KWANGSI ARMY

NEEDS $700,000 MONTHLY FOR EXPENSE

:

Kwangsi . Expenditure for the Armies for the month of July and August was fixed by the Central Government at the sum of $500,000, monthly, the funds to be advanced by Kwangtung for the time being.

This

heaty expenditure was necessitated by the increased num- bers of troops that had to be sent to the province to dispose of the rebellious units of the old Kwangsi militarists, although the forces of the military clique have now been brought under control. The govern ment forces are still in the province, where they will be kept pending disbandment.

It is now reported that the Central Government has decided on the expenditure of $200,000, for each division per month, and since there are three divisions and one brigade,

monthly the

requirements of Kwangsi will total $700,000. Advices to this effect have been sent to General Li, the Special Officer, and the funde wil! be sent direct from the Central Government.-- Canton Gazette.
