Prison Term for
Indian Seditionist
A despatch from Ahmeda-

Moslem League, was sen-
tenced to two years imprison-
ment on Thursday on a charge
of sedition, after the judge had
refused to accept the unahi-
mous verdict of not guilty,
rendered by a jury, which in-
cluded five Indians. A second
charge of inciting to war was
referred to a higher court..
The prosecution claimed that

tions of the existing govern-
ment, making warfare inevit-
able.
imperialist, succeeded Dr. Sun in 1912.
In 1913 a second revolution started
in the south and was crashed by Yuan.
Again in 1915 the south revolted and
blocked Yuan's ambition to make him-
self Emperor.
In 1917 Chang Hsun, in the north,
tried to restore the Manchus. His
northern helpers turned traitor on
him. That year saw a fourth revolt,
the southerners withdrawing from
Pekin and 'heaving the north in pos-
session.
In 1919 Dr. Sun's new southern
State at Canton was overthrown by
the militarists. He came back into
power- at Canton in 1920 and resumed
his struggle with the north. Mean-
while, the northern goverment •gain-

one of the rival factions now warring
for control of the country.

military governor." He tame down

suites to cover. Ile has ,been the "Boss
of Pekin."
Another one of these etsuper-
tuchuns," one Wu Pei Fu, holds forth
in the valley of the Yangtze -Kiang,.
Wu is a "reformist" after his own
formula. His forces have attaekedi
those of Chang, and the prize is the
possession of Pekin, nominally held
by a shadowy republic whose Presi-
dent is Hsu-Shih-Chang. Chang an-
nounces he will set up an "anti -Occi-
dental regime."
For severe/. days the fighting has
been on 'between armies of about 50,-
000
0,000 men on either side. Thus far the
results are indecisive. Meanwhile,
Dr. Sun, far down. in Canton, suddenly
announces that he will join with
Chang, and his troops are in motion
to take Wu in the rear; but the mat-
ter may be decided one way or an-
other before the Cantonese and the old

Pekin's gates. Wu, greatest rival of
Dr. Sun, stands in the way of Dr. Sun
and Chang. He holds Central China,
threatens Pekin and is the great
stem lingblock to that unification
dreamed by Dr. Sun.
Dr. Sun has seen his :chance to
break up the solidarity of the north
and with Chang is isolating Wu in the
heart of China and threatening him
rear and front. But if Wu is elk -nine
aced, Chang and Dr, 'Sun will doubt.,
lessefaee each other, late or soon.
This fight is one for 'control. It
a battle between- the "super-tucbuns,'
The armies these rival gentry maind
tain are estimated at 1,600,000 men.N
The present curse of a traditionally
pacifist China is a sordid iulliterisnz.
It is hard to say which of the riv
parties is purest in intent. Evan fo
Chinese who know their way about ire
the mazes of their :political chaos, it
seems a hard choice.
Chintz needs many things, including
a convention of rival factions and
peace between them; provincial sell..
government; political unification and
the ending of the `'super tuchuns, `
This warfare may be the only way to
clear the road. The upshot of iti
however, is more likely to be a furit
