A conflicting report is also observed in yesterday's local de

It now seems authentic that Yang Sen who arrived at Ichang on May 8, when the usual looting of the na tive elty was begun, has joined up with Wu Pei-fu.

It is stred that the claims of Southern victories in the Hankow press are not true, although north- ern troops are not advancing at the present time.
