THREE DAY BATTLE
 RAGING IN CHINA
Clever Ruse Supposed To Have Led To Bitter Fighting Between
 Forces

Picking, June 12.-Tien- Tsin, China, -(By Associated Press)-Gen Chang Tso Lin's proposals for an armistice with Wu Pei-Fun appear to have been simp.y ruse to gain time for the defeated Manchurian war lord Heavy fighting broke out Friday be- tween Chingwangtsao and Shanhaik- wan. The battle has been raging steadily for the past three days.
 It is believed that President Lis first effort after he has put his gov ernment into working order will be the elimination of the system of tuch uns or military provincial governors. This system has been credited by many students of Chinese affairs with the generation of many civil conflicts.
 Gen. Ii Yuang- Hung. former presi- dent of China, who was living in re- tirement in Tien-Tsin when Wu Pei Flu sought to induce him to resume the presidency, was born in 1864 in Huoech and was graduated from the Peiyany naval college, Tien-Tsin.
 After the abdication of the Manchu emperor in 1911, Ii was elected vice. president of the new republic. Con- currently he was appointed chief of the general staff and tuchun of Hu- pech. Lii became president of China at the death of Yuan Shih- Kali, in June, 1916. He resigned July 1, 1907, when Gen. Chai Hsun carried out his coup d'etat and restored the Manchu emperor to the throne. The restora- tion was of brief tenure and the re- public was re-established by Marshal Yuan. But Gen. Ii refused to resume the office and retired to Tien-Tsin.
