Gen. Hwang Hsing, better known TO
Americans as Wong Hing-that being
the usual spelling in English-arriVed
on the Shinyo Maru this morning on
his way to China. He is regarded as
one of the biggest men in the ranks
of Chinese republicans.
Gentlemen, China is destined to go
to the front rank of nations with a
good government, but we must unite
and be true to the principles OF liber-
ty. Never will China take her place
in the world unless the people are
given a right to q. place in the public
affairs. Yuan realized his mistake in
his plan for monarchy. In the Am

his bluff, and, gentlemen, they will
continue to do SO until he resigns as
president of China"
When asked this morning regarding
the future of China, Gen. Hwang said:
China will begin a new era when
Yuan is out of the presidents chair.
We will then form a republic with a
parliament and a premier, and the
people of China will select some man
to lead them who has the true prin-
ciples of republic as an asset.
Education to Advance. f..
"The Parliament will decide whether
the capital shall be at Marking or Pc
king, and the president will not be
given absolute power. Education will
advance and the plans that are now
being adopted would give Chinese the
benefit of an educational system sec
ond to none. In addition the military
schools will be encouraged and con.
scription may be used to aid in the
military work. rs. II 81.
