BREAKING DOWN
NORTHERNERS’ RESISTANCE.
PEKING TO BE EVACUATED.
DISSENSION AMONG LEADERS
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN PRESS ASSOCIATION—(UNITED SERVICE.) Received 1.5 p.m. to-day. SHANGHAI, May 31. Reports from the north indicate that the Northern resistance is breaking down, and orders for a general retreat have been given. E'ollowing upon a conference of Northern leaders, Chang Tso Lin has decided to evacuate Peking, and its occupation by the Southerners in a few days is expected. This step was decided on following the capture of Paotingtu, the key city to Peking, after several days’ heavy lighting. Dissension among the Northern leaders is partly responsible for the dictator’s decision to evacuate.
