Shanghai, Feb. 8. After weeks of fruitless discus- sion and parleys the vanguards of the Government troops entered Stanfu yesterday afternoon, ac- cording to Chinese press reports.

The main forces, however, are the waiting at Lintung until Shensi provincial troops evacuate the capital.

This they are at present pre- paring to do in spite of yesterday's announcement that they are not withdrawing any further.

Evidently the Bhensi leaders are not prepared to resist the pressure of the Government forces, which is being continued, relentlessly Reuter.

E. WAUGH

WED AGAIN

Brilliant Satirist And Novelist

Mr. Evelyn Waugh, the novelist and brilliant satirist of the folbles of modern Mayfair and "bright" society, is to marry again.

His engagement to Laura, young- est daughter of the late Hon Aubrey Herbert and the Hon. Mrs. Aubrey Herbert, of Pixton Park Dulverton, was announced recently. His marriage to the Hon. Evelyn Gardner, which took place in 1928,

was dissolved in 1930.

In September of that year he into the Roman was received Catholic Church, the reception ceremony being performed at the Church of the Jesuit Fathers at Farm Street, Mayfair,

"His bride-to-be is a granddaugh- ter of the fourth Earl of Carnarvon, and descended on her mother's side from the tenth Earl of Wemyss. Mrs. Aubrey Herbert was received Into the Roman Catholic Church in 1925, two years after the death or her husband.

Mr. Waugh is 32, and his fancée Ls 20.

יי

He was hailed as a "discovery" when his novel. "Decline and Fall," left Mayfair gasping. By the time he was 20 he was famous, and he consolidated his position with "Vle Bodies" some years later.

He was awarded last year's Haw- thornden Prize with a blography of Edmund Campion, the Jesuit martyr. The prize is usually awarded for a novel, and this, the second biography to win, was Mr. Waugh's first attempt at historical

research

It was made known at that time that all the profits from the book
