Chang Hsueh-Liang's Manchurian
army are making hurried prepara-
tions today for the expected Of
8enSive by the Japanese, whose
reported aim is to drive the last
Chinese soldier south Of the Great
Wall.
Building Trenches
With Japanese detachmentS re-
ported approaching from the
region of Mukden, Chinese soldiers
are hastily building trenches
along the railway outside Chin
Schow. Cavalry patrols are active
outside the city, and Chinchow
is thronged with soldiers.
Similar scenes can be observed
In villages nearby, according to
foreign observers just returned
from an observation tour.
Gen. Yung Cheng. however,
told International News Service
that instead of the army of 100,-
900 to 100000 men the japanese
claim he possesses in this vicinity,
he has below 10000 men,"
Resistance Seen Hopeless
Assisting Gen. Yung Cheng in
the defense preparations is Gen.
Mi Ching-Lin, who was director
Of the Mukden arsenal when the
japanese occupied the city and
fled to Chinchow with other asso-
ciates of Marshal Chang Hsueh-
Liang.
Military leaders admit the
chance Of resisting successfully a
general japanese attack is very
slight, but they intend to do
their best. The Chinese garrison
appears to be composed mostly
Of school boys, whereas the
Japanese are well trained and
