That General Chen Ming-ahu, a staunch supporter of Nanking is back directing these two famous divisions has been confirmed.
General Chen Ming-shu in a circular telegram dispatched from Kanchow, in southern Kiangai, stated that he was sup- pressing bandits and brigands, denying stoutly the general alle- gation that his return to his army was in connection with Chiang Kai-shek's expedition south to crush the Canton cause.
Situation Critical,
Mr. Wang Ching-wei, leader of the left faction of the Kuomin- tang, and a member of the National Council in Canton, in a telegram to General Chen Ming- Bhu, urged him to side with the Canton cause, If the object. of General Chen Ming-shu is really to suppress banditry and Com- munism in Kiangsi, as he said it was, according to Mr. Wang Ching-wei, then Canton is hearti ly in favour of it, for the Nation- al Government in Canton is equally against the Communists,
But if the former Governor of Kwangtung's object is to invade .the Province, the military authorities here will leave no stone unturned in resisting him.
The situation in Centon is be- coming critical and it is believed that there will be a clash between Northern and Southern troops before the end of the week,
