THE POWERS MAY INTERVENE
Addiction OF the Emperor OF China

May Force Nations to Act.

Enthusiastically all OF the for
eign ENJOYS have notified their re-
spective governments that some &C
ton by the powers Is necessary in
China at once, II armed Intervention
is to be avoided. There is a strong
possibility that China may soon be
without government, In view of the
reputation of the ultimatum sent to
Yuan Shi Kai by the Marking rebels
to the effect that in the event OF alb
dication there will be no provisional
government established at Pekin. IL
is thus the duty of the powers to
guard against such a crisis and the
disaster ii would hiring.
II is unlikely the foreign powers
win permit the latest demands OF the
republicans, which include the abdica
ton of the throne and the surrender
OF its sovereign powers, the exclusion
OF the Manchus from participation in
the provisional government and Pre-
mier Yuan Shi Kai's elimination from
the provisional government until the
republic has been recognized. 10 be
