| TOSpOLUGIlJs | Shanghai, Oct. 4-Declaring that the war which has divided China for 1 the last six years is now ended and 1 that with the agreement on the part | of the northern militarists to support l constitutionalism the period of strug- gle for democracy in China by force has passed, Sun Yat Sun strikes a bright note for the future of China upon his arrival in Shanghai from Canton.
 China is at the turning point to- day, and from now on the struggle for republica nism must be carried on through the weight of public opfn- | ion" said Dr. Sun at his residence in Shanghai, where he is holding confer ences with representatives of various political and military groups. NIilitarists Capitulate.
 After struggling for constitutions alism for the last six years the mil itaristS up north have at last come to the realization that they must sup port this cause. They realize that to place the nation on firm basis, law and order must reign and that the Legislature must perform it's func- lions freely, without any outside in Reference.
 Whether they are sincere as to fwhat they profess or not we are not concerned at present Because if they are sincere, and we fail to do our duty. the nation must be just as cha otic and law1ess as it has been for the last decade. On the other hand, the press the genuine public opinion must prevent them from going back on their own assertions.

 ''I believe that the republican form of government has come to China to stay. No one hereafter will dare to adyoeate fa a change to the monarch hailitarists of today may still enter tain this ambition.
 We have had unification by ty- ranny and unification by militarisn- but what China needs is a permanent unification effected through constitu- tional1sm. A trem endous responsi- bility rests with the press of China To the press is entrusted the respon- sibiHty of diffusing the real essence of constitutionalism among the masses and of watching every move made by the militarists. so that the true ideals Of dem ocracy may be carried out in China
