The "Christian General's" milltary disposition still portends danger as he has enveloped Peking and is marching, with 30,000 men on Tientsin. Observers consider him to be the predominating power in North China at the moment. His prospects are enhanced by the fact that the Shansi leaders in Tientsin are believed to be friendly towards him.

More has been heard about the differences between the com- mander of the "Christian General's vanguard and the Diplomatic Body, The latter has protested to Nanking, whence the Nationalist Government has reiterated orders to abide by the u vrstanding with the Manchurian brigade which was trapped.
