"Hitler's Great Insult To China's Ambassador'

Troops Go Out To Meet Attack By Japanese

T

HE ENTIRE CHINESE GARRISON HAS DEPARTED FROM SHA- TAUKOK, LEAVING ONLY ABOUT TWENTY MEN TO DEFEND THE CITY.

This information was flashed to the "Telegraph" at 2.30 p.m. by its Special Correspondent at Shataukok.

The Chinese, now numbering about 1,000 men, have moved to new positions stretching fan-wise from Ngtungshan Valley, north-west of Shataukok to the Mirs Bay foreshore about a mile north-east of Shatankok.

Through field glasses the Chinese are plainly

discernible from the hills near Shataukok.

They appear to be firmly entrenching themselves against a possible attack by the Japanese.
