AN OVERDUE HOLIDAY.
As Hankow has recently bean trented to a good many sensations in the way of Bolshevik retreats,' flights to Moscow, etc., which later have proved to be false alarms, we thought it better yesterday for the sake of accuracy and the mainten- ance of a reliable news service to investigate a little before commit- ting ourselves to a confirmation of the retirement of General Galena.. reports the Central China Post of August 12, and proceeds:
The account given of this Gen- eral's departure to Moscow was so detailed and vivid that to the or- dinary reader it would appear im- possible that the reporter had not been present to say farewell, As the gentleman referred to had shown no signs of departure on the evening of the night he was so elaborately reported as left, n représentative of this paper called at his residence last evening, for confirmation of his journey to Urga and Moscow.

Solid Proofs Of Presence.
On referring to the report which had appeared that morning in the columns of a contemporary, General Galens smiled and said that as he was then in his office talking to a representative of the "C. C. Post," one moreover who well acquainted with his appearance, it was obviously. im- possible for him to be en route to Urga. General Galen then, stated he gave full permission and would be glad if we not only contradicted the statement, but used his own expression which was that the story was a "Pure fabrication from beginning to end."
He had no particular quarrel. with the newspaper which bud produced it, but he thought that when a newspaper went sensation- mongering, it should take care to have a little foundation of fact whereon to base its gensations. Our representative was then in- vited to inspect the belongings of himself and another closely relat ed to him in order that he might be assured that he had not packed up and, ready for flight.
Later Intentions.
General Galens was open and frank in his statement when he informed our rpresentative that It was his intention to leave Han- kow as soon as his duties per- mitted him to do so. A holiday was long overdue, but when he was able to take one there would be no necessity for him to make theatrical exit with a fleet of motor cars Or emulate the pioneers of
