NORTHERN ARMIES STILL RETREATING.
(United Press Assn.— By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received April 18, 11.30 a.m.) SHANGHAI, April 17. In view of the Southern advance in Southern Shantung, the Japanese are preparing to land marines at Tsing-tao for the defence of Tsin-an-fu. The Northerners allege that they are in retreat for the purpose of permitting Sun Chuan-fang to cut the Southerners’ rear, but foreign observers are highly sceptical of the Northern ability to withstand the present offensive.— United Service.
