OUTBREAKS

There is definite information, from two distinct sources, that Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang (the "Christian" General) has definitely broken with the Hankow party, and that he told the delegates to the Chengchow conference" to get back to Hankow and mind their own business. There is a rumour that Feng has come to a definite understanding with Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, and that they are going to launch a joint campaign against Peking.

Meanwhile, it is significant that Marshal Chang Tsung-chang, nominally the Tuchun of Shantung, has informed the Japanese' and Chinese authorities that he cannot be responsible for the safety of foreigners in Tsinan (the capital of Shantung), and the Japanese have sent a force of 1,500 men to Tsinan from Tsingtao.

There is further disquieting news from Hankow regarding the appalling condition of the wounded soldiers and the bad behaviour of those who are convalescent. The dreaded typhus has broken out and the conditions in hospitals are described as "unspeakably horrible." The authorities are neither prepared, able nor competent to deal will the situation.

Up the river from Hankow, General Yang Sen is behaving with characteristic truculence. He has demanded a $100,000 levy from Ichang, threatening to give his soldiers freedom to loot the city unless the money is forthcoming. There is a general air of insecurity and apprehension.
