CH|NA'S WAR HOSTS
NFOR BATTLE
Contending Armies Mass at
Strategic Points-Fall OF
Chang Tso-Lin Reported.
BY the A ssociated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PEKING, November 2s.-Gen. Kuo
Sung Lien. former supporter of Mar
shall Chang Tso-Lin. the Msnchurian n
War lord. has established head
quarters at ChinwanEtao on the
Chihli coast, while his forces have
occupied Shanhaikwan, short dis
lance to the northeast on the Peking-
Mukden railway. Chang's followers
are concentrating upon Chinchowfu.
100 miles to the northeast. on the
railway, and a battle Is expected near
Shanhaikwan.
Provincial War Lord Displaced.
The fall of Chang Tso-Lip. Man.
churian dictator for many YEARS and
heretofore regarded as the most
strongly placed of the three great
provincial war lords, was indicated
In meagre advices received here yes
terday from Minister MacMurray at
cluded in the dispatch.
The revolt at Mukden. followed by
the breaking away OF the provincial
chief previously allied with Chang In
Tientsin and elsewhere. has left offi.
cials here and. apparently, in Peking
completely mystif1ed az to what new
turn to expect in the political military
struggle OF the trio OF war lords.
Press cablegra ms from Peking add
ed to the puzzle, saying that Feng Yu-
slang. the Christian general" and a
doubtful adherent OF Chang. had join
ed the anti-Chanf movement and
warned the Manchurian leader that he
must retire from public life or meet an
attack from his troops.
Explanation Of Revolt.
The most rroba bic expla ma ton OF
the revolt in Chans's ranks. Al seen
by Informed officials here. is that he Is
regarded as an outlander by the Chi
nsse whenever he pr esses TO the south
OF the great Chinese wall. which was
built long ago to prevent Manchuria n
incursions. The conquest of Man
churia by leader from China would
be much easier thing TO visualize.
in the Chinese popular view. than that
Manchurian should exercise power
south of the wall.
The question of immediate interest
TO officials here is the probable att
tude Feng will take II. as indicated,
he assumes military dicta torship in
Peking and becomes virtually the
political head of the provisional CEN
tral government. which called to-
sether the customs conference now
in session there. Feng il credited
with Soviet Russian connections and
tendencies. but 1t remains to be seen
whether he would repudiate all un-
equal treaties 10 which China In
party. including the customs con-
ventioons and the extraterritoris
grants.
Believe Feng VIII Be Cautious.
Some observers are inclined to be.
heye that Feng would not risk inter
ference with the customs conference
since denunciation OF the special
rights treaties would carry with it
abolition Of the foreign n-controlled
customs commission.
DenUnciation of the trea ties might
be popular move with the student
groups which led the recent anti
foreign demonstrations after the
Shanghai troubles, but FenE would
benent little by asserting tariff
autonomy Immediately ana promul-
eating high duty schedules unless
he was sure the central government
would collect those duties for its own
use.

cause of a difference of opinion as to
whether Lopez-Frazier was Arthur

I'm the bureau out here we all be
loved he was Frazier" DR.. Burns said.
I'VE just took it for granted that he

WELL SPOKEN

A worthy bishop in Buffalo was
arrested the other day for driving
his car to the left Of q trolley car.
There being some public expression
of criticism of the officer making the
arrest the bishop took occasion to
commend him through the columns
of the press.
He disclaimed all intention Of vio-
lating the traffic laws but said:
Il wish to put myself on record as
being against special privilege where
law and order are concerned. 1t is
because Of discrimination between
rich and poor, high and lowly, that
the law is brought into disrepute."
The bishop here spoke a truth that
needs to be spoken frequently and
emphatically. Those who seek spe-
cial privileges are not seeking the
welfare of their fellowmen. And all
)should be acquainted with the traffic
laws. which should be uniform.
