3,000 CHINESE ARE CAPTURED AS ARMY IS PUT TO ROUT

JAPANESE RUSH NEW FORCES TO > AID IN CONFLICT jTokio Refuses to Comment on Chang's Plan to Cease Fighting. .RALLY FOR FINAL STAND Both Sides Send Reserves Into War Zones for / Supreme Ciash. t BY D. C. BESS Vnited Press Staff Correspondent PEKIN, China, May 10.— The iJapanese-Chinese situation in Shantung province continued grave today ■with fresh engagements reported ifrom the Tsinan Tsingtao Railroad area, and advices from Tientsin that part of the Chinese Nationalist army jwas in retreat southward. New engagements resulted in Japanese disarming 3,000 Nationalist troopers. There was no indication of whaf ; the casualties of recent engagejments totaled and only the mea- , merest details reached this northern China capital of the battles. j Reports said Japenes reinforce- j inrents were being spread over the j territory around the Shantung j province. Nine airplanes, an ar-, tillcry brigade and five infantry j companies were reported en route j to the Tientsin garrison. Chang's Ultimatum Unanswered | Thus far there has been no indi- j cation of the Japanese attitude tooward the announcement of Gen. Chang Tso Lin, commander of th; iNorthern armies, that he would cease his warfare against the approaching armies of the South. ' “All China is faced by an outIside danger,” General Chang's announcement said. Although the Manchurian war lord has long been considered friendly toward the, Japanese, lie Las repeatedly declared against any outside interference in China’s international affairs. The threat of a union of Chinese ■various warring factions means the possibility of a great Chinese force. Gen. Chiang Kai Shek, commander of one part of the Southern army, has approximately 100,000 men through Shantung province. Jap Soldiers Outnumbered Gen. Feng Yu Hsiang, another leader, is believed to have an army of about the same size. General Chang has between 100.000 and 150.000 men while the commander of the Shansi area hxs probably another 100,000 men. Japan at present has about 5,000 men in the Chinese fighting zone, ■with 18,000 reinforcements en route. Japanese battle cruisers are en aoute up the Yangtze River while airplane reinforcements are reported to have been ordered into the zone. The Japanese are said to be better armed and better trained than the Nationalist troops of Gen. Chiang Kai Shek, with whom they have been flghfng in the Tsinan area. No Fear for Foreigners Little fear has been felt thus far foreigners—other than Japanese—in the area. It was reported from Tokio that some of the consular officers and some few other foreigners had left Tsinan for Tsingtao, the port, Wednesday, after the more than thirty hours engagement between the Nationalists and the Japanese. Advices today from Shanghai told how the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, bankers, students and laboring organizations had decided to start an immediate boycott against the Japenese. Fire on Jap Marines The anti-Japanese feeling there has reached such a stage that Chinese fired on Japanese marines beyond the cotton mill. There was an answering fire from the Japanese but there were no casualties. Also it was in Shanghai that the chamber of commerce urged Gen. Chang Tso Linto cease his engagement against the southern troops so that a united front might be started against the foreign army. It was this resolution that caused General Chang to announce at least a temporary cessation of his campaign against the forces of Gen. Chiang Kai Shek. Four Japanese destroyers arrived Wednesday at Shanghai and are believed to have caused some of the dissatisfaction there.
