FEARS IN PEKING
ATTACK BY RED NAPOLEON ANTICIPATED STRICT PRECAUTIONS TAKEN BY JAPANESE GUERILLAS ONLY FIVE MILES AWAY (Recd This Day, 12,15 a.m.) PEKIN, May 6. The city is on tiptoe from an apprehension that China’s Red Napoleon, General Chuteh, leader of the famous Communist Eighth Army, which taught China how to fight, is preparing to attack Pekin itself, which many of its I inhabitants are convinced will fall to the accomplished guerilla commander, who has seized a moment when the majority of the Japanese garrison has been ordered south to the sorely-strick-en Shantung front. General Chuteh has Pekin with his supporters. Against this action the Japanese garrison is taking precautions by closing the city gates, placing machineguns on the walle, and searching everyone in the streets, even searching coffins at funerals. Meanwhile heavy fighting is proceeding at Tungchow, 12 miles east of Peking, while plain-clothed Chinese guerrillas have entered villages five miles south-west of the city.
