RECKLESS BRAVERY,

The Roman Catholic Fathers of St. Colunibana College, Hanyang, spent an exciting and uncomfort able night at that institution They lay in no man's land through out the thick of the fighting but no one was wounded. They spenk warmly of the fighting qualities of the Southerners, who attacked with Д recklessness bordering 011 bravado. The R.C. Fathers were able to get to Hankow without any difficulty this morning. They state. that the Southerners are bent on cutting off Wu's line of retreat and are pressing on to cut the railway above Kilometre 10.

WU'S DETRAYAL Regarding the fall of Hanyang persistent rumours leave little doubt in the minds of the Chinese in the vicinity of Hankow that its fall was effected through the use of "silver" bullets. Sympathetic comment is heard from foreigners at the mishap to Marshal Wu oc- ensioned by the betrayal of the arsenal at Hanyang by his subor dinate, whose soldiers it is rumour- ed, fired into the air throughout the engagement, and then permit- ted the entry of four Cantonese officers who effected the opening of the gatos for the rest of the Southern army, for a certain sum of money.

Another correspondent, writing in regard to the operations, saya that at about two o'clock in the afternoon of the 3rd ins. matters livened up considerably, for it was reported that the Cantonese were. attempting to cross the river be low Hsuchlapan.

GOVERNMENT'S NEXT MOVE.

Rugby, Sept. 14.. Members of the Central Com- informing Mr. Winston Churchill yesterday that the District, Asso- ciations had rejected his proposal for negotiations on a national basis dispersed and left London.

It is authoritatively, stated to-day that the next move, which the Government will make with the object of ending the deadlock will be to summon the representa- tives of the District Condowners' Associations to London to discuss the position and to decide how far basis of negotiation "exists. This step will be taken after the return of Mr. Stanley Baldwin from Aix-les-Bains to-morrow evening.

The Executive Committee of the Miners' Federation met. to-day to consider the position and decided to request the minera in every area to resist the "efforts, of the coal- "owners to secure their defent" and to wait further instructions, pending the decision of the Govern- ment-British Wireless.
