REALLY DECISIVE BATTLES EXPECTED SHORTLY.
Nanking's Forces Not To Advance Against Peking at Present.
Two sensational developments are reported from the North to day. For General Chiang Kai-shek, Peking can now wait. The Nanking leader has decided to make an immediate attack against Hankow, feeling this is the more urgent need.
Meanwhile Hankow has taken steps to meet the new menace." The Reds' answer is a strong new alliance with the "Christian Gen- eral" in supreme command. With a clash Impending decisive battles are expected to follow.

Wireless messages this week indicated that, General Chiang Kai-shek's 1st Army had been pushing back the 6th (Hunanese) Army which was loyal to Hankow. Perhaps this drive may have forced Chu Pei-teh to forsake Hankow for Nanking, but he is more likely to hold his present territory for Nanking rather than start an attack on Hankow.
