DR. SUN YAT-SEN'S DEATHBED VISION.

PRICE, $3.00 Per Month.

Leader's Suggestion of 5-Year Foreign Garrisons.

The late Dr. Sun Yat-sen has been described by his soundest critics as a dreamer and a vision ary. He has been accused of extending the first overtures to Russia and he is blamed for being responsible for the foothold Communism has gained in China, or strictly, in Canton.

But history has yet to record his proposals to the Treaty Powers, through the United States and Great Britain, whereby he wanted foreign intervention-arrued if needs be to evolve order out. of chaos in China, with non-Chinese garrisons in the capitals and a complete form of government-- for a stated period. How this did not come to pass because-to use our correspondent's own words- the Powers got cold feet," is related in the article below."
