The Chinese claim the re-capture of Walchow, key-point on the East River in Kwangtung, and to be attacking Poklo, on the north bank. These reports tend to confirm the bellef that the Japanese detachments in the Blas Bay coastal regions have withdrawn farther inland in view of the fact that supplies can now rench Canton via the Pearl River,

Considerable milltary activity is reported from the West River front where the Japanese have been attacking the Chinese positions near Mafong and Kumlee, west of Samahul,

In Hanan, the Chinese claim successes in the vicinity of Yeyang. They are now holding a line running through Kluling, Poli-no and Shihmenshan.
