Traveller Tells Of New Attitude Of

Communists

Hankow, May 11. Whole-hearted support of Marshal Chiang Kai-shek's naministration by the Chinese Communist Party is re- ported by n foreign traveller arriving at Hankow after a tour of the Chinese

His reports dispel the scepticism in certain circles regarding the intch- tions of the Chinese Communists.

Everywhere, the traveller reports, he saw slogans such as "Obey Chiang Kai-shek and "Obey the Central Government." And he adds that national Chinese flags are

aying everywhere. Even the troops have discarded their red star caps and are вате the

Appearing before Mr. R. Edwards at the Central Mugistrney this morn ing, charged with being a vagrant in the Colony, W. Jackson, 34, unem- ployed stoker, was committed to the House of Detention.

The messages state that the Japan- esc at Menchwang, who are said to! have taken one thousand prisoners und to have Hlain 2,000, are getting ready for a further advance northwards.

The spokesman of the Japanese authorities here announced yesterday that a force of 6,000 Chinese soldiers has been completely surrounded by Japanese in the region of the Lake Tal, south-west of Shanghai.

This announcement is sensational insofar as it shows that the Chinese have succeeded in penetrating into the region south-west of Shanghai which, as the Japanese always claim- ed, has been completely elenred of Chinese troops for some months.-
