JAPANESE ADVANCING INLAND.
VANGUARD TAKES ANOTHER TOWN.
INVADERS' PLAN IS TO ATTACK NANKING.
(Received 2 p.m.)
SHANGHAI, November 12
After the Japanese had occupied Naziang, ten miles northwest of Shanghai, a vanguard captured Anting, three miles and a half from Machachen, where the skirmishers of a Hangchow landing force have already arrived.
The road between these points is a veritable sepulchre for Chinese soldiers.
Soochow was subjected to a severe Japanese aerial bombing in pursuance of the invaders' apparent aim to advance upon Hangchow and Nanking.
