NOMR, JUNE 10, 1916.
The sudden passing of Yuan Shi Kai j
removes from the stage another of those '
remarkable figures about whom havi j
centered some of the greatest of the
history changing events of the past de
cade. Yuan, although the fact Is little
understood by the majority of Occident-1
ale, was unquestionably one of the I
world’s greatest personages, both In the I
matter of personal qualities and in |
achievements. Throughout the varying
phases of his long and extraordinary
career Y"uan, times without number. :
gave undeniable evidences of the pos |
session of qualities which marked him I
as a superlative character.
During the long years of his service j
as prime minister of the old Chinese j
empire his management of the decidedly (
cumbersome and complicated system of J
government In vogue under the Manchu
rulers displayed the highest qualities of
statesmanship while the later events of
his career stamped him as hot alone a
statesman but also a warrior of more
than ordinary ability, a remarkable or
ganizer and a capable financier
Few men who have lived during the
last half century have given greater
evidences of the possession of such
varied distinguishing powers as wen
shown by this remarkable celestial.
Only In the dosing months of his life
did he uppear to lapse In the display
of those qualities of greatness which
contributed to h!s earlier renown. In
attempting to confer upon himself im
perial dignitaries he seemed to have over
stepped the limits of discretion to a de
gree that not only brought him Into
ridicule but also served to cheapen hlB
whole career and tarnish the well mer
ited honors won by earlier efforts.
In the absence of accurate knowledge
concerning the underlying reasons for
this remarkable action one can hardly
presume to estimate whether it wus a
course of conduct Justified by the condi
tions. as Yuan contended, or merely the
promptings of an overweening ambition
which caused the temporay subversion
of an ordinarily astute mind.
Whatever the reason, it resulted In
the almost complete undoing of all his
wonderful achievement In constructing
a modern republic from the war torn
fragments of the benighted China of
past centuries. That he was able to
weld together the disunited fragments
of the old empire Into a political struc
ture baaed upon modern Ideas of gov
• rnment' radically opposed to the cen
tury old instiutlons to which the Chin
i*se were accustomed alone stamps him
as worthy of the title of “great."
Had he not attempted the seemingly
foolish effort to restore the older order
of things, after himself teaching the
new to the myriad masses of the nation,
it Is probable that a united Chinese re
public would be standing today as a
living testimonial to his superlative
abilities as a constructive statesman.
Instead of dying in the midst of strife
and national dissolution he would prob
bly have passed to that distant bourne
honored by a mighty people on whom
ho had been the chief Instrument (n con
ferring the blessings and advantages of
freedom.
EXPERT FORESEES
SLAUGHTER IN
WAR TIME
Mwi who have been In closest touch
with every move of the world to date
tire beginning to farcast that the next
live months will bring an unparalleled
burst of battle, attended by the worst
bloodshed in the world's history.
An Immense waste of humau life and
materials before Verdun, greater than
that which shocked the world at Liege
and Namur, has demonstrated, the ex
perts say, that if tIUs war goes on to
the bitrer end, no phase of history,
ancient, medieval or modem, will com
pare with the slaughter. One military
critic said today:
"The almost Impregnable character of
the defences on the western front, which
have been building for eighteen months,
make It suicide for the first line of an>
nssultlng body of troops. When a com
mander orders a battalion to the as
sault and posts the reserves In the rear
ready to follow, he knows that the posi
tion attacked will be captured by the.
resrves, If captured at all.
"He cannot help but know In advance
that the first line will melt away before
the fire of the opposing side. Before
the reserves reach their objective over
the bodies of their comrades they too,
may have been decimated by the ma
chine gun, rifle and cannon fire which
protects the trenches on every mile of
he front that runs from the North sea
to Switzerland.
cj one can oiumc the commanders
.or me course iney arc bound LL, t a a e

willing to matte me sacrluce. 'inose tn
...e iront ranKs snow tnat tnetr cnance
,s stun, 'me best tney cun asa tor is a
wound trom wmch they will ultimately
• ccover. Months of monotonous trench
warfare are responsible for this. The
men are willing and ready for anything
mat means a diversion from the stale
mace of the past year and a half.
"What will happen on the western
iront will be repeated on the eastern,
where both the Russians and Germans
nave been working for months entrench
mg, fortifying, constructing wire en
tanglements and placing heavy ordn
ance pieces sufficient to sweep the
.round for miles around."
At Salonlca, where the allies hurriedly
dug themselves in and have gradually
fortified their holdings to almost im
pregnability. the cost of taking the
Greek port for the Central Powers would
far exceed Its military worth.
Throughout all the theaters, the com
ing summer will see the greatest activity
of the war, attended by the slaughter
which conditions mnke Inevitable, the
military experts are saying.
Nor will the slaughter be limited to
soldiers, some forecasts declare. It Is
believed in some circles that Zeppelins
will take heavy toll of civilian popula
tion in many quarters. ’ Reports from
Krederlchshafen, on Ixakc Constance,
say that the Zeppelin factory there is
turning out twelve or sixteen Zeppelins
a month. Hie German Parseval and
Shultz-Lnnge factories, located else
where also are reported active to an
extent of ten times tber normal output
This great monthly addition to the
German aerial fleet, the experts are
Inclined to think, must forecast hither
to unexampled air raiding everywhere.
The question of the air defence of Lon
don is being debated In parliament and
J with the appointment of Lord Derby
j us ulr minister, the public Is beginning
j to have confidence In the ability of the
1 aerial defenders to deal with the Zep
pelin menace. Steps tn the right direc
tion have been taken In many places.
The renewed activity of the th-rniun
submarine. It is admitted here, means
a toll of non-combatants probably ex
ceeding previous losses, but there is
genuine conQdence that the navy will
.ueet the' problem too.
The greatest man killing, will be con
fined to the various armies In the field —
