NORTH WEST KIANGSI LAID BARE BY REDS

Farmers Forced to Abandon Crops it

Flee to Cities on Alarms

MILITARY HOLDING TOWNS

From North-west Kiangsi has come a graphic story of the Communist-bandit situation. While government troops pour into the province in other districts, Kong Ho Long continues his marauding and banditry, to the devastation of the countryside there. Cities and fields that have been productive for generations sink under weeds before his ravages.

To add to the misery of the people famine has shown its ugly head. What little rice is harvested is in constant danger, because upon the first alarm that bandits are near, the people seize what little they can, and run for their lives to the cities, leaving crops to be stolen, houses to be burned.

All the country in that area is mountainous, so that when driven back, the bandite find safety in the barrenness of the land, where few people live to check their movements. Or dinarily the Government troops dare not leave the towns in which they are stationed for fear of a defeat that would mean laying open the town itself, according to the news received. When attacked, however, the troops fight fiercely.

CANTON SUCCESSES IN SOUTH

The barren, mountainous charac, ter of the country not only acts as a refuge, but it also acts as a goad. Where inertia might stay the hand of the bandita in country, from which they could derive even a meagre living, in north-west Kiang, si they meet the pangs of hunger, sad must take chances.

Rumours of Kung Ho-long.

It happened that the city of Tungku was barricaded all-round with splendid defences and earth. works. Look-out towers and ma chine gun emplacements were ON the hills around. The city was garrisoned by the 77th Division of Government troops, who are well disciplined and well behaved.

The rumours spread that the i Rede had been victorious and were already at Pat-pu. This was once is a prosperous Little township, and the centre of much trade coming over from Bunan tó Tungku. Now through bandit depredations it has gradually gone down until it in practically a wilderness. Houses and shops are ruined, people have fed from folds that are now over- grown with graax and weeds. But Pai-pu is not an isolated case.. Many towns in the Tungku hɛian have gone down similarly.
