A Surprise.

The inclusion of Tan Yen-kui in

the party of Hankow alliance- makers comes as a surprise. He is a personal friend of Chiang Kai- shek and, prior to the Kuomintang split, was chairman of the Nution- alist Political Council. Through | his being at Hankow when the Party quarrel reached a head. he has been "kept there," ostensibly siding with the Communists. Mr. Sun Fo, General Chang Hun-bui and General Tung Yen-ta are other heads in Hankow.
