Chinese Districts Off
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-War be-
tween the factions in China, which 1t
had been reported was again imminent
as the result OF the failure OF the
Shantuag conference between the
leaders of the north and the south has
been averted according to reports re-
ceived at the Chinese legation here.

composition of the northern delega-
ton to meet objections made by the
Southerners it is expected that the
conference will soon be held and
meanwhile there will be no resump-
ton of hostilities.
