ALARM IN SHANGHAI
BATTLE NEAR THE CITY
FIGHTING STOPPED BY RAIN.
{DNITKD PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPTRIGHT.)
(KEUTER'S TELEGRAM.)
(Received 10th September, 10 a m ) PEKIN, 9th September. Although the Kia,ng-su forces continue to press hard at Liu-ho, and have gained asmall amount of ground, the Che-Kiang forces are still holding on to their main positions there, and continue holding their own everywhere along the line.° Last night a strong wind carried the sounds of the firing in the Swang-tu sector to Shanghai. This fact had probably something to do with the volunteer mobilisation order and the decision to hind the marines. The nearest point to Shanghai where the belligerents are engaged is fourteen miles away. The railway service between Koo Chow and Nanking is being maintained. The French are erecting wire barriers in the streets leading to the Chinese city.
A special message from Liu-ho states that the Che-Klang- forces have regained all the lost ground in this sector, and have commenced trench-digging. Heavy rain stopped the fighting on the main front in the* evening.
