NATIONALIST FORCES LEAVE CHANGCHUN
Shanghai, October 6.
Nationalist troops, have evacuated Changchun, last. Government stronghold in northern Manchuria, after smashing through the Communist encirclement in a surprise operation, according to reports appearing in today's Ta Kung Pao. The entire garrison force, which held out for over
nine months against a tight Communist block- ade, is said to have by-passed Szepingkai and reached Changtu, 65 miles north of Mukden,
in their march southward:
It is still not known definitely whether they are attempting to reach Mukden or the Man- churian corridor, where. Nationalist armies are badly in need of reinforcements, and to-- wards which a strong Government column, based in the Mükdon aroa, is at prosent advancing.
