N. CHINA'S FATE UNCERTAIN.

NANKING'S POLICY UNDETERMINED

JAPANESE ARMY WAITS FOR ORDER TO MARCH

Latest despatches from North China, from in- dependent sources, agree that considerable and disturb ing tension remains, that the Chinese Government has not yet made up its mind how to treat the latest Japanese demands and that, awaiting its decision, Japanese troops are massed along the Great Wall ready to march southwards.

The Charhar incident, concerned with the deten- tion for a few hours of four Japanese Special Service men, attached to the Kwantung Army, but dressed in civilian clothes, has been settled, it is reported.

Meanwhile, however, the conference of high Government authorities continues at Nanking. General Ho Ying-ching remains there. They are seek- ing some sort of formula which will save them from Japanese violence and at the same time preserve some semblance of dignity in surrender, it appears.
