Fae ex Own Connrsroxoext Canton, Nov, 30.
Sizee the Kuangsi warlords wi not be reasonable, but want everything their own way, prospects that a treaty of peace will be drawn up are not rosy. Each of the important personages in the enemy's camp. thinks he is entitled to receive $100,- 000 as the price of his signature to any kind of peace pact, and the Nationalists cannot see it that way' fat all. And when it comes to the reorganization of the government'
the war zone, and the taking over; of the rebels' military unite, the' Kuangtung authorities, who surely] must speak for Nanking, are not prepared to give the leaders of the Tebellion the measure of control that they are seeking to retain, While parleying was going on, the Kuangtung lines were drawn and fighting ceased, but there wi not be a let up of hostilities much longer. All hope has not been abandoned, but nearly so, it seems, for the spokesman of Mah Yiu kuan, who was all ready to set on! for Nanning to talk everything: over with Li Chung-jen and the rest thought it was useless to and has not left Wuchow after all.
Tt is pretty well conceded that, unless reinforcements can be secur ed, a speedy termination to the Keangsi warfare cannot be brought about. Not enough soldiers are on hand to guard the lines of communications when the troops move! out, many miles from their base with the object of taking Nanning or Lanchow or other important places.
Chiang Kaictek, it is heard, has been asked by General Chen' Chi-tang to send northern regiments to cooperate with those from Kuiangtung, but if this assistance is not forthcoming, in all probability it will not be until the COR and let Divisions have cleaned up the Red3 in Kiangsi and Wunan and are free to lend a helping hand in Kuangsi that the regulars can get anywh in their campaign for the subing: tion of the rebel territory. The ott that they can do—and they have made threats along this line too—is to bomb rebel cities from! the air. Past experience has shown, though, that it is the viliness that suffer, and not the military, when bombs are dropped. from aloft by swift-fying planes.
