HEAD OF PEACE
 SOCIETY PLEADS FOR YUAN SHl-kAl
Yang Tu, for Monarchy Advo- cate, Gives President
 Support.

Picking. June 2-Yang Tu. organizer and chief promoter of the Chou An Hui or the Society for the Preserva- ton of Peace, which fostered the mon aszchfaI movement. ha~i issued an ap-. peal to the military and civil gover-- nors of the various provinces and to the newspapers of Shanghai, asking them to support Yuan Shi-kai as pres limitation and save China@from fur ther disturbances.
 Yang Tu assumes full responsibility for the organizing of the, monarchical movement, and confesses the misfor- tunes which the movement has peal that he still believes the monar- chy would be the best form of gov ernnent for China, land that it was mistake to cancel the monarchy. How ever, since the imona4chy is cancelled, Yang Tu believes that all leaders in China should join the movement to support Yuan Shi-kai and restore or der. He says in his announcement:
 Nov that the monarchy has been cancelled. everything should be over. But some people go so far as to de- mand the abdication of the present only can we enjoy the permanent i peace of a monarchy, but even the temporary peace of republic will be denied us. But for the effort of the present Ch1eT executive, peace ana or der could never have been maintained in the country for the last few years; and the woes of a republic would have already been realized if the second revolution had not been suppressed. You simply suggest abdicafion with out guaranteeing anything. When the nation has no ruler able enough to succeed the present chief executive, chaos will certainly be brought about. You charge him for having restored the monarchy, without realizing that it is the whole nation that favored the change. and that it is I, Yang Tu. who first started the discussion.
 ssIf there are any changes against the monarchical movement, I am re- sponsfble for them all. My views are unshaken; nobody else could influence my mind. I am still in fear that the republican form of tgovernment will ultimately ruin our country. When g ship is wrecked in the great sea, lone surely cannot survive. have not yet found a suitable place to end this sorrowfu1 life. If by sacrificing myself, I can be of any service to my country, any sort of death will be te me as sweet sugar.
