Feng Sticks.
Pei and Lii Tsung-jen are both
members of the Kwangsi group. Pei
has been reported in a pact with
Yen Hsi-shan and Chang Tsung-
chang against the Marking regime.
The declaration expresses the be-
lief that northern China will remain
loyal to Marking. Shortly after its
issuance, Marking published tele-
grams from Feng YuAhieng and
Chang Hsueh-liang pledging their

Rum0r Liu's Treachery.
SHANGHAI, China, March 28.-
The body of the army of Chang
Tsung chang entered Chefoo at 8
a. m. this morning while the troops
of Liu Chen-nien were reported to
have taken up a defensive position
at about six miles outside the city.
Chang has accepted 100000 in
gold from the local chamber of COM
merce to restrain his troops from
looting but it is believed that the
loot of Chefoo is inevitable.
Treachery is still rumored on the
part of Liu Chen-nien, tho the ac-
tual blame is placed as usual upon
a subordinate who left gap in the
line thru which Changes forces were
able to wedge their way. AS this
gap in the lines had been reported
from Chefoo for several days past
it is not considered here that Liu
permitted Chang to enter the city.
Changes troops are said to be well
armed.
