Recently, however, China's government had recourse to arms and this had revealed shortcomings in her political administration. China had not been recognised by the Powers which shaped their policies according to whether or not they saw that the Chinese were capable of maintaining order; so said the President. But President Yuan has shown himself capable of maintaining order, is hand- ling of the recent revolt difcovered his strength and his capacity question as to what constitutes noon, and it partook of the formal for the outside world which was not slow to recognize bis qualities. fair travelling expenses It is perhaps not too much to say, indeed, that that revolt helped to public servanta bas been in dis-istic of these meetings of late. of nature which has beon character- hasten recognition.
