Special Committee


 London, Feb. P1-In view of the importance Of the Chinese situ- ation. a special cabinet committee has been formed to deal with its various aspects. It Is understood this committee will include Premier Stanley Baldwin, Sir Austen Cham berlain. foreign secretary. and the Earl of Balfour, lord president of the council.
 With the negotiations at Hankow virtually at standstill through the insistence of Eugene Chen. the Can toness foreign minister. that there shall be no concentration of British forces at Shanghai, no new develop ments have been reported. All is now calm in the concession city, where serious anti-British rioting in December led the British authori- ties to take precautionary measures.
 For the moment eyes are turned 10 the cabinet meeting which has been called to determine upon plan to meet Chen's attitude. One suggestion standing out among the others is that an attempt be made to placats tho Cantonese leader by promising that there will be no ex- tensive landing of troops at Shan Ehd unless menacing developments make 1t necessary. At any rate, the general public appears to be look ing with favor on the advisab bility of maintaining the defense force" at some nearby place, like Hong Kong, 50 that it could be despatch ed to the scene without delay if the occasion warranted
 This defense force is being stead fly augmented as transports and ~arships arrive in Chinese waters. A cruiser squadron and battalion of Durham infantry arrived at Singapore yesterday the troops pro- ceeding to Shanghai. Another regi- ment Suffolk infantry which left Gibraltar December 2, before plans for the Shanghai defense force were arranged. is expected to reach Hong Kong in day or so.

 Shanghai. Feb. TP)-Wound- cd members of Marshal Sun Chuan- Fang's army which is the sole bar rier between the Cantonese nation- alists and Shanghai began arriving today at Hangchow, south of this city. Hangchow is 100 miles south Of Shanghai.
 The situation at Hangchow was extremely serious. Marshal Sun had retreated s miles and was prepared to make stand at Tanglu, 30 miles south of Hang- chow.
 The first wounded men to arrive were in party of 50. They had participated in what apparently was minor engagement between the Cantonese and Marshal Suns outposts. It was believed that the morale of Suns army had broken down. Authoritative reports re- ceived here said the Cantonese were being reinforced by 30,O00 Fukien soldiers. Foreingers at Shanghai were alarmed today. fearing that the Cantonese, If their earlier sue cesses were continued, might reach this rich treaty port within ' a week. The foreign colony was hoping that United States and | British naval and military units . would arrive in time to stem the . possible advance Of the Cantonese.
