 \ Leading Power in Fifty Years.
 It is because of the special studies he has made in the economic and so- ciological conditions in China that Rev. Neumann's deductions are particularly interesting. The place which China holds among the powers, and the pros poets of her future have been sub jects of much speculation. The mis- sionary believes Yuan Shi Kai is the only man who can save China and guarantee her a great future and this feeling is general in the country. He
 believes that if the present autocratic
 head of the republic is permitted to live ten years longer, the future of China will be assured and if Chris tianity continues it's work among tho people, the republic will be one of the leading powers of the world in fifty years.
 When questioned today regarding Japan's attitude toward China at this ] time, Rev. MT. Neumann said: "Ja- pans attitude officially toward China is similar to that which the United States assumes toward south Amer ica, the policy originated by the Mon- roe Doctrine. Japan says that Flu
 ropean nations shall not encroach upon the land in China. Japan, however wants to get such a position there ; as will enable her to take any ad- vantage which may offer itself and keep out western nations from a share in the natural resources of the vast country. Japan's population and
