Peking Holds
Chinese Hope
Americans Endangered;
Intervention Likely
To Take Plac^
Tokio, May 14—(UP)—The Chi

ture of Peking and have decided to
name C. 0. Wu, now in Europe, min
ister to the United States, according
to reliable reports received here to
night.
Wan-Ohing-Wei will be named
minister to Groat Britain, it is re
ported.
The nationalists believe the cap
ture of Peking would result in the
powers giving the Nationalist gov
ernment recognition hitherto with
held.
Advices from Tsing Tao say at the
last military council which General
Chiang Kai-Shek attended, the Na
tionalists disclosed that they were
prepared to fight Japan in event
Japanese demands were unreason
able and they hoped they could count
upon the support of the United
States.
Americans Endangered
Washington, llfay 14—(U. P.)-—
With the drive of nationalists forces
nearing Tientsin where 8000 foreign
ers are centered—among them 900
Americana—it was said in official
quarters today the United States
would probably join other powers
in defense of them, instead of en
deavoring to evacuate Americans.
This defensive plan was followed
by the United States when Shang
hai fell before the nationalists in
March, 1927. At that time United
States marines were, cooperating
With British and French soldiers in
the defense of the international set
tlement.
Despite this view, however, it was
made clear that the marine, force of
11800 at Tientsin wonld operate' in
dependently of the other forces, not
becoming a part of the unified com
mand in defense of the city. It was
Snid that. United States marines afo
under strict orders to continue their
military activity to protect Ameri
can lives and property.
