WANTED: AN EMPEROR! According to the China Gazsite another stage has been reached in the Peking Our contemporary states that it is reported in well informed circles that the Empress Dowager and the Members of the Imperia! Clan have definitely selected an adopted son of the late Emperor TUNG CHIн as the successor of Kwave Hsu, and that he will be proclaimed Emperor at an early date. when it will be declared that the selection of KWANG HSU was a mistake from the beginning and has brought un- precedented disasters upon China.
Should this report prove to be true the "whole of the Entpress Dowager's scheming and treachery at once becomes apparent. KWANG HSU was'never 111; He is not dead; he never consented to the appointment of the Empress Dowager as Regent and the late edicts, although issued in his name, are the work of the Conservative party who have forced him from the throne.. KANG Hst was not unsuited for the position which | he held. but he was unsuited to be the tool of the Empress Dowager.

He saw, or was beginning to see, that the conservative policy of China during the last fifty years had been her ruin; her enemies had advanced and she had not and he was able to appreciate the fact that, if the interrity of the Empire was to be maintained, China must have the means of helping herself, and in order to obtain those means western methods must be adopted.
