tory viii recall Chang Hsiao-Liang's
role In the events which cost China
her potentially rich Manchurian prov
inces. He was Governor Of Manchuria
when the Japanese conquest began in
1881 and was elected with little more
than show Of resistance.
The young marshal" as he Is still
called despite his 80 years, was Ill with
typhoid in Peiping when the conquest
began with the capture of Mukden,
September 1919, 1881, and although
the Japanese campaigns continued for
nearly two years. not once did he re-
turn to his former domains to lead the
resistance. In September. 1881, he
commanded an estimated 250,000
soldiers in Manchuria, considered the
best drilled and equipped of all Chinese
forces. They were elected by Japanese
forces which did not exceed three
divisions. Today Marshal Chang's
military power is only a shadow OF that

men. They are there to hold Chang's
former territories perpetually for the
independent empire Of Manchukuo,"
which they created, which means hold
them under the complete control of the
emperor's government at Toxic.
Father Rose to Power.
Chang Hsiao-Liang has been called
the young marshal" for nearly two
decades. originally to distinguish him
from his father, the "old marshal"
hard-bitten, crafty Chang Tso-Lin, the
one-time bandit who rose by his own
wits and skill in Chinese warfare to
rule all Manchuria, at times large

portions Of North China and once even
aspired to found his own dynasty to
rule the Chinese nation.
The young marshal" has failed to
measure up to the abilities of his
father, who died in June, 1928, as the
result Of injuries received when the
train in which he was retreating from
an adventure in North China was
bombed on the outskirts Of Mukden,
with some degree. alleged and still un-
determined, of combined Chinese
Japanese collusion.
Young Chang was in 1928 an ad-
mirer Of Chang Kai-Shek, who had
completed the campaigns by which the
new Nationalist regime had extended
Its rule from Canton to the Great Wall.
On his own initiative he raised the
Nationalist banner in Manchuria and
declared his allegiance to the Marking
regime. When he was expelled from
Manchuria Gen. Chang befriended
him, gave him military and adminis-
trative posts In Central China. which
gave him power and prestige, helped
greatly to save that "face" which Is
almost dearer to Chinese than life
itself.
Later, however, Chang found the
former Manchurian overlord an un-
satisfactory subordinate and moved
him from the lush Yangtsze Provinces
to the bleak Northwest, ostensibly in
command of forces fighting Chinese
Communists who had taken foothold
in Northern Shensi and Kansu Prov
inces after long trek from South
Central China, when Chang Kai-
Shek's own troops had dislodged them.

Moved to Southeast.
The Marking generalissimo, there
fore. had decided to move him and
his troops, more and more friendly to
the Communists they were supposed
to fight, to Fuk.en Province in the
Southeast, where they could do no
damage. It was that decision, ap-
parently. that moved Marshal Chang,
ambitious, embittered and incapable,
to raise the rebel flag.

plex crisis Is difficult to judge. jap
anese military leaders on the CONT
nent undoubtedly in the past have
welcomed manifestations Of Chinese
disunity. They have not welcomed
the growing political and military
power of Chang Kai-Shek. On the
other hand there Is still civilian ele-
ment In Toxic which has held an op-
posite view and would welcome a gov
ernment which could speak for all
China.
Nearly all dispatches on the Sianfu
drama thus far have come through
japanese channels and should be read
with that fact In mind. The Chi
nese government has imposed rigid
censorship on all outgoing press tele-
grams and no complete Chinese ver-
sion of the affair has reached the out

With Marshal Chang has rested,
more than with any other man either
in China or Japan, the decision as to
whether China would fight Japan. It
was his to decide the two fundamental
questions: When Japan's aggressions
on Chinas northern frontiers and on
her administrative independence be-
came intolerable; when China was
ready to offer effective resistance.
Experienced observers Of oriental
statecraft and history will receive Mar
shall Chang's flamboyant, gesture, in
calling for immediate war against
Japan, with more than their customary
scepticism. They will recall, first, that
it has been the custom of nearly all
leaders or cliques in China who re-

NEW YORK, December IL R).-The
bold coup attributed by Toxic sources
To Marshal Chang Hsiao-Liang. one
time overload Of Manchuria, in seiz-
ing Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek
and some of his ranking generals at
Sian Flu, in Northwestern China, does
not bring war between a unified China
and Japan closer, in spite of Chang's
dramatic gesture in calling the nation
to follow his banners in hostilities
against the Japanese.
Rather it threatens to remove the
one man who in recent years has
given real promise of providing China
with that national solidarity and mill
tary power needed to withstand the
fanatically patriotic, highly trained
and well-armed veterans of the jap
anese Emperor's armies.
The coup throws the whole Far
Eastern situation into confusion.
Chang Kai-Shek has been, more than
any other individual, the key man
OF the Oriental situation. He has been
all-powerful in the still limited num-
Der of provinces which adhere to the
Nanking national government. In
that sphere he has been spreading
Markings rule, and at the same time
building up with Marking as the CEN
ter, war machine which has been
China's only hope of successfully re-
sisting Japan.
His chosen divisions are trained in
at least the rudiments of military SCI
ence by more than two score German
officers, veterans of the Kaiser's
armies. His rapidly expanding air
force is largely taught by American
pilots and equipped with modern
American planes. Those units make
up the only force among all China's
more than 2,000,00 men under arms
which could hope to stand against the
little brown men from across the
China Sea.
Leader of Army for Eight Years.
For eight years Gen. Chang has
been the undisputed leader Of the ma.
tional governments army. A year
ago he was made chairman Of the
Executive Yuan of the Marking
regime, a post equivalent to that OF
prime minister in European govern
ment. A new constitution has been
framed for the Chinese Republic
creating the new office Of President
and it was universally accepted that
when, or If, that constitution was
voted into operation by national plebis.

TRIAL
LIKELY IN SPY CASE
Japan Refuses to Allow Two
Naval Officers to Be
Questioned.

Trial of John s. Farnsworth, for
mer Navy lieutenant commander.
charged with espionage, probably will
be held in February, developments to-
day indicated.
United States Attorney Leslie c.
Garnett was informed by the State
Department that the japanese govern
ment has refused to execute papers
calling for questioning of two jap
anese naval officers with whom Farms
worth Is alleged to have conspired.
Authority to examine the two Jap
anese was obtained from the courts by
Farnsworth's attorneys and it was
thought at the time the move would
delay the trial indefinitely, since the
Japanese officers are in Japan.
The imperial Japanese government
informed the State Department, how
ever, that Japanese law forbids it to
compel officers of its army or navy to
answer such interrogators. The ques-
tions proposed concerned allegations
made in the indictment of the former
naval officer.
Farnsworth was charged with con-
spring with Yosiyuki Itimiya and
Akira Yamski, both former naval at
taches at the Japanese Embassy here.
to furnish the Japanese government
confidential information concerning
the national defense. Farnsworth is
