[From & Special Correspondent]
Canton, To-day.
Having read Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's letter request- ing peace, Generals Li Chung-jen and Pei Hsung-hsi are in sympathy with the Generalissimo, and it is reliably reported that the Nanning Peace Conference progressed satisfactorily yester- day, except that the Kwangsi leaders persist in their demands for the withdrawal of the Central-troops to North China to re- sist the Japanese aggression, the peoples' patriotic movement to be permitted and freedom of speech to be allowed, in which con- nection the Nanking delegates have cabled the Generalissimo, for instructions. Upon receiving the reply from the latter, the con- | ference will be continued early this morning.
It is learned that the Generalissimo will withdraw the Cen- tral troops from the Kwangsi frontiers as a modification of his attitude, but as he has already announced that the reason for the New York, To-day: Lou Ambers presence of the Central troops in the south was not to suppress secured a points decision

As night descended the fighting in Behobia redoubled in fierceness. The road flanking the Bidassoa River was raked with devastating fire, while in French Behobie bullets whistled down the main road into France, causing the residents to close and shutter their houses.
Across the frontier the Government defenders crouched be- hind barricades of sandbags and poured a stream-of lead into the ranks of the Foreign Legionaries advancing towards the river to capture the bridgehead. The insurgents, reinforced by ma- chine-guns, reached to within 40 yards of the international bridge. Besides facing the Government machine-gunners the insur- gents were subjected to a continuous stream of rife-fire from the upper windows of houses in Behobie, plunged into darkness when a stray bullet cut the electric cable serving the village, while a nearby match factory was struck by a shell and began to blaze fiercely.
