SURVEY OF THE WAR SITUATION.
THE CHINA-MAIL.
Mr. Rodney Gilbert writes from Peking on November 23 to the "N.-C. Daily News":-
A high military authority who has just returned from the Tien- tsin" Conferences, gives the folk; lowing survey of the situation:-
The militarists were not at all) interested over the Cabinet situa-I tion in Peking, and scarcely touched upon it, while the efforts. of Chin Yun-peng and Liang Shih-yi to win the premiership were given almost no attention at all, the result being that Dr. Wellington Koo's régime is likely to last some months longer if the incumbents are willing to carry

GEN. CHANG'S PROMINENCE
IN CHINA..
The Fenghwa correspondent of the "Shanghai Times" writes on. Nov. 19:-
The Hangchow insurrection of last month caused little excite- ment amongst the country people of this district. In the city de- monstrations were held against Marshal Sun Chuan-fang. These were rather premature."" and as a consequence liber of arrests haze been made and persons, who gave voice to their feelings, now have leisure to think over their actions in the rather uncongenial sur- roundings of the jail.

Some stir was caused by the arrest of several young students who spoke unadvisedly, "and the popular opinion is that the au- thorities were too harsh in their [treatment, and should rather have sought out those responsible for inculeating such sentiments in the boys' minds.
There is much sympathy with General Chang Kai-shek owing to his being a Fenghwa man, and the people are proud that a local man should attain such promin- | ence in China. One man was heard to express the opinion that
all the best jobs were in the hands of Northern men who took the wealth out of the province." Fle overlooked the fact that a large number, of Fenghwa men hold" important official positions in Canton and no doubt a good deal of Canton money finds its way to this province,
