FALL OF NIANGTZEKWAN PASS CONFIRMED

In-

With the fall of Kutseh the Chinese positions at Niangtzekwan Pass. the report revealed, were greatly menaced. A strategic with- drawal was therefore also made by the Chinese forces garrisoning the point.

The retreating Chinese forces are now concentrated at Yang- chuan west of Niangtzekwan Pass on the Cheng-tai Railway, where they decide to halt the Japanese advance. Central News.
