Pekin, June 2. = The provinces

claimed their independence and
threaten to send a joint expedition to
Pekin to force the dissolution of

Chang, the Vice-president. is unde-
fined but it is believed that both
are inclined to support the militar-
lists. The president has issued a
lengthy statement defending dismis-
sal of the premier, at the same time
highly praising him and expressing
the hope that he may serve the coun-
try in the future. The statement
ends:
IF those responsible for the pres
ent crisis intend to provoke internal
war | will under no consideration
watch the country sink into perdi-
ton. l am not afraid to die for
the country"
The general tone of the statement
is apologetic and lacking in strength
Owing to the refusal of Liching Hsi
to accept thepremiership the presi-
dents position is precarious.

New Church Building
Committee Periodically
Decides on POstpOnement

At a meeting last night the com
mittee in charge of the erection of
the new Methodist church for the
Hill district, decided to postpone
building operations for the present
time.
AL X. Thomas, chairman of the
committee, said this afternoon that
the organization would still be con-
tinued, although the building would
not be erected until conditions are
more favorable. Owing to the Lib

and the Y. M. c. A. campaign the

Attorney General Explains
Workings of Selective
Draft
ALL MUST DO DUTY
Cowards Will Be Taken
From Jails to Serve
in Ranks
By associated Press

Washington, June I'm an Off
cial announcement to-day Attorney
General Gregory renewed attention
TO the provision of the army draft
law which provides that no man can
choose Imprisonment as a substitute
for the crime committed but are
first and be compelled to do the lat
ter If he resists.
1T has come to the notice of the
department" said the Attorney Gen
eral, that certain disloyal citizens
who are themselves beyond the con-
scription age, are suggesting to the
young men of the country that it is
better to suffer Imprisonment under
the terms of the conscription act
than to register with the likelihood
of being enlisted and compelled to
serve at the front.
Attention is called to the fact that
under Section of this act parties
convicted on the charge of evading
registration are not only punished
for the crime committed but are
thereupon duly registered with all
the liability for military service re-
sulting therefrom."
