STRANGE RUMOURS OF

Prague, Aug. 18.

"Hang Henlein. Down with the Germans: Moscow is with Us!"

This cry was taken up to-day by the Czech inhabitants of Breux, a town in the Sudeten area, when Sudetens and Czechs clashed in demonstra- tion and counter-demonstration in connection with the inauguration of Dr. Alois Ott as Mayor of the town.

In celebration of the occasion, 5,000 Sudeten Germans held a procession through the streets

of Breux. As the procession reached the central

square, where speeches were to be held, it met another procession of Czechs, also heading for the square.

The new Mayor endeavoured to! address the two hostile crowds but was howled down by the Czechs.

A free-for-all fight ensued, in which stones and clubs were used with telling effect, and the Ger- mans broke and fed.

The majority of the Germans bar- rleaded themselves inside the Sude- ten Gymnasium, which rounded by a yelling mob of Czechs, which broke all the windows.

Individual Sudetens who could not enter the gymnasium were chased through the streets and those who were caught were roughly handled by the incensed crowds.

The police made many arrests, taking several Germans as well as Czechs into custody.-Trans-Occon.

South Yangtse Front, Aug. 19. As every day passes, confidence grows among the officers at Chinese Military Head- quarters at this undisclosed spot, that the Japanese will be unable to make further headway towards Hankow unless they bring up more and better troops.

The Headquarter offices here contain quantities of captured Japanese supplies- machine-guns, rifles, gas masks, steel helmets, good-luck charms and letters taken from the Japanese dead.

A pathetic sight is a file of family children, photographs of Japanese-wives, and bearing loving inscriptions on their backs to fathers and husbands who will never return.
