Great HoSl of Chinese is Starving Con I i mud Glorious Philandering Done by Gilbert in Marlow Film swiftly uud energetically to suppress nil uprising In the province Shantung, the first real test ol China's unity since the Nationalists cumo into power Nanking. Three thousand soldiers of the foimer Peking regime, recently Incorporated into the Nationalist army, formed nucleus of a movement, seeking to establish au independent zone from the north coast ot Shantung province.

Coincident with this development, the movements of two powerful military figures, Gen. Feng U-Hsiang, the overlord ot Ilonan province and Gen. Chang Tsung-Chnng, deposed dictator of Shantung, are arousing anxiety. 1'cng Again General Feng, once Uuovvii as tho "Christian general," is reported to bo massing 30,000 troops in western Shantung. It is presumed 111 some well-informed quarters hero that his purpose has hcen to scizo Shantung in the event of its evacuation by tha Japanese.

This report has inspired myriad minors that General Fong intends to sever all allegiance the Nanking government and to cbtab- lish his authority independently in Shantung, after ousting both the- Nationalists and revoltera. Shanghai's most competent authorities on Far Eastern politics see ono aspect of particular seriousness In the present situation Its effect, they believe, cannot help but be injurious" to negotiations seeking a settlement of tho Shantung question. Emissaries of General Chang are reported to have arrived at Chefoo and to have sought in vain to undermine the loyalty of tho Nationalist commander. The American consul at Cliefoo, Leroy Webber, informed the United States legation at Peking that the rebel ranks thus far consisted of both regular troops and brigands. Ho said that they were advancing on Chefoo apparently with the intention of looting.

Ho saw no evidence of anti-foreign activity, he said, but lelt that naval protection might become necessary. IVo IT. S.

Reports available here indicated that tho Nationalist foiceb defending Chefoo and the eastern part of Shantung have shown no inclination to join the revolt on llio other hand tho Nationalist government has sometimes shown signs of grave concern regarding the loyalty of its troops In rase of an cmeigcncy.

General Chang known to havo raised claims to tho old five-barred flag of the republic as his own personal banner. SrNsIonnrlcs JJCHTO Few direct and dependable dispatches are received from Shantung, owing to the complete interruption of communications.
