FEARS OF BIG COUP AT HANKOW.

(Continued from Page 1.)

latest decision of the Nationalist, military authorities, the force now commanded by Li Chung-jen in the North will form the entire 7th. army, while the force under Gen- eral Wang Shao-hung in the South will be organized into a new army with General Wang as chief com- mander. The now Kwangsi army in the south will like most other Nationalist armies, consist of three divisions.

The 4th and 5th brigades which have been seat up to the Hunan front will be organized into a divi sion. The 5th and 6th. brigades, which are also coming down to Canton to join the Hunan expedi- tion, will form another division. The other division will be formed by the 3rd brigade, now in Kwang- si, together with the cadets of the Nanking Military Academy.

General Wang estimates the new army to he something like 20,000 strong.

The first mentioned two divi- sions will take part in the Hunan expedition, while the others will be entrusted with the defence of Kwangsi.

Planes för Nanking.

The Army Headquarters in Cantoh has received instructions from Marshal Chiang Kai-shek to the effect that the aeroplanes in Canton should all be sent up to Nanking for service in the coming campaign against Shantung and CHINI.

Upon receipt of these instruc-. tions, General Li Chai-sum ordered the Canton Aviation Bureau to leave a necessary air force for Human and Kiangsi, while the rest of the machines should immediately be sent up to Naa- king..

Whampao Forgiven.

Marshal Chiang Kai-shek has rot forgatton, the Whampao Cadeb Academy, which gave him his initial military force, and in which he devoted so much energy to the training of men for military ser vice in recent years. A few days ago Marshal Chiang sent a re- presentative back to Whampio Academy, of which he is the principal, and informed the acting chief thero that all the students who were arrested for Communist Sympathies should be detained till he has the leisure himself to attend to the matter. Marshal Chiang's representative also in- formed the Whampao students that as soon as the military ex pedition against Shantung and Chihli is completed, the Generalis-
