Position in North China Again Critical
JAPANESE DEMANDS TIENTSIN, Jan. 8. The situation in North China is again critical as a result of Japanese demands presented to Sung Cheh \uan, chairman of the Hopei Chahar Council, for the arrest, of fifty Chinese soldiers, who allegedly ransacked a Japanese store and hauled down the Japanese flag at Taku, the dismissal of the commander of the Chinese troops and other officials at Taku, the payment of compensation, the cessation of anti-Japan-ese activities, and a guarantee that there would be no recurrence. Chinese circles fear further demands will follow the shooting affray between Chinese and Japanese soldiers near one of the gates of Peking.

LONDON, Jan. 8,
Tho Times’ Peking correspondent says that Manchoukuo troops occupied six border districts at Chahar, tho cession of which was demanded by Japan. They are now pressing towards Sui Yuan, which tho Chinese expect to be the next field of tho Japanese expansion in view of the strategic importance of the province and its railway link with outer Mongolia.
