PEKIN. Oct 20. Present strangles
in China are believed to be resulting
in tho consolidation rather than th
disintegration of China. The over
throw of the Manchu dynasty by arms
left many unsolved problems, among
them tho following: Should the new
government be a monarchy or a repub
lic? Should the capital be at Pekin or
at Nankin? Should the ruler be Yuan
Ehl-kal or Sun Yat Sen? Should the
central government be strengthened or
should China remain a loose aggregate
of seml-indeDendent provinces?
These problems were settled not by
force but by compromise, in which the
views of the South were accepted as
to the form Of government, and those
of the North on the second and third
problems; while the fourth problem,
the relative strength of the central
government and the provinces, was left
unsolved. These conclusions were
reached by the consent of Yuan Shi-kai
to the adoption of the republic, and by
the decision of Li Yuan Hung, wno nad
charge of the revolutionary forces, and
of all tho more thoughtful leaders of
China in favor of Yuan Shi-kal for the
nresidencv.
The first problem which confronted
Yuan Shi-kal as Provisional President
and the new government was the prob
lem of finance.
The finances of China in general are
In good condition, so far as Indebted
ness and the annual expenditures of the
nation are concerned. The total in

deficit for these six months of more
than Xa8.000.000.
The war has brought five serious
dangers to China: First, It has com
nnilod a considerable Increase in ex
penses at a critical time and it has
disorganized the industries of Central
China and in some measure or au tni
na so that temporarily the nation is in
as bad a financial condition as at the
close of the revdlution. Second, it left
the nation helpless against further
aggression by Russia and Japan, and
Russia has taken advantage 01 me cri

German Ruler Declares "Until Wars
Cease Our Army Will Be the
Rock of Bronze on Which
Peace Is Founded."
BERLIN; Oct. 20. The fourth volume
of the speeches of Emperor William,
delivered during the years 1906 to 1912,
has just appeared, its 826 pages crowd
ed with addresses and toasts on all
kinds of subjects, sustaining his repu
tation as the greatest royal speech
maker of the present era.
The collection contains many of the
epigrammatic utterances of momentous
political declarations which have from
time to time created a stir In Germany
and in the world, sijch as his declara
tions on woman's sphere and divine
right at Koenlghserg in 1910: his proc
lamation of himself as optimist and be
liever In his fellow men: his contempt
for pessimists; his repeated expression
of his belief In Divine Providence and
his warning against kitemperance, de
livered to the students of the Academy
at Cassell. Among the most Interesting
and characteristic passages in the new
collection are the following:
The world belongs to the living and
the living know best. I will tolerate
no pessimists; whoever Is not ready
to work may drop out and, if he wishes,
hunt up a country better suited to
him."
Support la Wanted.
"I want to progress. I should be de
lighted if people only understood what
I am trying to do and would give me
their support We are bound to con
sider every man honest until he has
proved the contrary. This is the prin
ciple on which I have always dealt with
everyone with whom I have to do. The
results are occasionally bad, but one
mustn't be dissuaded by that . . .
With a bit of healthy optimism and a
brighter and more confident view of
life, more progress is made In one's life
and one's life-work than If everything
Is viewed with pessimistic eyes. The
same applies to statesmanship. . . ,
What good comes of discouragement?
Far better to work on with an eye to
the future. I work on undiscouraged.
