Shanghai, although il i under foreign
protection. while his old encly Yuan Shi-
kai was in power.
Dr. Suns part in the aburtive revolu-
ton OF 1918 won him little favor in Chi
ma. Chinese of practically all classes
were unwilling TO countenance another
revolution until Yuan Shi-kai had been
given 4 longer opportunity to demon
strate his efficiency.

much Younger. The only trace which his
long strenuous years Of political agitation
IN ChIna AVE left on HIM. - grayhair.
His mou>tache j. also slightly gray. But

DIR. Sun was not content with being in

viewer.

Quoted there tor the reorganization ~ the
movement. The revolutionary leader said
he would probably 20 TO the capital later

Tn foreign press ia China, - well a.
the more conservative Chinese press. has
been somewhat critical OF the acton Of the
ultra republicans in accepting Ia. sun
back into theiS council. Ills long resi-
dence in Japan and reports that he j.
thoroughly in sympathy with the Japanese
policy in China, have placed him in an
unfavorable light before a large section
of the Chinese public
DIR. Sun. however, l. insistent that Chi
mas welfare l. ever uppermost IN his
mind. and that he favor better relations
with Japan solely because he believes
that a better understanding be.vea tn
two countries viii result in great benefit
to China
