It is reported that Japanese warships have commenced to bombard Kiukiang, where China's most massive boom has prevented shipping from proceeding either up or down the river for several months past.

Japanese naval authorities in Shanghai state that U.S.S. Monocacy, stationed at Kiukiang, attempted to proceed up-river yesterday to get out of the danger zone.

JAPANESE TERRITORIAL GAINS IN CHINA during the first twelve months of the Sino-Japanese War are shown in this special Telegraph map. Although the Japanese are nominally in possession of the shaded areas their grip on the country is most insecure, owing to the enormous activities of guerillas, who are constantly harassing the Japanese even as far north as Peiping and Tientsin, where the conflict started twelve months ago (Chinese flags were hoisted in the suburbs of Tientsin during the week-end). It may be said that, with the exception of the railway arcas, the Japanese exercise little more, if ány, control over the shaded areas than the Chinese regular army.
