PEACE HOPE IN CANTON Chan Chai-Tong To Resign?

OFFICIALS ANNOUNCE QUEST FOR FORMULA

Canton, July 18.

Canton's belligerent attitude has suddenly altered; and it is reported in well-informed quarters that General Chan Chai-tong is seeking a peace formula, together with his allies of Kwangtung and Kwangsi. It is reliably stated that General Chan altered his stand on receipt of a telegram from General Yu Han-mow yesterday, which was a virtual ultimatum.

When hope for a peaceful settlement had been abandoned, the new developments came as a surprise.

Confirmation of the departure for Hongkong of the Mayor, Mr. Liu Chi-won, the Chairman of the Kwang- tung Provincial Government, Mr. Lin Yun-koi, and Mr. Ho Kai-lai, head of the Provincial Department of Reconstruction for Hongkong, caused optimism.

But when General Yu Han-mow despatched another long telegram to General Chan Chai-tong, an appeal for peace and to spare Kwangtung the devastation of a civil strife, a virtual ultimatum, the next move was eagerly awaited.
