CHINESE TURMOIL.
(British Official Wireless.) Received August 12, 10.5 a.m. RUGBY, Aug. 11. Extremely uncertain and unsettled conditions persist in a largo part of China, and unofficial messages report a further advance toward Hankow of the Communist bandit forces which recently sacked Changsha. Foreign Powers with interests in that Yangtse port have taken full precautions to deal with any emergency that may doevlop. Britain, Japan, the United States and France have war vessels in the river, and are in close and satisfactory contact in readiness for whatever action the situation may require. Although the British concession at Hankow was given up four years ago, there aro still large British trade interests in tho city, which is about the size of Liverpool. Japanese and American interests are also considerable.
