General Pel, in reply to the ques- tion whether he would proceed to Nanking to assume his duties or go abroad as was reported, said that he had cherished for nearly ten years the hope that he would some day go abroad to study the military conditions g! various countries of the world.

"Would you visit the Capital Arst before going abroad?" asked our représentative.

Chien to fly to Canton, General Pel teplied that he would very much like to do so, but as General. Li Tsung-jen was mostly absent from the province, he had to see to the reorganisation of the forces.
