attempt to restore the monarchy
for China by a rebel general, Char
Hsun. One week ago to-day the old
dragon flags were flung to the
breeze and all felt there was to be
real return to the things of for
mer times before the Republic had
its birth. The rebel general came
to Peking and took the President
captive after compelling him to sign
a statement giving up the office of
president, he then proceeded to the
palace where the Boy Emperor
lives since the beginning of the Re-
public at an" annual allowance of
S4,000,000 a year and elevated HIM
to the throne as Emperor. All the
foreign residents in the city felt
sure that a revolution and general
period of local disorder was GER
tainly expected for the troops of
the rebel have a bad reputation for
looting when they are turned loose
on a city. The Legations warned
their nationals to be ready at anJ
moment to move into the legation
for more adequate protection than
can be secured alone in their in
dividual compounds. We passed
some rather fearful nights but as
yet nothing much has taken place
and it is now rumored that the
rebel has decided to abdicate from
his position and l guess he will for
head. If this blows over it will
mean lot to the strengthening of
the Republic afterward and it will
not have been in vain. There is no
need to worry over events for they
are taking care of themselves in
most excellent fashion at the pres
ent moment. One thing such an
event shows is the lack of stability
and moral courage among the men
of China and if they don't soon get
rid of the term the yellow" race
(cowards) 1 don't see much hope
for them as a world power.
You have already been advised, I
imagine from the New York office
of the recent cable which came to me
relative to my staying in Peking an
other year. The Y. M. c. A. is not
sending any men to China, L am
told, this year, and the problem of
successor might have been a diff
cult also. There was some chance
l might go to Mesopotamia with the
Princeton Y. M. c. A. among the
British Troops or possibly to the
French front"
