Northern Attack in Yenmen Pass Peking, Feb. 20.
It is now definitely confirmed that large sum of money hax been sent to Pei from Nanking. situation at Tehang, Shasi_and downriver as far as Temple Hill continues to remain obscure, General Ho Chen is believed to be approaching Ichang.
General Wang Ching who commands the 3rd Army which has been near the Hunan border for the past month returned to Kivkiang February 15 and as far as is known will withdraw to Nanking. This movement of the 3rd Army from Kinngsi would seem to lend colour to local rumour in Kiukiang thet General Chu Pei-teh, now a member of the Central Committee at Nan. king, has lost his position as overlord of Kiangsi. Other reports state that troops of the 1st Army under Li Lich-chun are coming shortly to Kiangsi which goes far to confirm the belief that Chu is to be superseded by Li, the latter a native of Kiangsi and overloud of the province during 1925-26.
