Elaborate Entourage, “
A foreign hotel-the Grand Hotel de Pekin-was the residence and the conference room of all three leaders, and did a greater business in a few, wecks than it has done for the previous year. For the mili- tary leaders travel in style, and spend money freely."
The most elaborate entourage was certainly that of the Young Marshal." heir to the overlord-ship of Manchuria. Chang Hsueh Liang travelled to Peping like £ raya! prince. He was preceded into the city by a long train Elled with smart troope, his personal body guard. These jaunty soldiers lined the streets from the station to the Photel, and Marshal Chang rode through their ranks in an armoured automchile, which he has used during his stay in the city,
Marshal Yen and General Chiang also had a trainload of bodyguards, and an array of interpreters and clerks. Marshal Chang reserved tor himself a suite of 33 rooms in the hotel, while General Chiang bad an entire floor.
