EASTERN STRIFE.
BOMBERS OVER PEKIN. EXPIRATION OF ULTIMATUM. Received September 27, 8.45 a.m. PEKIN, Sept. 26. Four Japanese bombers roared over Pekin to-day dropping a further shower of leaflets reiterating the intention to drive General Fang Chen Wu from the demilitarised zone in accordance with the ultimatum expiring to-morrow. The Chinese Press fears that the bandits’ chief, “Old Rat,” will attempt to create disturbances behind the lines in Pekin and Tientsin. It has been reported that General Fang Chen Wu has rejected the Japanese ultimatum. Hostilities, therefore, are inevitable. A Japanese aeroplane has already dropped a bomb on Shunyi, south of Niulanslian, blit Japanese officials here declare that the Japanese forces will not cross the truce line in pursuit of the rabble. The Pekin authorities are confident that they will be able to safeguard the city.
