WAR IN CHINA
JAPANESE MUCH HINDERED BY FLOODS IMPEDIMENTS TO ADVANCE ON HANKOW CHINESE GUERRILLAS ACTIVE (Recd This Day. 11.30 a.m.) HONG KONG, August 5. As the flooded Yellow River protected Hankow from the north, the Yang-tse-Kiang protects it from the east, inundations forcing the Japanese repulsed from Kiokiang to march along the heavily fortified south bank, or strike towards Nanchang, across Kinangsu northwards along the Canton-Hankow Railway, against a furious and wellprepared resistance. The Chinese are intensifying guerrilla warfare everywhere. Countless bands in the Langfeng area are driving the Japanese to concentrate in cities. The whole countryside is in arms, which makes its conquest at present hopeless.
