CHINESE TROUBLE.
(Australian Press Association & Sun.) FIERCE FIGHTING RESUMED. SHANGHAI, Alav 6. Heavy fighting on both sides of the Yangtze apparently marks the end of the stalemate as far as the Chinese military warfare is concerned. The Northerners launched wave after wave in an attack against a small force of two divisions of Chiang Slick’s Nationalists in the region of Nanking, who have been holding out for two days against numerically superior odds. They were finally forced to retire before a desperate Shantung assault. The Nationalists have thus lost their capital in Amvhei Province, and also other cities on the direct line to Hankow, It should fall to the Northerners within a fortnight, as once Chiang Kai Slick’s forces are eradicated, little opposition will he encountered from the Hankow Communists.
Chiang Kai Shelc slightly countered the Anwhei leverse by dri-rtng across to Hangchow, the fall of which is reported, hut not confirmed.
