(Received Novefr;ber 16, 11.45 a.m.) TOKIO, November 15.
Latest advices reaching the War Office show that two columns of Japanese from the Yangtze Kiang are rapidly converging On SOOchoW, with prospects of trapping masses of Chinese troops who are trying to escape to Nanking from the lake region behind Shanghai, thus facilitating the capture of Nanking. There are indications that the Chinese are now becoming demoralised. The Japanese are beginning to take large batches of prisoners.
