Nanking, Mar. 18. A movement is on foot among the Nationalist lenders for retaining the allegation of General Li Chung-yen, who has just resigned from his positions with the Central Govern- ment as the result of the Human dispute. It is likely that a reque will be made to General Lito withdraw his resignation.

The whole subject was thorough ly discussed, at today's mooting of the Central Political Council and It is believed that this body will formally request General Lt Chung- yen to reconsider the position:

The Acting Chairman of the Hunan Provincial Council, Geñotal Ho Chlen, has wired to Nanking otating that orders have been sued to his eubordinates, Generals Yeh Chi and Tan Tao-min, instrue ting them to cease immediately all troop movements and preparations for war and to await the decision of the leaders at Narking.

A Hankow report places the total force of the Wu-llan armies, at 130,000 of which 30,000 are station-

ed in the east of Ilupeh and 20,000 in the Hunan border near Kinngal Province.
