Hankow, July 10.
More business-like arrangements than those made for the arrival of General Li Chi-sen at Hankow, toulay, would hardly be possible. Rumours have been current that the Military Authorities keenly felt the criticism over the arrangements for the welcome Generalissimo Chiang; and while no one expected that honours on a similar scale would be paid General Li, there was a fear that business would again be interrupt: ed. This fear proved groundless. The signal that his steamer was arriving was given about throe o'clock, a small cordon of troops was thrown round the landing place and along the streets he would traverse, and by four o'clock traffic was again normal, The day did not pass entirely without incident, however. The teachers and scholars of the Second Midddle School were among those who went to the "Min Lo Yuan"
(People's Happiness Gardens) to welcome the General. They took with then their drums and fifes and some small banners, and the spirit of the day soon possessed them.
