The most significant item coming from Hankow states that the shortage of rice is becoming acute in view of the fact that the ports below Hankow, such as Kiukiang, Wohu. Nanking, etc., have refused to send any of their own rice stocks, to the Wuhan cities.

Chinese reports from Shanghai state that the Nationalists claim the capture of Yenching together with 7.000 Northern prisoners. It is also reported that the Shantung troops, have been heavily defeated at two other points and that the remnants are retreating in great disorder to Tsinan, the capital of the Province.

In a counter attack by the Northerners al Kooshao Bridge.. the Nationalists claim to have thrown them back and to have captured 2.700 prisoners. They expect to reach the southern bank of the Yellow River shortly.

The defeat of General Yang Sen, after a brief engagement is confirmed, and he is retreating back to Icbang with all speed. Nationalist troops on the Honan front are being brought back to Hankow to meet the threat from the south, the defence of the Honan front being left completely in the hands of Marshal Feng Yu-hsiung..

There has been further strong action in Canton against the "Reds" martial law being suddenly declared on the outskirts of the City in anticipation of an anti-"Red" campaign. There have also been some important Departmental changes, including the dismissal of Chan Fu-mok, a well-known radical leader.
