MANCHUKUO FORCES PREF ARE TO MOVE

KALGAN OFFICERS SEE CRITICAL SITUATION

Peiping, Feb. 7.

Chinese reports from Kalgan state that 6,000 Manchukuo and Mongolia troops, who occupied the six counties of Charhar in December, are now preparing to invade Suiyuan province.

Their alleged purpose is to add Ove more districts to the area under their control.

The Manchukuo troops are commanded by General Li Shou-hain and their Mongol allies by Tao Shih-hai, who recent- ly established an independent regime in the captured Charhar counties.

At the time of the occupation of the Charhur area in mid- December, it was revealed at a conference, at Tientsin between the Japanese representative, General Kenji Dolhara, and mem- bers of the Hopei-Charhar Political Council, that the Japanese insisted that Manchukuo and Mongolian troops should garrison the six Charhar districts seized. They comprise an area of about 40,000 square miles,

These districts are in the north of the province, but the Chinese con tended that their control by Man- chukuean and Mongolian troops would put foreign militarists in a position

to seize Kalgan at any moment. Futhermore, the districts to the south were barren, and mountainous, and mt desired by the invaders, Chinese contended.

WORKING WITHIN THREE MILES OF MAKALE

Dessiye, Feb. 6. Confirmation of the Ethiopians', claim of a great victory in the Tembien district, where heavy fighting has been proceeding for the past fortnight, was given to-day by Dr. Brophil, an Irish volunteer ambulance worker. After working with his unit three miles from Makale, which was then besieged by the Ethiopians, he reached here after a fifteen days' mule journey.

Dr. Brophil, who is the first white man to return from the northern front, told a vivid story of the difficulties under which the British ambulance workers struggle. They were all in good health, he said, but needed supplies badly.

For the last two months they had had no mail or tobucco, no milk and no salt. They were working at high pressure and dealing with an average of one hundred seriously wounded eases-daily
