According to a message published by the Eastern News Agency, members of the Canton Parliament are at present engaged in drafting a resolution calling upon the Kuangtung army and President to take that Tsao Kun of Chihli and Wu Pei-fu are old classmates and friends, that loyalty to Tsao is the motive of Wu's actions and that, in siding with Peking in the, Yangtze turmoil, Wu Pei-fu is really helping to build up Tsao Kun's power against Chang Tso-lin. We do not pretend to read these riddles. We have but tried to set down some of the main features in this confusing landscape for remembrance against the} in hand the subjugation of President Hsu Shih-chang.
And with his emissaries already at the Hupeh front, taking a hand in the movement against Wang Chan-yuan, Dr. Sun Yat-sen is doubtless quite inclined to undertake the task, provided it be not too perilous. Only he may remember 1913 and the "Punish Yuan" campaign which came to such a sorry end. His supporters set this rebellion afoot from here half way to Hankow, proclaiming their object as the punishment of Yuan Shih-kai, then President. for his misdeeds, the said punishment to include his possible discovery of a clue. Of which discovery, however, we prompt dismissal from office. The principal results of che attempt uncomfortable days from shells which went wide of their mark, that the forces who set out to punish the President were themselves the victims of what punishment was going, that a number of the leaders found a convenient refuge in Japan and that a few of Yuan's soldiers were well rewarded for their work, Li Hou-chi, for instance, who fought the engagement at Kiangwan, ultimately rising to be Tuchun of Fukien.. Ié is just as well to remember this particular effort, for if history is now repeating itself in its preliminary steps, it may repeat itself still more later on.
