An Advance from Chang Tso-lin The 'Eastern Times' publishes reports of increasing activity in connexion with the campaign of Canton against Wu Pei-fu. In the first place Marshal Chang Tso-lin is reported to have sent $300,000 to Dr. Sun Yat-sen. This is apparently in the nature of an advance, for Marshal Chang is said to have promised a sum of $3,000,000 as soon} as hostilities break out.
Meantime the Tuchun of Kiangsi has reported that his province is in imminent danger of invasion, so much so that he asks for assistance from Kiangsu and Anhui troops. His fears are all the more pronounced as the Cantonese army has instituted an extra drill per day and trial flights of aeroplanes are proceeding regularly.
The Kuo Wen News Agency mentions that General Hsiao Yao-nan. Wu Pei-fu's leading subordinate, is on his way to Yochow to direct the necessary defensive measures there.
