Bolshevists Goad Chinese to Excesses,
Says Chang.

PEKING, China, March % N.--
Anti-foreign violence at Shanghai
similar to the recent outbreak at Nam

Tso Lin, Northern war lord.
Bolshevists are goading the Chinese
to excesses against the foreigners, he
declared today in an interview with
the foreign correspondents.
He had emphasized to the foreign
diplomats the danger of mob move
ments and of yielding to violence, he
said. They had not needed his warn
ings and had yielded gradually to the
Cantonese at Hankow, Kiukiang and
elsewhere. Now that the Marking
Incident had occurred he feared 1T
would not be possible to halt the dis
orders until the Bolshevists were -
paid for the time and trouble they
had spent on propaganda.

AS for himself, he would not COM
promise with the Bolshevists, but
would fight them to the end. He re
iterated that he would do his utmost
to protect the lives and property OF
foreigners in the territory under his
control, taking personal responsibility
in this respect.
