Endeavours to Avoid Antagonising Reich

London, Sept. 1..

It is understood that Great Britain, feeling that the situation has temporarily eased, has advised France against warning Germany re- garding the danger of any precipitate action in Czecho-Slovakia.

It is feared that too much emphasis on the idea of war might antagonise Germany, and it is believed that Sir John Simon's speech last Saturday, coupled with the instructions given to Sir Nevile Henderson, the British Ambassador in Berlin, might suffice for the present.-United Press.

Naval Guns Cause Severe Losses Among Defenders

Tungki, Anhwei, Sept. 2.

Facing a stalemate on both the north and south Yangtse banks upriver, the Japanese are landing troops at Kweichih and Wushacha, on the south bank below Anking, and at Tikang, near Wuhu.

It is reported that no less than 5,000 Japanese have landed at Kweichih and Wushacha, 23 kilometres-west- of Kweichih, under terrific naval barrages since August been 30. Chinese troops defending the bank have putting up a stiff resistance and heavy reinforcements are rushing up.

Heavy fighting, has been going on at Matassu, one kilometre west of Wushacha, at Liyangho and at Antangchiao. On one occasion the Chinese drove the Japanese, which had landed at Matassu, to the brink of the river, but were compelled to withdraw under heavy fire from Japanese warships.
