President Coolidge called Chairman

committee to the White House iale
yesterday for conference understood
TO have dealt with China, although
nothing was 6ivulged as to its nature.
President Coolidge is still awaiting
some intimation from China that an
agreement can be reached between
the warning Chinese factions under
which negotiations of new treaties
with China can be taken up.
While no move toward direct con-
versations with the two major fac-
lions had been made, 1t was intimated
at the White House yesterday that IN
the event of negotiations the Wash
ington Government probably would be
reticent on the subject until It had
some accomplished fact with which to
deal with. The President feels that
it is proper that general pohcles
should be announced, but that nego-
tiations with other governments must
be conducted in an orderly and more
or less confidential way until con-
clusion can be reached.

widow of the former provisional
president of China, has taken up the
banner dropped by her husband at
his death and personally is leading the
Cantonese, or southern forces, in their
northward march to re-establish the
principles of reform he advocated
This was the word brought here by
Bishop w. n. Ainsworth Of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church South on his
return from a several-month tour of
China.
He described Mrs. Sun Vat Sen, a
graduate of Wesleyan College here, as
one of the most powerful factors in
the revolt now taking place In China,
adding:
Her position is almost that of a
queen among the Cantonese. She is
on the executive staff of the Can
tonese army and maintains her head
quarters at the front as the troops ad-
vance. 1t is under her direction large
ly that the Cantonese forces are car
rying out the reform movement of her
dead husband with seemingly religious
fervor."

SHANGHAI, February British
authorities preparing accommoda-
tions here for expeditionary forces in
the present trouble today encountered
difficulty when they were reminded
that the Shanghai foreign settlement
is international in character and not
purely British.
IT was understood that this devel-
opment led to considering the advisa-
bility of diverting portions or the ex.
peditionary forces to Hongkons an oo
Wehaiwei, British settlement, 400
miles north of here, where they would
be held in readiness.
Barracks for approximately 1000
men had been practically completed
at Jessfleld Park here, when construc-

ped. 1t was then learned that the
camp will not be used for the pur-
nose which the British intended.
.Tessfeld Park is outside the interna-
tional settlement and in Chinese ter
ritory, but is owned by the settlement
municipality.
Source of Opposition.
IT was understood that the change
in British plans was due to Oppose
ton from non-British members OF the
Shanghai Municipal Council, which
suuervises the foreign settlement.
There also was q meeting OF the
Chinese Chamber of Commerce, at
which opposition was voiced to the
use of any Chinese territory for the
evolutionary forces.
The presence of representative
of Marshal Sun Chuan-Fang, north.
ern syrnpathizer, defending Shanghai
against the Cantonese, at the cham

as a sign that this war lord will re-
fuse the aid of British forces, or that

HANKOW, February OR.-While
| the Chinese New Year day today
found the Far Eastern republic seem
ingly farther than ever from the path
of peace, Eugene Chen, foreign min
lister OF the Cantonese government,
issued an appeal to British labor lead
ers declaring settlement of differ

ed ''if only there is cessation of the

at Shanghai
| The British laborites previously had

In announcing the breaking off OF
