CHINA UNDECIDED

NATTER OF WAR
President Gets Conflicting
Expressions of Opinion
From His Advisers,

Picking. Monday, June 11.-Conflict-
ing opinions as to President Ii Yuan
Hungs proper course in the present
political crisis were given today by
DR.. George Morrison, British sub
ject, and general adviser to the presi-
dent, and by Prof. Nagao, Ariga,
Japanese adviser to the president, who
were called on by the executive for
advice. President Ii Yuan Hung has
taken no definite action in response
to General Chang Hsun, who recently
arrived at Tien Tsin with body of
troops and demanded that the presi-
dent dissolve parliament.
DR.. Morrison said:
II urge retention OF parliament.
Even if the president, by legal quib-
BILE. could justify dismissal of parlia-
ment the world would never believe it
had been done from a legal motive,
but rather through fear Of Chang
Hsun. The world would laugh at re-
'publicanism upheld by Chang Hsun.
You must retain parliament"
Professor Arigar said: parliament
is illegally constituted. You called it
into being. You have the right to dis
miss it legally"
The president is endeavoring to pro-
cure the counter signature of Ii Chang
Hsi to the mandate for the dissolution
of parliament which he has drawn up.
Whether Ii Chang Hsi will agree is
doubtful. The situation Is at a dead
lock. Ii Chang Hsi was nominated
as premier last month but refused to
accept. DR.. WI Ting Fang, acting
premier has declined to countersign
the president decree. The Kuo Min
Tang Democratic Parity, which
heretofore has been supporting the
president, is now deserving him owing
to his failure to take strong action.

BUY A BOND TODAY

Government officials and patriotic
bankers in charge of the work Of
placing the Liberty loan bonds are
disappointed because the people are
not subscribing the bonds as rapidly
as desired 1t was hoped that the
people would show their adherence
for the atrocities of Prussian auto.
crazy by subscribing the loan several
times over but with only three days
intervening before the time for the
closing of the lists the issue has not
been taken.
Every effort will be made to have
every family in Jefferson buy at least
one bond, to the end that this coun-
try will do it's part for democracy
in the war on militarisn.
These bonds are the best securities
in the, world, but the most important
reason why every one should buy as
many as he is able is because failure
of Americans to subscribe the issue
will be interpreted in Germany as in
dication that the nation is not de-
termined. The kaiser will gain hope,
and the war be prolonged.
Buy Liberty bond-buy it today!

King Constantine of Greece has alb
Dictated his throne in favor of his Sec
ond son, Prince Alexander, and with
Crown Prince George is to leave the
country.
The abdication was made on de-
mand of the entente powers and this
ends the situation which long has ex-
listed in Greece because of the refusal
of Constantine and his followers to ac-
quiesce in the demands of the entente
allies for freedom of movement of
their forces in and thru Greece, and
Tor their safety from attacks.
That the entente was prepared to
move with expedition in bringing the
change. is indicated by the fact that
simultaneously with the arrival in
Greece of French Minister Jonnard,
who bore plenary powers to act for
the entente, came the occupation by
the Italians in northwestern Greece,
near the Albanian frontier, of the
strategic town Of Janina, and by other
entente forces of Ellasona, in north
eastern Greece, at the foot Of Mount
Olympus and near the Gulf of Salo-
niki.

Hellenes, has come
In response to the demands of the
protective powers, France Great
Britain and Russia, he abdicated to-
day in favor Of his second son.
This climax to the affairs of Greece
was brought about through the agency
of the French minister, M. Jonnard,
who has held posts in French cabi-
nets and who reached Athens only a
day or two ago on special mission
as representative of the three powers.
M Ponnard had previously visited
Saloniki and other ports, and lost no
time in getting into conference with
the Greek premier, Alexander Stur-
mis-.
The demands of the powers respect
ing the abdication also specifically
eliminated Crown Prince George as
his successor, he being included
among those Greeks in official life
who were considered strongly pro-
German. ~
Both the king and the prince intend
to leave the country Immediately. 1t

1t is presumed that King Alexander
will take up his duties with full ac-

during the present war. He is "a

Affairs in Greece, which several
times since the outbreak Of the war
had seemed on the verge of settle

aspect Of uncertainty that it became
necessary for the powers to act with
decision. Mr.. Jonnard was selected
to proceed to Athens for the purpose
of laying before the premier the aims

unity of feeling among the Greeks and
greater security for the entente forces
