MILITARY ACTIVITY. SHANGHAI-NANKING LIRE OUT. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. . PEKING, September 1. Lu Ynng-hsiang’s forces have cut the Shanghai-Nanking railway fifteen miles from Shanghai, and rail communication with Peking is broken. Chi Hieh-yuan’s outposts are pushing nearer Shanghai, but so far there has been no fighting.-—Reuter. WHOLESALE CONSCRIPTION. r , PEKING, September 1. There has been merciless and wholesale conscription everywhere in the war area, farmers, laborers, coolics_, and any man fit to fight being pressed into service.
