THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE (.) International ilin Service A QUICK-LUNCHI COUNTER IN PEKING The genial smile of this sidewalk Boniface is a business asset of much account. Note the "steam table" in the foreground and the chef busy over the caldron in the background. Shao-yi, and Wu TIing-fang, sided with the Kuang-tung Party and participated in the government which it set up at Canton. In the spring of 1920 it was evident that there had been a split, however. Sun Yat-sen, T'ang Shao-yi, and Wu Ting-fang severed their connections with the Kuang-tung faction and took with them one of their military leaders, Tang Chi-yao. As already indicated, there had been a split in the Pei Yang Party, be tween the Chihli faction and the Anfu faction. Till.H MlANDARINATE STILL IN CONTROL When the final struggle against Tuan Ch'i-jui came there were not lacking evi dences of a joining of forces among T'ang Chi-yao (of the Kuang-tung fac tion), the leaders of the new generation (Sun Yat-sen, Wu Ting-fang, Tang shao-yi), and the Anfu clique, against which formerly they had been violently opposed. An understanding seems also to have been reached between the main section of the Kuang-tung faction and the Chihli faction. This latter combination was not only the more natural of the two, based as it was upon the common interests of the two factions of the mandarinate for self-preservation, but it was the more powerful, as it drew to its banner all of the neutral elements, such as the Yangtze league of governors and Chang Tso-lin. military governor of Manchuria. Ina few days it had forced Tuan Ch'i-jui to yield his power and give up his soldiers. The Anfu Club was abolished and its members dispersed. The situation has not changed mate rially during the last few months. It has been proved that even in China an el'e ment cannot survive long on alien sup port, as the Anfu clique tried to do. The party in control is still the mandarinate, and there is still an opposition, composed of a new generation of students and young men. 428
