fully resisting the resolution seems to
lie in the reported objection of some
of the delegates Of smaller countries
on the council to what they say is fore
ing the resolution on the Chinese.
Spain. Norway, Poland and Jugoslavia
are said to have such an objection, but
observers we're doubtful they would
persist in it in the face of the United
States announcement.
Another meeting of the neutral men,
bers Of the council was tentatively fixed
for 4 o'clock this afternoon.
In League quarters it was said some
features of the resolution ought to please
the Chinese. 1t provides for ceSsa-
ton of hoStilities, for mutual inquiry,
and for information from the neutral
observers on the spot, proposal the
Japanese rejected in September.
Telegram Dispatched.
The text of a telegram sent to Toxic
and Marking by Chairman BRAND was
published today. 1t read:
The council Is striving to achieve
a peaceful settlement of the Manchur-
ian dispute, but its efforts would be in
vain If fresh engagements were to oc-
forces.
THE council particularly calls the
attention of the two governments to
the situation existing in the Chinchow
region. Certain governments already
have decided to send observers there,
but it is up to the two parties to give
the commanders of their respective
forces the strictest orders to refrain
from any action which might lead to
further engagements and further loss
of human life.
my colleagues and I rely upon the
two governments to take all the neces-
sary measures for this purpose as soon
as possible"

Fight Is Waged at Chinchow.

NANKING, November 26-The Chi
nese foreign Office protested today in a
note to Japan against reported threat
of Japanese attack on Chinchow, and
warned that Japan will be held respon-
sible for ANY untoward incident" there.
According to latest reports" the
note said, Japanese troops are busily
concentrating at various points south
and west of Mukden and are preparing
an attack on Chinchow and other places
in Southwest Manchuria.
"At the same time false reports are
being circulated by the japanese alleg-
ing that China has sent reinforcementS
to Chinchow, creating thereby q criti-
cal situation, and that a Chinese attack
on the Japanese forces seems probable.
Moreover, on November % Japanese
troops assisted bandits in attacking
Hsinmin. These activities of Japanese
troops are similar to the tactics adopted
by them previous to their invasion of
Hailuno-Kian Province and other CEN
ters
The entire world is amazed at the
persistent pressure Japan has brought
on China in execution of japanese ag-
greSsive plans. The government must
shoulder a heavy responsibility should
any untoward incident happen in the
neighborhood Of Chinchow or Hsinmin.

CHINCHOW, Manchuria, November
26.-Faced with continual reports
which, he said, indicated the japanese
are advancing on this, the last remain
ing center of independent Chinese rule
In South Manchuria, Gen. Yung Cher,
Chinese chief Of staff, told me today
he plans to defend the city to the limit
of his power.
We talked in the principal inn of
the town, where he received me and
where last night he gave a dinner In
honor of Lieut.. Col Nelson Margetts,
British and French attaches, who ar
rived yesterday from Peiping to observe
the expected Japanese drive.
With Gen. Yung was Gen. Mi Chung
Ling, acting chairman Of the provisional
government here.
Gen. Yung is chief of staff for Chang
Hsueh-Liang, Manchurian governor,
who was driven from Mukden at the
beginning OF the present trouble.
Denies Offensive Planned.
He denied reports that the Chinese
have been preparing an offensive in
this area to attempt to regain lost por-
tions of the province.
THE Chinese forces north Of the
wan, IIC odluf oO 1lOL hummer
more than 10000 to 10000 men and
no reinforcements have. been received
from the South since the conflict be-
gan. Some brigades are actually
within the Great Wall"
The Great wall touches the coast
line at the southern tip Of Manchuria.
"Tahushan," he said. marks the
Chinese forward position in the direc-
| ton Of Mukden, except for a cavalry
cf a ha "a
Tingliao Railway for the purpose Of
| guarding the road and suppressing
bandits. This unit in no way threatens
the Japanese"
Orderlies came and went as we
talked. One brought word that the
Japanese had occupied Hsinmintm
and taken over the civil and military
control of the city.
Another came, a little later, with
| news that a Japanese force was NOV.
| ing westward from Liaoyang and had
reached a point east Of Tahushan.
Military Law Grips City.
Liaoyang is about $50 miles to the
| north, not far above the neck of the
| peninsula, on the tip Of which is Chin
chow. It Is Q short distance south OF
Mukden and principal town on the
railroad connecting Mukden and Chin
| chow.
A few minutes later another brought
report that telephone communica-
| ton between Hsinmintun and Tahu-
shan is disrupted.
Gen. Yung drew from these reports
the conclusion that the japanese pos
| Sibly were preparing to advance, and
| this conclusion was concurred in by
Gen. Mi.
IF the Japanese attack is made"
Gen. Yung said, 1.-The main Chinese
stand will be made q few miles north
Of Chinchow. although the line there
lacks trenches and other defense work"
This city today Is in the grip Of
stern military law. SentinelS are chal-
longing pedestrians every few yards
and troops patrol every street.
Crowds Of persons attempted to board
the train at many stations between
| here and Mukden during my journey
down the peninsula. Hundreds of them,
Gl4,en by fear of japanese offensive,
are seeking refuge south of the great
wall, which thousands of years ago
sheltered their ancestors from ravages

According to Mr.. Kidd, the construc-

that actual work on the Lusitania will

Strange Case Of Gen. Nah.

The strange case of Gen. Nah Is
vivid in the minds of most diplomats.
This Chinese general commanding the
troops massed at Tsitsihar is reported
to have been appointed last Monday by
the Japanese government as governor
of the province.
According to diplomatic sources, which
know the inside story" of the TSitSihar
affair, 1t appears that Gen. Nah had
agreed to blow up the bridges across
the Nonni River so as to give the
japanese a pretext to push north. He
made pretenSe of resistance when the
japanese ordered him out Of Tsitsihar,
fought a losing battle and then, I'M
expectedly, is reported to have been
appointed by the japanese governor Of
the district whence he had been routed.
Those who know the methods of ORR
entail diplomacy find this thing quite
natural. For this reason, however, GER
tain diplomats are somewhat uneasy
about the situation at Chinchow.
1t Is not impossible that another
Gen. Ma should be found in command
of the Chinese troops around Chin
chow An unexpected" attack against
the japanese would jeopardize COM
pletely the peace efforts of the United
States and the League of Nations. For
this reason our diplomats, while hope
full that the Sino-Japanese conflict
would be Strengthened out, are not too
optimistic. The ways of Oriental d.
plomacy are too devious to expect an
early settlement Of the dispute.
