counter-attack, when Li Tsung- ' yen issued orders that both sides should temporarily suspend fur- ther military movemento..

General Wu Ting-yang, repre- sentative of the Kwangsi leaders, told Nanking pressmen that the report regarding the recent out- |break of war in Kwangel wan. groundless. He pointed out that Wang · Shao-hung was in daily communications with Kwangal and that nothing was mentioned about the alleged fighting in the* wires.
