SERIOUS THREAT
RAISED BY JAPANESE TO CHANGSHA FIGHTING FOR LAKE POSITION. ATTEMPT TO BLOCK CHINESE REINFORCEMENTS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.50 p.m.) LONDON, May 12. The potential threat to Changsha is increasing, says the Associated Press, Chungking correspondent. The Japanese have established a foothold on the southern shore of Tungting Lake, after successive unsuccessful landing attempts. The Chinese are now strengthening their positions south of the lake in order to check further enemy penetrations, at the same time holding firm on the west side, where the Japanese apparently are trying to prevent Chinese reinforcements reaching Changsha. Meanwhile, mobile Chinese columns, operating from the northern shore of the lake, attacked Japanese forces trying to squeeze out all opposition between the Yangtse River and Tungting Lake.
