NATIONALIST CAPITAL
NANCHANG-, NOT HANKOW
PEKIN,, 19th January. A meeting of Nationalist military leaders resolved to make Nanchang, eighty miles south of the Yangtse, the capital, the chief reason boirig that it cannot be attacked from the sea. This replaces- the earlier plan to incorporate Hankow, Hanyang, and Wuchang into one capital, to be named Wuhan.
Nanchang, on the edge of a great swamp to the south of the Yangtse River, in Kiangsi Province, was- captured by the Cantonese last year. It is eminently defensible.
