Hankow, June 14.

Following the fall of Anking the Chinese main line of defence has been removed further towards Hankow, and the Chinese troops are now principally concentrated near Tsienshan, 30 miles north-west of Anking.

Protest in London

London, June 14. The Japanese Ambassador to-day saw a deputation of five members of the China Campalm Committee.

He declared that the Japanese Government had found it necessary to destroy the anti-Japanese move- ment in China. It had hoped at the beginning of the war that the conflict would be localised in the north, but reluctantly had to go on to Shanghai and Nanking.

ટી.

The Japanese attempt to bring about junction of the troops now at Anking with the columns operating west of Hofei, it is stated, has failed, owing to the northern columns having been held up by the Chinese in the neighbourhood of Tungchen.

It is admitted here that the capture of Anking gives the Japanese atr force a great advantage, since a large airport near Anking affords an excel- lent base for air rulds on Hankow.

It is added, however, that both banks of the Yangtse Illver urc strongly tortilled, so that the hope of successful resistance to further Japanese advances along its muddy waters are not unduly pessimistle.-- Trans-Ocean,
