CH1NA'S NEW PRESIDENT.
Experienced Statesman of the
Manchu Days-A Peacemaker.

Correspondents Of the Associated Press.
PEKING, September 25-Hsu Shin
chang. China's new president, is 4
man to whom most Chinese can look
up to as an experienced statesman of
the Manchu days. Moreover, he has
great literary achievements which his
countrymen admire, and is peace
maker to such an extent that even
the rump parliament functtoning at
Canton may also elect him president.
He has the added qualifications of not
being a military man.
It is not expected, however, that he
will hold office for any great length
of time. certainly not for the full Pc
riod of five years. and the vice presi
dent will then automatically become
president.
