JAPAN ENDS
CHINA DRIVE
Governor Of Chahar Province
Reported Ready To Capitulate
To Demands.
BY HERBERT II. EKINS
United Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright 1895 by United Press
PEIPING, Jan. 25.-General Sung
Cheh-Yuan, Chinese Governor of
Chahar province, was reported ready
today to capitulate to the demands
of a japanese military force that
he withdraw within the Great Wall
of China.
Fighting ceased in the area after
three days of guerillalike warfare
in which at least SO Chinese and 10
Nippon soldiers lost their lives.
The Japanese rested on their arms
after taking possession of a strip of
North China claimed jointly by
Manchukuo and Chahar. i,
Consolidating their position be-
fore the Great WALL which for CEN
turies has guarded China from its
northern enemies, the japanese
sent word to General Sung that
they are ready to discuss over the
conference table the dispute about
the Jehol- -Chahar boundary.
Japanese scouting and bombing
planes flew over the area, circling
the walled city of Tushihkou. Major
Takahashi, japanese military at
tache in Peiping, admitted the city
had been bombed Thursday. He
said there will be no further oper-
ations as long as troops of both
sides maintain their present posi-
ton. Tension in Peiping and Kali
gan diminished.
Frontier Quiet
Except for the droning of the
planes, the frontier was quiet.
The conference will attempt to
straighten out the exact boundary
lines separating Chinese Chahar
from Manchukuan Jehol. Further
Japanese advances are not expect
ed pending results of the meeting
of the military leaders in Kalgan.
A Japanese regiment of 1000 men
had moved against Sungs irregu-
lars Tuesday after repeated de-
mands that he evacuate the disput-
ed territory were ignored. Chinese
machine gunners attempted to stem
the tide of the Nippon military ma
chine, which was supported by field
guns, planes and armored cars. The
Chinese we're driven steadily back
and, when the japanese penetra-
ton halted, had taken refuge in
side the wall.

Is Good Shot
Makes 49 Out of so Hits
With Rifle.

By Times Special
HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb. 23.-
Lyle Talbot is one of the best rifle
shots in Hollywood and proved it
not long ago.
At the First National studios,
where he shares with Ann Dvorak
and Gordon Westcott the leading
honors in Murder in the Clouds"
one scene called for Lyle to enjoy
himself at a beach resort shooting
gallery.
An expert rif1eman had been
brought to the set to shoot down a
line of clay pipes. and it had been
planned to fake" the shooting to
make it appear that Talbot was the
perfect marksman.
When it came time to film the
scene, however, Lyle quietly stepped
forward and demonstrated MS
prowess with the rifle, establishing
himself as an outstanding sharp
shooter. No taking" of the rifle
shooting was necessary.
Lyle registered a score of 40 di-
rect hits out of a possible so, and
such shooting, declared the fire
arms expert who reported for duty
and didn't work, requires neither
substitute nor apology.
