Dr. C. C. Wu, Nanking's Foreign Minister, has gone to Kiu kiang to attend a preliminary conference, in preparation for an impending conference between Nanking and Bankow leaders.

Chiang Kai Shek has telegraphed his regrets" to the Nan- king Government "for his inability to complete the Revolutionary Expedition." He says nothing about returning to the fold. His return would, of course, mean the instantaneous withdrawal of the Hankow troops from co-operation with the defented Manking troops. The Kuomintang is evidently in a deplorable fix.

For some unexplained reason, martial law has been declared in the Shanghai French Concession. It is interesting to note that the Chinese military authorities in the adjoining Native. City immediately followed suit, "ordering strict military vigilance over all strategic points"
