A CHINESE COMEBACK

One of the most remarkable episodes in history is the
prospective comeback of Dr. Sun Vat Sen first president
az republican China president of South China after the
republic was cleft by civil recent exile from Canton
and now promised president of reunited China
There are two two heroes in this episode Dr. Sun
himself and Gen WI Pei Fu military dictator of North
China The latter is such example of magnanlmlty as
would be hard to find in the western world.
When a new uprising appeared in North China a few
months ago headed by bandit boss named Chang from
Manchra, Dr. Sum- for some unexplained reason backed
Chang against the established governmenwhch is to say
against Gen Wu formerly his friend He picked the wrong
horse Gen. w. contrary to expectations promptly lcked
Gen Chang out of his and the people of Canton who
liked Gen W. were so indignant that they drove Dr. Sun
away - 11
This patriot of many adventures seemed done for He
had no army to speak of and little political backing And
in this crushing situation SUM- with sublime effrontery,
came forward and demanded the presidency of all China
The world laughed contemptuously, but recent dis
patches indicate that may be putting it over Gen Wu
has forgiven him and upheld his candidacy for the Pekn
presidency which the present incumbent mere figure
head does not want If South China will uphold its exed
leader China may be really united under President sun
That asslredly would be fine thing for China and Tor
the world Dr. Sun is the original leader of the republican
movement in China cultivated gentleman, Amerlcaned
ucaed of excellent character and progressive IDEAS better
fitted perhaps than any other Chnaman to bridge the gulf
between the old and the bring CHINA into under
standing and cooperation with America and Europe
