[From Our Own Correspondent?

Canton, To-day. With heavy odds against him, General Chen Chi-tang, head of the Kwangtung Army and vir- tual ruler of the province, is reported to have left here yesterday afternoon by train for Hong Kong. A circular telegram announcing his re- tirement may be issued to-day.

People here welcome the impending retirement of Gener J Chen Chi-tang, because this means that the much-dreaded civil war will be averted In this event, General Yu Hon-mou will come to Canton to become Pacification Commissioner of Kwang- tang

It was rumoured yesterday afternoon that Mr. Chen Wai chow, brother of General Chen Chi-tang, popularly known as the power behind the throne, had been assassinated by his own body- guards. Circulated in banking circles, this report is not confirmed.
