NORTHERN CHINESE FORM AN ANTI-

JAPANESE ASSOCIATION.

SEQUEL TO A RECENT INCIDENT AT TSINGTAO.

GENERAL CHIANG LEAVES PUKOW FOR THE NORTH:

GERMAN STEAMER SEARCHED BY CHINESE AT WOOSUNG,

NORTHERNERS SERIOUSLY CONCERNED AS TO SOUTHERNERS' ADVANCE.

The local vernacular Press report that Peking and Tientsin Chinese are so incensed regarding the recent fracas between Japanese marines and Chinese, police at Tsingtao, that they are organising an anti-Japanese Association, the object of which, it appears, is to direct the boycotting of Japanese goods and to support the Peking Government in their efforts to abolish the unequal Sino-Japanese Treaty and other Japaness special, privileges in China."

There are many indications that hostilities in Shantung, between the North and the South, are being engaged in more vigorously than ever.

The peace negotiations at Peking seem to have been a sort of camouflage on the part of the. South to enable Feng Yu Hsining to get into action.

The Northerners are evidently felly aware of the formidable opposition they now have to contend against, in the addition to the South's ranks by the advent of Feng's troops and those from Shansi provinca.

Some lively encounters may confidently be anticipated in Shan- -tung and Chili, unless, of course, another inexplicable armistice puts a stop of the wariare

He also requested that Marshal Chiang stack the Shantung überior simultaneously.

Chinese in Peking and Tigatsin, very indignant at the Japanese marines' recent conduct "at Taing tao, are organising an anti-Japanese Association as a means of directing the boycotting of Japanese goods and are supporting the Peking Government in their efforts to abolish the unequal Sino-Japanese Treaty and other Japanese special V.. privileges in China."

General Chiang Kai Shek, started his journey on the morning of the 23th inst. from Pukow to Hauchow with a large bodyguard, and his

staff. He will inspect all troops stationed along the Tientsin- Pukow Railway,
