TENSION CONTINUES.

Hankow, Sept. 3. Communists are assailing Changsha from the east, couth and west, and it is understood that the Changsha Military Gov- ernor, General Ho Chien, is con- templating withdrawing all the Hunanese troops from places in the vicinity for the defence of the city proper.

The Government forces have

trenches in places some ten miles from Changsha, whilst Govern- ment aeroplanes are daily visiting the environs of Changsha dis- tributing thousands of pamphlets declaring that the Government is ready to enlist any of the Com- munist bandits who desire to sur- render.

General Ho Chien has assured

the populace that he will not re- treat this time without a severel struggle with the Communists.

Communist Attack.

A fierce Communist offensive was directed against Changsha on Monday, but after a severe counter with the Government de- fenders, the invaders failed to break through the barbed wire en- tanglements.

Gunfire can still be heard at Changsha, and rumours are cur rent that the Communist van- guard has occupied Yungantze.

Shansi Counter-Attack. The Shansi forces along the Tientsin-Pukow Railway launched a counter-attack against the Na- tionalists at Lukow, near Tsinan- fu, on Monday. The Nationalist retaliated with heavy artillery and by night the Shansi rebels were repulsed.

After inactivity of several weeks the Nationalist troops along the Peking-Hankow Railway are again busy with war preparations and Home skirmishes with the Kuomin- chun insurgents are taking place in the southern sections of the railway.
