REPLY DEMANDED
TO NANKING Note
Powers Will Allow Cantonese
Short Time for Answer

London. April II LP' - British
interest in the far eastern situation
was divided today between the reac-
test against the Marking outrag es.
presented to the Cantonese author
tiles yesterday and the sudden &C
tivity o. the northerners in check
ing the advance OF the Cantonese
armies to the north OF the Yangtse
river.
In official British quarters the
predominating opinion was that
while the power. specified no time
limit FOR reply to their demands,
they will brook no extended delay.
1t was felt that the powers would
not agree to any further indepen-
dent investigation. which 1t is I'M
lerstood Eugene Chen. the Canton
csc foreign minister, intends to
suggest.
Shanghai reported that the com
munication created no unusual stir
there, inasmuch as It had been
generally anticipated.
The military status was not def
nitely known, but. as far as could
he learned, the Cantonese have
! been halted, at least temporarily.
and even forced to retire in some
places, by the reiuvenated army of
the northern general. Sun Chuan-
Fang, One report from Marking
was that Manchuriau soldiers were
proceeding down the Tientsin- Pu-
| kow railway as General SUMS SOL
diers were advancing IN strength
southwark along the Grand canal.
In connection with the strained
| relations between soviet Russia and
northern China, growing out OF last
weeks raid by northern troops on
buildings attached to the soviet en-
bassy In Picking. the Daily Mail has
! received word by way OF Tokyo that
/ there IL a large concentration OF
Russian and Chinese troops OF the
Siberian border In preparation for
possible hostilities. Japanese cor
respondents at Hardin are given as
authority for the report that the
Russians have four divisions and the
Chinese one division and a half on
the border.
The Daily Mall also printed a re-
port that the Russians arrested in
the raid on the soviet embassy COM
pound had been released, but this
has not been confirmed officially.
Neither is there any indication
whether the release was a conse-
quence OF the soviet governments
protest against the raid.
Virtually nothing is known OF the
situation In Picking. 1t is stated.
however. that the Russian embassy
staff will leave for home April Is,
and pending satisfactory redress for
the raid, only the consulate person
rel will be permitted to remain IN
Picking.
Eugene Chen, In behalf o. the
Cantonese government, sent mes
sage to Moscow expressing regret
for the raid by the northern troops
and promising strong action against
the "violators OF the soviet's SOW
ereignty and dignity" SO far as Is
known here, he did not specify
what steps he propose, to take Il
enforce this threat.
