The fear is expressed that the ten thousand Chinese advancing on Hankow will attack the Japanese concession, where a state of emergency has been proclaimed. Japanese marines have landed and barricaded and wired the concession. Foreigners have been warned to leave immediately. Pekin reports that the Japanese military authorities declare that the threatening attitude of the Chinese on the Pekin-Suiyan railway is making the situation worse. It is estimated that nearly 45,000 are converging on the Pekin-Tientsin area. The advanced troops are within sight of Pekin. It is reported that the Chinese, attacking in torrential rain, surprised the Japanese and recaptured Lian Changh-sien, an important railway centre.
