SHANGHAI. March 21. A telegram was dispatched to Nanking on March 20 by a num- ber of subordinates of General Pei Chung Hai, including General Li Bin Hsin, Liao Lei Liu Chun Yung. Wen Chich, Hsueh Yu Bin. Wei Yun Chung, Wei Chen Fan, and Lo Chi Kang, anouncing the severance of their connection with General Pei and their support to the Central Government.
Amongst the reasons for this ac tion the telegram mentions that Péi Chung Hsi discards those whose views differ from assuming control of their troops and appropriating their sqüecte. He despises any ad- vanced revolutionary and adopts a superior attitude towards his other generals, He scorns the discipline of the Party and is hated by the public at large. He plots against the Government with the Wuhan rebels, thus lowering the dignity of the Central Government, and by his schemes in Peking and Tientsin erentes "disturbances in the North. In fact, his crimes are too numerous to mention.
The telegram concludes by re- affirming the loyalty of the sendera to the Central Government and ex- presses & hope that the Govern ment will issue an order for General. Pei Chung Hai's punishment.
