Refuses to Heed Warning of Japanese to Stop

Chang Tso Lin Continues Drive Japan lncreas-
 ing Strength

PEKING. May 19.-Refusal of Chang Tso Lin, Northern Dicta- tor, to heed the Japanese warn ing intended to prevent the Chi nese Civil War from spreading to Manchuria, has intensified the situation in China.
 Chang Tso Lin had been ad- vised by the Japanese to retire to Manchuria because if he was beaten by the Southerners he would not be permitted to seek refuge there since Japan would tolerate no fighting in that Prov ince.
 Chang Tso Lin made plans in stead to drive back the Southern CTS while Japan proceeded to in crease the strength of the Jap anese garrison and blocking any possibility of Chang's retreating through there.
 This is regarded as the most monetous development in the Far East since the World War. There is a suggestion that Japan is planning to establish a pro- tectorate over Manchuria.
 The Japanese expect bitter hos tillty from all Chinese because of the recent bloodshed at ] Tsinan.

Quite recently reports, said to be authoritative, have been cir
 culated that the jaunty King All fonso XIII has been constrained to consult the Vatican with a ! view to obtaining annulment of
 his union with Queen Victoria
 Eugenie, tall and regal grand daughter of the late, dumpy Bri-
 tish Queen-Empress Victoria.
 His Most Catholic Majesty is | thought to agree with Dictator
 Primo de Rivera that none of the
 four Spanish Infantes (sons of
 the King) are physically fit to | inherit the throne. For their
 weaknesses and infirmities His
 Majesty is understood to blame not his own ardent self, but Her
 Majesty. He is said to have test ed this theory by begetting, under
 the rose, certain quite robust off spring.
 Meanwhile, unfortunate Queen
 Victoria Eugenie is not likely to forget that she is descended (through her father) from the
 Teuton family of Hesse-Darm-
 stadt. In the strain of that house
 abides the dread and mysterious disease, haemophilia.
 The blood of haemophile does
 not congeal normally upon con- tact with the air, and thus the slightest wound leads to profuse bleeding, due to the extreme re-
 tardation of the process yulgarly
 called "healing."s Now it hap pens that from the haemophilic
 House of Hesse-Darmstadt have sprung the last of the Russian
 Tsarinas, Alexandra, and the pres ent Queen Victoria Eugenie of J Spain. To each of these exalted
 mothers came the bitter pang of recognizing in her first born son
 haemophile.
 As everyone knows Tsarina Alexandra and Tsar Nicholas the
 Last came under the influence of the notorious Black Monk" Ras- putin because he could control

 Not until the assassination of
 Rasputin and the execution of the
 Romanovs did history have done with that dark incident. Today | Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain is said to repose a strong intui. tive faith in a certain obscure
 Catalonian doctor whom she hopes may be able to cure the
 haemophilia of her first born, Don Alfonso, 21, Prince of the As. turias, and heir to Alfonso XIII's throne. Just recently this slender. pale
 and weak young prince was con
