CHINA FEELS UNEASY
Because Of Yuan's Apparent Assunnp
ton of Presidential Authority.

Marking China, Feb. 21.-Yuan Shi
Kai's apparent assumption of Presi-
Dental authority prior to his official
acceptance of the post and before he
has taken the oath to abide by the
lRepublican constitution. is causing in
creasing uneasiness among the me-
jority of the Republican leaders as
we'll as among the representatives in
the assembly sitting here and the Of
fieials. 1t has also occasioned a feel
ing of insecurity throughout the
southern provinces. DIR. sun Vat Sen
has received no fewer than $50 tele-
grams protesting against the appoint
ment of Yuan Shi Kai but he express
es confidence in the eventual accept
ance of the entire Republican idea by
Yuan Shi Kai and his assimilation
in the reform movement provided that
Yuan Shi Kai does not attempt to
flout southern attempt; does not ig-
more the Marking assembly and does
not attempt to appoint an Independent
government.
Should Yuan Shi Kai pursue a con-
trary course, division between the
north and the south would undoubt-
edly be brought about and unprece-
dented chaos would be produced.
The acknowledgment by Yuan Shi
Kai of the Marking assembly and the
taking by him of the oath to observe
| the Republican constitution will be
insisted upon by the Republican lead
ers. In the meantime DR.. sun Vat
Sen, the Republican cabinet ministers
and the assembly in Nanking, are
proceeding with the regular routine OF
lgovernment business.
