Shanghai, Saturday.
It is most unlikely that the situation in the North wit be de- finitely settled in favour of peace as a consequence of Marshal Yen Hai- shan's retirement. Yen's decision to retire is prompted by the fact that General Chang Hsuch-liang, the Manchurian war lord, has openly refused to extend to him a helping hand against Nanking, แง เลย evident in his circular telegram recently lastad, advocating peace and sealing troops Into the Great Wall to back his suggestion.
The defection of Han Fu-chu and Shi Yu-san (Honan Generals sup- porting Yen), however, is not re- garded as a very serious blow to the anti-Nanking alliance, because they have not really turned their alleg lance to Nanking at heart, although
