IN SOUTHERN CHINA

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24. Chungking reports that, though the Japanese drive on Kweilin is officially reported to have' stalled 40 miles north-east of the city, the Chinese High Command has indicated a danger that the Japanese may outflank Kweilin. An enemy column 67 miles northeastward of Kweilin is striking south and this could "swing south-west to cut the railway south of Kweilin, thus neutralising the city and also threatening Liuchow, 90 miles further south. The Chinese are fighting another Japanese column nine miles northeast of Wuchow. The Chinese have recaptured Sunning, 75 miles southwest of Canton. Japanese attacks on Paoching, 63 miles west of Hengyang, have been repulsed. Tiie Fourteenth Air Force reports that the Chinese American wing accounted for more than 26,600 tons of Japanese shipping in the»week ended last Wednesday. Many Japanese planes are within striking distance of the active war fronts, but the enemy is hesitant to throw in air power.
