the new emporer hopes to obviate when he starts to build the new liberal empire of China, a political govern ment too strong in it's unity to be Overthrown or weakened by ambitions or party dissension.
 Hence it is the opinion here that the coronation of Yuan Shin Kai per haps will be accompanied only by a military review and the delivery of an inaugural address by the emperor.
 This is merely a matter of conject- ure, however, for the new empire will create it's own ceremonies ana customs, and will attempt to deviate from those of the imperial powers and dynasties that have gone before.

BROWNING OF EMPEROR
 WILL BANISH OLD CUSTOMS

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 PEKING, March 2S.-When Yuan Shih Km is crowned emperor of China, if he is, it will be the first peaceful coronation in the annals of that empire. The attendant cere- monies will be entirely new to Chinese history, although they have not as yet been formulated and perhaps will not be until the parliament has been call ed together late in May or early in June.
 Every other coronation in China has been either the occasion for the cele- bration of a military victory and a political overthrow, or it has been at tended with mourning over the death of an emperor.
 The custom of the Chinese in the ease of the death of the emperor al- ways has been to announce first that the heir apparent had assumed the crown and then, within three hours, to follow that with the announcement of the death of the emperor.
 The announcement of the demise of the ruler always has brought with it a period of three years of national mourning, during which time there have been no national ceremonies or celebrations. At the end of the period of mourning the emperor had merely laid aside his clothes of mourning and donncd the royal robes
 When the coronation has been the result of a military victory and a political overthrow it always has been an occasion for a military celebration, the announcement of the creation of new nobles, grand military review and fetes and parades of those who are benefited by the new regime.
 These celebrations have been, like all military celebrations, most elaborate.
 There has been a great display of wealth and pomp and the feting of the nobles in the Chinese manner, to- gether with an array of the military power of the new ruler and a joyous dispay of the spells of war.
 It seems most likely, however, that the coronation of Yuan Shin Kai will be a simple and democratic affair, for he has chosen as the name of his reign, Hung Hsien," which in Eng Ilish means "the reign of the Grand ! Constitution
 The new emperor has chosen to make this reign one for the people. 1t is unlikely that inc will create any new nobles, and his entrance to office likely will not be attended by any show of regality of superiority over the masses, for this is the very thing
