NATIONALIST FORCES
ONOFFENS|VE AFTER
RETREATDNC REBELS
Triple Victory Over Three Re.
voting Factions Followed
Up by Marking
LAWLEssNEsS IS RAMPANT
Chang, 'lronsides' Commander,
Reported Suicide After De-
feat in Cory Battle

Shanghai. Dec. l7.-R)-The bat
tle-worn nationalist government ap-
pearcd to be on the offensive In
China today after following up its
triple victory over three rebellious
factions which almost caused its
downfall.
Instead of being in the precarious
defensive position disclosed by reports
a few days ago, advices indicated that
the tide had turned once more In
favor Of Marking and that. nation
alist soldiers were entering rebellious
territory with hostile forces appar-
entity crumbling in the face Of the
advance.
At Canton, where the nationalist
won a bloody battle December .. the
rebellious "Ironsides" division Of Gen.
cral Chang Fak-W and the Kwang-
81 rebels. who cooperated In an I'D
vance upon the southern Metropolis,
were reported crushed. General
Chang, who with his division with.
drew from the nationalist army some
time ago and turned against the ma
tionalist government. was reported ia
have committed suicide as the result
Of his defeat. but the report remained
unverificd and ~uncredited.
Predict Tang's Collapse
Collapse OF the insurgents north Of
Hankow under command of General
Tang Yun-Sheng was expected in ma
tionalist quarters Is the reeult OF
government victories In that area.
Tang's recent advance caused the
evacuation Of many foreigners from
Hankow, important central China
City.
Nationalist forces also claimed ia
have the rebels In q precarious con-
6ition north Of Pukow.
These successes seemingly gave
Marking the advantage but condi-
tions remained otherwise unsettled In
many places. Most Of the foreigners
who make their homes In Marking,
the nationalist capital. remained here.
They am to Shanghai recently when
the threat Of the rebels menaced the
capital. The American missionaries
started for Marking last night to de-
terminc whether It was safe for other
foreigners to return.
TO Defend Consulates
American authorities said they did
not contemplate defense Of the Unit
cd States consulate there In case OF
disorder but would cvacuatc Ameri-
cans to ships in the Yangtse river.
British and japanese authorities have
made plans to defend their c~onsulAtcS
II necessary.
Minor troop objections continued
and outlawry prevailed In many
places. especially in the Yangtse val
ley. Bandits at Inchany fired upon
two American river boats. hoping to
force them to submit % looting. They
escaped, but several Chinese members
Of their crews were wounded.
Bandits were reported to have loot
ed villages In Kwangtung province,
staying the Gentry indiscriminately.
Observers believed that the M.
tioualist government remains tho
principal authority in central and
southern China but that lawlessness
throughout the country seemed more
prevalent than ct any other time In
recent years.
