CHINESE ADMIT FALL OF SHANGCHEN

Hankow, To-day. While admitting the fall of Shangchen, in south- eastern Honan, Chinese military headquarters reported yesterday that the defenders are stub- bornly holding on to Huangchuan, or Kwang- chow, in the same sector.

In a heavy downpour, the Chinese and Japanese forces are fighting outside the city, while Chin- ese reinforcements are arriving in the disput- ed area between the Hupeh border and the Pei- ping-Hankow Railway.

A Chinese communique states that after severe fighting on the out- skirts of Shangchen, about 6,000 Japanese troops entered the city on Friday afternoon.
