PUBLISHED

TO-DAY

The Struggle in Kwangtung, especially around Swatow, between the Red Ferces, backed by the dismissed exttremists of the former Hankow Covernment, on the one hand, and the Cantonese Forces under General Li Tsai, Hsin, on the other as outlined from day to day. It is a struggle whose upshot is of great importance to Hong Kong.

From the Northern War front the full story of Sun Chuan Fang's defeat on the banks of the Yangtze is told in detail, with eyewitnesses accounts of the heary fighting and the surprising steadiäess and brüvery of Chinese troops on both sides.

In Hong Kong the outstanding event was the arrival of the "Pride of Detroit pilote 1-by the intrepid Americans W. Brock and E. Seblee who hoped to circuit the world in 2 days.

The scene at their arrival and departure, and a special interview grauted to local pressmen, make interesting reading..
