IN HUPEH REGION
Chungking, To-day. Although no major operations are taking place either, in Hunan or Hupeh, sporadic fighting continues in both regions, evidently in China's favour, judging from press reports. Chinese attempts to recover Chunghsiang, on the Han River, which have been going on now for over a month, still continue.
The town is surrounded on three sides without the Japanese lines of communication in the direc- tion of Kiangshan having so far been cut, so that Japanese reinforcements are arriving con- tinuously from that direction.
As the Japanese have construct- ed formidable fortifications near Chunghsiang, it is thought unlike- ly that the Chinese will gain their objective.
Chinese attacks on Tienmen are also admitted to have been unsuc- cessful, and the Japanese still con- trol considerable territory around Tienmen and Yokow.
LOST PRESTIGE The belief is gaining ground that the Japanese may resume the attack in Hupeh to regain
the prestige they lost by their recent unsuccessful 'attempt to take Hsiangyang.
The Japanese forces in the Tungpeh and Tahungshan moun- tain regions have now retreated to their former positions at Sinyang and Anlu, and are presumably awaiting reinforcements before launching another attack.
JAPANESE RETIRE Fighting in Hunan has apparent- ly died down as no reports have been received. The Japanese have retired across the Sisiang River.
Chinese press reports say that during a skirmish east of Yochow the Chinese killed 500 Japanese and captured 20 machine-guns.
AMAH FOUND IN
WANGHAI
MURDER CASE
Hopes of important develop- ments in investigations. into the savage Wanchai mass mur- der have been heightened by the detention of a woman al- leged to have been the amah employed in the shop where the crime was committed.
The woman was traced yes- terday afternoon and taken to police headquarters, and was under close questioning this morning.
Police theory to-day is that revenge was the primary mo- tive for the massacre of the family, and that any robbery that took place was largely in- cidental.
It was the greatest victory in DETENTION this region during the last few months.

ACTIVITY CEASES
It is pointed out that Japanese naval units off Yochow recently ceased activity after the cessful attempt to land marines near Hwayung.

Military observers are at a loss to understand the Japanese plan in Hunan and Hupeh after their recent setback in north-western Hupeh.
At any rate, calm has prevailed on all fronts for a week.
As so little concrete news is available, it is impossible to pre- dict probabla war developments even in the immediate future. Trans-Ocean.

learns
The "China Mail" from authoritative sources that there can be little doubt that the officer detained by the Ja- panese in Kalgan, is Colonel G. R. Spear, the British Mili- tary Attache in China.
It is disclosed that Colonel Spear started on a tour amỏng the Communist armies in the interior of China some three months ago.
He was planning to filter through the Japanese lines and to emerge finally at Peiping.
The Japanese reports indicate that he was detained on Friday. of last week between the Chin ese and Japanese lines. He was arrested, apparently, at Hwang- hsutsun, in the vicinity of Wutajshan.
