TRUCE NOT FINAL
DIFFICULTY IN NEGOTIATIONS
PEKING READY FOR WORST
Peking, May 23. It is reliably reported that] that truce negotiations is not proceeding smoothly and a complete breaking down is possible. The Chinese military authorities are now preparing for eventualities.
It is learned that the nearness of the Japanese troops to Priping has caused them to make demands which the Northern leaders can- not stomach. If the agreement
is not reached, desperate fighting
is likely to break out in the vici- nity of Peiping.
DEFENCE PREPATIONS.
At present defence preparatlons outside Peking City are being ra pidly made.
Pelping is being swarmed with troops and a back-to-the-Wall atti- tude prevails,
The stiffening of the Japanese attitude is enusing anxiety that nerious developments may occur any moment.
