THE WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-The Russian
provisional government was trying to
work up enthusiasm in the army for
continuance of the war, but was
meeting with discouraging response.
Its efforts were not helped by the de-
feat of Russian forces on this date
on the Roumanian front by Won
Mackensen's army and by the criti-
cal articles appearing in the newspap-
ers, now that the czarist censorship
had been removed.
But the U. S. was leaping up to take
Russias place, as Northcliffe wished
and designed. (See yesterdays col
umn). A special Cabinet meeting was

GENERAL AUTO STRIKE IS CONSIDERED

} General Motors accedes to
union demands.
6. Authorities in Flint await
word from General Motors at
torneyS, on steps to carry out a
circuit court Injunction issued
Saturday, which orders several
hundred Sitdown strikers to quit
two Fisher body plants, General
Motors affiliates.
Murphy Gives Pledge
Governor Murphy, arriving In
Lansing at noon, said he had
talked with the union delegation
headed by President Homer Mar
tin. on the train from Detroit, and
added:
81 will be in hourly touch with
the situation. There may be i'm
pOrtant developments later in
the day. AS governor, can
speak only for the public, and
can assure the people of this
State there will be no violence
allowed on the part of either
strikers or police officers. The
day of settling disputes in that
way has passed. will do every
thing I can to bring about con-
ciliatiOn and peaceful arbitra-
tiOn."
Murphy said he has not been re-
queSted to call out the State police
in the Flint situation and had no
intention of doing so.
John Brophy, director Of John
Lewis Committee on Industrial
Organization, told union chiefs
the C. I. o. was strongly behind
the auto union, while similarly
expressed support came from Glen
McCabe, of the Glass Workers
Union, whose striking members
have seriously curtailed plate glass
production for autos.
At least 10000 pay checks,
amounting to an estimated $40, 900
hourly, have been cut off as a

NANKING SETS
CHANG FREE
BY PARDON

NANKIN Jan. 4 IN.S0.
One of the most bizarre episodes
IN the centuries-long and some
times fantastic history Of China
drew toward a close today as the
Marking state council pardoned
Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang for
kidnapping Generalissimo Chang
Kai-Shek. premier and military
dictator of the nation.
AS predicted by International
News Service when Marshal
Chang was sentenced to 10 years
imprisonment last week, the coun-
Gil remitted his sentence.
But whether the militant young
marshal, who seized Chang in an
unsuccessful attempt to force
China into war against Japan,
will be reinStated as military over
lord of Sianfu was not yet known.
To Resist Japan
Action of the council ended
series of events which will prob
ably lead to a stiffening of China'S
resistance against Japan.
The sensational kidnapping of
Chang startled China several
weeks ago when Marshal Chang
seized the premier and held him
at Sianfu, at the same time issuing
a virtual ultimatum to the govern
ment demanding declaration of
war against Japan.
After being held for nearly two
weeks, Premier Chang was finally
released, largely as result of the
efforts of his wife. He and the
young marshal then went to Nan
king, where Marshal Chang, in a
letter to Chang, asked that he re-
ceiVe punishment "befitting the
crime"
Chang Shoulders Blame
To this weird request Premier
Chang replied with the equally
fantastic statement that blame
for the kidnapping lay upon him,
because he had failed to maintain
adequate discipline. 1t is largely
through Chiang's Intervention that
his erstwhile captor received the
pardon handed down today
Marshal Chang declared he ;JaS
willing to suffer death, if neces-
sary, and pleaded with Chang not
to let person"l friendship and
sentiment influence him in deal
ing out punishment. At his trial,
Chang declared he had kidnapped
Chang in the belief he was acting
in the best interests of China.
