Indicating the severity of the fighting to the wes: of Kiangwan Village yes- terday, the Japanese concede that they suffered over four hundred casualties, while over eighteen hundred Chinese dead were counted, including a `bátch of two hun- dred slain at one small, strong point, which had been the scene of a grim struggle for several days. Every attack launched against the position had been swept back by furious fire from the gallant defenders, but yesterday they were wiped out.

But while there very heavy losses suffered by the Chinese, chiefly from the terrific bombardments from guns and aeroplanes, and the continued intensive shelling, have severely shaken the morale of the Chinese forces, it appears that it was the new threat, arising from the landing of the Eleventh Japanese Division The Charman .receives five Thousand pounds and the other

The incident followed local aglu tion for some time past that the Welsh flag should be flown from the highest tower of the Castic on St. David's Day, March 1, which is also the Weish National Day.

Government sanction for this was, however, refused, and the Rod Dragon was flown, as previously, from the West Tower of the castle, which is not ao prominent.
