Hankow, China, Dec. 13 R}-Seri- ous mutiny is reported to have broken out in Laohokow in northern Hupeh, about POO mile. northwest of Hankow.
 The troops there were reported to be footing and burning tho city which is on the Han river.
 Despite many persons arrested. including a large number of women agitators, the communists are most active in the vicinity of Hankow and the outlying districts are declared to be completely communistic.
 4 peasants army has been organ lzed and reports are being received that wealthy landlords have been murdered.
 General Chen Chien, commander in-chief of the Ranking sixth army which occupied Hankow on Nov. Is Is permitting violent anti-Nan- king posters to be exhibited in the native city. This Is felt as forecast ing the likelihood that he will sup port the Canton communists against the moderate nationalists who re- gently effected an agreement with the moderates of Canton and Han kow under the leadership of Chiang kia-Shek, the former nationalist generalissimo,
 It Is regarded as significant that recently there has been a fresh in- Aux of Russians into Hankow most of whom reported to the soviet con- sulate.
