(Extract from Chung Wa Man Po, Hongkong 21st Sept. 1926).

Condition of Combined Forces of the Krong Tung, Hunan

and Kwong Sai Alies.

They will join with Sun Chun Fong to take part in the war between Kiangai and Hengkung.

According to information from the front, of late the Kwong Tung, Kwongai and Hunan troops that have been warring with Kwong Tung have formed themselves into an alliance in order to carry out their project, and much attention has been aroused in various quarters. These allies consist of the troops of Ip Hoi Kan of Humany of Ma Tsai and Hon Taoi Fung of Kwongsi, and of Tae Man Ping, Chan Bau Taeuk and Lan Chi Luk of Kwong Tung; and Chiu Hang Tik has been appointed by election Commander in Chief of the allies of the 3 Provinces.

They have now been withdrawn from the front in Hunan

and Ilu-pah to Kiukiang in Kinagai so as to keep in communication with the reinforcements of Sun Chun Forg,

and are planning to extend their operations. They will

be wholly employed to help Kiangsi in its fight with

Kwong Tung, and their strength is fairly great. The

Kuomintang army bas during the past several days, trans-

ferred many men back to Chu Chan and Ping Heung in the

south of Human to resist them, and we can prophesy that

there will be a change in the present situation.
