Chinese Launch Determined Counter-Offensive
REAR
OF JAPANESE AT KIUKIANG NOW GRAVELY MENACED
Lion Hill Sector Still In Defenders' Hands Is Claim
Nanchang, July 29,
Embittered by the loss of Kiukiang, Chinese troops hurled themselves upon the Japanese in a furious counter-attack yesterday.
Violent fighting raged on the whole front, extending from Pengtseh to Kiukiang. The Chinese right and left wings in the Hukow-Pengtseh sector made a vigorous advance, recapturing a number of points, including Shibpoling, Meilangkow and Laotashan. The rear of the Japanese occupying Kiukiang is threatened.
Chinese reinforcements dispatched to the Poyang Lake sector, meanwhile, succeeded in cutting the Japanese communications between Kiukiang and Kutang, about seven miles south-east of Kiukiang on the west bunk of the lake.

"FIFTEEN"
this outstanding addition to the famous Daimler series introduces entirely new and exclusive features which bring motoring nearer to perfection. The New Daimler Fifteen is a production worthy of the great tradition its name implies..
The name of Daimler is now, as it has ever been, a symbol of integrity of purpose and craftsmanship, all over the world. A proud ambassadorship possible only to an outstanding product of man's hands and brain, a product in the service of which men have spent their lives to maintain and improve
Daimler craftsmen, backed by an experience ex- tending over more than forty years, have built this fine motor-car which will still further consolidate an un- challenged reputation as the foremost engineers in modern car production,
The Now Daimler Fifteen is a worthy addition to the Dalmler range that will impress its users by an outstandingly brilliant performance.
Daimler has never been content merely to Improve existing design. Each new production commences its existence as an ideal in the minds of its designers rather than as a series of detail improvements to be applied to a previous model. And when change is to the advantage of car-owners unhesitating deference Daimler stands to-day is paid to the call of the future. accepted as the herald of to-morrow.

More than ever the New Daimler is car that, whether as a sleek sports model or dignified saloon, expresses its essential spirit in its performance on the open road. Only a delicate ripple of sound and the changing scene outside the car will tell you of the transition from well-surfaced artorial to cobbled English village. Tramlines, woodblock, concrete, asphalt or metal, all surfaces are the same to this new Daimler. You might be riding on velvet until in the sudden emergency the powerful, progressive brakes will draw the car smoothly and safely to rest, yards short of the obstruction that you might have hit, except in a Daimler.

complete banishment of nerve strain through traffic driving. The car creep by inches, or check and move through the most comprehensive 'jams, needing no more attention than from the driver's foot on the accelerator. At the halt, gear engaged, engine in- audibly ticking over, the car will remain at a stand- still. As the fine begins to move or the lights flash green, with no more than a touch on the accelerator, smoothly and silently the car will swing into stride and leap exhilaratingly to its maximum.
