Favourable Impression

Kaifeng, Honan, May 22

On two occasions, Feng Yuhsiang, the Christian general of the 1th Division, and ex-governor of the province of Shensi, who came out to assist Wu Pei-fu in his fight against Chang Tso-lin, and incidentally had to clear the Chao family out of Honan, has been accorded enthusiastic welcome by the happy Kaifeng people.

Last Friday afternoon, in the large assembly room of the city Y.M.C.A., a very representative gathering of the city and of the foreign nations through their nationals here, was convened. In former days when the Governor was expected at any function every guest must be there presumably on time, and then wait an indefinite time for the chief guest to arrive. On the occasion under consideration a few minutes before the time set for the opening of proceedings Governor Feng, on a_ bicycle, attended by a half dozen men on bicycles, and another dozen on foot, arrived at the "Y" building.
