TSO-LIN'S

The suggestion that Japan intends to establish a Protector- ate over Manchuria is seriously entertained in diplomatic circles in Peking, the opinion being based upon the declaration of policy issued by the Japanese Government to Marshals Chaug Tao-lin, Chiang Kai-shek, Feng Yu-hsiang and Yen Hsi-shan.

While the statement is couched in somewhat vague language, the Chinese are most suspicious of Japan's intentions, and foreign circles are inclined to believe the implication of the Protectorate exists.

Marshal Chang Tao-lin, it is stated, flatly refused to consider the Japanese suggestion.

Meanwhile, the Fengtien armies have opened their offensive against Marshal "Feng Yu-hsiang on the Peking Hankow Railway and have imposed a severe defeat on the Kuominchun

The Northerners have recaptured Paotingfu, a fact which is admitted by Nationalist circles, while a Peking message suggests that the Northerners operations are being directed by French officers.
