KWANGSI ARMY UNLIKELY TO FIGHT ALONE
But Troops Continue To Mass on Border
KWANGTUNG FEARS BLOW FROM FUKIEN
Canton, June 15.
There is little belief here in the rumour that Kwangsi intends to fight against Nanking. Such a policy, if unsupported by Kwangtung, would be suicidal, it is felt in competent quarters.
Nevertheless, reports indicate that although the main forces of the Kwangsi and Kwangtung expeditions have withdrawn from Chenchow to Linchow, a large body of troops from the former province still remains in Yunchow, and support troops are moving, up from Kweilin.
It is generally agreed that Kwangtung has real grounds for apprehension due to the enormous bodies of Nanking soldiery moving southwards through Fukien and Kiangsi.
Only a few miles separated the Kwungtung and Nanking forces nt Fenshih, Fukien, where three divisions of northern troops arrived inst night, totalling about 80,000.
