ter Entente Not Enthusiastically
Received at Toxic.

PEKING, Nov. 26.-The question
Of pe-establishment OF monarohiaI
form of government In China has
been overshadowed for the time
being by the discussion OF the pro-
pCsal that China enter the entente
alliance. which is attracting wide at
tention. The Chinese press In gen.
eral seems to be inclined favorably
tC ward the proposal and regards the
attitude of Japan as the principal
barrier which might be interposed.
The newspapers take the view that IL
Japan seconds the invitation of its allies.
China would not refuse to enter the en-
tente. The japanese minister, Eki Hioko,
declines to discuss the position of his
government.
The Chinese public is following edi-
torials in the japanese newspapers I'm an
effort to discover from them the probable
attitude at Toxic. An editorial reprinted
from the Mainichl ShimpuE =: Osaka
Japan, by the Peking Gazette today,
says:
China Is a life and death problem to
Japan. Japan should be absolutely free
and independent so far as concerns its
relations with China. Japan should not
for moment lose its standing as the
guardian of peace In the far east"
