THE BOARDMAN MIRROR VOLUME II BOARDMAN, OREGON; FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1922 NUMBER 20 CANTON IS TAKEN BY GENERAL CHEN Dr. Sun Yat Sen Flees and Unification of China May Now Be Possible. PLAN IJKJ FOURTH OF J I LX t fc, l , t UK I Hi Pekln While the troops of General Chen Chlung-Ming captured the city of Canton, capital of the South China republic, the body-guard of President Sun Yat Sen fought from the presi dential palace, according to a dispatch from Canton. Sun escaped to VVham poa on a gunboat. The greatest two obstacles to the reunion of China, namely. Dr. Sun Yat Sen and General Chang Tso-Lin, ap parently are eliminated and the pros pect for bringing the whole republic under one government seems brighter than at any time since the establish ment of the South China regime at Canton in 1918. The fall of the southern leader is aid to have been the result of an agreement between General Wu Pel-Fu, dominant military chieftain of north ern China, President Li Yuan-Hung and Chen Chlung-Ming, formerly Sun Yat-Sen's supporter, but who latterly came out in favor of a reunited China. Official circles here assert the elimination of Sun-Yat-Sen will mean speeding up of the plans to reunify the country. However, they issue the warning that counter-revolution may develop if Sun is able to gather enough troops about him to launch a drive to regain Canton. Unless Sun is able to retrieve his lost authority, it Is believed that Chen Chiung-Ming's coup will result in many southern members of the old re publican parliament proceeding to Pekin and establishing the necessary quorum to put that legislative body in legal motion once again.
