The line of cleavage which the

establish a republic, with a capt.
tai at either Nanking-close to
the mouth of the Yanktsze-or at
Canton, composed of nine prov
inces.
The north, which has never
been in close harmony with the
south, similarly would build up
another government about the
eight northern provinces.
Russia and Japan, as result
of the struggle in Manchuria,
now practically possess the
eighteenth of the old provinces.
These two powers have tho
greatest interest in a new map
OF China.

Can the Chinese republic hold to-

Or is the country on the verge

China's fourth revolution has
brought the republic face. to face
with her challenging weakness
the hostility existing between the
north and the south.
The new president, whose pre-

the stamp of the north upon them,
must conciliate the south or crush
its insurgency. Unless the south

government based upon the par
lament Ii YuanAhung dissolved

dark.
