| By United Press | TOKYO, July 15—The war of- | fice announced today that it had | decided to send troops from Japan | to reinforce its army in China. This news, emphasizing the extreme gravity with which the Peiping crisis is regarded, came soon after an order to 3,000,000 army reservists to be ready for a call to duty. It followed also a meeting of provincial governors with the cabinet at which Vice Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai, navy: minister, announced that warships were being sent to the China coast.

Send Troops to Peiping

Japan already is pouring thou- | sands upon thousands of troops in- | to the Tientsin-Peiping area from | Manchukuo and Korea. | Gen. Ikutaro Inouye, as head of | the Imperial Reservists’ Association, | instructed the 3,000,000 veterans to | be ready to form a second line of! national defense. All these men are subject to call from the War Ministry at any moment, either for Chinese or home service. They have had two years’ | active military training and now| are in one of the classes of reserves | —-first line, second line or home | defense.

Eyes of the world centered on darkening war clouds in the Far East as Japanese and Chinese armies were rushed toward Peiping, where a sham battle staged by the Nipponese armies flared into actual warfare. As 50,000 Chinese soldiers sped northward to the battle area, the Kwantung army, Japan's powerful military force in Manchukuo, was concentrated at Shanhaikwan, for movement by truck to Fengtai and Peiping. Warning Japan that this attack endangered peace in eastern Asia, China's Prime Minister Wang Chung Hui, left, demanded reparations and punishment of Japanese military officers. At Tokyo, Premier Fuminaro Konoye, shown right, met with military leaders to prepare for a

CLERGY AWAITS NAZIS’ REACTION

Catholic and Evangelical Manifestos Urge Unity Against Reich.

By United Press BERLIN, July 15.—Evangelisal and Roman Catholic churchmen awaited the Nazi Government's reaction today to manifestos read in | all pulpits—the Catholic one urging united action against “the antiChrist,” the Evangelical one imploring the Government to make an “honorable” peace with the church. The Catholic plea was one for | unity of Catholics and Protestants | alike in the church fight. Catholics were warned not to trust reports in German newspapers re-

tend. He sent a message to the | Governors urging co-operation with the Cabinet and national calm in a | tense situation, Reasons for the serious tone of the ministers’ statements were made | clear by a war office communique, ! which charged that China had long | been preparing for a crisis in the | north. It was asserted, presumably on the | basis of reports froran the efficient Japanese Army Secret Service, that China was massing men and | strengthening entrenchments in the trouble area.

New Incident at Peiping Reported

By United Press PEIPING, July 15.—Japanese army authorities charged today that Chinese soldiers had fired on a Japanese patrol at Tuanhotsun, 10 miles south of Peiping, and had killed a courier. This new and serious development occurred soon after Japanese sources asserted that North China officials had agreed to replace their troops in the Peiping area by men of the “peace preservition” force. Though these men are soldiers also, the Japanese suggested that this would comply with their demand for with- | drawal of the troops of the 29th | army who have fought sporadically | for days with Japanese. Chinese charged that the Japanese Army men had occupied a 16acre tract near Kongchuan village, | 10 miles southwest of Peiping, to use | it as an airdrome, promising to re- | munerate the owner, One war plane arrived at the field, it was added.

All Christians must stand together and not be diverted in the struggle against the antiChrist.”

Peace Ts Sought

Opposition pastors throughout the country read to big congregations in Evangelical churches a manifesto revealing that the conference of Lutheran church leaders had addressed a plea to the Government “finally to make an honorable peace | with the church, a peace that will serve the welfare of the nation as well as of congregations.” Pending the result of the appeal, opposition pastors were asked not to continue detailing the church distress. The manifesto ended with a request for pravers that the Government render unto God that which is God's, and for prayers for those still imprisoned. Dibelius said that two more pastors were arrested Saturday, one in was estimated that 34 pastors remained under arrest.
