armies DRIVING GEN. MARITIME,
ON PEKINC Are IN N y, STATES
CRUSHED, SAID REVOLTQUELLED

/ PEKING, China. Oct ID P)-The
main Shansi armies which have been
driving on Peking have been crushed
but scattered bands are still in the
! field-some within 20 miles Of Peking
with northern forces close at their
heels, a spokesman for the northern
arrliance stated today.
This spokesman declared that the
northerners deliberately drew the main
Shansi army of 10000 men almost to
Paotingfu, IS miles southwest of Pek-
ing, and then sent the northern army
by way of Anchow toward Tingchow
, to cut off their retreat. Most of the
.ShanSi force was forced to abandon
the Peking -HankoW railway and flee
southwestward toward their native
province Of Shansi.
The latest message from Chang
Hsueh-Liang, son of Marshal Chang
Tso-Lin, stated that his troops are
about to enter Chengtingfu, 20 miles
south OF Faotingfu, but contrary to
previous reports the Shansi forces still
hold the important railway junction
of Chentow, near Chengtingfu. The
northern spokesman said that the fall
of this latter place was expected
hourly
Operations on the northern front
have been delayed unexpectedly by an
early heavy snowfall, but fighting has
been going on at Tsaikowpu, the north
erners advancing westward causing
the Shansi army to evacuate the i'm
port trading city of Galgan.
The Shansi leaders evidently had
made elaborate plans to capture Pek-
ing, the spokesman said. Apart from
the main armies, two divisions were
detailed to advance along the noun
tain roads and cut communications
Z This plan failed largely because of the
rapidity of the northern victory
against the main Shansi armies.
h Several of these raids have been
stopped, notably in the western hills
20 miles from Peking where one
Shansi regiment was disarmed. A
stronger Shansi force took Chochow,
only SO miles south of Picking, but
were driven out by northern troops.
+ The northern spokesman said that
similar raids near Picking were expect
ed but that the raiders were unable
to keep in contact with each other and
were more like bandits than regular
troops. The northern alliance, he said
consequently did not regard their
movements seriously. Even if some Of
these irregulars should appear near
the walls of Picking, and firing should
be heard in the city, he continued,
there would be no cause for fear since
the northerners had ample forces to
round them up.
Severe fighting has been going on
between the northern forces and the
nationalist in the province of Honan,
but reports here indicate a somewhat
slow advance of Shantung (northern)
troops along the Lunghai railway.

Last year labor set for itself the
