GREAT WALL CROSSED
JAPANESE TROOPS SEVERE ATTACKS STAGED (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) SHANGHAI, March 21. , (Received March 21, at 8.30 p.m.) Crossing the Great Wall nine miles south-west of Hsifengkau and staging severe attacks in two directions, the Japanese succeeded in dislodging Chinese who had offered prolonged resistance at this important pass and interfered with the Japanese efforts to complete the occupation of Jehol. Mr Wang Clung Wei, the present executive of Yuan, addressing Central Government officials at a weekly memorial meeting, indicated the possibility of negotiations with Japan, but he emphasised the necessity of continued resistance until the proper time arrived for negotiation. However, the Nanking Government realises that such efforts are futile, and is now devoting considerable thought to the advisability of terminating hostilities speedily and enable the central authorities to consolidate their newly acquired power in North China as the result of the downfall of General Chang Hsueh-Liang.
