Troops Firing on the Shipping Peking, Aug. 25.
Official reports from Ichang say that foreign shipping between Chungking and Ichang has run the gauntlet of the First Army troops stationed on the riverside between Wanhsien and Fouchou with the object of cutting off their defeated enemies from Chungking. These troops have shown a readiness to make targets of foreign vessels and threaten to stop the traffic. Up to the present three foreign casualties have been reported.—Reuter.
