ton. It seems probable that should the military governors persist in their revolutionary course the three loyal South China Provinces named. Kwang -tun9, Kwang-si. and Xun-nan. will rise in support of the president. At present the situation is serious and the president virtually powerless.
 According to official information to- day, President Li-Yuan hung intends today to introduce . bill taking in q declaration of war against Germany if there is a quorum present In par lament. The presence of quorum, however, seems doubtful.
 Attempts are being made to tn- fiuence President A-Yuan-hung to resign rather than to dissolve parlia- ment. the object being to throw the blame for any disturbance upon the militarists., The president has ts- sued a mandate, pleading with Chang Hsun, the commander of the govern ment troops at Ranking and Feng- Kwo-chang, to come to Pekin and ef- feet a compromise. The commander has accepted.
 The militarists, 1t is said. do not in- tend to force . disturbance while they are in control of the railways. Trafiac has been interrupted and the militarists are demanding g new elec- ton immediately for the purpose of obtaining a workable constitution.
 President A-Yuan-hung is power less, as the Pelsin military command CTS refuse to carry out his orders. Tuan-Chi-jni, the former premier. in refusing the demand of the militarists that he accept the ofhce. said that he wAs tired of politics even if a com- promise were possible.
