Legation Gets Chinese Charge;
Marking Valves Welfare
Responsibility

PEIPING, Jan. II (I.N.S).
With Japanese troops batter
ing away at the Great Wall
in an alleged attempt to an
mex the rich province of Jehol
to Manchukuo, China served
notice on the world today
that it cannot be held re-
sponsible for the hostilities
now threatening to renew a
general conflagration in the
Far East.
In an official protest handed
to the United States and other
foreign legations here, the Ma
tionalist government at Marking
charged that Japan, by capturing
Shanhaikwan and opening her
drive along the Great Wall, had
taken unfair advantage" of the
protocol Of 1901.
Defense Planned
As a result of this new aggres-
sion, the Chinese government de-
clared, China will be obliged to
take adequate measures to defend
her territory and her interests
menaced by the japanese inva-
sion. The note read:
''FOr this reason the Chinese
government cannot and will not
assume responsibility for what
ever might result from Chinese
defense measures against Jap
aneSe aggression"
The note reached the foreign
legations only a short while after
heavy Chinese re-enforcementS,
including the Third Chinese Cav
airy of Marshal Chang Hsueh-
Liang, had been dispatched to
Chiumenkuo, a strategicaliy-loca-
ted gateway in the Great Wall,
in an effort to stem the japanese
advance.
Bloody Battle Near
Meanwhile, approximately $4,000
Chinese and 5000 japanese troops
struggled for mastery of Chiu-
menkuo, with all indications
pointing to a sanguinary battle
soon.
Both armies were handicapped
by sub-zero weather and biting
wind.
The American legation, through
the embassy at Tokyo, advised

DIVORCE CASE

PARIS, Jan. II G.N.S).-The
carefully maintained illusion Of
the perfect love" existing be-
tween Maurice Chevalier and his
estranged wife, Yvonne Vallee,
was shattered today when their
mutual divorce petition came up
for hearing in the Palais de
Justice.
In statements read by their
attorneys, the famous film star
and his actress wife told their
stories of a broken romance.
Yvonne charged Maurice vir-
tually threw her out of his house
in Hollywood. The smiling actor
alleged in reply that Yvonne's
jealousy made life unbearable.
Both Chevalier and his wife de-
manded the divorce, neither being
willing to step aside and admit
responsibility for the rift.
When the divorce petitions were
filed many months ago, both
Chevalier and his wife insisted
that the actions were friendly in
the extreme, that there was no
diminution of affection on either
side, and that severance Of the
marital bond was being sought
chiefly for the purpose of pro-
longing the romance that bios
somed in the days before Maurice
knew the plaudits of the world.
