MARTIAL LAW
DECLARED FOR
CHINESE CITY
By HAROLD P. MILLS
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

SHANGHAI, June with Ma
tionalist occupation imminent, mar
tial law was declared at Peking to-
day and foreign military forces on
the defensive in the legation quar-
ter were prepared for any emergen-
cy.
Martial law was declared at the
port of decision by Chang Tso-Lin
to defend the city at least for the
time being.
1t was reported that he had told
Chang Chung Chang, one of the
leading Northern generals, to resist
to the utmost with his army in the
Luchow district the advance of the
Nationalist forces.
Prior to the report of this dccis-
ion, Chang Tso-Iin had asked Field
Marshal Wang Shin-Chen to arrange
for maintenance of peace and order
after his withdrawal and pending
the expected entrance of National
ist troops in the city.
1t was not believed at that mo-
ment-unless there was a dramatic
and complete change in the military
ituation-Chang Tso-Lin's new de
cision to remain at Peking could
endure long.
Feng Tien troops of the Northern
army-perhaps its best ones-were
reported retreating, after suffering
heavy casualties with Shan 81 Ma
tionalists ON the western front. The
Northerners were retreating on
Kaoaha Tien.

spiritual mastery without which the
other two are inadequate to win
genuine success, were described.
Prof. Batten urged the applica-
tion of thought power to the prob
lens confronting the class, and
