JAPAN AGAIN EMPLOYS USUAL DELAYING TACTICS.

CHINESE DENY ALL KNOWLEDGE OF

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS

(THROUGH AKUTER'S AGENCY.)

SHANGHAI, January, 10.

WAR Clunds are still gathering in North China,

Following a report from Tokyo that in accordance with a Chi, ness proposal, negotiations are opening shortly for the settlement. of the Shaphaikwan incident, a Foreign Office spokesman, when Interviewed at a Nanking today, categorically denied the report, ke also denied that General Ho Chu Kuo will represent Chang Hadel Llang at the forthcoming negotiations taking place at £5kmobal»

kwan.

The spokesman stated: "In accordance with the usual delay. Ing tactics by the Japanese before they have fully concentrated their forces and in order to create a more favourable impression at the League meeting on January 16, the Japanese Military and Naval Commanders have been endeavouring to engagé la discus- sions with General Ho Chu Kro.

Gen. Ho's reply which has been conveyed to the Ministry of Foregn Affairs, is that all negotiations maat 'be made with the Central Government.

"Gen, Ho Cha Kuo indignantly repudiated the suggestion that the seizure of Shanhaikwan, which was accompanied by the slaughtering of several thousands of Chinese civilians, could be w considered a local affair."

JAPANESE ORDER SEIZURE OF CHIUMENKOW PASS

SHANGHAI, Jan. 10.

Tokyo messages give the follow. ing explanation of the new operarer tions contemplated by the Japan ese military:

"With the two-fold object of preventing the encirclement of the Japanese forces and of cutting off, thereby reducing their offensive powers, four of Chang Ha Liang's brigades in Easters Jehol, which are considered a menace to the Japanese lines of communica- tion, the Japanese are taking measures to occupy Chitumenkow Pass.

According to press despatches, the four brigades of Chang Hsueh Liang are believed to have entered Jehol a few miles to the north of Shanhaikwan, through this pass.

As a preliminary to the opera tions, a Japanese cavalry regiment from Chinchow is reported to have formed & junction with an infantry detachment from Shaphaikwan, near Shanhaikwan yesterday, and to have begun an advance in the direction of Chrucnenkow, where one of Chang's regiments is re- ported to be entrenched in the Pass."

(From Our Own Correspondent)

„CANTON, January 8. Thero has seemingly been great concern in local circles over the loss of Shaphaikwan and the ensuing situation in the North. Once again, terd have boon: released by Jocal: public bodies of every description, messages urging the despatch of Government forces to deal with the situation. The attacks on General Chang Hsuck Liang are most bitter, and he ia being blamed for every- thing that has happened, is taking place, or is likely to happen. Local opinion is unanimous that punish ment should be meted out to him se non-tremister, while spokesman of the local Government has indeed suggested that the only manner in which the Young Mar shal can now extricate himself honourably is to commit suicide. There is nevertheless some satisfac tion in Canten circles at the reports that General Ho Chu Kuo, who is Cantonale, has offered all the re- Mistance he Bould,
