PEKING, June 12 Conflicting
opinions as to President Li Yunn
Hung's proper course of action in the
present political crisis wore given
today by Dr. George Morison, a Brit
ish subject and general adviser to the
president and by Professor Xagao
Arlga, Japanese adviser to the presi
dent, who were called on by the ex
ecutive for advice. President Li Yuan
Hung has taken no definite action
in response to General Chang Hsun
who recetly arrived at Tien Tsin with
a body of troops and demanded that
the president dissolve parliament.
Tho president is endeavoring to
procure the counter signature of Lt
Chlng Hsl to the mandate for tho
dissolution of parliament which he
has drawn up. Whether Li Ching Hsi
wSll agree is doubtful. The situation
is at a deadlock. (Li Chlng Hsl was
nominated as premier last month but
refused to accept. Dr. Wu Ting Fang,
acting premier, has declined to coun
tersign the president's decree.)
Tho Kuo Mln Tang (democratic
party) which heretofore has support
ed the president, is now deserting him
owing to his failure to take strong action.

LONDON, June 12. The holding
up of the socialist labor delegation
to Russia by the seamen's and fire
men's union Is causing a good deal
of ferment and occupies a consider
able space in the papers. There Is
a sharp conflict of opinion and am
say McDonald and Frederick W. Jow
ctt, the heads of the delegation, havo
received strong suport from the Glas
gow trades council.
The trades council has telegraphed
to the premier, the shipping control
ler, (ho foreign minister and the la
bor party, protesting against the hold
up of the delegation . and saying,
among other things: .
"The action of tho seamen's union
may cause labor unrest." Meetings
were held thruout Glasgow last even
ing, at which the atitude of the coun
cil was endorsed.
Several of the morning papers con
firm the report that MacDonald and
Jowett have signed a guarantee that
they would Insist upon restitution to
allied merchant seamen for murder
and destruction committed by Ger
man submarines. The papers say,
however, that the labor delegates op
ponents declare that their action has
come too late. President Wilson
o( the seamen's union is also quoted
as saying:
"The view of the union has been
modified owing to the seamen's dis
trust as to tho fulfillment of the guar
antee. They further demand an apol
ogy for Insults offered at the league's
conference, where they were refused
a hearing and denunciations of the
submarines were scoffed at'.' lt

firmed that MacDonald and Jowett
have gone to another port. The union
has ordered a astrict watch on all
harbors, Another rumor is that the
delegates will cross the North sea in
an airplane.

ment of 500,000 men for overseas

to Canada, lie declared. Lately the
number of men volunteering had fall
en off, while the demand for men had
increased, Sir Robert explained.
To date Canada had suffered casu
alties to the number of 99,000. There

to supply reinforcements for some
time to come, but for military reasons

During the next seven months, to
keep four Canadian army divisions in
the field, the enlistment of 70,000
men was needed nnd to keep five di
visions in tho field 84,000 men were
needed. There was a greater nuniber
of suitable men In Canada, lt had

brought to arms by compulsion. All
Canadians, under a law which had
been on the statute books for 49
years, were liaMe for the defense of
tho country and liable to be sent
