FAMOUS CHINESE IS
ANXIOUS FOR PEACE
DR. SUN YAT SEN WANTS TO SEE
CHINESE FACTIONS GET TO-
GETHER AND WORK
SHANGHAI China Sept 12. (Cor-
respondence of The Associated Press)
Df. Sun Yat-sen the raost radical ot
all the Chinese repubicans has re-
turned to Shanghai from Japan and
is again sitting In the high council
of the more extreme Chinese reform
ers.
Until the death of Yuan Shi-kai Dr.
Sun Yat-sen remained in Toklo as
the head of the young China move-
ment which has been directed from that
a "safe Tlive to Shahrf. aUhougb Are than a single bale for the entire
! . : ..!.. r..hUn ni-nlniHnn h-IiHa I tlUCt.
his old enemy Yuan Shi-kai was in i
power
Dr. Sun's part In the abortive revo
lution of 1913 won him little favor In
China. Chinese of practically all
classes wpre unwilling to countenance
another revolution until Yuan Shi-kai
had been given a longer opportunity
to demonstrate hir- efficiency.
His home in Shanghai is a modest
house on Route Villon in tho Frensh
concession. It stands at the end of a
lone row of connected houses. He
greeted Tho Associated Prens corres
pondent In a sunny library at the
back of the house overlooking a
small walled garden.
Although he is forty-nine years old
Dr. Sun has the appearance of being
very much younger. The only trace
which his long strenuous years of
political agitation in China have left
on him. Is gray hair. His moustache is
also slightly gray. But his .round
smiling face Is without a wrinklo or
line. His eyes are bright and youth-
ful and he speaks with a mildness
and placidncss which gives no sugges-
tion of his turbulent career.
"Yes I am for compromise. I want
to see tho north and south get to-
gether and make ppacc. Both sides
should yield and get on common
ground. I also want lo sco China
get on thoroughly friendly relations
with all her neighbors. 1 am unquali-
fiedly for national and international
compromise at this .time.
"I. want to sco China get Into such
a stable condition that investors "will
be willing to assist herein develop-
ing her great resources. Wo "want
factories and all sorts jof industries.
We want workmen to replaco the sol
dlers.".-. t
Failure to Maintain Greet
Neutrality is Believed to-
Have Been Cause o f
Resignation.
LOXDOX Sept. 12. A Reuter dis-
patch from Athens says that it is con-
firmed there officially that Premier
Zaimis has tendered his resignation
and (that every effort is being mado
to persuade him to withdraw it.
The political situation in tho nearr
oast is of no less interest to the Eu-
ropean capitals at this moment thani
is the military outlook as it i3 hc-
lievetl that important changes arc im-
pending. . The reasons for tho resignation of
Premier Zaimis are not set forth in
file Athens dispatches. It is boltevedV
that his offer to resign is due to the?
fact that ho accepted the post with.
the naderstandlng that ho was to
maintain Greek neutrality and in view
of the Bulgarian occupation of Greek
territory he finds that this is no long-
er possible.
