Chang Hsun to Command

Peking, May 1.

It is reported in press circles that the dangerous situation created at the Tientsin conference has been somewhat allayed since last night, and that Premier Chin Yun-peng seems to have reconsidered his decision to resign. Such being the case, the conference is expected to conclude without any serious hitch. The appointment of General Chang Hsun as commander-in-chief of the punitive force against Kuangtung has been, it is reported, practically decided upon at the conference.—Eastern News Agency.
