RISING
LSMEDIATOR?
Chetoo, Yesterday. It is rumoured that Chang Taung-chang (one of the Northern "diehards" and sometime Tupan of Shantung) is behind the movement against General Liu Chen-nien, the present holder of Chafoo and the east of Shantung.
The American Consul has offer- ed to act as mediator between the opposing factions.
It is expected that General Liu will make a stand on a line five
miles east of Chefoo, his opponents being about ten miles away. Bri-

Sir Esme added: "It would seem there is every reason to believe that now the bill has been enacted, fur- ther efforts will be made before long to reach an agreement between the principal naval Powers of the world for limitation of naval armament."
"Might Be Postponed"
It is learned at the State Depart- ment that Mr. F. B. Kellogg (Secret- ary of State) has received no in- timation officially in regard to dis- armament from London; also that the American Government is willing to advance the date of the 1981 con- ference from August to January or February if the majority of the Powers concerned desired auch a Sir Eame expressed the opinion change-Reuter's American Sar- that everything pointed towards vice.
The British ambassador added that the General Election in Bri- tain might, however, postpone any such discussion for some months. |
