BY C, P, STEWART International Correspondent, Former- ly Stationed in China ‘Political trouble, varyingly acute, has prevailed in China almost uninter- ; ruptedly since 1913, Dut rather to the incompetency than to the corruption and misgov- ernment of the Manchu government, revolution had been simmering some | time, but it received its impetus through the activities of Dr. Sun Yat Sen. He acquired republican views in the course of an occidental education and returning home went to work to conevrt his countrymen. The bulk of the population cared but little about the matter, but by 1913 there was a small but influen- tial” element, including most of the young men. who had studied abroad, who agreed with Sun. Women: Take a Hand In addition there was a liberal -wo- men’s movement beginning to make | itself felt, Soldiers of fortune from the occi- dent ,especially former members of the. American forces in the Philip- pines, looking for good jobs, did: their | part. Finally leaders of the bandit gangs, some of which reach the pro- Portions of small armies, saw an ex- cellent chance for loot and supported anything of promise along that line. Northern and southern China, di- vided roughly by the Yangtse river, always have been, so far as sympa- thies were concerned, two different countries. Dr, Sun readily won most of the south, The north remained gen- erally-monarchistic. Sun set up a tentative southern republic, with himself as. provisional president and his headquarters at ‘Nanking. Yuan Was “Strong Man.” In the meantime the Manchu gov- ernment, greatly alarmed, had given the premiership to China's. “strong man,” Yuan Shi Kai. Yuan had been in disgrace with the /Manchus but his services were necessary. Later the baby emperor abdicated and Yuan went in as president of the north. ‘Overtures were then made to Dr. Sun. The doctor, an altruist and dreamer, agreed to retire, to save bloodshed, in Yuan’s favor as presi- dent of all China,-conditioned upon the latter's establishmeht of a gen- uinely republican regime,.. These terms Yadan accepted and the whole country passed into his hands, ‘He was a vigorous and very able ruler and would have wound up as nominal as well ag actual emperor if he had lived. Since his death, no man big enough to dominate all factions has appeared. Cause of Present War. The sityation which immediately Preceded present hostilities was this: Dr. Sun, again in control of the southern provinces, is said to have signed a pact with Gen. ang, in the north, to work for a plan where- by Dr. Sun would be president of all China and Chang would be the yice president. This agreement was made at Mukden. Soon after, Chang sent troops. to cut the railroad near Peking. and to sejze the ‘Peking government from President Hsu Chang. - General Wu Pei-fu, who is in control of the cen- tral provinces and who regards him- self as a guardian of thea Hsu ad- ministration thereupon brought his troops into the field; Chang launched an attack and announced his inten- tion of holding his grip on Peking.
