JAPANESE BOMBERS
FLIGHT OVER PEKING FURTHER SHOWER OF LEAFLETS PEKING, September 26. .Four Japanese bombers roared over Peking to-day, dropping a further shower of leaflets reiterating the intention of the Japanese to drive Fang Chen-Wu from the demilitarised zone in accordance with the ultimatum expiring to-morrow. The Chinese press fears that the bandit chief, " Old Rat,” will attempt to create disturbances behind the lines in Peking and Tientsin.
FIGHTING REPORTED. PANG’S CAVALRY DEFEATED. SHANGHAI, September 27. (Received Sept. 27, at 10 p.m.) Fighting occurred yesterday 25 miles from Peking, when Fang Chen Wu’s cavalry sought to enter Kaoliying. They encountered Government troops and were defeated. Newspapers report that- the Japanese actually commenced bombing before the expiry of their ultimatum, inflicting severe casualties on Fang’s troops. To-day the demilitarised zone was reported to be ominously quiet. It is believed that Fang’s troops will be allowed to march towards the armistice line, where it will bo disarmed by Government troops and a small payment made for each rifle. Fang’s revolt is definitely anti-Government and not antiJapanese.
