Since Mrs. Sun Ching-Ling was re-
oelved in Moscow with ceremonies
like those accorded the legendary
Queen of Sheba. she proclaims daily
that the Yangtze Valley government
has no right to pretend to be the ma
tional representatives of the Chinese
people. and the unity of the revolu-
tionary proletariat at China and Rus
sia is insoluble. Her husha nd's last
will ordered her to proclaim this in
Moscow. Hence. it is supposed the
intelligent social reformer himself had
been converted to bolshevism.
Suns Diary Burned.
As Suns manuscripts and diary
were burned it is impossible to know
the exact details of his general plan.
but he seems to have been more of
reformer than a revolutionary. 1t is

been redeemed in blood.
Where the picture is more effec-
tual than the thought and where only
the event, not its logical origin and
evolution, is obvious the masses are
easily deluded into thinking two out
wardly similar movements are one.
All the same, the cunning bolshevists
thought it necessary to trust an all
important creed to women. speaking
rather from the heart than from the
understanding.
Juliana Also Makes History.
While in the East two widows are
spreading the gospel of revolution. in
the West a young girl, whose charm
is increased by purple veil, is try
ing to popularize monarchy. Juliana,
the 1S-year-old Crown Princess of the
Netherlands, which has been ruled for
the last 81 years by women, and. ac-
Cording to human estimates, will con.

Learns Her Duties.
There, in daily communion with
other young people, Juliana is learning
of the constitution of the land whose
crown she viii wear. and what duties
and rights Queen has in relation to
the houses of Parliament and foreign
powers. Must this not attract young
