All cable and telegraph service from the city itself has been Interrupted, and, with the exception of brief radio bulletins and the naval dispatches, little news from Peking Itself was available. According to the naval dispatches the Shansl forces were the first in the city, their vanguard arriving as the Mukden Interim garrison departed. They were given a tumultuous meeting, but order was preserved throughout. ( National Troops' Entry Marks Dramatic Event. The formal entry of nationalist troops into Peking, historical capital of China, marks one of the most dramatic events of the Civil war that has been raging In China ever since the nationalists began a drive to the north from Conton, two years ago. Canton, almost forgotten now in the to the swing of the nationalist armies north, was the seat of the Kuomin-tan- o (natVonal people's party) in 192.
