pected Following Uprising.
Ii May Resign.

constitutional advisor to the former
Chinese Republic, no wenroute to the
United States thus summed up the
Chinese situation today.

would resign if he thought his resig-
nation would aid the country, but Ii
is confident the masses expect him to
defend China against the military
prule which is certain to be established
later.
Lis resignation it is reported from
Picking would result in a split of the
nation. The people of the north are
offering much opposition to the cen
trail government, while the people OF
the south are fighting to maintain the
central government.
Japan Will Not Interfere.

fere in any way with China's domestic
