-Yesterday afternoon, the Japanese subject. ed the town of Tangshan, the centre of con- ziderable British interests, to a heavy aerial bombardment, and severe damage to property resulted.

It is learned that the Cement Works and a large cotton mill were among the premises which suffered most seriously.

The Japanese are making a further attempt to close in on Tangshan by attacking Kuyeh, another Kailan Mining Administration centre.

The Chinese troops are resisting stubbornly and the artillery, almost incessant, can be heard clearly in Tangshan.
