Warlord Liu Kueitang Leads 700 Followers Across Hopei Toward Shanxi
Fragmentary reports say Liu Kueitang and about 700 outlaw followers ride south from Hopei province carving through countryside after thwarted by government troops near Peiping. They loot towns for food and cloth as they head toward Shanxi to establish a new rendezvous in West China, after a year in Northern Chahar and clashes with Guanese in Jehol. Agents of four Nationalist leaders reportedly reached Foochow to mediate the Fukien rebellion with peace talks involving Lo Wen Kan and other officials in Hong Kong and Foochow.
