Manchurian and Central China
Forces Struggling Few Miles
South Of Capital
WARNED NOT TO ENTER CITY

Pekin. April %. The fighting south
Of the Pekin -Tientsin Railway, which
began at dawn today, was still in prog
ress this afternoon. with the sound Of
the battle distinctly audible here. The
engagement between the forces of Gen.
cral Chang Tso- Lin, military Governor
Of Manchuria, and General WI Fei. Flu,
military leader of Central China, was
reported to extend along line from
Machang. twenty miles south of Ticn.
tin, to point south Of Pekin.
An attempt apparently was being
made by WI Pei Flu to wedge In be-
tween Pekin and Chang Tso Ling
troops. thus turning the lntter's flank.
General Wu's attack, launched a;
Changsintien. twelve miles southwest of
Pekin. seemingly came as surprise
and spread rapidly into the general en-
gagement now reported.
Wounded troops from the front began
arriving In the city this afternoon.
The foreign legations here have ad-
vised the nationals Of their respective
countries, who are now outside Pekin,
to hasten to the capital in self -protec-
ton. .
During the night sounds of inter-
mittent firing came from the front, but
with the dawn a brisk cannonade be.
gan, the city rousing to the mounting
sound. Some Americans ventured out
to the racetrack west Of Pekin. where
they saw Chang TsO. .Lin's troops di.
recting artillery fire from the hills.
Both Chang Tso Lin and WI Pei Flu
have apparently warned their forces to
avoid approaching the city on account
of the warning Of the legations that
they would not tolerate disorder in
Pekin. The Government is prepared
to close the city gates at any moment,
but this has so far not been deemed
necessary.
The members of the Government.
headed by Hsu Shih- Chang, are as one
in lamenting the hostilities. The Presi.
dent declares he will remain neutral
and acting Premier Chou Tzu Chi says
that efforts to prevent civil war are
being continued.
