objective of the Japanese.

In spite of all their concentrated efforts. however, the Japanese falled to make any headway in this sector because here, as in other fronts, they found that the Chinese were putting up the stir test resistance.

The Chinese launched a very heavy attack on the Japanese lines from Changchalog to the southern side or Wentsaopang., and violent hand-to-hand fighting took place, the casualties not being made known up to late in the evening The Japanese, appear to be par ticularly andous to reach Tazang, But force of their attack was somewhat cut off by the Chinese troups who left their trenches to meet the advancing enemy. Thus taken aback the Japanese were compelled to retire to their orig- inal positions, and in the late evening quiet again reigned in this sector. It is expected, however, that the Japanese will soon make another attempt to take this sector as the movement of the warships on the Yangtse indicates that the attackers are bringing up more reinforcements. The Chinese are also ready for all eventualities and to this end are making all the necessary arrangements to" meet the Japanese---- Bruter.

JAPANESE COUNTER. OFFENSIVES IN SHANSI REPULSED

It is explained that the Central University at Nanking and the Chungshan University at Canton were both in the midst of preparing for the reopening of the academic year at the time of the bombings. Furthermore, as both institutions were located far from the scene of the actual fighting there was no necessity for turning the schools into barracks for Chinese troeps. |

CHINESE PLANES ATTACK JAPANESE ON. NORTHERN FRONT

Tainan, Oct. 22: Chinese military headquarters revealed to-day that a fleet of Chinese bombers flew up the Tientsin-Pukow Railway and subjected the Japanese post- tions north of Yucheng to a severe bombing yesterday.

Two Japanese planes raided Esuchow and Hanchuang where bombs were dropped. There was no damage, however. One of the planes was hit by Chinese anti- alrcraft shells, but managed to escope.

The 2nd Dragoons, like the 2nd Dragoon Guards (The Bays)." have always been officially named after the colour of their horses. The Greys regiment fails to take first place in the order of precedence only because when raised, it was on the Scottish Establishment.

CANNOT BE DISGUISED Horses cannot well be camou- flaged. The Scottish people would presumably object if it were pro- posed to change the colour of the horses. A German officer recently told me that the Greys were the first indication to the Germans that the British were at Mona in 1914. Their horses, he said, could not be missed or mistaken.

That, conceivably, may be onc reason for deciding on a change to machines for a regiment that was thought to be outside the scheme of mechanisation.
