WAR LORDS SPLIT
ATNANKING MEET
Fight On in China Over
Spoils

SHANGHAI, Aug. 5.-As the
Central Executive Committee of the
Kuon1intang is unable to muster a
quorum and proceed with it's SEES
sions at Marking reports received
here indicate that General Yen
Hsi-shon, governor of Shansi, is re-
moving his troops from. the Peking
area and concentrating them in
readiness for open warfare
simultaneously, Marshal Feng Yu-
hsiang, has left Marking, and is re-
ported to have refused to participate
in the Kuomintang sessions.
The first indication that the OPP
posing factions within the Marking
regime has come to an open breech
was the sudden retirement of Gen
eral Hsi-shon to his province
of Shansi when he was expected to
be on the way to Marking. The re-
moval of his troops from the Picking
area, where he was left in charge
by Chang Kai-shek, and the report
that he was concentrating them has
led to the general belief that war
fare may break out at any moment
between the Kuomintang generals.
At the same time the withdrawal
of Feng Yu-hsiang from Marking, is
considered here confirmation of
the report that he had allied him
self with General Yen against Chang
Kai-shek and his faction.
In the meantime General Chang
Kai-shek, who just arrived in Shang-
hal, is believed to be attempting to
induce the Canton group of the
Kuomintang to participate in the
plenary sessions and form quorum.
That the disagreement between
the Marking regime and the Japan
ese government is growing sharper
is indicated by reports from Using
tao that the Japanese officials there
had not permitted the Marking
representatives to fly the Kuomin-
tang flag. At the same time the
boycott exercised by Chinese mer-
chants against Japanese goods is
reported to be growing stronger.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 5.-There is a
rumor current among official circles
in Shanghai that the German gov
eminent is preparing to recognize
the Marking regime. The German
minister is expected here from
Peking.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-During
the first four months of this year
there were 1926 grade crossing ac-

This compares with 1,746 for the
same period in 1927, an increase Of
80. One hundred and eighty per-
sons were killed in April.
An average of six persons are
killed daily at grade crossings, the
statistics show. Despite the steady
increase of these accidents, the rail-
way companies, intent on profits,
persist in refusing to install safety
devices that would cut down the
number of accidents.

ALLIANCE SEEN
IN NAVAL PACT
French and British
Jingoes Hail 1t

PARIS, August 5.-The Franco
British naval pact, although still
kept secret, has aroused the Pari-
sien capitalist press to hailing it as
further political and military
bond between the two governments.
Enough has been related from Of
fetal and semi-official sources to
reassure the militarists and conserv-
atiVe opinion that technically nothing
had been done to hinder the growth
of the French navy and that I'M
limited development of the French
land forces will not be interfered
with.
That the conservative forces are
frankly very pleased over the pact
of mutual development is shown by
editorials in de Temps" and the
statement Of well-known conserv-
alive political writer who said:
Haven't the Germans frequently
said we were soldiers of England?
The English have become to some
extent our sailors. The interests
of England and France are compile
mentary."
Hailed as War Agreement.
LONDON, August 5.-The British
press comment on the naval pact
between the English and French
Governments, whether they be favor
able or unfavorable, agree in their
opinion that the pact represents a
virtual alliance for the benefit of
both powers.
1t is pointed out in many papers
that the new pact is analogous in
many ways to the old alliance Of 1906
which prepared the way for the
landing of British troops on French
soil if France were attacked.
The Manchester Guardian, lib
eral paper, suggests that besides
the actual pact itself certain agree
ments have been entered into be-
tween the two naval and military
departments to provide for a pooling
of the two navies in time of war.
The conservative paper, The Satur-
day Review, looks with disfavor
upon the freedom given the French
military authorities to strengthen
their land forces.
