CHINESE SETBACK
POOR CHANCE OF TAKING CANTON FIGHTING IN OTHER AREAS. FEARS OF NEW INVASION. By Telegraph—Press Association -Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.50 p.m.) LONDON, April 20. The Hong Kong correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” says Chinese hopes of recapturing Canton are considered remote. Both sides are bringing up remforcemeni.3 and bitter fighting is raging, particularly round Tsc-ngshing. The Chinese drive, in Honan Province has apparently been brought to a standstill with the Japanese recapture of Chungmu, south of Kaifeng, and the repulse of a Chinese attack- on Siangyang in Hupeh Province. Tension has suddenly developed on the coast of Fukien, where the Chinese fear an invasion of Foochow in view of the massing- of Japanese warships and transports at the mouth of the Min River.
