NAT|0NAL|STSUN|TE'
TO FIGHT JAPANESE
Marshal Chang, China's
"Strong Man." Puts War
on Broad Scale.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PEIFING, China, March II. - For
the first time in the 18 months of Sino-
Japanese fighting in the north, the
Chinese Nationalist government ac-
lively took over responsibility and
leadership today Of the Chinese cam
paign.
Marshal Chang Kia-Shek, the
strong man to rise in power in China
since the birth of the republic and vir-
tual dictator of the Nationalist regime
since its establishment in 1928, has
taken over direct command of the army
of the north.
Large Foreign Interests.
Fears in this international treaty
zone, with its large foreign interests
and population. that the japanese are
poised at the Great Wall of China
points to attack here next were current
as the veteran war chief took over
leadership heretofore in the hands OF
the young Marshal Chang Hsiao-Liang
were entered in the struggle heretofore
and most of the fighting depended on
volunteer bands in Manchuria and
Jehol, Marshal Chiang's first important
order was to send one OF his own d.
visions to Kupeikow, only IS miles
northeast Of here, where hard-1ougnt
battle was waged the past two days.
Meanwhile, the youthful Chang, who
had little more than the good wishes
of the Nationalist government to aid
him. left by plane today for Shanghai,
possibly en- route to Europe. The head
quarters he maintained here since being
driven out of Manchuria more than
year ago were closed and his sub
ordinates seemingly have disappeared.
Controls Large Army.
The 45-year-old Marshal Chang
controls a vast army, takes an active
part in forming China's foreign as well
as internal policies and keeps an eagle
eve on the finance ministry headed by
his brother-in-law. T. V. Soong. Learn
ing the art of war watching Trotsky'S
Red Army in Moscow, he conquered
China in a brilliant two-year military
drive from Canton to Peiping to es-
tablish the Nationalist movement.
Although his resources in the south
are great, an important question NOW
is whether he can. gain the loyalty OF
the huge army of about 200 poorly
paid and poorly equipped Manchurians
who fought after fashion for young
Chang.
Gen. Ho Wing Ching. the Nationalist
government minister of war has taken
over the military headquarters here in
behalf of Marshal Chang.
The lightning-like turnover in con-
troll constituted a bloodleSs revolution
in which, thus far, there has been no
hostile reaction discernible.
Marshal Chiang's departure perma-
nently terminated his participation in
Chinese politics.

who come daily from all parts Of the country;
some come as individuals, some as representa-
tives of this or that group or bloc and others
as representatives of great masses OF people
OF course there are the lobbyists, the limelight
seekers and the State politicians. They all
may represent very different schools of thought.
but they all are alike in one particular-they
want something.
Therefore the Presidents time is taken up
to large extent with such audiences OF
course he can not see all who apply. This
would be absolutely physically impossible. These
audiences are arranged to great extent by
the Presidents secretary. In doing this the
secretary's first aim Is to save as much OF the
Presidents time and energy as possible and to
dispose of as many callers himself as possible.
IN making out the presidential engagement list
] of callers each day the secretary generally
confines these audiences to the hours between
10 and o'clock, and at the same time tries to
limit the audience to not more than Is minutes.
Some are put down on the engagement schedule
for only 10 minutes and. where the nature OF
callers business permits 1t, a 5-minute audience
is scheduled This engagement is generally
made up day or so in advance. but invariably
additions must be made. In addition there are
always some Senators or Representatives or
other individuals whose official, political or
ether prominence and Importance warrant
an audience who drop in without having
made an engagement. These mpromptu call
ers whose business is invariably, according to
their own opinion. urgent must be squeezed
in somewhere. This, of course, jams the calling
list and shoves it behind the time schedule.
Presidents themselves contribute somewhat
to their schedule running behind time. 1t is
difficult for them to be actually hard-boiled
in bringing these audiences to an abrupt end
at the expiration of the allotted time That
really is one of the duties of the presidential
secretary whose Office adjoins the Presidents
ROOM The secretary ushers in the various
callers, and, when necessary, makes the intro
auctions and he is expected to hold the stop
watch so to speak, and then to break in on the
interview when time is up. This is supposed
to be a nicer way than having the President
himself saying to his caller words to the effect
of there's your hat, what's your hurry?"
This scheme not always apply because
many of the callers are of certain prominence
either politically or otherwise to warrant their
talking to the President longer than their alct-
ted time. And, too Presidents themselves pro-
long some of these audiences, either because
they are particularly interested in the subject
being discussed or because of a personal liking
for the caller and turns the business talk into
a social chat.
Therefore the daily schedule of business calls
