Marshal Sun Chuan Fangs de fent was not the result of bad fight ing, according to a military expert, who has been watching the armies in the field, but again he was faced by the fact that treacherous generais rob him of victory, at the moment when he seems most certain of himself. In the fighting against the Chekiang Provincial Autonomy troops and the Nationalist Army coming from Kiangsi, Marshal Sun was altogether successful. He never faced that part of the Nationalist

Geaural Bei Bac Sao, upon whom Marshal Sun depended to protect his main attacking force, actually worked his way in the rear of the Nationalists and occupied Chu- chow. Local reports that General Bei did not reach Chuchow are erroneous. At that moment, when Marshal Sun expected him to attack and crush the enemy's rear, giving General Meng Chow Yu a free hand to smash their centre, General Bei declared that he was neutral and marched his army into Anhui,

At any rate, that is what he is said to have done and until General Dei is heard from co other explana- tion for his astonishing conduct is possible.

The Old Pelyang Politics." General Bei Bao San, Defence Commissioner at Haichow, was ori- ginally a follower of Chang Hsun. Like so many other Chang sun men, he fell into the camp of Feng Kuo Chang and eventually became subordinated to Li Esun and Chi Haich, Yuan, when they were Tu- chuhs at Nanking. His affiliations then have always been with the Peiyang Military Party and he must, therefore, at heart, be at variance with Feagtien. Whenever the Fei- yang Military Party, for one reason or another, allies itself to Fengtien, there is the possibility of treachery. Marshal Sun Chuan Fang does not beyond to the Peiyang nor even to the Chihli branch of that party of which General Bei Bao San is a member. He is a member of no group, having won his way to the tog by sheer hard fighting. To keep the support of Peiyang men, be has paid them well.
