The fate of Chang Tso-lin, whose train was bombed at

Mukden, is not yet known, though most of the evidence indicates that he is seriously injured if he is not dead. Here is another complication, for much depends upon the succession to the man who so long ruled Manchuria. It is to be hoped that the Nationalists will not be so mad as to-try penetrate Manchuria. They have enough 'on their hands already. Nevertheless, one- of the Kwangsi Generals has announced his determination independently to lead one hundred thousand men into Manchuria. Let us hope this is only a boast. In spite of the extreme confusion, the situation vis-fi-vis the Powers is really better than it was, for the emergence of a Government which can speak in the name of Nationalism is more probable than it has been for some time.
