Floods May Halt Japan's Drive on Hankow

DYKES COLLAPSE
Invaders May Be Forced To Retire To Anking Or Push Into Mountains To North
Shanghai, Aug. 5.
Threatening to bring the Japanese drive on Hankow along the north bank of the Yangtse to a complete standstill, the flood waters of the Yangtse are rapidly a large area spreading, and have already inundated north of Kiukiang, including the towns of Hwangmei, Susung and Taihu near the Anhwei-Hupeh border.
It is believed that the Japanese in this region will either have to fall back to Anking, or strike northwards area lying in an endeavour to reach the mountainous north of Taihu.
When questioned on the subject, a Japanese naval spokesman said: "We have information that the dykes for a distance of 80 kilometres have been broken, seven miles up river from Kiukiang-Reuter,

GUARDS DISCIPLINE TO BE TIGHTENED
Troopers' Case Questions in House
STRONG measures are expected to be adopted to tighten up discipline at the Royal Horse Guards barracks in Whitehall following the conviction of three troopers at the Old Bailey recently for an offence against a young girl.
It is anticipated that questions will be asked in the House of Commons arising out of disclosures made at the trial that some of the troopers of the King's Guard stand in the yard of the bar racks while off duty and freely converse with girls.
One question will probably be: How is it possible for a young girl to be smuggled into the barracks-actually into the sleeping quarters without the knowledge of superior officers?
Victor Lloyd Pullin, aged 29, a trooper in the Royal Horse Guards, was found guilty of an attempt to commit a serious offence against the girl and was sentenced to 22 months' hard] labour.
