Hankow, To-day.

The Japanese armies advancing on Hankow from Anking and Hopei, respectively, joined hands at Tungcheng after the latter town had been evacuated by the Chinese, according to reports here which add that the Chinese troops have withdrawn to the hilly region west of Tung- cheng.

The Japanese, it is stated, are now continuing their march westwards in two columns, one of which is advancing along the road from Anking to Hankow, which runs parallel to the Yangtse, and the other along the road from Hofei to Hsinyang, on the Peiping-Hankow Railway, about 112 miles north of Hankow.

Canton, To-day.

The city received three visita-. tions from Japanese raiders this morning, at 1 o'clock, 2.30 and 5 a.m.

The 2.30 raid was the heaviest, a large number of planes coming over and drop- in ping a number of bombs various locations.

It was significant that the raiders carried riding lights, which could plainly be seen from below, and their appearance. oc- casioned an outburst of rifle shots from all quarters, in the faint hope that a stray shot might find effect.

The other two raids were not so intensive, and appeared to consist only of three or four planes, which each time dropped intermittently bombs on the city's outskirts.—Reuter.

Japanese troops on the banks received of the Yangtse, have strong reinforcements and it is said that the Japanese warship "Idzumo" has arrived at Nan- king.

It is surmised in military cir- cles here that owing to the floods in Honan, the Japanese advance on Hankow will be confined to the two aforementioned roads.

Reports here assert that Jap- anese troops in the neighbour- hood of Kaifeng are retreating in an easterly direction.
