It Is ilelieved: Official Advices I navailahle. Washington. April 12 ? fAIM ? Thr actual outbreak of hostilities between Moderate and Radical el ement* of lli ? Cantoned- arml-s in China has shoved into the back ground. for the moment at least, speculation as to the Chinese re ply to the demands of the power*, submitted yi'Dtfrduy and has v turned attention to the poKsfhill k|t ties of the political split in the V. Nationalist parly, which is glviug ^ si^ns of widt iiiiiu rapidly. Fighting today between the fac-j lions, reported at several points, j including Shanghai, Hangchow and Nanking may servo to delay repttes to the five power lioTesT de manding reparations for Insult xnt-injury to for* ignern by-Cmr* tonese troops at Nankinu. but it also may have far-reachint; results, on the whole future of China, and the policies of other nations to-J ward that country. The victorious march north ward of the Cantonese apparently has been made possible by their ability to preswnt a unit- d front, although It has been evident for some time thai the Moderate and | Liberal wings were at odds. There were no official advice* available here today to indicate when a reply to the Ave power de % mands might be expected either from the political Kovernment at Hankow or from General Chiang Kai-Shek, military chieftain and now apparently heading an active Moderate revolt against radicalism in the Nationalist party. Chiang is understood to be at thanking. Indications have point ed to his intention to prevent the political government at Hankuw from taking over Nanking ifs a new rapit.il for the Nationalist movement.
