FRICTION ALLEGED
CHINESE PUPPET ARMY AND JAPANESE
(Recd. 10 p.m.) Chungking, Jan. 1. A communique says that friction arose between the Japanese and the Chinese “puppet” army near Peiping. Mediation efforts of the Puppet Premier, Wang Ching-wei, failed. Wang was summoned to Peiping to intervene between the Japanese troops and General Chi Hsien Yuan’s mercenary army to resist any Japanese attempt to disarm his men.
The communique added that the Japanese captured Yingshan, 60 miles eastward of Hankow. Fighting is still raging in the Tapieh mountains northward of the Yangtse River. Action shifted into hilly terrain, giving the Chinese troops some advantage, the Japanese losing more than 1000 men.
