NORTH CHINA is QUIET
Military Leaders There Not to
to Interfere in Fighting in

SHANGHAI, Sept. c. (By As.

ed to trench warfare in their getl-
eral engagement which continued
today at the little town of Liuho.
Denial that Chang Tso-Lin, mir
tary governor Of Manchuria had
threatened to mediate by force in
the Chinese civil warfare around
Shanghai, unless the fight there was
stopped, is made by the Chinese
foreign office.
The foreign office admits it has
received communication from Cen
eraI Chang, but asserts that instead
Of being of threatening nature,
its tone was the friendliest. In the
letter Chang was said to have de.
precated the fact that civil war
should be added to the sufferings OF
The Chinese people, already harass-
ed by a series of devastating floods.
Continued fighting around
Shanghai and continued denial of
Northern China military leaders
that they were taking active part
in the hostilities, featured the
third day of civil warfare in
China.
At nightfall, the defending Che
kiang troops apparently had pre-
vented any further advance on
Shanghai by the Kiangsu troops
though the fighters seemed prepar-
ed to continue the battle through
The night.
A representative of WI Pei.
Flu, military dictator at Picking,
asserted that none of Wu's troops
were taking part in the hosti-
ties that would be contrary Il
Wu's role as peace maker.
The Chinese foreign office al
Picking denied reports that Chang
Tso-Lin, Manchurian war lord, had
threatened to interfere unless Tho

ceased.
Foreign observers recently il
Mukden, Manchuria, answered
reports that Chang was preparing
TO march on Peking with statement.
that they had seen no warlike prep
