More than three decades of peace
followed the accession of Diaz to the
presidency in 1876. The revolution of
1910 resulted in the driving away of
the. superintendents and managers
and the taking of
property which could be transported
by the revolutionlsts. The lands them-
selves were finally taken over by the
revolutionary Government.

with no one able to approach him
further. Why? .
Two reasons may be given in reply.
First a Chinaman is not a heroic
soldier. He is not ready to do the
Robson act and sink a Merrimac
loaded \xith TNT beside the “Ping
Fung. as he realizes that in setting
off the charge to destroy the ship he
will doubtless destroy himself too.
One man could do it if he «lid not
value his life at all. but the Chinaman
thinks a great deal of his skin, and.
remember. that skin is yellow!
The other reason is that Sun Yet
Sen has many followers in Canton
who are still loyal to him, though the
enemy is "within the gates." .and
they are watching every movement of
his foes.
I might give as a third reason that
each side is afraid of injuring the
"Shameen" or foreigner-5' quarter.
which imded to the French and
English and is directly between Sun
Yat Sen and the Chinese city.
Coming to South China this summer
One to
actually experience the thrill of a
typhoon. the other to have an inter-
view with Sun Yat Sen. I have had
both experiences and toth were al—
most cqually painful. I was in the
typhoon last Wednesday which de-
six-(150d so many thousands of lives at
Swatoxv- after tossing our 21. 000 ton
ship like a cork on the sea. I have
seen the lonelv figure of the President
or the South China Republic on his
gunboat capital at Canton. and I felt
that I was looking on another possible
catastrophic calamity that might rob
China of more lives than the typhoon.
Sun Ya: Sen Too III
To Be Seen, Said Friends
When I first broached the question
of an interview with Sun Yat Son I
was laughed out of court. It was ut-
terly impossible. Sun Yat Sen saw
iobody but his own immediate ad-
visers and bodyguard, as he could
trust no one. He had too many daily
worries to keep the enemy from set!-
ing‘or killing him to‘give time to a
mere reporter. He wasp sick man.
He was a dying man. One German

That meant, in involved pidgin Eng-
lish. that Croft was out, that he might
come in an hour. that. he might not
be back before lunch. . Sorrow sat
heavy upon me. Was I to be thxxarte d
by the itinerant wanderings of an
aviator? I had only the day. My
boat sailed at 10 oclbcit to-morrow
morning from Hongkong. I rose heav-
ily. If I failed in this it would be
the first self-imposed assignment I
had fallen down on. I xxent toward
the steps uncertainty. In the oiling
I saw two men approaching-one of
them, by his carefree steps, though
I could not see his “wings," undoubt-
edly an aviator. Mv star was rising.
I approached the pair and said. as
nonclaalantly as possible. though my
pulse was pounding: “Do either one
of you happen to be “1'. Croft?" The
one I_ had spotted responded. as I had
hoped: ”Yes, my name's Croft. What
can I do for you?"
I outlined my desire. but I saw he
was frowning: “Nothing doing. Doc-
tor, " he said in good 0 d Unit or! States.
“I cannot trade upon my friendship
with Sun Ya t Sen to introduce re~
porters to him. as those are the people
he distinctly does not want to see."
I, was just preparing to unmask my
batteries 0! "the patter of the pr css."
&c.. when Croft 5 friend, who had been
introduced as air. 9::th C. Bvrd,
spoke up and s:1id:B‘But see here.
