The railroad between Peking and Nanking is heavily guarded by 30,000 Nanking troops for fear of an attaek by Feng during the re-| moval of the body. During the cere- monies prior to the removal of the body from Pi Yuns-su temple, the} Nanking representatives claimed Sun Yat-sen as their leader. The very} presence of Sun Yat-sen’s widow, who before coming to witness the| removal as a token of her solidarity with the Chinese masses had pub- licly stated that the revolution} which Sun had led was betrayed two years ago by Chiang Kai-shek and his clique of war lords who had| gone over to the imperialists, belied the Kuomintang assertion. Paul Jernigan, Standard Oil man- ager in Peking, was specially in-| vited by the Nanking government | to participate in the ceremonies. Most of the representatives of the | imperialists are now in Nanking, publicly to participate in the recep- tion of the body when it arrives on Saturday, but secretly to confer with Chiang on the offensive against Feng.
