ROAD TO PEKIN OPEN TO SOUTH CHINA ARMY NOW.
NORTHERNERS RETREAT; NATIONALISTS ENTER CITY OF TESINAN, (United Press Assn.— By Electric Telegraph.— Copyright.) (Received May 2. 10.45 a m.) TOKIO, May 1. Reliable Pekin advices state that th# South China Nationalist forces entered Tsinan-fu unopposed on Tuesday morning, indicating that the route to Pekin is now virtually opened and possibly foreshadowing the retreat of the Generalissimo of the Northern forces, Chang Tso-lin from Pekin to Mukden.
It is stated that the majority of the Shangtung troops evacuated Tsinan on Monday and are retreating to the north of the Yellow River, leaving only police units in Tupan, which General Chang Chung-chang, of Shantung, remained to command, but there are no reports of Chang Chung-chang having been captured. Official advices state that Japanese troops guarding the Japanese Quarter in Tsinan shot and killed one of 300 of a Shantung rabble which was attempting to loot a Japanese shop.— United Service.
