Shanghai, May 17. Much distress has arisen at Taluanfa cunsequent upon the re- cent Sino-Japanese clashes, and it 80,000 poor people have lost their homes and cgcupations, and are on The verge of starvation, according to reparts from Chinese sources.
Chang Tso-lin declares that he has unquestionable evidence that Feng Yu-hsiang has sent agents to stir up anti-foreignism. Chang's commanders therefore have de- cided that an expedition is neces- sary in order to complete the camp afgn against the communists wilk whom Feng is lengued.
With the exception of Feng Yu- hsfang, Chang Tso-lin expresses a willingness to come to terms with all opponents.
It is considered. in Peking that the main purpage of the mandate is to put heart into the troops and come off, except as a that it is unlikely that the expedi tion will counter attack to cover the Fengtien retreat into Manchuria.-Reuter.
