ing Recalled.

Government has been officially advised OF
the intention Of China to send DR.. V. Is.
wellington Koo to Washington as minis
ter I'm place Of Kai Flu Shah, who Is

of much Significance. DR.. koo is protese
of President Yuan Shi-Kai, and for years

prefer. Since the resignation OF Sun Pao
Chi from the portfolio of foreign affairs.
it has generally been understood that his
friend, Kai Flu Shah, the present minis
ter here, also would resign There have

Chinese negotiations.
The sending Of DR. Koo who spent eight
years at Columbia University. receiving
a master Of arts degree and a doctorate
OF philosophy, is taken to Indicate de-
sire on the part Of President Yuan Shi-
Kai not only to have in the United states
a personal representative conversant with
American customs and diplomacy, but
to be prepared in the event the European
powers ultimately accept American
mediation In the war; to have the In
terests of China here in the hands of one
thoroughly familiar with China's aims
and aspirations.
DR.. Koo Is understood also to be SYM
pathetic with the proposed change OF
China from a republic to a pa Elementary
monarchy.
The prospective minister to the United
States is under 80 years of age. and speaks
English perfectly. He made a brilliant
record in Columbia University, being
scholarship. Besides being a friend of
the President OF China, he Is a favorite OF
Lin Tseng-Tsiang, the present minister
OF foreign affairs His wife Is the daugh-
ter Of Tong Shao-Yi, the first minister Of
foreign affairs OF the new republic.
When DR.. Koo arrived In Washington
three weeks ago he had been appointed
Chinese minister to Mexico. He was pre-
scented to Secretary Lansing by Kat Flu
Shah, the present minister here, and Mr..
Lansing entertained him at dinner. DR..
Koo sailed from New York on october for
France and England on a mission that
has not been disclosed here. He Is at
present in London and Is expected to re-
turn to Washington in a few weeks to
