MILITARY MOVEMENT IN
 CHINA GKOWs MORE TENSE


 Feking. April 24.-(By The A.. P.l- Pelling is now isolated from the south so far as trains are concernej. The Pe- king-Hankow railroad has interrupted its services, on account of the troop movements of General Wu-Pei-Fu, the Chinese military leader, and the PeA.ng- Shanghai line previously had been cut out by the forces of General Chang TSo- Lln, governor of Manchuria.
 Except for the rapid concentration of troops by both generals the military sit nation remains unchanged. The com manders of the American, British, Jap anese and French forces at Ton Tsin have been ordered to cooperate in main taining communication between PeAing and the sea under the provisions of. in ternational agreement.
 A survey made by the military at- taches shows that General Chang Tso- Lin has 95,000 troops, distributed as fol- lows Seventy thousand in the Province of Chih-Li north of Ten Tsin, Is 900 about 20 miles south of Ten Tstn and 10000 about 12 miles southwest of Picking.
 General Wu-Pie-Fu is continuing his advance northward. His soldiers are distributed as follows: Twenty thousa nd | at Paotingfu, capital of the Province of Chih-Li; 40,000 in the province of Ho- nan, while 15,000 under General Feng Uhshiang. known as the Christian Gen l erar are marching to reinforce him from i the Province of Shensi.
 | Opinion prevails here that General Chang Tso-Lin is desrous of delaying an actual clash because he has ample funds available at Mukdou, while Wu- ! Pef-Fu is understood to be lacking in 5es Ina i try to pay heavy expenses, and is there | fore reported to ne anxious to settle the affair quickly. The Chinese people 'ap- 1 pear apathetic over the threatened con ! fiict, but President H. Su. Shih-Chang l and his cabinet do not conceal their anx- iety.
