NORTHERN CHINA
FUTURE IN THE BALANCE.
, (Press Association. —Copyright.) (Received 8.50 a.m.) Shanghai, May 22. The next few days will probably settle the future of North China, where fighting continues in a desultory manner. The Japanese are reported to be unwilling to countenance any peace offers unless officially coming from the military commanders. The Chinese meanwhile are reported to be carrying out a steady withdrawal of troops from Peking, Hankow, Tientsin, and the Pukow railway lines, indicating their readiness to fulfil the first requisite stipulation by the Japanese.
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS FAIL.
CHINESE PREFER TO FIGHT. (Press Association. —Copyright.) (Received 11.20 a.m.) Peking, May 22. It is widely reported that the SinoJapanese truce negotiations have broken down, as the Chinese prefer to fight rather than swallow the Japanese demands. Foreign military observers now predict that Peking is likely to become the next battleground. Japanese cavalry patrols penetrated to within three miles of Tung Chow, which is only thirty miles eastward of Peking.
