CHANG TSUNG CHANG DETERMINES
TO FIGHT TO THE LAST.
Marshal Chiang Kai Shek has sent in his resignation to the Executive Council of the Nanking Government. It appears that the resignation has been accepted, so that Chiang Kai Shek is no longer Commander-in-Chief of the Nationalist Expedition against the North. The vernacular papers state that he retains his other. posta.
The reason Marshal Chiang Kai Shek gives for his action is that the expedition against the North has now been successful, the.

His task is therefore at an end. hand there are some who say that he is resigning through dis- appointment at the lack of unity among the Southern commanders. Sun Chuan Fang and Chang Tsung Chang are putting up a stubborn resistance against the Kuominchun near Tientsin..

CHIANG KAI SHEK RESIGNS.
(THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY.)
"
SHANGHAI, June 10tb. Chinese reports that Chiang Kai Shek has resigned are generally
believed to be correct. The oşten- sible reason is that the Nationalists have achieved their objective, Peking, and therefore Chiang Kai SHek's allotted task is ended.
It is understood that in fact the tempernmental Commander-in-Chief disheartened at the intrigues in the Nationalist ranks.

KUOMINCHUN BREACH OF FAITH.
RESPONSIBILITY OF DIPLOMATIC BODY.
"INSOLENT BEHAVIOUR OF SOUTHERN GENERAL.
GENERAL PAO YU LIN FORCED
TO HIDE IN PEKING.
A grave breach of faith has occurred in Peking on behalf of the Kuominchun leaders. The Northern General, Pao Ya Lia, re- mained in Peking at the request of the Diplomatic Body, in order to see that no disturbances occurred in Peking during the period before the Southerners took command.
The Diplomatic Body obtained a promise from the Nanking Government that, on the entry of their forces, General Pao Yu Lin should be allowed to leave the city unmolested. Actually, however, he had only proceeded 14 miles when he was molested by one of Feng's subordinate Generals, Han Fu Chu.
Pao Ya Lin was greatly outnumbered and finally compelled to surrender. The Diplomatic Body, however, being instrumental in retaining him in Peking, considered that bis safe retreat was their responsibility. But though they held a lengthy interview with Han Fu Chit, they met with nothing but rudeness and insolence. Two strongly worded notes have been sent to Nanking, but Pao Yu Lin, still has to remain in hiding.
