Theoretically Chang's evacuation left Peking to be occupied without a struggle by the Nationalist Army. But that army was in three sections, allied rather than subordinate under a nominal Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek. Last week Chiang was obliged to leave his personal army in the field, at a considerable distance from Peking, while he rushed to Nanking because of disagreement within the Nanking Nationalist Executive Council.
