The man who is leading Kuangsi troops into Kuangtung now and whose name appears in the English language press as Shen Hung-ving, Song Hung-yin and Sheng Hung-yin, is a Cheng Hsueh Hui man of the old schoo}. That is he belongs to the same political group as the present Premier in Peking and two of his Cabinet members. For the past year he has been flitting back and forth, between southern Hunan and southern Kiangsi. He assembled an army of four mixed brigades, presumabjiy 20,000 men, recruited from the Kuangsi mountain population. Northern officers who have been with them say they are splendid fighters, but in the course of their recent return to Kuangsi from southern Kiangsi, they behaved abominably. Shen Hung-ying, who owes some allegiance to Lu Yungting, whom Chen Chiung-ming ousted from Kuangsi, decided in October that he was strong enough to go back to Kuangsi and unite the province which was at that moment the most disordered in China. He has evidently done it and, which is not generally known, has done it with Wu_Pei-fu's blessing and possibly with some support. Now he has made the traditional Kuangsi descent upon Kuangtung and it is to be taken for granted that he has more than his original four mixed brigades.
