Manchuria
Held Ready
Chang Tso-Lin's Main Force
of 100000 Men Waiting
to Begin Attack on
Chihli.
Kiangsu Still Confident

Shanghai, Sept. 13.-Chang Tso.
Lin's forces, comprising three divi.
sions about 1880 mem and 20 mixed
yrigades about 1O7, 600 mem, are be-
ing held in readiness to move against
Chilli, according to a seemingly re.
liable report from Mukden, Manchur.
Ia. received early today.
The Manchurian forces were said
to be under the command of General
Ii Ching-Linp, with Chang Tso-Lin's s
own son. General Chang Hsueh Liang
as second in command.
The report did not give a reason for
the inaction of the Manchurian troops
but it was supposed here, on the basis
of reports received yesterday. that
transportation arrangements had not
been completed.
The arsenal at Mukden. the report
said, is working overtime with con-
scripted labor to turn out munitions
for the Manchurian war-lord's propos-
ed assault on Pekin and the allies of
WI Pei-Fu. military dictator in the
Chinese capital.
Official communiques of the Kiang
su forces attacking Shanghai, receiY-
ed this morning from their headquar-
ters at hanging, the Kiangsu capital,
were eloquently lacking in the pre-
vious expressed optimism Of speedy
victory, although still indicating con-
fidence in the ultimate success OF the
attacking armies.
Other reports from Kiangsu
sources in Suchow. in the northern
part of the provice. told Of continued
advances of the Chekiang troops fight
ing northward through the hills wesh
Of Tai lake. and stated that there hid
been heavy diversions of Kiangsu
troops in the direction of Thing, in
that district.
previous report from Chekiang
headquarters near here told of the
capture of the town Of Thing. which
is about 100 miles west of Shanghai,
and the surrender near there of two
battalions of Kiangsu troops.
Shanghai was quiet this morning
bad weather having brought a lull to
fighting in the immediate vicinity OF
the city.
