(AP.) A force of 500 Japanese bluejackets was landed In Shanghai today and quartered In the Japanese cfttton mills In readiness for any emergency. Tha city itself was. quiet tonight with; chief Interest centering on the fate of Soochow, -where General Chang Tsung-chang has arrived and is busy strengthening the' position of northern troops against the Cantonese who have been steadily pressing on that city in the hone of cutting IHhe Shanghai-Nanking railway. Although military reports from the field, tonight werj vajue and conflicting, somo of the details strongly indicated that a resumption of the Cantonese pressure on Soochow had placed that city in a perilous position. It was reliably reported that the Can JAPAN NDS 500 ORS TO CHINA 1 Nanking railway has been suspended because pf the military concent atloii going on whereby the jntungese commanders hope to protect tills, their main artery of communication.

There appears to be no truth in yesterday's rumors of an understanding between Chang' Tsung-chang and General Chang Kai-shek, the Cantonese commander, These rumors were circulated in Kuomintang circles, left wing of the Cantonese, The rumor, was that the northern eolrimander had agreed to offer no opposition to the occupation of ShanghjU by the Cantonese. Notwithstanding every -judication that these rumors false, there seems no reason to doubt that the Nationalist political leaders are supporting their military campaign with propagandist and other -ndn-mllltary tactics within Shanghai to wrest the city from northern control. developing plans for a general strike to coincide with the next big military success, they are trying to deprive the northern adherents of their arms with a view to placing the city under Nationalists control andi groups of pickets are being organized for seizing arms with this purpose. A lively anti-milltarlst and anti-foreign is paralleling the prepara tions for a general strike. (Exclusive Control Dispatch to the the Tribune.) STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 9.

China Progressing The noted eductor mado contacts with many scholars, statesmen, soldiers and Industrial leaders of the Orient. He was imprssed particularly with the progress toward modern industrialized civilization being made by China, despite the present chaotic conditions there, he says.

One of the most important advances being made, he declares, is a new system of writing which reduces the number of characters from to 1,000, fostered by young Chinese intellectuals, many of whom received their education in the United States. This system can be learned, in fact mastered, in 90 hours. Changes Coming Suddenly "China is now, under the eyes of the world, going through changes not unlike those all mqdern governments have passed through, but she is having to meet these changes all at once," says Dr. Wilbur in com menting upon his Impreisaions of the' awakening Giant. "She is forced to face taree trying things at once.

First, she is chang ing her form of government; second, she is trying to adapt herself to the requirements that have been forced by science on modern civilization on all sides; third, she has to cope with the interference of the foreigner and his established This furnish a trying problem for any nation.
