CHINA'S NEW PREMIER
 KNOWN TO PEOPLE

Picking, May 29.-(Corrspondence of the Associated Press.)-China' new premier, General Yuan Chi-Jui, is no stranger to public affairs in his country. Past 60 years of age, he has been identified prominently with the army for more than half his life and is representative of much that is best in the new China movement, at the same time being considered acceptable to the great mass of his compatriots who cherish China's old ideals.
 The general and President Yuan Shi- kai have been life long friends. although their long association in official life did not deter Yuan Chi-Juia from resigning from the ministry of war in his execu- tives cabinet when it became apparent that the government was favoring the restoration of the monarchq.
 Tuan Chi-Jui is reformer without be- ing an absolute iconoclast. He would not destroy that which is dear to old China. according to his confidents, but rather would have it conform to new conditions.
 The premier's home is modern Euro pean house. situated in walled com pound in the northeastern section of Peking. A great garden which in April is bright with cherry blossoms and Towering shrubs surrounds the residence. At one end of the brick structure is semi-circu- lar sun parlor, unostentationsy furnished in European style.
