In Most Appropriate Manner
(By the Associated Press)
Where the Liao river winds
across the frozen plains of Man
churia there was no Christmas ere
goodwill and peace last night.
Columns of Japanese troops;
clad In heavy winter uniforms
augmented by goatskin coats and
great goatskin hoods, pressed
forward under orders to sweep
100.000 Chinese "bandits" from
the area west of the Liao.
At one point Chinese artillery
churned up the Ice that would
have served as a convenient
bridge for the attackers.
It was not yet apparent wheth
er the long-heralded drive on
Chinchow was under way, for the
operations along the Liao were
kept as a military secret by the
Japanese bands.
See no Difference
In Bandits, Soldiers
While the columns of soldiers
marched forward in the cold, the
negotiations of the diplomats con
tinued. In response to "expressions of
apprehension" from -the United
States, France and Great Britain.
Japan will declare Informal notes
to the three governments tomor
row that there is little difference
between Chinese bandits and reg
ular troops in the Chinchow area
of Manchuria.
A memorandum Indicating re
newed concern about the develop
ments at Chinchow was presented
to Premier Inukal by American
Ambassador Forbes yesterday.
In the memorandum Secretary
of State Stimson mentioped trea
ties in general, but did not spec!
fy the nine power pact, which
China contends Japag has, violat
ed by aggression.
Japanese Winners"
In Minor Clashes
Chinese artillery broke up the
ice on the Liao river near Tient
Chuangtaln to prevent the Jap
anese from reinforcing their bat
talion there. Spirited fighting was
going on.
In two other minor clashes the
Chinese were bested by Japanese
regulars.
Nationalist leaders In Nanking
sent a telegram to former Presi
dent Chiang Kai-Shek, who gave
up politics and went back to his
farm the other day, asking Dim

new government.
