BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. ‘fhe Japanese irvasion of Jehol, the rich province between Manchukuo and China proper, is causing the gravest concern to the State Department. According to news received today. fighting_has been going on for two days between regular Chinese troops “Washington and the Japanese. This fighting has for the time being the character of adianced guard skirmishes wever, it is understood that Mar- shal Chang Hseuh Liang is rushing treops from =11 parts of Northern China under his control. while the Japanese intend to send two divisions, Will Resist Drive. According to reports from Peiping. the Chinese intend to resist the Japanese invasion. and while it is unlikely that the Chinese troops will be able to re- sist for long the Chinese intend, in case of defeat, to carry on with their usual boycott and guerilla warfare. The American Government is gravely concerned about this invasion. because it is considered another breach of the Kcllogg-Briand pact and of the nine power pact. For the time being no definite policy to be followed by this country has been @ecided upon, but it is believed in well informed quarters that the Government of the United States will adopt the same dactics as last January. when the Japa- gose completed the occupation of Man- L3 That is. the State Department will s<ie again a note to Japan drawing ariontion to the fact that Japan's ac- Ricns in China are .n flagrant contra- diction with the solemn engegements ken in 1922 and in 1928 and that merica will not tolerate any interfer- nce with the policy of the open door. Tt is likely that the League of Nations will be again asked to take some sort ®f an action. Action No Surprise. Whether Japan will be impressed with the new protest of the United States nd whatever measures the League may t:.x« remains to be seen In certain well informed quarters the Japanese action in Jehol has not come as a surprise. It was said for many months that if the Japanese want to consolidate the new state of Manchukuo they must take Jehol, which forms the natural boundary be- tween Manchuria and China On the other hand. Jehol is the Fichest province of Northern China on account of the opium trade. As long 8s the Chinese warlords have access to the vast sources of income derived from the opium trade in Jehol they will always be able to foment trouble $n Manchukuo Take First Provocation. For these reasons the Japanese gov- ernment has taken advantage of the first provocation of the Chinese—the kidnaping of a Japanese official who went into that province on an opium mission—and are doing at present what they did last Winter with Manchuria. The belief of certain authorities in Washington that the Japanese intend going further and occupy Peiping and Tientsin is discounted in official quar- ters. Although Tokio shows a deep con- tempt to the representations of the foreign powers regarding the Japanese activities in the Far East, it is con- sidered here most unlikely that the Japanese would want to get entangled With those nations which have import- #nt interest in Peiping and Tientsin Furthermore, the Japanese have no smbitions to enter China prover. If they can establish a final boundary for the new state of Manchukuo and extend their influence as far as the Chinese Wall. they will be satisfied. The Japanese have just managed to et out of the entanglement caused by heir desire to occupy Shanghai. and mre certainly not prepared, it is stated. to risk another adventure of this kind Bgain. i COLORED MAN SOUGHT Police were scarching today for an ®nidentificd colored man who _strick Foward Butler, 41. of the 1600 block ©f Gales street northeast, on the head with a half-gallon glass jar late ves- terday, inflicting serious cuts.
