CHINESE CLAIMS
MORE HEADWAY IN YANGTSE OFFENSIVE JAPANESE REINFORCEMENTS INTERCEPTED. RUSSIAN AIRCRAFT BUSY. By Telegraph —Press Association. Copyright. (Recd This Day, 12.15 p.m.) LONDON, August 10. The “Daily Telegraph’s” HongJKong correspondent says it is officially claimed in Canton that the Chinese offensive on the north bank of the Yangtse is gaining ground. The Japanese suffered heavy losses at Hwang* mei, where they are facing extermination owing to the Chinese intercepting reinforcements. Moreover, floods are preventing the Japanese bringing up transport and heavy equipment, with the result that the Chinese are equal therein but numerically superior. It is confirmed that the Japanese are withdrawing northwards from their bases in bnansi and Honan, presumably owing to the Russian-Japanese situation. Mr Peter Roberts, an English aviator, says there are a thousand Russian pilots and aircraftsmen in Hankow, equipped with fifty bombers and a hundred pursuit planes. They are raiding Japanese vessels in the Yangtse and sinking river craft, mo-tor-boats and an occasional destroyer.
