Ii YUAN HUNG

HARRISBURG people are more
than ordinarily interested in de-
velopments in China following
the death OF Yuan Shi Kai. The
Groffs, the Dubs and other families
we'll known in the world of Christian
missions are helping to hold the
far-flung battle line OF the Church in
that distant land. and whatever affects
them is reflected in the minds and
anNieties of their numerous friends
and relatives hereabouts. Peace in
China means peace OF mind for many
people in and about Harrisburg. and
hundreds are praying that the progress
of civilization may not be stayed under
the administration of Ii Yuan Hung.
the new President.
Ii is we'll known to some of the
Harrisburg missionaries, having been
at one time governor OF Hankow,
which city is the headquarters of DIR.
c. Newton Dubs, superintendent of the
United Evangelical missions in China
and a former resident of this city. He
has a large following in the north of
China and at times has displayed very
strong tendencies toward radical re-
publicanism, but his history is not one
to inspire great confidence.
When the revolution of 1911. which
resulted in the overthrow of the
Manchus. broke out, Ii Yuan Hung
was a colonel in the army of the en-
pire and his soldiers gave him the
choice OF leading them against the tot
tering forces of royalty or of standing
before a wall at sunrise. Ii imme-
diately switched his allegiance and
showed such marked ability as
leader under the flag of the revolution
lists that at the close of hostilities he
was made vice-president and held that
position without interruption until the
death of President Yuan.
But for a time he and Yuan were
on anything but good terms, Ii object
ing strongly TO the rapid trend OF his
superior toward a return TO autocracy,
and took no pains 20 conceal his feel
ings. But again he switched and be-
came Yuan's most trusted lieutenant
at Peking.
Ii Yuan Hung is a strong, vigorous
able man, but his past is not such as
to convince those who have followed
his career OF his sincerity of purpose
or in the stability.of his opinions.

Captain G. Chal. Port. who also

captain, when he was in charge of
Pennsylvania railroad poIice, looked

they come around and ask whether he
recalls when their close relatives were
poStmasters at Starrucca or Walnut
port or whether so and so is still liv-
ing at McAllistersville. They file into
the pink tea room which is Pennsyl-
vania headquarters and ask for some
one from Pennsylvania. There is al
ways a delegate or two there and the

tract is to be known as the Bandelier

was one of our great men, man
whose career was as colorful and ad-
venturous as that of some medieval

I'VE are nation of takers. We

tell stories and relate incidents to our
