Japanese estimated that 200,000 Chinese wore retreating from the area or joining in the defense of the city, and they hoped to trap some of them with the aid of a column that, taking the city of Suhsien to the south, was marching rapidly northward.

Chinese authorities at Hankow, the emergency capital, denied persistently that the Japanese had entered the city but reports to the contrary were so circumstantial as to leave little doubt of their authenticity. The Osaka Mainichl correspondent at Suchow reported that “all foreign property is safe despite the fact that flames are sweeping the citv.” The correspondent also reported that two Japanese air squadrons landed at the airdromes one mile east and one mile southwest of Suchow. Japanese reports said that the fires were started by the Chinese who resorted again to the "scorched earth policy" of leaving in their wake nothing of value for the Japanese. Foreign military and diplomatic ; observers predicted that the Japi anese would not stop at Suchow but would drive on to Hankow, the provisional capital. Peiping dispatches said that the Japanese military in North China during the past fortnight had abandoned hints of possible peace efforts. The Japanese announced the fall of Suchow, the heart of central China’s railroad communication system, in a radio broadcast at 10 pin. last night. The announcer claimed that Generalissimo Chiang I Kai-Shek had fled by airplane after personally directing the d»-fense ot the city. o Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
