BY THE JAPANESE

nounced the immediate acceptance
of the League of Nations’ proposal
for the establishing of a neutral
zone in Manchuria between Chin
ese and Japanese forces.
Marshal Chang Heuseh Liang,

the Chinese are massing troops in
southwest Manchuria, between
Chin Chow and Tahu Shan while
the Japanese have not almost com
pletely withdrawn from this recent
danger zone.
The Chinese, the uuotficial

tiring and are taking over the
areas as evacuated.
