CHINESE TROUBLE
REBELS DECIMATED. RIVERS BLOCKED WITH CORPSES [United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] HONG KONG, Doc. 13: The Cantonese are following up the retreating “Ironsides,” and they have inflicted a further reverse on them during a two days’ battle with the Kwangsi forces. The Canton and Nanking gunboats co-operated, by landing marines, and they machine-gunned the enemy while they were attempting to cross the Nortli River, which is now choked full of corpses. Canton is celebrating the victorious drive. / The success, it is stated, is due to German military experts, who were specially sent from Nanking by Marsha Chiang Kai Slick, who is organising the defences.
Part of the German system consists in mining sectors, thereby killing hundreds of “Ironsides.” Streams of wounded continue to arrive at Canton.
