PEKING, Nov. 26.-A powerful
Red army is sweeping eastward
into Manchuria driving the de-
moralized Chinese forces relent-
lessly before it.
American Consul Hanson today
was informed that Russian air
planes have extended their opera
tions as far into Manchuria as
Bukhudhu, where the leaders Of
the retreating defenders are at
tempting to concentrate their
forces.
Bukhudhu is almost 200 miles
to the southeast of the Siberian
border and one Of the most i'm
portant cities on the main line of
the Chinese Eastern Railroad.
Planes Have New Base
In order to drop their bombs
on the Chinese concentration at
Bukhudhu, the Russian planes
had to span the Kinghan Noun
tains, a range running north and
south about 20 miles west Of that
city.
This was facilitated by the cap
ture of Dalainor and Hailar
which afforded the Soviet planes
a base Of operations Of Man.
churian territory about 100 miles
from the Siberian border.
The Russian infantry and artil-
lery are now reported to have
advanced withing easy marching
distance of the foothills Of The
Kinghan Mountains.
It is feared here that the
Soviet advance will continue along
the Chinese Eastern Railway until
TSitSihar and Harbin have been
taken.
Reports from Harbin tell of
the arrival of thousands Of refu-
gees from the area already en-
compaSsed by the Soviet forces,
who brought with them sorrow
full accounts of privation and
suffering.
Widespread looting and plum
dering by marauding groups of
the retreating Chimes army were
reported.
Although President Chang Kai
Shek has reported having COM
pletely subjugated the rebels in
the central Chinese provinces, it
is not believed here that he can
afford to swing his full strength
northward against the Russian
invaders.
AS a matter of fact, the situa-
ton in the vicinity of Canton is
still admittedly serious. Several
divisions have been dispatched TO
protect that city against a threat
ening rebel advance, according to
reports.
Some observers here are of
the opinion that the Soviet
leaders will halt their advance
at the foot of the Kinghan
Mountains and then reopen nego-
tiations for settlement of the
C. E. r. dispute. These believe
the present Soviet advance is
simply gesture of strength, cal
culated to awe the Chinese into
| better terms.
