The Outlook.
Peking, Jan. 18. Alost comments from abroad on the Chinese situation, appear to take it for granted that the Nationalists are to continue to nd- vance and will soon control Shang- hai, and probably all 'China.- This is by no means certain,
Sun Chuan-fang and Wu Pei-fu are at least holding their own against the South at present, while Chang Tso-lin has not yet entered the fray. Foreign military ment all state that Chang Tso-lin possesses much the best military machine jn} China, superior to the Cantonese in num- bers, munilions, training, equip. ment, staff, and organisation, hence if the, clash comes Chang Tso-lin cun casily defcat the Nationalists, úniess his men be- come disaffeeted by Bolshevist money.
Wu Pei-fu is still embarrassed with the disloyalty of suber- dinates, unless, he can speedily advance to the south. Fengtien troops are expected to participate, and Fengtien military circles claim that if they launch an at- tack they can capture Hankow within a month.-Reuter.
