The Japanese assert that the wife
Of the Chinese Governor Of Jehol, Gen.
Tang Yu-Lin, is being held as q hostage
in Peiping to make him offer terce
resistance to their troops. They ac-
cuse Marshal Chang o-Liang. the
North China war lord. Of holding Tangs
wife at his headquarters in the ancient
Manchu imperial capital, which is
about 100 miles south Of Tang's capital
at Jehol City.
Long Conflict Seen.
Tang has served as Governor Of
Jehol under Marshal Chang both be-
fore and since the latter was driven out
Of Manchuria by the Japanese. (Chi-
nese reports said his allegiance to Chang
has been unmoved by Japanese over

The Japanese confidently predict the
