Mah Accuses Officers. Gen. Mah also sent a message to Chang Chin-Hui, governor of the Harbin district, reports said, indicating | that he refused the truce terms of Gen. Honjo, Japanese commander, only be- cause he himself was unable to read them and his officers took advantage of Ji this by misinterpreting the meaning of Gen. Honjo's message. Gen. Mah, the report said, stated he would go per- sonally to Harbin soon to explain his position to the Japanese. The attitude of the Japanese govern- ment toward the League's efforts to reach a compromise plan on the sug- gestions advanced by Washintgon, London, Geneva, Paris, Canton and Nanking was that too many cooks are likely to Spoil the broth. The possi- bility of a commission of investigators who would visit China proper as well as Manchuria was rather looked upon with favor here, however, and it was be'ieved that in’ the end such a com- mission would bear out Tokio's original contention—that the dnly possible permanent solution of the Manchurian problem lies in direct negotiations be- tween China and Japan. Information received here indicated that the United States might be repre- sented on such a commission but whether it would be civil or military was not intimated. Japan feels, how- ver, the commission could do no harm and might do some good and that she can well afford to wait for a settlement, for two or three years if necessary. “We are anxious to restore our rela- tions with a government “but we are in no hurry to discuss the five points.

A Japanese charge that Russla is *partially responsible” for hostilities in Manchuria was_contained in_Japan's reply to an earlier note of Litvinoff, which complained that Japan was *manufacturing” rumors of Soviet in- Serference in the conflict. ‘The Japanese note declares that the Russian-owned Chinese Eastern Rail- way assisted in transporting Chinese troops to Tsitsihar and Anganche, ant it suggests that the Soviet governmen dssue a fresh statement declaring it is :g furnishing arms or munitions to Chinese.

Replacements on Way. A mixed Japanese brigade of replace- fments was said by Gen. Honjo's head- quarters to be due here tomorrow from Japan aboard six troop trains. It was explained officially that the mixed brigade which was rushed to Manchuria from Korea in the early days of the trouble will now be returned to their post as soon as possible. The former boy Emperor Hsuan Tung was said in reliable sources o be stay- ing at a resort near Liaoyang, on the South Manchurian Railway, about 50 miles south of Mukden. It was said that his whereabouts were known to only » few and that he was living quietly et a hotel at a place called Tang- kangtze. Japanese headquarters reported in a communique tonight that their air- plane observers had seen the defeated Chinese troops streaming toward Kos- han, but that the Japanese troops were mot pursuing much beyond Tsitsthar, being content to clean out the enemy ;r\‘:yn a 30-kilometer radius of that i Plan Civil Committee. It was sald that the Japanese intend %0 establish a Chinese civil committee to vern Tsitsihar, which while in- significant commercially, is the capital of Hellungkiang Province and the seat of the provisional government. Japanese field headquarters reported to Gen. Honjo that Russian employes of the Chinese Eastern Railway took no action during the fighting yesterday. There was still no news of Japanese ‘casualties in that battle, but a spokes- man said he believed they were at least s heavy as those sustained at the Non- i Bridge engagement. i FALL OF CITIES DENIED.

The figures on losses suffered by Jap- anese in the interior are unknown, but they are belleved to be great aside from the damages inflicted by bandits. Dur- ing the last 50 days, Japanese detach- ments have been dispatched to more than 60 points in efforts to protect the Chinese from their own marauding bands. (Copyright. 1931.)

Mah Chan-Shan to assist the Japanese menace.” ‘The Manchurian artillery, the war ministry said, has been stationed in the Hingan Mountains, in extreme North- west Manchuria, against possible Soviet border activities. This, it said, is now on the way to the Taonan-Anganchi area and some of it already has arrived at Anganchi. All of the 10,000 men in this force will enter the conflict against the Je anese, the war office said. It also said the troops in the Jehol area, a great district within the Great Wall north of Pelyln‘ and Tientsin and east of Mongolia, are answering Chang Hsueh- Liang’s call to the colors. These troops, it said, are moving northward, hoping to attack the Japa- nese from the southwest. REPORT UNCONFIRMED HERE. Dawes Has Not Committed U. S. to Action So Far as Is Known. By the Associated Press. Ambassador Dawes has not committed the United States to join in concerted international action to get Japan to withdraw its troops in Manchuria, so far as known here. ‘Undersecretary William R. Castle told newspaper men in the morning press conference that Secretary Stimson be- lieved the Manchurian situation is such that it should not be discussed officially at present.

Dawes is saying and doing percolates into League circles. Sessions Held in Secret. ‘The e's sessions thus far have all been secret, like Gen. Dawes’ con- versations, on the theory, which re- mains to be proved, that secret talks get results quicker and better than open dl&lomu:y. Gen. Dawes apparently has been dis- cussing with Mr. Matsudaira and Brit- ish Foreign Minister Sir John Simon points and proposals which the’ League discussed vainly weeks ago with Ken- kichi Yoshizawa, Japan's Ambassador to Paris and delegate to the League, but which, as ne Gen. Dawes nor Mr. Matsudaira nor Sir John was pres- ent at the previous negotiations, they ap] now wish to explore again. In the Council, Chairman Aristide Briand suggests that treaties having to do with security should be separated from treaties having to do with eco- nomic rights and that the two sets ould be considered tel; As and agreements, the work of sifting might, it is admitted, take a corps of able jurists some months. Sir John opposes separating the treaties and wants quick action of some sort, but he seems thus far to have made no definite proposal. Council Snubbed Openly. Mr. Yoshizawa yesterday openly snubbed the council, first by keeping it walting an hour and then by deliver- ing in the Japanese language a long, intransigeant statement, though he speaks both English and French. Dr. Alfred Sze, Chinese delegate, writes strong letters to Gen. Dawes and to the various members of the Council, Ee threatened hand by invoking articles 15 and 16 of the covenant in the near future. These articles involve the whole issue of sanctions. If they are invoked and are proved futile, 1t is assumed through- out Europe that the whole cause of peace and disarmament in any imme- diate future would be hopeless. But the peace of the world, which in the Geneva meetings loomed s0 large in the debates, seems to haye barely been mentioned in the feverish atmos- phere of Paris. In Paris it is as if a sort of League of Imperialisms has been suddenly formed against China and in favor of Japan. Unless Russia, half paralyzed as it is by the exigencies of the five-year plan, should unexpectedly intervene against Japan's violation of the Chi- nese rn Railway zone, the mili- tary phase of the Manchurian crisis may now be considered ended. With the taking of Tsitsihar, Japan's vic- tory is complete. The outcome, more- over, was never dubjous. The Japanese are now in possession of all three Manchurian capitals, Mukden, Kirin and Tsitsi- har, In each their procedure seems to have been the same. They have ousted Chinese officials, disarmed the Chinese policy and soldiery, seized public funds and institutions and put in new puppet Aid Elects New Secretary.

Having by these means obtained ef- fective mastery over Manchuria's three provinces and all its railroads save the Russian-controlled Chinese Eastern line, they appear to be in a position to dictate their own terms to China, on the one hand, and to the league and the United States, on the other. These terms now are broadly known. Before Japan withdraws her troops, China must agree to the “five funda- mental principles,” which Mr. Johi- zawa told the council yesterday -are really to be regarded as five heads of a chapter to be expounded more fully by the Japanese after direct negotiations have actually begun. Furthermore, before Japanese trooj can be withdrawn, China must not ly accept Japan's terms, but must give sufficient proof that it is able to enforce their observance, Mr. Y wa told M. Briand. Japan’s Five Points. Japan’s five points are as follows: 1. Mutual repudiation of aggressive policy and conduct. This sounds inno- cent, but the Chinese fear it means that Japan will refuse to allow an interna- tional inquiry to, fix the ibilities for events since September 18 and give to China the damages it claims. 2. Respect for China's territorial in- tegrity. Herein Japan modified the wording of the nine-power treaty, which pledges respect for China’s sovereignty and territorial and administrative in- tegrity. The Japanese admit they in- tend hereafter to exercise the veto right over Chinese governors appointed in Manchuria. This obviously means that, while Manchuria would remain Chinese in name, in fact it would be autonomous under indirect Japanese control. 3. Complete suppression of all or- ganized movements interfering with the freedom of trade and stirring up inter- national hatred. This would deprive China of the right to boycott, which is China’s only effective wedpon or means of defense against Japan. 4. Effective protection throughout Manchuria of all peaceful pursuits un- dertaken by Japanese subjects. This, according to the Japanese, means that the Chinese cannot hereafter expel Japanese settlers or merchants from certain districts on the pretext that China_plans to build a raflroad there. Thus Japan would have exclusive rights in the South Manchurian Raflway zone, but China would have no exclusive rights in the zone of any Chinese rail- ways in Manchuria, 5. ct for the treaty rights of Japan Manchuria. The treaties meant, Japan explains, are those of 1905, both known and secret, and those of 1915, or the famous 21 demands, re- garding which the United States at the time registered a strong protest. Russia may yet be heard from. China will probably be heard from loudly and at great length. And finally the League Council may yet rally around the cove- nant or the nine-power treaty in co- operation with the United States. The Manchurian peace conferénce has not yet begun. It is just about to begin. Xl_xfll be waged seemingly around the &0 lled five points. (Copyright, 1931.) DAWES' ACTIVITIES VEILED IN SILENCE State Department Has Noth- ing to Report About Paris Negotiations. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. China was a taboo subject at the State Department today. There are seemingly important negotiations going on between Gen. Dawes, representing the Secretary of State, in Paris and the | members of the Council of the League of Nations. What these conversations are naturally is a dead secret. Not even the occupation of the im- portant rallway junction Tsitsthar is | officially known at the State Depart- ment, although there are many Amer- ican official representatives in that dis- turbed area of the Far East. The State Department has been informed about the occupation only by press reports which are “undoubtedly correct.” At the end of the World War the statesmen of the world decided to abol- ish secret diplomacy because, they said. that system of international intercourse was one of the prineipal causes of war. Nelther the American nor the other governments has changed in any way that fundamental principle. Setret di- plomacy has been replaced by “confi- dential” diplomacy. Serious Problem Confronted. ‘There is no doubt that the world is confronted with a serious problem. No- body really bothers much to discuss the merits or demerits of the Japanese case in Manchuria. The main problem has been placed on the basis whether in the conflict between the League of Na- tions and the signatories of the Kellogg pact and the nine-power pact on the one side and the military which seems to be ruling Japan, the forces working for peaceful settlements or the military forces are going to come out on top. The world chancellories and espe- cially the American Department of has | State have so far used all possible means to persuade Japan to stop the military operations in China and dis- cuss with the helpless Chinese their various problems. Military Balks Face Saving. What really interested the League and the American Government was that the Japanese should cease their military operations and thus give the impression of having obeyed the League’s orders not to take any ag- gressive action for the settlement of a private dispute. According to reports from Paris, the members of the council were quite will- ing to accept the solution that the Japanese should keep their army in the occupled area under the name of “mil- itary police.” Dezpite assurances given by Jaj APACHE INDIAN’S CASE WILL GO TO GRAND JURY Is Said to Have Confessed Slaying Columbia U.

TSITSIHAR CAPITAL OF RICH FARM AREA City, However, Has Become Important as Railway Center. “Tsitsihar, around which Chinese and Japanese forces are skirmishing in Manchuria, is the capital of Heilung Kiang, largest of the three provinces of Manchuria, and the principal city in a vast, only partially developed area of rich farming and grazing land,” the ::tmml Geographic Soclety sald to- ilitary activity will be no mew sensation to the 35,000 inhabitants of this brown-walled city in the fertile valley of the Nonni River. Tsitsihar was built in 1692 to overawe marauding tribes of Mongols and Cossacks. “Later China sent many bandits into exile into Manchuria. The medley of native population groups in the vicin- ity of Tsitsihar forced the construction of huge barracks there and the detail of military units to the town, so that it has long had the aspect of a fortress. Becomes Railway Center. “Like every other important Man- churian city, Tsitsihar owes its present wealth and activity to railroads. When the Chinese Eastern Railway was built as a short cut between Chita and Viadivostok, Tsitsihar was & slovenly settlement of ramshackle buildings back of its crenelated walls. Builders of the Chinese Eastern missed the town by Ia; the line 18 miles to the south. ter, however, & mnarrow- gauge spur was built, connecun{nvuh from the Chinese Eastern at a stop only as Tsitsinar Station. “Tsitsihar has come into the present ‘misunderstanding,’ however, through 2 néw and extremely busy railroad line, constructed during the last decade northward from Taonanfu, through Anganchi, and crossing over the Chi- nese Eastern main line on a bridge at Tsitsthar Station, the junction point of the narrow-gauge line. This new line is Chinese-operated. and.-Japanese- owned from Taonanfu to Anganchi, and entirely Chinese owned and oper- ated from Anganchi to the city of Tsitsihar. “The new line does not end at Tsitsthar, but continues in a northeast direction for 79 miles to Taianchen. Eventually it will reach the Siberian border and will connect with a branch of the Transsiberian Railway at Blago- veshchensk. Greatly Modernized. “Few travelers visited isolated Tsit- sihar before the raliroad came. For a time those who did passed by coffins strewn outside the town walls—coffins of natives whose families were unable to pay burial expenses. Inside the walls the travelers saw a dingy pano- rama of dirty shacks lining unpaved and unlighted streets. “Railroads have changed all that. Today Tsitsthar is & busy town, greatly changed and improved by modern de- velopment. While it is neither as large nor modernized as the two other Manchurian provincial capitals, Muk- den and Kirin, Tsitsihar has several wide, paved streets, electric lights, tele- graph and telephone services. Tile- fed houses, with coats of bright paint, are rising where old shacks once s tood. “Since the new morth-south railroad has been added to the spur from the Chinese Eastern Railway, Tsitsihar is on the way to becoming one of the chief industrial centers of Manchuria. Mills are grinding out meal as fast as soy beans can be brought from Manchurian fields.
