PINCERS OF WAR
THE JAPANESE ADVANCE ON HANKOW CHINESE DEFENCES AGAIN GIVE WAY. BREAKING OF INNER LINE CLAIMED. TOKIO, September 7. The pincer movement against Hankow is making steady progress. Three forces are converging on the city from the south-east, while other forces are advancing from the north. The Chinese, who are forming a new defence line south of Mahuiling, admit that their desperate attempt against the Japanese flank is in vain. The Japanese claim not only to have shattered Hankow’s outer defences, but to have broken the inner line at three points.
