E:XPECT CLASH IN
NORTHERN China
Japan Plans to Tighten
Hold on Manchuria

SHANGHAI, China, April Is. -
Armed struggle between the forces
of Feng Yu-hsiang and Chang Kai-
shek is forecast following the evacu-
alton today of governor of Using
Tao, Chao Chi, puppet of the Japan
csc from the northern faction of
warlords. A lieutenant of Feng's
will immediately assume control of
the city.
Chang Kai-shek, in the name of
the Marking government, has begged
Chang Hsueh-liang, Manchuria war;
lord, to rush troo-5 to prevent Feng
from taking over all Shantung and
Using Tao.
Chang Hsueh-liang has refused
to send the troops and instead is
concentrating his forces at Shan
Hai-kwan where the Teintsin- Muk-
den Railroad pierces the Great Wall.
Chang has twice petitioned the
Japanese government not to with
draw its troops.
Japan has refused, nothing loath
to see the struggle between the war
lords looming, since it promises
tightening of Japanese control of
Manchuria and grabbing of richer
prizes than the japanese govern
ment has yet seized.

1t has been said that the history
of a people can be traced in it's
folk songs. This is particularly true
of the Russian people, who have
poured into their songs the suffer-

The rise of the revolutionary
movement in Russia gave birth to
new type of folk song, songs ex-

OPINIONS OF CEMENT.

Gladkov's novel is one of the
most important books that can
now be read; indeed, one that must
be read. . 1t is such direct, COM
pact expression of life that is now
being, or has recently been lived
in Russia, of the convictions and
moods operative there and strug-
Cling to take shape, that its dOcu-
mentary value is, and will remain,
incalculabIe.-VOs Zeitung.
In Literature's Front Rank.
Thus the author has COM
bined consistent naturalism with
true poetry and has thereby Gre
ated a standard work which will
surely secure front rank in mod
ern literature.-Oie Welt am Nor
gen (Vienna).
Epic of New Russia.
Cement" is the epic of new
Russia. 1t is an epic of passion
and power. (Der Tag, Vienna).
Best of Worlds Novels.
Thus this book is in reality a
text book which belongs as much
to our scientific literature as to
the best social novels of world lit
erature among which it takes front
rank. (Ruhr, Germany, EchO).
Develops Great Problem.
Maxim Cork, in an interview
with Soviet seamen, 'Since we are
already speaking of writer's, l
wish to refer to one more, that is,
of Gladkov. His Cement is one
of the most important creations,
a work of dimensions. For Glad
kov here develops one of the
greatest problems of today, the
question of labor, of labor disci-
pline, that is, the most living
problem Of today. And he solves
this problem in the most splendid
manner"
The New, Budding Life.
A. Serafimovich in the Pravda
of February 16, 1929, raises the
following question:
'Why does Cement exercise
such an attraction?" And replies
as follows: Because it is the
first comprehensive picture of a
revolutionary country which has
undertaken its reconstruction; the
first artistic reflection of revOlu-
tionary reconstruction, of the new,
budding life"
