Unruly Hankow Soldiers Nightly Raiding Wuchang Food Shops.

Marshal Chang Tso-lin, the former bandit who became war-lord of Munchuria, through his latest move of making himself general- issimo, has practically become dictator.

•

Head of the Navy as well as of the Army, he now has power to appoint the Premier and through him the whole Cabinet, which will be responsible to the Generalissimo.

According to reports received in Ichang, where General Yang Sen, of the Wanhsien incident, is in command, the city of Shasi has been looted. Ichang is still living in terror of a like fate.

The Hankow Party's troubles are still acute, the latest worry. being the depredations of returned soldiers who are nightly raiding food shops in Wuchang.
