Concerted, Move.
Then in 1909, a concerted move was made on his domain. A large French contingent, headed by a Colonel, with considerable experi- ence in Algerian warfare, took to the jungles in an attempt to reach Yen The. But the region was a hilly district covered over with im. dense jungle growth and penetrable forests.
With axes and scythes, the troops slowly and painfully made their [way, while being constantly subjected to the fire of concealed enemy sharpshooters. Many time the troops were lared by De Tham into what were subsequently described in the official history as infern woods, which were then set on fire from all sides. While the French troops were engaged in from em. extricating themselves barrassing situations such as this, De Tham with his men would gain another move ahead and, by paths and trails known only to them selves, progress into another re gion to prepare further difficulties for the invading force.

Hankow, Sept. 20.
The Central China Post gives the following account of Communist activities in the Yangteze Valley: "The almost daily reports of at- tacks by Communists on shipping in the Yangtaze seem of sufficient interest to warrant a brief survey of the measures being taken to deal with this menace,
"The Hankow-Kluklang run has for some time been rendered quite exciting by the constant sniping of ships by rifles and the fire of what appeared to be trench mor- tars. The guns crews of these latter made the mistake, however, of firing at H.M.S, Cricket a week ago with the reault that six of the nine guns located are now only valuable as scrap after direct hits scored by the gunboat's 6-inch
guns,
"Representations were made to the Chinese authorities concern- ing firing at British ships, and Nationalist troops accompanied by a Chinese gunboat and an aero- plane now appear to be active in the vicinity of Hwang San Kou- the headquarters of the Commun- ist rifle club.'
"Firing on ships has also been reported from Bedwell Reach, above Chenglin, and the towns of Hosuch and Kienli have been in Communist hands for some time. General Ho Ying-chin is dispatch ing forces to this area also. H.M. ships Teal and Ladybird have both replied with effect to fire opened upon them from localities and Ladybird is now patrolling with a view to locating several guns probably a form of trench mortar) that have been re- ported.

"It is to be hoped that these measures taken by the various au- thorities to deal with the Commun- ist nuisance will have a wide spread effect."
