KING FERDINAND
READY TO RESIGN

Berlin, Nov. 18.-King Ferdinand Of
Bulgaria, who arrived today in Co
burg. Is passing through such a crisis,
according to well informed circles in
Coburg and Berlin, that his ~abdication
OF the throne in favor of his son is
possible and even probable. s.
The king Is residing incognito at the
palace In Coburg. He spent this morn
ing In prayer at the graves o. his an
cestors.
Austrian statesmen are doing their
utmost to discourage his proposed sur
render OF the throne, because they
consider the young crown prince, Eoris.
likely to be influenced by the element
friendly to Russia.
King Ferdinand, at the same time,
Is receiving little encouragement in
Germany. Emperor William and the
German government have expressed
themselves openly al friendly to
Greece. 1t is understood hat when
King Ferdinand expressed a desire to
come to Berlin, he was given an init
nation that such a visit would be USE
less. - @@ "..
Ferdinand Is the youngest son of the
late Prince Augustus of Saxe-Coburg-
.Gotha and was elected prince of Bull
garia on July z, 1887. He declared him
self king in 1908 and was recognized
by the powers. The Bulgarian legation
here has issued a denial OF the reports
that he intends to quit the throne, but
the denial is regarded here as merely
p~erfunctory, .. I.stat y .Is.t

EMBASSY MAY WITHDRAW
WHEN CONGRESS MEETS

Mexico City, Nov. 1~7.-Senators and
deputies elected recently to form the
new congress in place of that dissolved
by Provisional President Huerta
will meet at 3 o'clock this afternoon in
the respective houses to choose tenn
porary speakers.
Early today President Huerta had
given no indication that he intended to
alter his program to comply with the
demands made by John Lind. personal
representative of President Wilson,
that he prevent the organization Of the
new congress. 1t would be no surprise
in official circles here II the American
embassy were withdrawn. Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, charge ~d'affaires, re-
ceived O communication from the state
department at Washington last night
which 1t Is believed contained In
%structions governing his actions. I'm
less the present plan Is abandoned by
President Huerta within the next few
hours, the men selected TO replace
those senators and deputies now
prisoners in the p~enitentiary will as
semble for a preliminary meeting with
Manuel Cara Aldape, minister Of the
interior, as acting temporary chair
man. Ordinarily. this post would fall

JAPANESE WAR SCARE
idle, SAYS MR.. TAFT
Former President Asserts That
There viii BE No Fighting
II We Are Fair.

Washington. d. c., Nov. I7.-Assert-
ing that the japanese government had
faithfully lived up to its treaty obliga-
lions by keeping its coolie labor from
American shores former President Taft
In an address before the National
Geographic society here last night, de-
clared that the United States govern
ment must keep faith with Japan by
refusing to discriminate against its
people.
Before a distinguished gathering of
scientists and government officials the
former president secuted the probable
ity Of war between Japan and the
United States, saying 1t was the last
thing the statesmen Of Japan desired.
"'The, only danger Of a war;" said he,
"lies in our Injustice to the Japanese.
They are ighting b battle for trade
and not for conquest or further
this direction. All we have to do to
avoid other than business rivalry Is to
theat them as we would wish to be
treated" -
Critics who have spoken OF the
probability of an armed conflict be-
tween the two countries and of the
landing of q great Japanese force OF
the California coast, the speaker de-
clared, proceeded on an assumption
that never would be realized in. fact.
THE transportation Of any army g.
900 miles acros the trackless waste to
the Pacific with all the chances OF
attack upon the t~roopships hat would
have to carry Them" he said, els an idle
