Hankow, May 31.

In a swift enveloping movement from the east, the Chinese drove a small force of Japanese to the Yellow River bank and pushed the bulk of General Doihara's troops further westward, seizing Lanfengkou on the south bank of the river and cutting off Japanese communications with the north bank, according to a divisional headquarters report of activities yesterday.

The Japanese have massed their troops in six mud-

walled villages between the Lunghai railway and the Yellow River and are clinging tenaciously to these positions. Their only intact line of communication is by the Yellow River at way of a pontoon bridge across Chenliukou.
