However, it was under- stood that the Wuhan leaders have completed plans for the evacuation of Hankow and a withdrawal across the Yangtse to consolidate their positions in Hunan, not cou: the loss of the Wuhan cities as vital. The prov- inces of Hunan, Kwangsi and Kwang- tung are regarded as the real heart of the Kwangsi group. In the event of a withdrawal to the south, the sphere of fighting was ex- pected to shift quickly from the Yangtse valley in the neighborhood of Kiukiang to the Hunan-Kiangsi border where the Nanking authorities are concentrating forces, Business Circles Object Business circles in Hankow have been angered by the demand of the military chieftains here for $5,000,000 Mexican as a war fund of which the Chinese banks were assessed $2,000,- 200 Mexican. The attitude of Marshal Feng Yu- Hsiang still remained uncertain today despite claims both by the Wuhan leaders and the Nanking govern- ment that they were enjoying his allegiance. It is reported that Feng has been seizing the rolling stock on the Peking-Hankow railway and is concentrating large forces at Cheng- chow, an important junction point.

The dispute between the men and the company involving working con- ditions and a demand of the employes that they be reimbursed for property losses incurred in the transfer of the railroad’s division point from Long- view, Texas, to Mineola, Texas, last January. Many of the workers owned or were buying homes at Longview when they were forced to move. They insist that the company should assist them in the disposal of the property and protect them from losses. TEXANS APPROVE STRIKE Dallas, Texas, March 29.— (AP) — Railroad brotherhood officials have announced here that 4,000 train, en- gine and yard employes of the Texas & Pacific railroad had voted almost unanimously in favor of a strike.

An effort to displace wires by radio is interesting from a scientific point of view, but the problems are such that our faith reposes in wires. “It will be found by those who com- pete for land telegrams that the med- jum of connecting thousands of vil- lages, towns and cities is incident to the major problems of collecting and distributing the millions and millions of messages.
