The charges named by the Cen- tral Kuomintang against Marshal. Feng include an allegation that he accepta monthly five million roubles and arms from Russia, and has signed a secret treaty with the Soviet-Reuter.

Interest during the past week has centred on the clash of arms between. Kwanglung and Kwangsi at the bidding of Marshal Chiang Kai-shek. On several occasions Canton has been in peril of capture, but up to the time of going to press it was still intact although there has been a general ́exodus of official and civilians, to the safe haven of Hong Kong. Thanks to a full and varied new service, foreign and vernacu lar, the full story of the war can be viewed from various angles in the "Overland China Mail."*:
In the North the long feared rupture between Marshal Chiang Kai-shek and Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang has come to a head. The former has already established a censorship over Feng's telegrams and has ordered his divisional Commanders to prepare for a gefieral attack. The story is well told in. chronological order in the columns of the "Overland China Mail."
Locally intense interest has been taken in the suit brought by the Treasury against the Hong Kong, and Shanghai Banking Corporation. The daily proceedings are well reported, and the jury's verdict is given, together with its later sequel legal argument on the Treasury' formal application for judg- ment in its favour.
Other local news is served up in an interesting manner. including the two days race meeting, League tennis results and the progress of the Lawn Bowls League,
