AFGHAN REBELLION
FORCES DEFEATED
Kings Abdication Denied.
American Woman Tells of
Terror in KabuI.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 29.-Advices tc
the Afghan legation from the foreign
troops loyal to King Amanullah of AT
ghanistan over rebels on two fronts
The rebel movement in the Eastern
province was losing ground and the
Northern rebels were in full flight.
The legation denied a rumor that
King Amanullah intended to abdicate
in favor of his son.
The advices stated that Northern
rebels were being pursued in order to
compel their submission. The capital
itself was in normal state.
Legations Custer Not Asked.
The position of the government at
Jalalabad was stated to be strong and
the important Mohmand tribe was as
sisting government troops against the
ShinwariS, with whom the government
was negotiating for peace. The gov
ernment stated that the Shinwaris were
uOt ludhulS ally dAlGI-4OACAsA ucIIldL1uS
as the price of peace and that it was
untrue that expulsion of all foreign le-
cations from Kabul had been demanded
Mrs. Carol Isaacson, a young Ameri-
can woman who was rescued from
Kabul by British military airplane
described to the Peshawar, India, cor
respondent of the Daily Mail her ex-
periences, when the revolt interrupted
her honeymoon. She said she had
nearly given up hope when she was
rescued. Her husband, Allen Isaacson
remained behind with the other men.
Food Shortage First Sign.
The first sign of danger, she said
was a shortage of food at the hotel
where she and her husband were stay
ing. Rumors spread that roads were
impossible because Of trouble at Jalala-
bad. Then the British legation inti-
mated that trouble was brewing in
Kabul itself and armed guards were
placed around the hotel. The next day
she and her husband took what goods
they could in the Gag in which they had
been touring and dove into the Brit
ish legation grounds.
Lady Humphreys {wife of the British
Minister) was mother to us ALL" Mrs
4SddCSOn Sd1Q. vi course we were un-
der severe conditions. I and some other
women had a corner of the library to
sleep in. 1t was bitterly cold at night.
1.-THE second night we were alarmed
by shots near the legation. We jumped
up in fright, although I can say the
women behaved magnificently.
"Sir Francis Humphreys had the men
assembled in the hal and the Minister
himself went out to inspect the guards
posted around the legation alls.
"The night was lighted by flashes of
fire and bullets passed over the lega-
ton walls. The next day we settled
down to short rations of Afghan food,
though the legation cook did his best
for the huge family.
Then came the great dag when we
heard that British airplanes had ac-
tually left PeShawar. Early in the
morning we heard the whirr of the ma
chimes and were told to prepare our
selves Immediately for a dangerous
march under escort to the landing
ground"
Mrs. Isaacson said that the last she
saw Of the legation was from the air.
One wing and one house in the ruins of
the garden were torn with sheM holes,
but the flag was still flying.

MUKDEN, Manchuria, December %.
Acceptance without reservation of
the authority of the Nanking National
ist government was announced today
by Gen. Chang Hsueh-Liang and his as
sociates in the government of the three
eastern provinces. The decision was
symbolized by the hoisting of the flag
Of Nationalist China.
(Chang Hsueh-Liang inherited the
rule of Manchuria from his father,
Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, who through
out his life had attempted to prevent
Northern China from falling into the
hands of the Nationalists. Shortly
after his accession to power young
Chang announced that he would throw
later announced postponement of
such an alliance after Japan had made
representations to him against such
CourSe.)
Situation Held Altered.
Kyujiro Hayashi, Japanese consul
general at Mukden, today said that
Japan did not intend to intervene in
political and administrative reforms in
Manchuria. He intimated that the sit
nation today differed from that of last
July, when Japan advised Manchuria
against such a union.
In circular telegram sent through
out Manchuria Chang Hsueh-Liang
stated that hs father during his life
time never opposed the principles of
DR.. Sun Yat-Sen, but only fought Com
stated that his fathers will expressed
the hope that China would be unified
and that peace would come. He added
that the policies of Marking were now
s'identical with those of Manchuria."
The placing of Manchuria under the
Nationalist flag does not mean an inn
mediate essential change of Manchuria'S
masters although Markings sovereignty
IS formally recognized.
Commission Takes Charge.
Instead of the Manchurian peace
preservation committee which was
formed after the assassination of Mar
6hal Chang with young Chang as its
EAlAAI II1AdAIs bAlC ulAIlS hOuJ AL NAdAACAulA A1
becomes the northeastern frontiers de-
fense commission. Young Chang will
remain as chairman of this commission
and the personnel will be virtually the
name as that of the old body.
Flags were hoisted today instead Of
On the New Year because Marking in
sisted in making the 1928 year COM
plete Nationalist triumph by the re-
nnification of all Chinese dominionS
under Kuomintang.
The Mukden- Nanking agreement is
understood to provide for local auton-
nmy for Manchuria including the right
TO levy and retain all taxes. Control
of foreign relations, however, will be
transferred to Marking.

new GOLF GROUP
Is FORMING HERE
Hill Offers Privileges at the
Hillandale at a Charge Of
Only 81 a Week
ASHMORE TAKING NAMES

Under a plan perfected by
John Sprunt Hill, owner of the
course at the Hillandale Club in
Durham, citizens of Chapel Hifl
are enabled to play golf regu-
larly at a small cost. Henry Poe,
the pro at Hillandale, brought
information of this when he Wis
tied the village the other day.
Full golf privileges are offered
to residents of Chapel Hill and
students of the University for
81 a month, payable quarterly,
without any initiation fee, if as
many as Is will come in on the
proposition. Whoever wants to
take advantage of the offer
should enroll with Coach James
N. Ashmore, who has agreed to
collect the first quarterly fee
and transmit to the club the
names of the new members.
Plans are under way for a
considerable expansion and inn
provement of the links. Sur
veys are being made for new
18-hole course which will be laid
out by Donald Ross some time
this spring. For several years
Chapel Hill golfers have been
playing at Hillandale, but not
before on such favorable terms
as are now possible. In addi-
ton to the golf privileges they
will have the use of the ample
dressing and bathing facilities
at the club house.

Planting Goes on
Cedars and Pines Are Set out on
HiIlsides at the Stadium

Most people around Chapel
Hill have forgotten the stadium
since the big football game on
Thanksgiving Day. Or, so one
would gather from the lack of
conversation about it.
But the persons who have the
stadium in charge have not fail
ed to keep it in mind. The chief
activity of late has been plant
ing. Hundreds of little pines
and cedar trees have been haul
ed in from the woods and set
out in and around the big en-
closure under the advice of the
botanist-decorator, w. c.. Coker.
They rise, green and fiourishing,
on the steep hillsides at the ends
of the concrete stands; and they
march up the slopes to form a
border inside the encircling
fence.
Back of the stands workmen
have been busy finishing off the
paths and perfecting the drain
age. Hedges have been planted,
and the gateways are tastefully
decorated with shrubbery. The
care of the vegetation at the sta
dunn will be a permanent task
for the athletic authorities. With
the advice and aid of the bot
anists they will fertilize and
water and prune, week by week
and month by month, so that in
autumn the crowds may feast
their eyes not only upon the
strength and skill of men but
upon the beauty of Nature.
