HO YING-CHING MAY SAVE SITUATION

Peiping, Dec. 3.

It is reported that General Sung Cheh-yuan, one of the Big Five of the North China warlords, has secretly left for Paotingfu to see General Ho Ying-ching, Nanking's War Minister. He did not meet General Ho at the station with General Shang Chen but allegedly waited for him at General Shang's residence.

last night there was an air almost amounting to optimism among important officials, which has been lacking for many days. This, despite the thinly-veiled hostility to General Ho Ying-ching's Impending arrival among the Japanese military clique.

There is a distinct feeling that General Ho, who in many previous contacts with the Japanese has proved himself an accomplished diplomat, may yet be able to bring about a reason- ably satisfactory conclusion to the long and trying situation which has resulted from the autonomy move in Hopei and Charhar.
