NANKING. SHANGHAT'S BARBED WIRE.
Nowa from Canton and Shanghai to-day states that Marshal Chiang Kai-shek has decided to attack the ankow "Red" regime, and has called upon all the loyal Provinces to aid him. It is sug- gested that the attack will be made from six different directions, including the sending of foreca from Canton, the North River cum- paign being merely a preliminary operation."
General Yang Sen, the Szechuan Tupau of Wanhsien fame, has been called upon by Marshal Chiarig for assistance and is expected to sweep down the Yangtze, commencing operations at lchang.
Yet further ring on British warships is reported from Chin- kiang, three more British naval ratings being wounded--two on H.M.S. Klawo and one on II.M.S. Wanderer. In both cases the fire was returned.
There is an official denial of a Japanese report that the U.S. Minister to Peking (Mr. MacMurray) had resigned. It is officially confirmed from Washington that America has no intention of sund- ing a second Nanking Note to the Nationalist Government.
