There was a large gathering at the Chamber of Commerce meet-ties amongst the ollicers, crew or ing held at St. Andrew's lall, City Hall, when Mr. D. G. M. Bernard (Chairman) proposed that Mr. J.

THE WAR PUZZLE.

HANKOW NATIONALISTS

POSITION.

Hankow, May 7,

And

Nationalist officials at Hankow etate that within three months their forces will be in Peking.. Word comes from Peking that within two months the Northern forces will be in Hankow. the Shanghai diyislon of the Na- tionalist group states that in the "near future" they will have captured all China. "You." "pays your money and you takes your choice."

However, it appears probable that within three months the Nationalist forces at Hankow will be at Chengchow, Honan, just this aide of the Yellow River, on the intersection of the Lunghai Railway.

This is the strategic point which they must capture, else their revolution comes to an igno- minious end. Whether from that point they will be able to carry on and capture Peking remains to be seen.

The Crux of the Situation.

Wuhsinkuan Pass, a tunnel on the Peking-Hankow Railway, is naturally the most important point of all upon which the Southerners must maintain their hold. This is in their possession now. They have advanced on the railway half the distance through the province of Honan and they profess to be confident that they will advance the rest of the distance to the edge of the Yellow River.
