WAR IN CHINA EXPECTED
Reports Indicate Japan and Ruscia
Backing Rival Factions.

Washington, d. C. Information
from authentic sources of the swift
approach in China of general warfare,
which promises to dwarf present dis
turbances in Shanghai, Canton and
Changsha, is in the hands of the Wash
ington government.
The purport of this information is
that clash for military mastery of
China is impending. Chang Tso Lin,
Manchurian war lord, with his force OF
100000 men, and Feng Yu Hsing, with
following of 10000, are being watch
ed by observers.
Chang has the sympathy and prob
ably some form of substantial aid from
Japan. Feng, the so-called Christian
general, admittedly is receiving ac-
tive and material assistance from
soviet Russia. Unquestioned sources
have reported continuous supply of
arms to be reaching Feng's troops
from Moscow and Urga.
