Politically, the situation looks as full of electricity as ever. Outiv, it appears that Wu Pei-fu has become the butt of all sides, but really it is President Hsu Shih-chang. Dr. Sun's expedition would have to pass through, Kiangsi and Hunan, where it would be Wu's task to stem its advance northwards. But the chief aim of Dr. Sun's expedition is to remove Hsu from the Presidency. As Tuan Chi-jui and Chang Tso-lin ave in league with Sun, they must also lagree to Hsu's removal. Besides, Liang Shih-yi and Yih Kung-cho of the Chiaotung party must both hate Hsu ne less than Wu, since Hsu has been the brain and Wu only the tool in forcing them from the Cabiner. It is problematical when ther Tsao Kun and Wu Pei-fu will care to fight Hsu's battle if their own interest is not involved atthe same wine.
