GENERAL W WAR IN CHINA.

CHEKIANG FORCES GAIN FIRST- SIGNIFICANT VICTORY BY CAPTURE OF THING.

APPEAL TO MUKDEN.

Chang Tso-lin Asked To Attack.

In capturing thing. Cheklang has scored the first material victory of the Central China War. "Renter's" message dicans that the pro-Peking forces have had the fight carried into their own territory and that, despite adverse weather, the anti-Peking army is advancing on the western front. On the eastern front- much closer to Shanghai and separated from the western by the big Talhu Lake-no decision has been reached yet but it appears « if Cheklang is steadily moving forwards. Our Informant, whe has been over all the territory in recent years and who explained the situation, as published yesterday, gives another review to-day,
