CHECK TO CANTON
ADVANCE POST LOST
(Received Bth February, II a.m.)
SHANGHAI, 7th February. According to a reliable foreign report the Sun Chuan-fang forces have captured Chu,chow, the Southerners' adjance base. The defeated forco is retiring towards the Kiangsi border. As it is well known that the Southerners lately have been hampered through lack of finance and shortage' of ammunition and difficulties of transportation—and there appears' little reason to doubt this report—this, if it is true, removes, at least for the present, danger of a Cantonese threat on Shane,hai. . ■ . .
