Very heavy fighting is going on along the Lung-Hai Railway to the west of Hsuchowfu, and although the Government troops sre Te ported to have recaptured two towns from the
enemy, their casualties total 7,000, of whom 2,000 arrived at Nanking to-day.
The wounded Government troops are too numerous to be given adequate attention.

GOVERNOR ARRIVES.
COLONY WELCOMES SIR WILLIAM AND LADY PEEL.
REFERENCE IN SPEECH TO FORMIDABLE LIST OF
HONGKONG'S PROBLEMS.
ENTHUSIASM AT THE CITY HALL.
The New Governor of Hongkong, H.E. Sir William Peel, K.B.E., arrived in the Colony this morning with Lady Peel. There was a colourful scene at Queen's Pier when His Excel- lency arrived by launch from the P. and O. Khiva. Sir William, wore a white uniform and helmet with white plume, Lady Peel being attired in a pale mauve, two piece ensemble. There were guards of honour by the full battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and by detachments of the Royal Navy,
An address of welcome was presented at the City Hall and in reply to this the new Governor referred to the loyalty and good citizenship of the Chinese community in Malaya. He also referred to the amity and concord which he under- .stood to exist between all races and nationalities in Hong- kong. Sir William said he could offer no comment on the formidable list of the Colony's needs as outlined in the ad- dress of welcome. He would discuss these with the people on the spot and until he had done so it would be manifestly unwise of him to express any views on them. Concluding his reply, Sir William said:"I am deeply sensible of the great honour which has been conferred upon me by his Gracious Majesty the King, in appointing me to be Governor of this Colony in direct succession to a long list of distin- guished administrators. It will be presumptuous of me even to express the hope that I shall ever attain the standard of my predecessors, but I can assure you that I shall do my utmost not to fall behind them by working earnestly and wholeheartedly for the good and welfare of Hongkong, and assist in maintaining those friendly relations with our neighbours which my distinguished predecessor, Sir Cecil Clementi in particular did so much to foster. I am confident that in my humble endeavours I shall have the help and co-operation of them all.

RADIO BREAKDOWN SIX WICKETS FOR
AT PEAK.
GENERALTOR FAULT STOPS BROADCASTING.
MISHAP EXPLAINED.
The broadcasting of the speeches at the City Hall this morning when a public welcome was tendered to the new Governor was rendered im- possible by a breakdown at the Peak transmitting station.
The mishap was particularly un- fortunate in view of the fact that. special
arrangements had been made for the relay from the City Hall and that the event was con- sidered one of the most important transmissions arranged by the off
ciala of ZBW.
It is interesting to note, however, that although ZBW has been opera- ting since June 1928, this is the first ecension on which an organised transmission has been interrupted and is the first breakdown ever to occur in the service.
The Telegraph was officially in- formed this morning that the trou- ble was due to the failure in the power supply at the Peak trans- initting station, caused by the gen erator burning out. It was there- fore impossible to effect transmis-, sion, and consequently to inform the public of the fact that the City Hall welcome could not be broad- cast.
Attempts are now being made to secure a new generator and it la possbile that ZBW. will be able to resume transmissions to-night. This will depend on whether a new generator with a suitable output can be secured.
Listeners are asked to listen on ZBW's wavelength at 6 p.m., 7 p.m.; 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. to-night. Attempts will be made to transmit at these hours and if there are successful the programme as arranged for to- night will be given.

London, May 8.
Having been dismissed by Es- sex for the modest total of 156, the Australians to-day secured their revenge by skittling out when play was resumed to-day their opponents for only 67 runs.
Essex had 48 on the board for the loss of three wickets but the innings soon ended when the Australian bowlers got into ac- tion.
Hornibrook was put on, and during the morning he took six wickets for seven runs, the Essex batamen finding him absolutely unplayable.

Australia's Innings.
Australia then went in again and by the time the tea interval: was taken they had nearly reached their first inning's total and had lost only four wickets. At tea their score
was 155 for four wickets.
By the time stumps were drawn they had added another 108 runs, losing two more wickets in doing so. The close of play score, was 263 for the loss of six wickets.
The Australians have now scored 419 in the two innings and four of their wickets have still to fall. Essex therefore will pro- bably require well over 400 runs in the second innings in order to secure a victory, Reuter.
