KWANGSI TROOPS REACH SHANGHAI HEAVY RAINS CHECK HOSTILITIES
Shanghai, To-day.
With reports from Chinese and Japanese head- quarters contradicting each other, it is somewhat difficult to obtain a clear view of the military situa- tion in and around Shanghai.
Japanese headquarters, in magnificent fash- ion, claim that in the past 24 hours Japanese troops have occupied 100 square kilometres of territory, and have advanced in the direction of Liaobang and Tazang to about four kilometres away from the railway connecting Shanghai and Nanking.
The Chinese, however, maintain that their lines still run from Liaohang via Kiangwan and the "Bridge of the Eight Characters" to North Station. The position actually seems to be that only the Chinese centre has been withdrawn, the flanks re- maining unaltered.
The Chinese state that though their lines are still theoretically within range of the guns of the Japanese fleet, nevertheless the distance is such as to render their fire practically inoperative.
In any case, the Chinese still maintain their positions at North Station.
Heavy rain yesterday afternoon prohibited large-scale operations but proved unable to ex- tinguish the fires which were kindled on Monday and which are still raging.
Kiangwan Village is ablaze, the flames being clearly visible from the Settlement.-Trans-Ocean. KWANGSI TROOPS IN SHANGHAI
