No Continuous Line But a Series of Posts Among Paddy and Creeks There was little or no fighting on the entire front from Liuho to Huangtu during all Thursday, though troops on both sides layin their position ready for the other if they came. Occasional shots were fired, now and then a 3-inch piece setting into action, but the ground was too boggy for fighting. The land retind Huangtu is low-lying, all under cultivation and the rain has made a morass of the greater portion, while the rice fields are fall and' overflowing.
Daring Wednesday night. the artillery from the north opened an intensive fire upon the batteries in the locality immediately adjacent to the railway station at Huangtu and kept them pretty well subdued.
A shell from one actually struck the station itself and tore off a corner of the building. The station master, who was inside on the floor, was injured, it is said either by a ricochet from a bit of the shell or by piece of the flying das The firing stopped at midnight.
