ton of Chingtehcheng by the Red armies. AS
for eastern Human, up to the present Pingkiang,
an important district, is in the hands of the Red
troops under Kung -Ho-tsung; and Liu Yang,
another important city, is being beseiged by seven
thousand Red troops. Further, Nanchang, the
capital of Kiangsi, and Kiukiang are more dan
gerous than before. Those troops sent by the
Kuomintang Government to Khan to fight the
Red forces manifest entirely useless Some of the
Red troops at Pengtse are launching an attack on
Kiukiang on the one side and very rapidly dew
clipping to Anhui province on the other. From
the recent movement Of the Red armies we can
see that it seems that they have very good con-
nections between themselves
Although from every side the imperialists have
been using much energy to help the Kuomin-
tang to attack the Red troops, particularly the
German military advisers used up their mental
power to make minute plans of attacking the
Red forces for the Kuonlintang, yet it has been
very often that the Kuonlintang troops were
utterly defeated and routed According to the
reports from the Kiangsi people who are resid-
ing at Shanghai, all the troops sent to Kiangsi
province dare not fight with the Red forces and
Just stay at those places where there are no
Red troops; and sixty out of eighty one districts
in Kiangsi are occupied and besieged by the Red
armies, Because of the uselessness OF the Kuo-
mintang troops, the warships of the foreign pow
ers, especially of the U.S.A., British and Japan,
have been always firing on the Red forces on the
both shores of the Yangtse River For instance,
on October II Japanese warshp named the
Tall Maru fired on the Red troops at Pengtse of
northeastern Kiangsi and next day is accom-
panied a Chinese gunbost to fire on Them, and
the latter defended themselves by firing on the
former. Not long ago British warship spent
twenty-seven minutes to fire on the Red troops
at Hcsueh (23 miles from Shasi of Eupeh prov
ince) with cannons and water machine guns.
Recently an American battleship at Sanchiawan
forty miles from Yochow, the Human Hupeh
border shot the Red troops 270 shots with rifles
and water wasaine guns. Nearly every day the
imperialist warships are firing the Red troops.
So, all the Red troops and revolutionary masses
hate the imperialists to the utmost and endeavor
their very best to propagate and agitate among
the foreign marines in China. Basing on the
information from the sailors of the foreign
steamers from Shasi to Pengtse, over 400 miles
in distance, there are more than twenty places
on the both shores of the Yangtae River where
many Red Flags are hoisted nthe sky, very many
posters such as Support the Red Arrrlies",
Long Live the Chinese Sovetsi", etc, are posted
on the boards on the shores Of the river and
Thousands of handb.Is written with broken Eng
lsh are distributed to the foreign marines agitat-
Ing them not to fight against the Chinese Red
troops but to turn back their guns to shoot their
own officers. Not long before there was kind
Of manifesto in English by the name of the Cen
trail Committee of the Chinese Communist Party
secretly distributed among the foreign scilors
This was discovered by the foreign navy authori-
ties in China who dared not announce this to
the public. But the said manifesto was secured
by the correspondent and part of it is quoted
as follows:
Our brethren, foreign sailors! We Chinese
workers, peasants and toiling masses are now
waging life and death struggles against our COM
mon foes-the imperalists and Kuomintang-for
emancipating ourselves and for establishing the
Soviet regime in China. All Of you are the
sons of the laboring and peasant class in Europe
and America. Both the laboring and peasant
class in Europe and America and the laboring
