By the Associated Press. PEKING, September 9.—Strife-torn {China faces another reversal in its struggle for democratic expression. I The country is on the verge of an- other change in government which threatens to give the militarists com- plete control, according to members of President Li Yuan-Hung's cabinet. LI Yuan-Hung does not conceal his anxiety over the increasing power of the Tuchuns, or military govern- ors, who now admittedly control par- liament and rather than following the high sounding principles of self- effacement to which a number of ithem subscribed only a few weeks ago, they are enlarging their armies instead of disbanding them, are im- A wonderful collection of handsome mahogany man- tel clocks awaits your selection here—all worthy of ;’leitixlating the comings and goings of your house- old.

Military pressure is being exerted upon Peking, both from the north, where Chang Tso-Lin, former bandit chief and now military dictator of Manchuria, gains daily in military strength, and from the south, where Chen Chiung-Ming’s troops recently are giving evidence of lawlessness.

He has 100,000 Man- churian soldiers, well equipped and eager to march on Peking in support of orders Chang has sent to the capi- tal, accompanied by threats. Wu Pei-Fu still heads a vast army . ] Here’s Our Proposition- Westminster Chimes Clock, fitted with The popular tambour shape, in ma- five perfectly tuned rods, $75. hogany, $25. - Polychrome Boudoir Clocks, Special, $5 Mirror Hanging Clocks, 8 day, $15 to $75 Clock Bection, First floor.
