Hung on the presidential chair in
succession to the resigned Hsu
Shih Chang, can move with suffi-
cient rapidity to fOrestall efforts
being made by DIR. Sun Vat Sen,
chief of the Canton, or southern
government, to focus, in himself
and his adherents the government
of China, was the question which
was absorbing observers of polltl-
cal affairs here today.
Sun has refused persistently to
resign, despite the appeals of vari-
Gus leaders that he do so, and that
the intimation in Hsu's letter OF
resignation, that both he and Dr..
Sun should eliminate themselves.
Instead, he is attracting to himself
daily more members of the old
parliament in which the north
China faction comedies the national
governmental power resides.
WI Offers to Quit.
WI Pei Flu, chief of China's mil
itary men, yesterday played what
may prove to be his strongest card
in the diplomatic game revolving
around China's unity when he Of
fered Ii Yuan Hung his reslgna-
ton, effective when the recipient
pleased, on condition that Ii as
sumo the presidency Immediately
Tsao Kun, Wu's principal lieuten-
ant, followed the example of his
chief. At the same time, there was
no indication that WI had with
drawn from his former declaration
that if DR.. Sun did not resign, WI
would force him to do SO.

churian war lord, with ambitions t
make himself head of a govern

of constitutional government; an
all Lii wants is opportunity TO liy
out his few remaining years il

that men know so much more

that it takes a thief to catch a
