Angered by General Yen's ported action in pledging al- legiance to General Chiang Kai- shek, and his recent anti-Japanese attitude, the Japanese military authorities have pronounced him an "enemy of North China." The former Shanghai warlord is sold to be slated to succeed Mr. Lin Sen as Chairman of the Nanking Government but unless he gets this post he would appear to be out of the political picture.
