It is definitely established that Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang's forces suffered defeat and were compelled to retreat by the forces of Chang Tsolin in the neighbourhood of Changteho, on the Peking-Hankow railway. Feng has appealed to Chiang Kai-shek for immediate assistance, and the latter is concentrating the entire Nationalist forces. It is reported these number 500,000, and are massing above the Yangtse preparatory to advancing to join Feng in an attack on Peking.
