CHINA MAY RETURN
TO A MONARCHY
Fund Being Created to Promote Sympa-
thy for That Form of Government,
Say Chinese Newspapers.

Pekin, Oct. 23.--The newspapers an
nounce that the promoters of the Peace
society (called in Chinese the Chou An
Hell have recently received 100000 for
the purpose of promoting sympathy for
the potential monarchy throughout the
country, and it is estimated in some
quarters that this sum has come from
government circles.
The Pekin Gazette says that "a weeks
study OF the supreme issue raised by
Mr.. Yang Tu and his fellow promoters
Of the Chou An Huei leaves us con-
WINGED that--unless the menace indicated
further on is understood--a monarehial
restoration in China is a certainty"
Referring to the Marking agreement
between President Yuan's party and the
revolutionary government which was es-
tablished at Marking, the paper says;
This settlement is understood by the
South in the sense Of great national
charter which forever ended the cycle OF
alien conquest that hitherto swept Chi.
pa; aud 1t is also priced as the title-deed
which vests in the nation a country
hitherto governed as the private domain
OF the reigning monarch and his house.
The South looks upon the national set
Element done at Marking as the funda-
mental bulwark against the recurrence
of ancient wrongs and aches; and, right
~ or wrongly. il is a living fear there
in the region on and beyond the Yang
tse-kiang that II the republic and the
great human things and aspirations de-
noted by the idea disappear and pass
into the night haunted by the ghosts
Of the past, the force and power Of hab-
il. custom, tradition and the other agen.
cies of national environment will drive
ns to the re-establishment of a system
not unlike in essentials 10 the regime
that was shattered in 1911.
"The question OF expediency has also
ccutered itself about the personality Of
the new monarch. No Chinese that il
not a slave in spirit would care 20 see
his country ruled BY an aliens and If
