NO PEACE IN CHARHAR
Despite Feng Yu Hsiang's Retirement
Peiping, Aug. 25. General Ho Ying Ching, Minister of War, telegraphed to- day to General Soong Cheh Yuan, Chairman of the Charhar Provin cial Government, stating that if Generals Fang Chen Wu and Chi Hung Chang refuse to give up their anti-Japanese command and to submit their troops for reorganization, they will be còn- sidered as rebels in the eyes of the Nanking Government.
In this event the two generals will be severely dealt with ac- cording to plan, It is believed that unless General Soong can persuade Generals Fang and Chi to relinquish their anti-Japanese activities, the Nanking military authorities will use force to sup- press them.
Chairman Soong is said to have opposed to
