TOXIC, May 24.-Advices from
China indicated today that the North
erners, who were faced with a critical
situation which threatened to bring
about the fall Of both Peking and
Tientsin into Nationalist hands, had
beaten back the Nationalist troops.
They were following up the advantage
gained in a terrific offensive by pursu-
ing the retreating Nationalists.

that province occupying Tsinan, hurled
IL army corps, totaling 10000 men, into
the breach to stem the Nationalist
drive northward.
Attack on Hokien.
At the end Of a terrific onslaught on
the city of Hokien, 100 miles south OF
Peking, and a vital strategic center in
the defense Of the Northern capital, 1t
was in the hands Of Northerners. The
Nationalists were driven out Of the city
to the south and the Northerners were
In pursuit.
Further to the west at Paotingfu., 80
miles south of Peking, a Nationalist
airplane bombed the city, dropping
bomb at the railway station In the
vicinity of Northern military special
train and at other places, causing great
confusion.
With the rumble Of fighting south Of
Peking steadily growing stronger as the
Northerners turned on the Nationalists,
