OFFENSIVES IN CHINA
NATIONALIST FORCES COMMUNISTS AVOID BATTLE (Rec. 11.30 p.m) NANKING, July 25. Nationalist forces captured Ling-pi, 55 miles south-east of Suchow railway junction, and penetrated 50 miles from the south into the Kiangsu-Anhwei border Region, says the New York Times correspondent. Communist sources state that the farthest advance on the southern front was made in the Pantaehi area, 45 miles north of Nanking. The Communists are apparently avoiding a decisive battle. Yenan radio reports that Government armies are conducting six offensives eastward on an 80-mile railway front from Suchow southwards. Central Government armies are converging on Huaying, which is the Communist military headquarters in Kiangsu and lies 70 miles north of the farthest point in the Nationalist advance from Kiangsu.
