It is reported in Changhsintien, the railway headquarters just west of Peking, that no empty trucks are coming up the Peking-Hankow railway but that all.are being sidetracked at either Chengchow or Paotingfu, by orders of Wu Pei-fu and Tsao Kun. The publication of this report is prohibited in Peking, because it would seem to indicate that certain parties are preparing for the movement of troops in anticipation of the movements being made in a north-eastern quarter by a certain other party, as the Asiatic News Agency would say when the censorship is on.
