SHANGHAI, September IL. - A
manifesto signed by 4S6 members of
parliament repudiates the effort be-
ing made in Peking to assemble a
quorum of parliament to elect a
president to succeed Ii Yuan-Hung.
The manifests are loyal to Lii Yuan
Hung.
Ii, twice president of China and
only recently self-deposed from that
Office in the face of a coup d'etat by
the militarists, looms once more as
Il dominating figure in Chinese poll
tics. He is in Shanghai. accom-
panied by twenty-five former minis
tcr& and secretaries.
Insisting that he still is the legal
president of the republic, Ii says
he plans to effect unification of the
country, by peaceful means and to
make Shanghai the seat of govern
ment.
The venerable statesman ridicul-
ed the Peking parliamentary cleo
ton of Wednesday, which, accord
ing to reports from the capital, re-
suited only in revealing the lack
of a quorum. The session, called
to choose a president to succeed Ii
Yuan Hung broke up in disorder.
The ousted chief executive called
the Peking session illegal and far
cical.''
In a statement TO the Associated
Press, LII Yuan Hung said his pur-
his home in Tientsin was to organize
a government composed Of all fac
tions.
He has conferred with Tang
shao-yi and other adherents of Sun
Yat-Sen, the southern leader.

Premier Poincare, at the celebration
today of HattonchatePs reconstrIc-
tion with American money, sketcbed
the memorable work of the American
Army in clearing the St. Mihiel sali-
ent, in which this town lay when the
American attack was launched in

comprising the village have been re-
built, and the church and abbey re-
stored with funds supplied by Miss
Belle Skinner of Holyoke, Mass,

Speaking at the luncheon. which
was one OF the features of the cpIe-
bration, Premier Poincare described
how the Germans had occupied the
heights of the Meuse during the last
phase of the battle of the Marine. when
those heights had been almost denud-
ed of French forces. For four years,
he recalled, no news had come to the
HattonchateI, well within the STeuse

hiel could still be seen from the
French line, but nothing behind it,
Remains as "PoIsoned Thorn,
Until September. 1918, the st. Mi
hiel salient remained IN the flesh of
our unfortunate country like a pois-
oned thorn" continued the premier.
THE high command of ten hoped to
be able TO extract the poison, but the
necessary forces were lacking 1t
was only during the last two weeks
of the war that the operation at st.
Mihiel, often studied but always post
poned, could be resumed and bril-
liantly executed by the American
Army"
After explaining what q great i'm
rediment to the operations of the
allies the German occupation of st.
Mihiel had been, the premier said
Marshal Foch, during 1918, wishing
to associate the young and ardent
Army of Gen. Pershing with the pre-
liminary operations of the great of
fensives which were a little later to
free the country, assigned to thirteen
Anne rican divisions, four French divi-
sions and the I'd Colonial Corps the
mission of driving the enemy from st.
Mihiel and reoccupying the heights
of the Meuse."
Premier Poincare described how the
mission had been carried out and the
enemy driven off, leaving 1000 pris-
oners, 466 guns and 752 machine guns.
