Wu Pei Fu, the Central leader, had been killed in ‘The announcement has not been confirmed, The Foreign Lega- tions here are investigating The Feng Tien Army under Chang Tso-lin has, for the moment at least, successfully withstood the drive on Chang Sin Tien and stopped Gen, Wu Pei-Fu's movément toward Peking.

Chang's communications are threat- ened both front and rear, for Wu has thrown 40,000 troops against his right centre in an effort to cut the Peking- ‘Tientsin Railway, while Admira) Tu Shih-Kwei has notified the Nanking Consular body of his intention to cut the railway connecting the Peking- Ticntsin row! with Mukden, Gen, Chang's base. This railway is within the range of naval guns at Chin- wangtuo. At the eastern end of the battle front Gen, Wu is marching 20,000 troops toward Machang, one of the Feng ‘ieners' strongholds, where heavy fighting hag been in progress ‘tor three days. To-day’s advices to the American military attaches state that Gen. Wu's main army appears to be engaged in a drive toward Tientsin. Severe fighting has occurred along the Hun River, which indicates that units of Wu's forces are crossing the country from Paotingfu toward the northeast. Artillery firing is also reported to have opened along a wide front at Machang, south of Tientsin on the Pukow Ratlroad, where large forces of Chang's troops are concentrated under the command of the Manchur- May at Chinese action.
