In this connection, a report is current to the effect that the Rassians are feeling very uneasy about the future, and that some of

them are preparing to flee should the situation, take n definite turn against them. It is said that several of the Russians have already moved down to Whampoa, where steamship facilities would be available in case they needed to get away, whilst others are said to be taking the precaution to sleep on motor-boats in the river,

It is recalled, in connection with the above reports, that Wang Ching-wel, the Commander-in-Chief of the military forces in Canton, who is also commanding officer "of the Whampoa Cadets, has recently been emphatically denying the sag- gestion that the Russians are in control of the Government.

A report is also in circulation, to the effect that the cruiser Wing Fung (Dr. Sun Yat-sen's old #ag- ship), which is the biggest vessel in

the Canton naval flect, has left for Hainan, and that when seen steam ing out of the river it was noticed that she was not flying the Bolshevik flag. Ituls even said that the crew threw her Russian, com- mander overboard.
