 Much Criticism Heard
 The dirigible was taken from its hangar Saturday and moored to the mast, a half mile away. There re- gently has been much criticism of the ship, with charges by various aeronautical experts that it would not live up to expectations in pe-- formance.
 The R-101 Is 73o feet long and 132 feet in diameter. Under the contract when the ship was laid down, she was to have a speed of 70 miles an hour at 5000 feet, with cruising speed of 63 miles an hour. At this cruising speed it was estimated the airship should be able to fly in still air a distance Of about 400O miles without refueling. with a normal commercial load.
 The R-101 is fitted with engines using a heavy oil, the purpose be- ing to reduce the fife hazard at tendant upon the use of gasoline. Engineers are particularly interest ed in determining the degree of ef- fiCiency reached by these motors. The airship Is designed to carry 100 passengers, luggage and ten tons of mail. It has a dining room capable of seating 50 persons at a time.

 In virtually every province troops are mobilizing and armies being CO., ordinated for the purpose of replac- ing Chiang with Feng Iuhsiang. one-time Christian general" and Yan Hsi-Shao, model governor Of Shansi province.
 The match which has set afamc the finder of civil war has been the order of the nationalist government for punitive measures against the Kuominchum. or peoples army. as the troops of Marshal Feng call themselves.
 Chiang is Accused This came as the sequel of a fierce denunciation of Chiang by commanders of the Kuominchum, who declared the Ranking president was enriching himself at the eX- pense of the state. They charged he had been drawing 9 million dol lars month from the national treasury for personal expenses and had usurpcd dictatorial powers.
 He was accused of floating loans for S400, 100000 within two years of which the public knew nothing in solar as expenditures were con corncd. Another charge was that the most lucrative governments posts had been given to friends and relatives.
