KALGAN CAPTURED.
FIGHTING IN THE NORTH
Received August 27, 11.45 a.m. LONDON. Aug. 26.
The Pekin correspondent of the Times says that the Japanese military authorities at Tientsin announce the occupation of Ivaigai., Hwailai and Pata T ling. The retreating Chinese took every advantage of the mountainous country, but they failed to blow up the long tunnels in the region of the Great Wall. Japanese ’planes are hampering the Chinese retreat from Kalgan. They bombed Tatung and set fire to the station and then pressed the attack against the foothills north-west of Liangsiang. The Japanese also claim the capture of the walled city of Cliingliai, to the south of Tientsin. They say that Pekin may expect to hear gun fire as a result of the operations against the irregulars infesting the countryside. The Japanese Embassy has assured the other Embassies that Japan has no intention of using the diplomatic quarter at Pekin for military purposes.
