CHINESE FIGHTING
British Lives Believed Safe SURVEY OF SITUATION Official Wireless. Kugby, Oct. 27. In a statement on the general situation in China the Foreign Under-Sec-retary, Captain R, A. Eden, in the House of Commons to-day said that reports had been received of hostilities in Szechuan and Shantung. In Shantung Chefoo had changed hands, having been occupied without disturbance by forces of General Ham Fu-chu, chairman of the Provincial Government. Fighting continued, but no danger to British life or property was apprehended. Some improvement appeared to have been effected in the Communist situation in Central and South China during the past few months, and military operations had succeeded in driving the Communist forces to a distance from Hankow, and in particular clearing the Han Valley. Normal conditions had not yet been restored along the Peking-Hankow railway.
