To show that DR.. Sun Vat Sen, the
pres dent Of the Chinese republic, is alive
to this situation and ready to cooperate
with US in respect thereto. have only to
quote the following from a published
article signed by him before he became
president:

Then, to show that this man before he
be6 anne president was looking to us
above all other nations for sympathy
and support l quote the following from

Warning to Nations.

In my opinion the resolution in specific
terms should warn all nations not only
against Intervention, but against taking
advantage of the situation for territorial
plunder and aggrandtzement.
The Chinese republic was first estab-
lished, with fourteen out Of the eighteen
provinces (Which constitute China proper)
participating therein, more than month
ago, as DIR. WI Ting-fang, director OF
foreign affairs for the republic, asserted In
his appeal to the nations of the world at
that time for Its recognition. and the re-
public has been fully maintained since
then in the fourteen provinces excepting
for a few days in a small portion of one
Of them and in them all provisional state
governments. SO to speak. have been set
up. and the national and state govern
ments acting In concert took prompt pos
session Of all custom houses. post offices
and all sources of revenue and public
property within the territorial limits and
have since been collecting the revenues.
The published statistics of the army
strength of the world compiled from the
latest available data give China credit
for possessing a standing army of 10000
men. with a reserve strength OF 1OO,OOO
more.
The very large portion Of this army
which was stationed with n the fourteen
provinces rebelled and went over to the
republic, and Is now aiding the revolu-
tiOnary patriots In the heroic fight they
are now making to overthrow and de-
throne the imperial Manchu sovereigns
and potentates throughout the whole
Chinese empire. and so diers from the

To the Editor OF The Star:
When our forefathers were fighting for
their independence they not only had
the sympathy of all the liberty
loving people throughout the whole world,
but the active mental. physical and fight
.ng support of many people of other ma
tionalities, and 1 am glad to see from
published reports that inherent sympathy
for the downtrodden prevails in the hearts
of all. or at least nearly all. Of our con-
gressmen, and that, therefore, the con-
current resolution of sympathy with and
encouragement for the struggling Chinese
patriots introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives by that patriotic son of New
York, William Sulzer. Is sure to pass both
houses of Congress in the very near fu-
ture.
While this resolution is not. in my opin-
ion. sufficiently broad In its scope to cover
the situation. it may serve as a notice to
other powers, especially to Russia, to
stand aloof and give the revolutionists
ample time In which to wipe out the lit
tie that remains of the Manchu dynasty.

Goes Over Route

Considerable curiosity has
been evidenced this week as to
the status Of the A. X. a. +. p.
railway situation. This has
been largely on account Of Mr..
West and party being here last
Saturday The facts seem to be
about as follows:
Mr. West has arranged for
the floating of his bonds in
Chicago. but just on the heels
of this he has got in touch with
some Boston capitalists who Of
fer even cheaper money. He
came here with a representa-
tive of the Boston capitalists
and was met here by an auto
mobile from Lubbock and left
right away for a trip over the
me. They were accompanied
by Sam Houston and went
through 20 Lubbock. The
bonding representative was
much pleased and after landing
there they left at once for Bos-
ton where Mr. West is now
closing up with the eastern
people. Il is expected he will
be here soon after the first
when some forward movement
along active lines may be ex-
pected. Every indication is in
deed most encouraging The
matter of ascertaining the con-
dition of the right-of-way in
this section is being pushed
and ii is believed that it will
be possible to begin work here
and push westward. Additional
light will be shed upon the sub
ject in the very near future and
