The feeling of enmity existing between General Han Fu-chu and General Yen Hsi-shan is said to be as bad as that between General Shih Yussan and General Chiang Kai shek. General Shih has been appointed commander-in-chief of the Fourth Route Army and his troops fare now under the direction of General Yen. Although Shih and Han were good friends, it is stated to be inconevivable that General Han can even go over to the rebels. It will be recalled that General Han's troops have been transferred from Tsining to north Shantung, and they were to have re-occupied Yuchen, a station on the Tientsin-Pukow Railway south of Tehchow.
General Yenis stated to be having difficulties with the Left. Wing leaders of the Kuomintang. Unless Yen can achieve military success in his campaign against the Central Government, it is thought that he will win little support in his programme to establish a provisional Government at Peking. Although both Yen and Feng are making friendly gestures towards each other, the military expert believes that Feng is only patiently awaiting an opportunity to oust Yen and to step into Yen's shoes as the leading figure in North China. No open break between the two rebel leaders, however, is expected within the Present year—Reuter.
