Gates that Chang had scored com

Advlccs to the foreign office from
Shanghai, however, stated that the

stationed nearby may give battle to
the Chang division. whose advances
have caused Japan to order the
cruiser liirata to thingwangto, on
the Gulf Of Liaotung, for the protec-
tlon of nationals.
Mercy For kuo Asked
No official adviccs were received
confirming the execution of kuo and
his wife. but the foreign Office stat
ed that the Mukdcn consul had been
instructed to ask mercy for kuo, and
hang agreed to send a messenger to
Sinmifu, ordering his life preserved,
but evidently the action was taken
too late
1t is understood that Japan is max
ing further representations for the
mrecy of minor generals of kuo's.
Numerous troops of kuo Sung Ling
are reported to have gone over
thang's forces.
According to the foreign Office,
Chang has not yet entered MukGen,
