COMMUNIST PEASANTS.
REVOLT IN CHINA. MANY villages destroyed. DESOLATION IN THEIR WAKE. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received 1.30 p.m. to-day. SHANGHAI, Nov. 11. Rival Nationalist forces at Nanking and Hankow have finally come to grips in the vicinity of Wusih. Shipping was held up and any vessel venturing within range was fired upon. Changsha is. reported to have fallen to the Nankingites under Sun Chuan Fang. A Communist-Peasant uprising of serious proportions laid waste many villages north-east of Wusih along the Shanghai-Nanking railway. Two small armies of Communists, armed with scythes, spears, ancient knives, and agricultural implements, wearing red rags round their necks, are at present sweeping everything in their path, burning and demolishing villages, looting homes, killing the owtners, leaving desolation and also communist literature in their track.
