THE DANGER IN CHINA
Commenting on the trouble in China, the Pall Mall Gazette sayß that President Yuan Shih-Kai will have to fight desperately to maintain his .position. " If ,he is overthrown China will soon lapse into an anarchy worse thai\ visible in Persia. The present outbreak is not a rising of the people agaitot oppression. It is the reckless work of Jealous and revengeful politicians. It is tho struggle of the provincial authorities against a strong centralised control 'at Pekin. It is the outburst of forces of disruption, and may at last shake asunder the ponderous fabric of • China, which has been holding together by ■ its sheer weight, and not by cement 'or girders or buttresses. " Some of the generals and governors in the south want power at any price, and are evidently ready to smash China in the attempt to get it."
