CANTON

Kwong of Kwangsi, who remained loyal to the Central Government, and marched with a large force upon Canton. As this force approached the city the traitorous Tutuh and the Generalissimo fled, and on reaching Canton General Lung cancelled the declara- tion of independence, and gradually restored peace and order in the city, where much looting and some fighting had taken place prior to and for some time after his arrival. In 1916 when the troubles arose over Yuan Shih-kai's attempt to ascend the Dragon throne, Kwantung again declared its independence, but this did not prevent bloodshed. General Lung was denounced as a traitor to the Republic by General Shum who attacked Canton at the head of a large army. There was serious fighting and for a number of weeks all business was suspended. There was considerable destruction of property and much loss of life before matters were settled by General Lung's transference to another post. The political situation throughout 1917 and 1918 was very confused, and a Provisional Government was formed. There has been a complete severance of relations between the North and the South and spasmodic fighting and the constant movement of troops have seriously interfered with trade.
