after seventy-two hours of firhtine.
The report is not confirmed. The city
of Namyung was recently captured by
the Red Arm operating from Kiangsi
province. 1t is only 125 miles from
Canton. The Canton government
claims to have effected its recapture.
Red Armies Push Firht in Kiangsi
and Hupeh.
In Eastern Kiangsi Province a
fierce battle is raging around the city
of Kweiki, ore of the few Kiangsi
cities still in the hands of the white
forces. The Marking government
claims that the Red Army has been
repulsed at this point, with heavy
losses on both sides. Marking also
claims the recapture of the city of
Hwokiu, in Western Anhwei Province,
from the Red forces. Both claims are
unconf1remed. Most of the previous
claims by Marking and Canton of
victories over the Red Armies have
been shown up as lies by subsequent
events.
In Northern Hupeh Province, Red
Army of $4,000 has cut off the city
Of Machang and is theoretically
pushing siege. Marking admits
that its armies have been unable to
advance toward Machang, but assures
the inperialists that Marking planes
are daily bombing the Red Army
around Machang.
Marking to Attack in Fukien Today.
The Nineteenth Route Army, whose
heroic defense of Shanghai was
shamelessly betrayed by both the
Marking and Canton gangs, has been
modified in Fukien Province for an
offensive against the victorious Red
Army which has captured control
of most of that province. The often

of the original rank and file personnel
Of the Nineteenth Route Army have
already deserted to the Red Armies,

mass support in the Kuomintang dis

met with little success.
Cholera continues to spread un-
checked In the Kuomintang districts,
taking thousands of lives daily.
Bankers Furnish Funds for New War.
The Marking government has sue
ceeded in raising loan from Chin

campaign. The loan is to be repaid
by taxation on the opium traffic,
which the government has legalized.

Race Between Death and Triekery
The situation now constitutes a
race between the imminent death Of
the two defendants and trickery Of
the Kuonlintang and judges. The
trial before the Supreme Court of
Kiangsu Province was resumed on
July in the absence of the pris-
oners, who could not attend because
Of weakness due to hunger strike and
savage torture. The trial was post
poned following the declaration of
Givens, Irish police chief Of Shane-
hal that the Shanghai police would
cooperate with the court in the pro-
secution.
The defense LAWYERS demands for
a transference Of the trial to Shsng-
hal and admission Of the right Of the
defense to see the prosecution mate
rial have been refused. Meanwhile
the foreign press Of Shanghai took
up an attitude of criticism of tire
Kuomintang for holding the defend
ants in Jail 10 months without trial.
The methods of the court have been
sharply attacked. The foreign press
has stated that the prisoners are too
weak to undergo forcible feeding, but
that nevertheless the Kuonintang
authorities are threatening this step
and obstinately refuse demands for
transference Of the prisoners to a
Shanghai hospital.
Prisoners Are Sinking

and other leading Chinese citizens to
furnish bail was resisted for days by
the authorities. After much effort
the Marking Minister Of Justice 10
Wen Kan finally gave his consent,
but the Judge refused to abide by
this decision unless presented by a
written statement. 10 then declared
that judge was empowered to act in
'dependently. Thus many days were
wasted arguing this point while the
prisoners laid at the verge Of death
