Canton, Sept. 3.
Very severe fighting is in progress in the East River districts of Kuangtung province. Dr. Sun Yat-sen is ordering all the constitutionalist forces to rally there to check the enemy's offensive. It is believed that these operations will be decisive and will end in the next few days. Canton is watching the situation with intense interest. Practically all troops have left Canton cast-wards.—Reuter.
Among resolutions passed by the National 'Students' Conference at Canton in the middle of this month, was one calling upon Dr. Sun Yat-sen to form a responsible government and to telegraph to the friendly Powers urging the withdrawal of recognition from the Peking Government forthwith. The students will ask the Powers to recognize the government of Dr. Sun.—''Eastern Times."
