illustrates
the change in China as the school sys-
tenn. While there are
