The King sat and talked on a black slik divan, with black skull cap set at a jaunty angle, and ser- wants bowed their way in and out of his presence.
"No, no. I never wish to be emperor again." he remarked with a melancholy note in his voice, as he discussed his own position in China.
"It is no sinecure," he anid, "but a great responsibility to be an em- peror or a King to-day.
"A good emperor or king must be the representative and the father of his people. I am not good enough to be the father of the people of China: not fit enough morally or mentally.

"Japan, I know, will help him, because she realises that her own interests are threatened.

She can help with money and in a military way, for without some assistance of this kind Chang Tso-lin, who has remained in power so long only because of the support of the Japanese, can scarcely be expected to hold out against the combined forces of the South which | are now pressing northward to bring about his downfall."
