Nearly Million and Half

BY JOSEPH TIMMONS

A million three hundred thousand
soldiers infest China.
The most pacifist of nations, Chi.
ma, is today one of the greatest suf-
ferers from domestic militarism.
For the most part these soldiers
!. are commanded by the military tech
uns or governors, resident in the
I provinces. The militarists who COM
prise the Picking government, main
tain themselves in power by virtue
of combination with the military
techuns of the northern provinces
which surround Picking.
The Chinese people are the truest
/ democrats in the world. The Incl
dence of central government control
is light upon them and in the main
they are governed by custom and
family and guild authority
The government of China is mill
tary autocracy which maintains it.
self by force of plotting in spite of
the indignant opposition of such pub
lie opinion as exists, which is the
public opinion Of the small majority
of educated Chinese.
When the powers deal with the
Peking government they are not
dealing with the republic of China.
There is in fact no republic of Chi
ma. There never. has been. In so
far as they strengthen the Picking
government and extend its authori-
ty they are perpetuating military
oligarchy and retarding the evolu-
ton of China into a real republic.
Americans should sympathize
with the Chinese people because they
are democratic, with yearnings to-
ward republican institutions. They
owe no sympathy whatever to the
government of China, which is mill
tarist, autocratic, corrupt, base. If
they come fully to understand this,
the American people will demand
that their government shall SO shape
its course that the present Picking
government shall be eliminated and
the people of China given chance
to evolve republic, to make the
republic of China an actuality in
stead of an empty name.
The people of the United States
have been deceived by the meaning

ma into the sisterhood of republics.
The fact is that there has never been
a real revolution in China. The abor-
tive revolution in 1911 got only far

enough to give group Of ambition
generals an opportunity to get Ri
Of the Manchu dynasty and max
themselves the rulers of China. No
even for a brief interval was Chin
actually a republic.
| Until the people Of America un
derstand the baseness, the corrup
ton and the military character O
the Picking government, there can b,
little hope that our state department
will have a policy with backbone
enough in it to stop all direct or in
direct support of the shameless com
bination which the powers recognize
as the government of China.
From Yuan Shih-kai, the first
president, down to the present
through the effort of Yuan to make
himself emperor, the dissolutions OF
parliament and settings up of false
parliaments, the restoration of the
Manchu boy emperor in 1915 and his
prompt overthrow and the succession
of secret Vaccinations with the Jap
lanese, the Peking government has
been a military autocracy.
As time went on and changes
came about in the personnel both Of
the tuchhuns and the leadership at
Picking, the tuchuns became more
and more powerful. They ignore the
commands of the central govern
ment. They refuse to disband their
armies. The Picking clique let's them
absorb practically all of the pro-
vincial revenues in order to keep
them and their armies between Pc
king and the forces commanded by
other tuchuns, who would otherwise
smash the Picking government and
put new gang into office.
Deprived of revenue from the
provinces, the Picking government
borrows money from the, Japanese,
on secret conditions. Their need is
pressing and the Japanese drive hard
bargains. These Japanese loans
since 1915 total some $200,000,000.
No one knows in detail what the
Japanese have got in return, but
such details as are known make it
evident they have got so much in
and exclusive rights that
they will be richly repaid even If
they never get back dollar of prin-
cipal or interest.

Hsuan Tung, the sixteen-year-oli
boy emperor, without an empire, the
Last Of the Manchu dynasty, holds
mock court in splendid palaces al
the northern end of the Forbidden
city and plays at ruling China.
Tsao Ju-lin, former minister Of

English Runners Defeat Americans
 in TWO-Mile Relay

Philadelphia, May 1--English var sity runners scored an international triumph here today when the com bined Oxford Cambridge University teams of half milers defeated the leading college quartets of this coun- try in the two mile championship re- lay race. the feature contest of the University of Pennsylvania's twenty sixth annual relay carnival. Forced to run at terrific speed by their Amer ican competitors the visiting colle- gians showed that their victory was in no manner fluke by taking hte lead in the third quarter and finishing in new worlds record time of seven minutes, 50 seconds for the two miles.
 The four runners, w. G. Tatham, Cambridge; H. B. Stallard, Cam. bridge: w. R. Milligan, Oxford, and B. G. D. Rudd, Oxford, clipped 2 3-5 seconds from the previous record which was held jointly by the Irish American A. c. team which first set 2 minutes, 53 seconds in 1910, and the Yale runners equaled the time in 1916.
 Next to the two mile championship race with it's international flavor, chief interest centered in the one and four mile American college title re- lays. In the one mile event, Pennsql- vania won by 20 yard margin.
 The four mile relay went to Penn sylvania State College team which de- feated seven other varsity combina- tions.
 | The field events were sharply con tested but no records were broken.
