SUN YAT SEN AND THE CHINESE REPUBLIC by PAUL LINEBARGER. FOREWORD: During the years 1901 to 1907, while the author was a circuit judge in the Philippines, he had in his service a very excellent Cantonese cook named Ah Po, whose attendance, during the sea voy ages from court to court, was indeed appreciated, especially during the trying period of cholera epidemics, when the preparation of the food was a vital matter.
