Shansi Leader Cured of His Indisposition: Call on the Young Marshal and Conference with Gen, Chiang: Joint Reorganization of Northern Armies Nanking, July 5.
At a meeting of the State Council this morning it was decided ithdvaw the mandate which was ued a short time ago ordering' the arrest of General Feng Vu-hsiang, This decision is the result of a joint telegram from General Yen Iisishan, Dr. H. H. Kung, Mr. Chao Tai-wen and Bir. Wu Chih-hui, petitioning for the revocation of the order.
The telegram is substantially as folows:—
Some time ago the Shantung and Honan Provincial Forces, without instructions from the Central]
Government, arbitrarily withdrew from their garrison posts. Feng Vu-hsiang was then recuperating at Huashan, and, owing to lack of communication, 'a misunderstanding arose between him and the Government. Since Feng Vu-hsiang now deeply regrets the incident and is willing to relinquish his military power and go abroad, it is therefore, earnestly hoped that the Goverment will, in consideration of his past meritorious services, revoke the order for his arrest.—Reuter, Inner Story of the Dispute Peking, July 5.
It is officially announced that the communications between Comand General Feng Vu-hsi shortly released in full for publica. tion. 'Those documents are expect ed to reveal what may be considered as the inside story of the episode which has led to the present crisis. Ta' Chung.
Peking, July 5.
The day eet for the departure of General Feng Yushsiang and General Yen Hsi-shan finds General Yen still in hospital and General Feng! still at Taiyuanfu, apparently no intention of Jeaving by himself, General Yen Hsi-shao's attitude is unaltered by his sponse to telegrams ro King leaders he has ing the post of Pacification Commissioner for the Northwest and suggesting the appointment of a Commissioner from the Kuominchun itself.
He goes on to point out that it was he who first invited General Feng to go abroad, and he thinks it would certainly be misunderstood if [jo now failed to accompany him. Such action, he says, would damage not only his own prestige but the prestige of his colleagues and that] lof the Kvomintang Party and the nation. He, therefore, again re-[quests official leave of absence.
The situation is likely to be made! more interesting by the arrival from Mukden of Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang who is expected this week-end.—Reater.
