According to a Canton report, a section of the Chu-Mo Reds, who latterly filed to Woping district on the north-eastern border of Kwang tung from Wuichang, in Southern Kiangsi, are still staying there. Their main body is at Wuichang and those in Woping are said to number not more than a thousand.

The destination of the rowing" bands is still not known. While it is reported that they will push their way to Skatow, it is understood that they plan to re-visit Southern Fukic.
The Canon Government, besides having instructed the garrison troops in Northern and Eastern Kwangtang to attack them, has telegraphed to the authorities in Kiangsi and Fukien to make a joint attack upon the Reds.
