Dispatches reporting the capture of
WuSuch by the Marking forces have
created feeling Of tenseness in the
Wuhan cities, center OF the opposition
20 the Marking central government.
The public tension was increased
and uneasiness was widespread be-
cause OF reports coming in that the
Marking troops were advancing up
the Yangtse river from Wusueh. The
Wunan leaders are sending additional
troops down the river in an attempt
to block the Marking advance and a
sharp engagement was expected.
Crisis Is Approached
Every indication was that the sit
uation In the area was approaching a
crisis In the struggle between the
Marking government and the Wuhan
opposition. However, it was under
stood that the Wuhan leaders have
completed plans for the evacuation of
Hankow and withdrawal across the
Yangtse to consolidate their positions
IN Human, not considering the loss of
the Wuhan cities as vital. The prov
noes Of Human, Kwangsi and Kwang-
tung are regarded as the real heart

In the event of a withdrawal to the
south. the sphere of fighting was ex-
pected to shift quickly from the
Yangtse valley in the neighborhood
Of Kiukiang to the Human Kianesi

are concentrating forces.

Business circles In Hankow have
been angered by the demand Of the
military chieftains here for 5000 900
Mexican as a war fund of which the
Chinese banks were assessed $780,
300 Mexican.
The attitude of Marshal Teng Yu-
Hsiang still remained uncertain today
despite claims both by the Wuhan
leaders and the Marking govern
ment that they were enjoying his
allegiance. 1t is reported that Fenr

the Picking Hankow railway and is
concentrating large forces at Cheng-

LOVE FOR DOG STOPS
ELEPHANTS RAMPAGE
Hears Bark and Outlets Down After
Tearing Out of Arena and
Breaking Down Fences.

By the Associated Press.
HOUSTON, March Tex, 30-Love
for a dog chum stopped circus ele-
plant on rampage here Thursday.
The pachydern tore out the side of an
arena at the Christy Brothers Circus
Winter quarters, terrorized motorists on
highway and threatened to enter a
farmhouse before it was subdued.
When a leopard being trained to ride
the elephant around the arena rebelled.
the huge beast became excited, breaking
its chains and butting its way out of
the building. Fences went down before
the elephant as it crossed and recroSSed
a railroad track and motorists were
sent scampering to safety as the fugitive
numbered down the Galveston Highway
for mile. waving its trunk wildly.
Slim Walker, bull man." hung on to
a hook in the elephants ear, vainly
trying to quiet the beast.
Finally, at farmhouse, dog barked
furiously. The elephant hesitated.
Then Walker showed his wits.
Here, Rover! Here Rover!" He
called, Juggling at the elephants ear.
The huge animal quieted down,
listened to the keeper for few minutes,
and then tamely submitted to being led
back to the circus headquarters.
'He thought the dog was his chum,
which rode in the car with the elephant
for several seasons" Walker grinned.
