Nothing is heard here about the naming of a successor to fill Chiang Kai-shek's office. Lee Chung-yan, the Seventh Army Commander, and Hoh Ying-yam Commander of the First Army are temporarily directing operations, Leelat Pohow, across the river from Nanking, and General Hoh at Soochow, Lee Chung-yan is an Anti-Chiang man, while Hoh is "friendly inclined, but he has few troops, his army having suffered heavy casualties which have not been replaced by recruits." Baak Sung-hei holds forth at Shanghai; whether or not he is opposed to Chiang is not known.
