The Position To-day.
[A tributary of the Yangtae, the Han River runs in a south easterly direction from the Chris- tian general's domains in Shensi
province down to Hankow.
When General Yang Sen began his latest offensive about three weeks ago, he was marching down the Han River, it is believed, to join hands with Marshal Wu Pei- | fu, his erstwhile chief.
Then Yang Sen surprisingly sprang across the Yangtse and bobbed up to the south of Wu- chang with some other troops. His last march on the capital of the Communists was stayed by the opposition.
After a Silence. Nothing more was heard of Yang Sen for some days. Now comes the report that anti-Red troops are coming down the Han River again. The only conclusion that can be reached is that this body of soldiers constitute Yang Sen's original army, and that, after a rest, it is continuing its move down to Hankow.
