...many large, well armed and variously belligerent forces in the Peking-Tientsin area, alarm was general lest the most serious disorders if not battles should ensue. In the circumstances, it was permissible to ask hourly, last week, "Peking, Peking, who's got Peking?"

Soon he reorganized the Cabinet, appointing as Minister of Finance his wife's brother, T. V. Soong, and as Minister of Reconstruction his step-nephew by marriage, Sun Fo (son of the late, "sainted" Dr. Sun Yat-sen). Excitement brewed and seethed as Marshal Chiang ordered into immediate session some scores of delegates who have remained impatiently assembled in Nanking eager to become the Nationalist Party Congress...
