DEMORALISED ARMY
NORTHERN CHINESE IN FLIGHT A GRAVE SITUATION (United. P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian Press Association) SHANGHAI, Sunday. A possible double danger in the present situation may arise out of the demoralised state of the Northern troops. The majority of the missionaries have evacuated to Tsingtao. A most significant report comes from the battlefront that Chang Chung Chang the military governor of Shantung, who is commanding the defeated Northern Forces, has sent his family to Tsingtao and has deposited 7,000,000 dollars in foreign hanks in preparation for a flight. A million shantung residents are reported to be dying from starvation. The foreigners in Tsinanfu are evacuating on Consular orders, and hastening to Tsingtao. The latest war dispaU-es state that the South tiers are following up their earlier successes, and although they hr not yet red Tsinanfu, reports indicate that the capture is inevitable. The vanguard of the Japanese mixed brigade is preparing defences.
